ANOTHER GOOD COOP.
New York Man Describes Simple
Arrangement That Can Be Utfl-
lied to Advantage.

It is now well to see that every
thing is in preparation for the rush
of work that always comes with the
arrival of warm weather. Among
other things, chicken coops for the
broods to be Matched out in early May
will be needed, and where such do
not exist or have fallen into decay,
the simple arrangement shown here
with in the illustration can be util-
lied to good effect.
Indeed, better and more easily
constructed chicken coop is not read
lily found. Why? Because the prin-
cipal thing required is merely an
empty grocery box, which can usu-
ally be obtained at any store for the
asking. A block of wood having been
nailed at each corner as legs for it to
rest upon, and the top replaced by

Teaching Chickens to Eat.

Some people have good deal Of trou-
BILE with brooder chicks in teaching
them to eat. When they have a hen with
them the work is easy, but without a
hen the task appears to be difficult.
But really there will be no trouble if
the owner has few chicks that have
been taught by the old hen or have
learned themselves. Simply put some
of these young chicks with the others
and the lesson will be soon taught

Cookie in Wheat Screenings.

1t will perhaps not be out of place
to warn poultry raisers against feed
ing wheat screenings that contain too
much cookie seed. The fowls will eat
the cookie seed if it is fed them, and
if they eat considerable quantity they
will die from the effects of it. Cookie
is a poisonous plant and its seeds con-
tain poison. A little of this poison is
not fatal in it's effects, but COM
paratively large amount is.-Farmers'
Review.

THE VICTORIA THEATRE.

At the Victoria Theatre last night new musical
farce called Miss Prinnt'' played for the
first time in New-York. 1t is the work OF George
V. Hobart as to its words. and John L. Golden, as
to its music and the title part was acted by Miss
Marie Dresser. In its whole structure and texture
It IS coarse and commonplace in a high degree
There have been worse farces. tc be sure; some a
good deal worse, but this one Il far enough below
nedlocrity TO make 1t impossible Of serious dis
cussion. The dialogue Is altogether common and
the devices for comic effect are time worn not a
few Of them distinctly recalling previous familiar
and successful efforts. Miss Dressler Is at times
amusing in a broad manner, but such things as
refinement and charm not 70 be thought Of
when she is on the stage. large audience ap-
nlauded with industry and Determination.

about what IT usually is on Christmas. The cheap
theatres and the cheap places in the higher priced
theatres were well filed in the afternoon. and the
rest Of the houses were pretty nearly empty. In
the evening nearly all the theatres were crowded.
The holiday season has had the usual depressing
effect on the theatres in general but IL is the gen
