we bought a flock of White Wyan-
dottes as a starter and ordered a set
ting of eggs from a well-reputed
breeder. Result: Two hatched. After
some discussion by mail the breeder
allowed us another setting Result:
Three hatched. Thanks to our care
ful method of attention all these
chickens of high ancestry, excepting
one, became lost in the rest of our
flocks. That one was spotted and
leg banded.
AS the sole surviving identified OUT
come Of the two matches this individ-
ual represented an investment OF Sc
or 81 as q chick. BY the time her
pullet days arrived and we had en-
tered her in the poultry show, after 4
most elaborate toilet, suppose she
had cost $40 So naturally she just
walked off with a yellow ribbon as
fifth best pullet Now wasn't that a
lot to crow about?
And we didn't sell any 50 settings.
Instead we sold most OF the flock 10
Hebrew merchant at 10 cents a
pound live weight and traded the rest
for firewood
From our experience we offer the
following lessons to any who may be
tempted to play the great American
Shell Game:
Don't leave the care Of the chick
ems to someone else.
Don't tend to them yourself.
Provide indivual drinking cups.
Provide a mat in front Of the wet
mash hopper so that the chickens
may wipe their feet before entering
the hopper In training the chickens
to wipe their feet begin with the left
I foot.
Be sure to gather the eggs several
times a day If you have to carry
the same egg back and forth several
times remember it is an inspiration
to the hens. If there are no eggs two
gatherings are sufficient
Never spray for lice the first time
you think of il; the longer you waii
the fewer sprayings will you require
The same directions apply TO cleaning
the chicken house
/ Don't kill the laying hen: leave all
such murderous acts to someone else
Above all don't let the care of the
chickens Interfere with anything else
] you wish to do.

FOR $4,000 DAMAGES

Papers have been filed in the Office
of the clerk of Bennington county
court in suit brought by Allen A.
Roberts of Rupert against Oliver II.
Danforth Of the same town. The am
cunt of damages is placed at $4,000.
This suit grows out Of the trespass
proceedings brought by Danforth,
who, together with relatives, claimed
to own a certain piece Of. timber land
In the northern section Of the county.
The suit is brought on the ground
that the damages in the trespass case
we're placed so high that Allen A.
Roberts could not secure bail. Be
cause Of this fact, it is alleged, he was
obliged to undergo imprisonment. The
attorneys for Roberts claim that the
damage to the property by reason Of
the alleged trespass did not exceed
so. The suit for damages is brought
by Holden & Healy.
