STARTING A HENNERY, 
A story of close management is told about a Yankee who 
had lately settled down in the West. He went to a neigh- 
bor and thus accosted him: ‘Wal, I reckon you hain’t got 
no old hen nor nothin’ you’d lend me for a few weeks, have 
you, neighbor?” ‘TI will lend you one with pleasure,’ re- 
plied the gentleman, picking out the finest one in the coop. 
The Yankee took the hen home, and then went to another 
neighbor and borrowed a dozen eggs. He then set the hen, 
and in due course of time she hatched out a dozen chickens. 
The Yankee was again puzzled; he could return the hen, 
but how was he to return the eggs? Another idea. He 
would keep the hen until she laid a dozen eggs. This he did, 
and then returned the hen and eggs to’ their respective 
owners, remarking, as he did so: ‘‘ Wal, I reckon I’ve got 
as fine a dozen of chickens as you ever laid your eyes on, and 
they didn’t cost me a cent, nuther.”’

fe@s~ Oregon has resolved to protect by law the game 
remaining in its valleys. For years past it has been the 
custom to make extensive raids upon the elk, moose, and 
deer, to get their skins, the bodies being left on the ground. 
An Act of the Legislature makes it unlawful to kill or offer 
for sale, any deer, moose, or elk, during the months of Feb- 
ruary, March, April, May, and June, and making it unlaw- 
ful to take or kill, at any time, elk or deer, for the sole pur- 
pose of obtaining their horns and skins.
