More neighbOrhood trouble has
originated from neighbours chickens de-
strOylng garden crops than from any
other one source. 1t has been asserted.
A good, clOsely-woven wire fence is
the best insurance that can be taken
out against such troubles.
A garden was being destroyed by u
neIgnbor's chickens, and the owner
bored small holes In grains of corn
and tied a thread about a foot In
length to each kernel Of corn. On the
other end Of the thread he tied small
tags on which was printed. Il have

When the fowls went home with one
or more of these tags hanging from
their beaks. there was no further trou-
BILE.
A good fence not only keeps out
neighbours chickens but dogs and cats
as well. While the chickens scratch
up the ground, the dogs destroy 1t by
running over It and making beds I'm.

crops. Cats are particularly trouble
