To Regulate a. Cocks Crow.

A Brockton, (Mass.) man has patent
ed device 10 keep roo5ters from
growing during the night or early
morning. An arrangement is fastened
to the ROSTERS bill at night by,
clasp, which does rot interfere in
any way with the birds breathing.
When he attempts to crow. however,
his clarion note will not come forth
until his owner chooses to remove the
clasp. The inventor believes that.
after a time, the rooster that wears
the anti-crower will cease wanting to
crow even when the device is not at
tached to his bill. in which event a
further hope is entertained that race
OF non-crowing fowls may be raised
