A Little Early for Roast Chicken, But—

Marion I. Adams came very near losing his chicken house by fire one morning last week, caused from a lamp used in a brooder setting fire to the straw in same. There were about fifty small chickens in the brooder at the time_ and all were prostrated from the heat. About two-thirds of them were revived after being taken out but have since been dropping off quite rapidly. Smoke was seen issuing from the building by Mr. Adams when he got up in the morning, but by prompt work only slight damage was done except to the brooder and small chickens.
