HEN IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT

She Seems To Be Determined to Make Herself Known and Talked About. Danville, Ind., Oct. 20.—Wilbur Powers, of Clayton, is the owner of a freak in the fowl line, which he thinks cannot be duplicated in the entire state, He has a game lien, seven years old, which has changed color completely within the last five years. Until she was two years old the hen was a beautiful black, but during the third year the plumage was about evenly divided between white and black. Then the black turned to white, remaining so until this fall, but with moulting season the plumage has again assumed the black and white. The legs and beak of the hen were originally black, but are now a pure white.
