The following is a never failing recipe for keeping your neighbor's chickens out of your garden: Take a lot of stiff cards, about Ix 2 inches and write on them, “Please keep your Chickens.” Tie a string to each card. with, a grain of corn at the other end of the string, and scatter them where the hens congregate. When the hungry biddy gobbles up the grain that draws the prize, she follows up the string stowing it away until she comes to the card. Then you will see her pull out for home carrying in her mouth your polite request.
