To keep the neighbor's hens from
one's garden there are three methods:
tbe longer, the shorter and tbe intermedi
ate says tbe Franklin News, The long
method is to scatter corn and oats around
the neighbor's chicken house, so the bens
won't be starved into going away from
borne; the intermediate method Is to chase
them home, and the shorter method Is
unlawful and informal, connected with
cookery and the meat business, so we
won't mention it.

hence we gather our collection from the
