So tfeal he may be able to take profitable advantage f (he proaent bullish tendency of the ork mnrkat, Mr. Skamon will at owe construct a hen ltonc of special design.

Tlio coop will be to tally without windows, and as nwj light proof ai possible, but will be brilliantly lighted with tuntpUti lumps. At oither end o.f tho coop, which will be thirty foot long by tea wide, will bo lights witk crimson globes, so iiita!led that the current may bo turned ou and off lowiy.

With this iini(iic and scientific stijc sotting and a selected floek of hens and roostois as stetorn, Mr. Simmons is confident that an indus trial dnuna will be enacted that will fact poultrjdom a-cnoklc from Pasa dena to Pnwtiieket, and that will lie of vastly more practical value than the host barnyard play ever written -teMf Wl )t-Lf4j &M i$L vt-VMA rttc '& ?r'(c J&o ..
