the two hundred neatly picked fowls

not one remained. The kitchen door,

through the woodshed TO the garden,

ran TO the door Of the wood-shed and
there, in the garden, were all OF our
chickens-two hundred OF them,
plueked, but none the less alive-busily
scratching up the vegetables. A family
council, quickly summoned, found no
difficulty in analysing the situation.
Evidently the fowls had fed upon the
fcrmented cherries, VIII ch had thrown
where they could get them, and when
we supposed them dead, they were in
reality dead drunk. While we were
asleep, they had recovered their senses
and walked out of doors. Happily, none
of them seemed to be injured at all by
the process of plucking they had un-
dergone. The hens kept on laying just
as we'll and the ROSTERS were as proud
as ever. In fact, my mother afterwards
said that the feathers brought her a con-
siderable profit, and she seemed to think
that perhaps chickens would yield bet.

''Thc incident of my life which im-
pressed my mind most deeply was a
calamity that befell my immediate
family during my early boyhood," said
government official recently. "My
father was farmer. We kept chick
ems, about two hundred in nun Der, the
eggs and tender progeny of which were
sent to market and furnished not in
considerable fraction of the family in
come.
Zone summer, at the season when
the fruit was ripe, my mother made
great quantity of cherry bounce, for
the brewing of which she was famous.
After completing the process, she di-
rected me to throw the refuse of fer
mented cherries away and did so. /
threw the stuff near the chicken-houses,
thinking that the fowls might relish it.
Later on we heard great deal Of ex-
cited squaw1ing from that direction,
but paid no particular attention to it.
After supper | went out, as was my
usual duty, to see that the poultry had
gone to roost all right for the night.
You can imagine my establishment and
dismay when found all of the chick
ens-hens rooster, pullets and coclSrels
scattered in and around the chicken
houses, every one of them dead.
II need not dwell upon the conster-
nation occasioned in the family by this
appalling misfortune Two hundred
fowls, which a short time before had
been apparently as healthy as any
poultry that ever scratched for worms
in barn-yard, were stiffening in
death. 1t was no time to indulge in
improbable grief, however. AS my
mother suggested, while drying her
eyes with her apron, the only thing to
do was to pluck them and send them to
market in the morning.
''With all hands busily engaged, we
finished the job by one a. M, stacking
up the plucked chickens on tables and
in corners. 1t was melancholy task,
but we tried to console ourselves with
the reflection that the money
they brought for flesh and feathers
would purchase fair nucleus for a
new flock. So tired were we that none
of us woke up until after six, which is
pretty late for farmers. was the first

and horror the results OF our labors OF
the previous evening had vanished, Of
