FROM A NEW ENGLAND HILLSIDE. 157 



things. To-morrow or the next day, the 

 favoured feathered bipeds, Leghorns and 

 Plymouth Rocks, and Light Brahnias 

 and Minorcas, should arrive from the city 

 and take possession of the palatial quarters 

 prepared for them, and if they do not in 

 continently take to laying at once, and lay 

 with energy, they will be most ungrateful 

 creatures. I am sure that any hen with 

 the least aesthetic taste should feel proud 

 to be so raised above the world, and pro 

 vided with all the comforts of a luxurious 

 home. 



JUNE 17, 1894.
