The class of peasant which may be called Ia

the laborer-farmers cultivate for their own bene

Hes Not a Chicken Eanoier.


Speaking of chickens a funny man
writing in Puck says:
They are the most dadbusted, un-
certainest creatures that walk the fam
lily acre. Almost everybody tries to
raise chickens at one time or another.
Looks easy-that's the deceiving part
of it.
And it is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything. medium sized chickens don't
know anything. If there is any change

increases the big ones know less If
possible than the little ones.
