While we do mot profess to edit n
 poultry column or column on All
 About Hens,n we are going to hatch
 few ideas about chickens.
 There are two kinds of chickens, the silk stocking high top shoe variety and the legged-unmanicured. toed breed. One kind cackles while the other giggles; one wears a top comb while the other sports side combs, md both are called old hens by indseteet persons when they, the chickens, pass a certain age. One kind sits on fresh eggs while the other sits on fresh lob sters, or Holsters who get fresh. With one feathers are always in style while al times the other specie sports cher ries or bright hned flowers. It k easily seen that they have many simi lar characteristics so that we feel 1t necessary to emphasize definitely thnt our Ideas are about the kind that go to roost early, get up with the sun, or little before, and think everybody else ought to .tum ble out of the hay covered four poster at the same lime. We have no ideas to express about the other kind as our knowledge is only founded ,on heressy and would have no weight with our readers.
 We don't profess sny profound Knowledge about the bnrnysrd breed except as we have disected them Ia Maryland or a Ia King, when we think them very nice. We know we owe our egg supply to them and we do not hold them al fault for their shelIed fruit being kept in cold storage for high prices. We know that their beauty is only feather deep and we don't care whether they are brown, white or red If they dress nice and tender.
 We also know that two birds In the henhouse are better than one in the garden, especially fl we happen to own the garden. And it Is this character. isiic of chickens that we have been asked to write about. If you happen  been requested to ask you not to let them play in our yard, or your neigh bors' yard, that Is, if he is one of the present enthusiastic home gardeners. A home garden is never meant to be home for chickens although If they get in they make themselves very much at home and help themselves to the delicious fat worms that nestle down among the home gardeners rows of table delicscies in the embryo state. This habit Of chickens to scratch where the tender little Deetleis and baby onions are just starting to grow retsrds growth and discourages the boss of the home garden. If the chickens would pull weeds Instead of scratch up seeds we would not have been asked to write this article. 1t Is because they destroy the anticipated results of many bark aches, blisters, and tired muscles that objection to their uninvited calls have been registered.
 If you keep chickens and they are not trained to stay at home please form . home guard and begin the training at once. This will be great help 10 more intensive food production in i your neighbours back yard and may i ,ave deep wide gulf springine np be- tween you. If you have no home gar den yourself but are content to raise chickens and eggs you can readily un-

derstand what your feelings would be if your neighbor kept 8 breed of fowl that came Co your house and destroyed your product.
 Of course we can't blame the chick. ems. They do not understand the meaning of patriotism or they would not do such things under the present situation. But the owner, who dis plays the Stars and Stripes from his front piazza, should realize that the bRck Of his house is not patriotic if he allows his chickens to steal into his neighbor's adjoining backyard and forage on land planted at the request of the government.
 In this chicken campaign our slo. gan is-Keep your chickens at home.
 In looking out Of the window Of the room where we spend our nia hts, Sat urday morning, we immediately be- came a member of Putnam's citizens surprise party We thought that we might live to tell other peoples chil dren snd grandchildren, forty or fifty years hence, how on the 5th day of May, A.

But the sun beat us 10 it, and before we drained the last drop from our coffee cup, had done the work we wer. looking forward to with such joy, and hardly a shovelful of winter remained on the small space at the top of Oak Hill we call our domi- cile, when we had donned our gum shoes and slammed the front door.
