A TALE UNFOLDED FROM THE TAIL OF A HORSE NAMED PRINCE
Hi
The persistent prevniliwr prie of j
00 opta per ooiwii for ircsii w.
vHli no sign of dtssline, i ;he urtw
of nn fttipimlkm by Ui working out
ot which Kd Sinwnout, h local pool-
tryman, in crthi h win inetrftw
l)io officieney of late hen at leu.-' '200
por (.out and, k a mnjter of cur-.
fatten liis bunk HoeoHnt npprceiablv.
Liko ovury one who ha nod mry ev
porianoe with chickens, from tlu wn
lont Poter down to Kdmnnti Rostand,
Jfr; Simmons bus observed th.it t
' -rtfnslers nw t daybreak, d thtrt I
tho cmnoit call or. cnnntieiw is tiw
signal for the lien to be about thwr
hwily blighted. 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.
Ronliam; that the njro of electricity!
is nt hand, Mr. SimntoHS propose jt
be n pioneer in the iniuiirMtion of
the. now order. 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. By
tt, careful inanipulatioii of the .witea
.uOard n miniature iiuric nwy lie
prodneod at the cast end of tho eoop,
or a roeonte sninee! may bo mad te
fill tho wmtvrii extremity, there io
grnduuyy fade into total darknem.
The coop will bo fitted along both
walk) ' with trap nests, ench with a
small door opeiHH; on the onteide, '
that the four-bit enekle-lHirriw may
bo gathered without entering the
coop.
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

Vi'hat may be more oggsactly termed,

seleeted will be those which have dis
tinguished thoiasolvos as invariable
adherents of the good old rule -)t
"earlv to bed and early to rise," n.
the part that thuy will ploy in set
ting a good example to the bun in
the matter of "arihing and retiring
will be no less imortnnt than the ex
pected prolific jierfonnance of the
licnR themselves.
Having allowed the fowl a short
Mr. Simmons will feed bin forty
three feathered nets through a sys-
trioallv-prepared omnimnnd on which
he has already applied for a patent,
and which he may later put on the
market as a breakfast food, with the
eijxJotation that it will pat YnatV

order. When the chickens have eaten
a stipulated amount thuy will be al
lowed to bcrntch around for a speci
fied time, at the expiration of which
the tungsten lights will be turned
out one by one and the crimson globe
at the western end of the coop will
be turned on in full splendor, it

lords and waiter, the forty oHich

wrapped in slumber.
The ohiokoiitl a ill Iw allowed lo

the sunrise lifht at the oast end of
the coop will be slowly switched on.
A iU rosy effulgence increase the
roosters, oheemng uumisnikablo

butions to the high cost of living.
The entire program ivill lio repent
ed is often in the course, of the twen

Simmons will start operations on n
schedule of nn eight-hour shift to nn

Tho chickens that will he employed
in tho projeot are nil pure, sturdy
American stock, such as Plymonlh
Hooka mid Hhode Island Iteds. No
fancy foreign straiiiN will be given u
try-out in the layout, Mr. Simmons
is satisfied that they could not stand
the strain. Knrlhcnnoiv, he believe
that American chickens, like 'the
American pchplc, relish being fooled,
nud, liko the immortal show mini who
coined tho fatuous epigram, ho will
proceed to transmute credulity into

A number of interesting expert-
