When ordinary powers of" persua- sion no longer bring\results a few toward increasing production and snappy tunes may go a long way bringing down the price of ‘“hen fruit.” % This was the solution of the prob- lem as outlined by Frank Habig of this city. He decided, after intensive thought, that what his hens needed was exercise. Howecer he found it a hard matter to stir them out of their accustomed inactivity. As a last resort he put a phonograph in the corner of the yard and after playing several selections found that the jazz had the desired effect. The hens were visibly restless, and the result of their restlessness is two eggs a day.
