In 1817 the dissatisfied weav er of Lancashire, England, got together and resolved to march up to London and lay their griev ances before the prince regent. As It was quite a way to London, each took a blanket along to wrap about him at night. About 6,000 made the start, and a curi ous looking parade It must have been. One eyewitness described the marchers as "a most de plorable lot, without food and without organization." Scarcely had they begun to move when they were attacked by the mili tary and partially dispersed. Some kept on, but the desertions became more and more frequent. By the time the marching col umn reached the outskirts of London It had dwindled to six persons, and not one reached the presence of the prince regent. (Copyright, 1)11, by Joseph B.

We want to tell you how to set a hen, so that she will hatch big, fluffy, strong peeps. You know that the larger and stronger the peeps when they first come out, the more easily they are raised. Get clean soil from a field, dry it until it will not stick together when you try hard to press it in to a ball. Break up all lumps, same as if you intended to sow tomato seed. Put three or four inches of this clean earth into the box intended for the nest. Lev el off and press down solid, with the least bit of hollow to keep the eggs from rolling away from the hen. Do not make the hol low more than a quarter of an inch deep, or the eggs will pile up in the middle, or fall together too hard when the old hen turns them with her beak. Put about and inch of fine hay or chaff over the earth and place your eggs. In this way the egg3 are furnish ed the conditions necessary to hatch strong chicks something you will have to wait until you are a little older to understand, as its scientific explanation re quires some knowledge of phy sics, as well as some other things with big, long names.
