RECEPTION PLANS NIPPED BY FROST First Hnrrimnn Trnln Pnsscs Up Crowd Gathered to Welcome It The first passenger train to conic in over the Deschutes line to Madras was an ice train. At least that is the way it seemed to the half hundred or more rep resentative citizens who went to the temporary depot on Agency Plains in a dozen or so automo biles to await the coming of the special bringing in Mr. Krutsch nitt, Mr. O.Brien, Mr. Botschke and other officials of that line. In anticipation of giving the rail way magnates as hearty a wel come as possible the crowd was all in readiness at the depot! when the train pulled in, but the i train never stopped at the depot ! going on two or three hundred yards and passing up the Madras people like a "white chip." The majority of the crowd climbed into their autos and returned to town while a few followed the train to the point where it stop ped. 1 After a time Mr. Boschke and Mr. O'Brien came out of their car, Mr. Krutschnitt being indis posed. The officials declined to visit the city that evening, say ing that the would be down the following morning. However, the Madras people had no more than returned when Mr. O'Biien and Mr. Boschke followed and spent the evening in town. It was a funny business all around and the evening was frosty.

LOUCKS BROTHERS A JUDOE AT WOISK. seen often at ten of tho old fairs al together. Few fair Judges get less than $10 per day and expenses, and some at whiter shows receive from $2,"j to $100 per day. It's no cinch to Judge today, when entries are so large, breeds so many, competition so keen, exhibitors so wise and breed stand ards change so often. Judges are born, not made by a license of the American Poultry as sociation. Exhibitors won't stand funny busi ness. They demand for Judges men of strict honesty, common sense nnd practical experience In tho breeds scored. A tricky Judge soon gets It in the neck, an overbearing know-it-all and bullhead who will not acknowledge a proved mistake gets turned down, a Judge Avho boozes and swears at shows Into oblivion quickly goes, while an association that owns tho Judge or allows a trickster to do the scoring soon closes lis doors. It Is wise for Judges to preside at shows away from home, as they may be charged with bias. They should never exhibit whore they Judge, even if their birds ate scored by others. A. E.

Athens. Pa., boasts a hen that lays such Hat eggs that a cluck cannot turn them. She squeezed herself going through a picket fence. Athens egg dealers are now advocating corsets and tight lacing for all hens, as tho Hat hen fruit may be packed In small er crates, with less breakage. If you nail up a cabbage In the coop place It so high that the chickens must Jump to get a bite. Keep out Mother Turkey. She'll cat the whole head and next day bo dead. A queen bee Is snid to live from two to five years, a worker from forty days to six months and a drone about live weeks. Hut lots of diono hens live on farms for years and years and yet eat their heads off every day. When hens are on range it is wise to watch their crops. Some hens come homo with crops almost bursting, while others loaf around tho buildings and wait for thu next feed or return from the Held with littlo In their bread bas ket. A poor forager Is nearly always a poor layer. Squire Lot a oi' Columbia, Pa.. lias a hen that lays an egg with a handle. As the nillro.ul companies are now es tablishing poultry plants for fresh eggs and broilers tills breed of hen will Just suit tho Panhandle.
