CHICKENS WORK TO LIVE.
An Egg Producer Gives Valuable
Advice to Farmers.

READING, Pa, Nov. 10-Some
valuable advice to farmers is given by
G. II. ID. Line, who is a great chicken
raiser and egg producer in Lower
Alsace. His plan in brief is to make
his hens work for a living. Mr.. Line
says:
1T is necessary to make hens scratch
for living.
II accomplish this by feeding corn
on the cob instead of Smelling it. |
take what | consider necessary num-
her Of ears, split them up into small
parts and throw them to the chickens,
leaving the grains of corn on the cob.
This makes them work in order to Sc
cure meal. and work of this kind is
absolutely requisite to the production
Of eggs.
II have observed this principle OF
feeding for some years and have been
satisfied with the results, because my
hens lay in the fall and winter, when
eggs are high in price"

in the neighborhood Of Carriers home,
and with whose family he was on
terms of intimacy Carter is sixty
wears Of age, and, the child states, has
made frequent similar attempts. The
girl was often in company with Carter,
and there was no reason To suppose
that anything Of an improper nature
had taken place until Saturday night,
when the child who had been despon-
dent and afraid TO leave her home
was closely questioned and made a
full disclosure of the facts stating that
within the past two weeks Carter had
made numerous attempts al assault,
one in his own home and several times
in a woods not far from the Benmey
home.
The incenSed father went to Car
ter's house last night and the latter,
while unwilling to make any positive
denial gave evasive answers of a
character to convince the father that
the child's statement was true. Capt.
Benney brought his daughter to
Chestertown last night to physician,
and an examination disclosed an un-
successful attempt, as narrated by the
child. Constable Rose was given a
writ before daylight, and about 10
O'Clock this morning lodged Carter in
