Ingenious Manchester Youth Hits on 
Novel Scheme for Feeding 
His Hens. 
Forster Tenney, the 15-year old son 
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Tenney of 
Manchester, has invented a novel scheme 
for feeding his hens,—a scheme which 
many a farmer would be glad to own. 
Forster is taking his first year’s course 
in the Gloucester High school. He has 
to leave Manchester on the 7 o’clock 
train every morning, consequently the 
question of feeding his 40 or more hens, 
which he keeps at the estate of his late

they are expensive to fight if numerous. 
But this is where the young man 
brought the inherent ingenuity and_tact- 
fulness of his worthy ancestor to bear. 
He arranged a very simple scheme. 
With an alarm clock, three small batter- 
ies and a magnet he set up a device that 
lets the corn from its retainer and sends 
it scattering over the ground where his 
pet chicks find it and proceed to break- 
fast. 
‘The alarm is set for about 6 o’clock. 
When the alarm goes off at that hour 
connection is made with batteries which 
loosen the cover to the box containg the 
corn. In order that this will not fall in 
one spot, its fall is broken and causes it 
to scatter around.
