A New One,

The latest one on the professor comes
to us from suburban town:
A college professor who had become
tired of his city life and longed for the
freedom of a country home finally
had saved enough from his salary TO
crafty his wishes and purchased a
little farm and moved theron at once.
He had a vague idea that chickens
should form a part of a well regulated
farm, and forthwith proceeded to buy
a hen and a setting of eggs. The hen
performed her part of the contract ana
IN due time brought forth brood of
healthy chicks, but in few days they
began to droop and die. The profess
or, puzzled as to the cause of the trou-
Bile, called one of his neighbOr farmers
into council to see if he could locate
the trouble
The farmer looked at the chicks and
saw that they were scrawny and poor
little things and asked the professor
what he fed them.
Feed them" said the astonished
professor 81 don't feed them anything.

for them"
