A True Hen Story.
FARMER.


A neighbor1ng farmer had motherly hen
who liked to make herself useful by taking
care Of all the young things of the farm
yard. Not only her own chickens but
young turkeys and peacocks were given her
to look after. and she watched them faith
fully, and prevented their straying away or
getting lost. In fact she was Hrst-rate step.
mother.
One day the farmer hearing s great neise
ard to-do in the barn, went to see what was
the matter. He found the hen and cat
fighting with all their might and main over
some kittens; the cat being unwilling to give
hsr children up to q hen. The latter hap
pened at this time TO be out of employ
ment, and seeing the litter of young kittens,
had thought IL her duty to look after them.
So she undertook to cover them with her
wings and make them her own. This almost
smOthered the kittens, who were not IN
tended TO be cared for in any such way.
/ am sorry to have to say that this story
has a sad ending. Not seeing the hen for
some days, the lady of the house asked the
farmer about her and was told that she hsd
made herself so troublesome by persisting in
adopting the kittens that she had been killed
to get her out of the way.
Moral-Let your neighbor look after bis
own children and don't meddle with bis fam.

Can Bees Commit rresps.- /?

Mr.. S. J. Freeborn, of Ithaca, Wis, has

mostly covered with white clover, and occu.
pied by about a hundred blooded sheen.
The owner Of the pasture and sheep brings
suit to recover $500 damages bone by the
bees, which he declares come in countless
hoTdes molest the sheep, and drive them
from their feeding places. He also affirms
that last season his sheep became thin in
consequenc &c Of the annoy alce of the bess,
and that many of them died during last win
ter. The bringing of this case has created
considerable excitement among bee-keepsrs
in Wisconsin, and the proposition has bean
made that they contribute money to help
pay the expenses of defending the suit. Ii

tious lawsuits. If damages are awarded in
this case, any man owning few square rods
of land, devoted to almost any purpose, may

Of bees in the vicinity. Nearly all natural

in this country and Europe have found ii to
