will not apply to them as to some 9TH
ers. The nervous, restless chickens
should be made to flock together. They
would pine away and die if confined in
a narrow enclosure where the dull.
heavy chickens might find ideal quar-
tiers. A defective flock needs heavy
feeding to bring them up, and an over
fed flock needs smaller rations and a
little more exercise.
AS the flock is fed it will be found
that some individuals will show pecu-
liarities Of their own, and they should
be separated from the others to pre-
vent injury to the others. We can do
no better than to study the fiocks In

A Bulldogs characteristics.

George Eliot tells story OF visit

dog and child. each of the age OF six,
were among the household possessions.
During dessert, after dinner, while all
were absorbed in conversation, they
were startled by loud nowl of pain
from the dog, evidently proceeding
from under the table. An investiga-
ton Immediately made discovered that
the child, equipped with a pair OF
scissors, was under the table also, and
trying to cut the dogs ears with them,
From one ear of the bull the blood was
running, and yet the dog was making
not. the slightest effort to escape or
defend himself. The host and father,
outraged by the evidence of such
cruelty on the part of the child, deter
mined on immediate punishment. But
when he undertook to carry the punish
ment into effect the dog interfered.
pushing himself between the master
and the child and licking the face OF
the latter, it was characteristic of the
breed.
