First Essential Is to Note Whether
Fowl Is Rangy or Blocky—For-
mer Produces Eggs.
There are several things which
should be considered In selecting hens
for layers, shape and size, color of
bead furnishings, actions of the Indi-
vidual, pelvic bone test.
The first thing to notice concerning
the shape Is as to whether or not the
hen is rangy or blocky. A blocky
hen Indicates a meat producer, while
the more rangy one Indicates the pro-
duction of eggj Since the develop-
ment of the eggs to a large extent
takes place In the region of the body
below the broad part o' the back that
part of the body should be broader
than the fore part. This gives to the
body a V-shaped appearance as
viewed from the top, the small part of
the V lying to the front. When a hen
Is In heavy laying condition her ab-
domen is lower than the breast line.
This gives the body the appearance of

WHY OKLAHOMA GROWS.
The Human Element Much of a Fac
tor in Empire Erection.
There Is, after all, nothing so very
wonderful about the remarkable pro-
gress of Oklahoma; about its rapid
growth and development; about its
place in the household of Uncle Sam.
When one considers the various ele-
ments contributing to this forward
movement, it would be very strange,
indeed, should Oklahoma have pro-
gressed only in a mediocre degree.
Extraordinary elements bring about
extraordinary results.
For twenty and one years Oklahoma
has been attracting to Itself men of
different molds. It has, it Is true,
been unfortunate enough to get, in
this time, some citizens one may eas-
ily classify as "undesirable." Natur-
ally enough, the parasite may always
be found hovering in the vicinity
where dwells that upon which he
seeks existence. No state is free from
him; every bee-hive has its drones.
There are drones here, but, fortunate-
ly, they totaf small.
This "Land of the Fair God," how-
ever, is full to overflowing with men
who have ever been willing workers
in the camp of the constructionists.
We could fill columns enumerating
them. History will record them.
At this time, however, it is the pur-
pose of this article to call attention
particularly to but one of these. He
is up for consideration at the hands
of the people. He is seeking the op-
portunity to administer the affairs of
the state. Consequently it is meet
and proper that a word or two be
spoken of him that the people may
know about him.
C. G. Jones—"Gristmill Jones,'"
who, in this wide and broad and fer-
tile state of ours, has not heard of
him? And why have they come to
know him so well? It is because Mr.
Jones has been as busy as a bee ever
since the run. He has been one of
the willing workers in the camp of
the con«ti1jD{J<)nrtfts He litis been
one of the powerful factors which has
achieved results; brought about the
things that have counted in the march
ahead. We .bus done tilings. What
he has done will be tefuto future ar-
ticles.
In this, the purpose is to just call
the attention of the public to the fact
that C. G Jones has announced him-
self a candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination at the hands of his party
—the republican—and to say that
among its fine citizenship, it would
be hard for Oklahoma to find a more
suitable one.
The kind of work that Mr. Jones
has done, together with the work
that many others like him have done,
lias contributed materially to the
growth and develipment of the state.
And there is more work of the same
kind still to come. It is a pleasure
to talk about this class of empire
builders. Oklahoma owes much to
them. Oklahoma will not prove un-
grateful.

being V-shaped as viewed from the
side along the top and bottom lines, i
with the small part of the V to the
front. This enlargement of the body !
In the abdominal regions makes the
back appear somewhat narrower, giv- j
Ing body a V-shaped appearance from
the back downward on the sides as
viewed from the rear. Thus a body
V-shaped in three different directions
indicates large productive powers.
A large hen usually lays the larger
eggs. This rule may not hold true If
she happens to be a heavy producer
j for then the tendency Is to produce
smaller eggs. With such fowls as the
leghorns, whose tendency is to lay •
smaller eggs, the selection should be
for large size of body rather than
small.

and legs than a meat-prodjjclng hen.
She stands up well and has a well-
spread tall.
Immediately below the tai,l at the1
end of side pieces of the back are two
somewhat bony protuberances. These
are called the pelvic or "lay" bones,
and are just above the vent. When
an egg Is laid these bones must be
forced apart to allow Its free passage.
When these bones are soft and pliable
nnd spread sufficiently to allow three |
fingers to be placed between tbem It j
Is an Indication that the hen is lay-!
ing. If they are hard and bony, and
close together, the hen would not be
considered as laying at that time
To sum up, an Ideal laying hen I
should conform as nearly as possible
to the following: She must be
healthy, comb, wattles and face red in :
color, eye bright and lustrous, neck
not short but rather medium to long,
breast broad, long and sloping upward,
back long and broad, abdomen wide
and deeper than breast, shanks well
spread and rather long, V-shaped In
three ways as Indicated above.

MORGAN WANTS MORE MONEY
Washington, D. C.—Representative
Morgan is dissatisfied with the {
amount of money appropriated in the i
house for the Oklahoma City federal
building. He feels that smaller cities
have been better treated. This is
also shown in the tentative appropri-!
ations for buildings in Oklahoma,j
made public Thursday. Mr, Morgan
wants $40,000 more for the purchase
of good material for Oklahoma City's
building. The appropriations for
Oklahoma, as agreed upon, follow:
El Reno, 1100,000; Kingfisher, $50,-
000; Blackwell, $50,000; Ardimore,
$150,000; I.iwton, $152,300; Musko-
gee, $360,000; Guthrie. $125,000; or a
total of $1,117,300. It is also possible
that the limit of cost of the Ardmore j
building may be raised to $187,000.)
as the senate has already passed a
bill appropriating this amount for
that city.
