The common run of pythons is 10-15 feet, or rather I should say this is about the sized one you find with painful frequency in your chicken-house. Of the Lubuku secret society I can speak with no personal knowledge. My information also went to show what he calls "a dark inference as to its true nature," a nature not universally common by any means to the African tribal secret society.
He wouldn't be nearly so lonely, and to-morrow I'll tell Houpet and the others that they must be very kind to him. Houpet always does what I tell him." "Who is Houpet?" said Hugh. "He's my pet chicken," replied Jeanne. "They're all pets, of course, but he's the most of a pet of all. He lives in the chicken-house with the two other little chickens.
There was a barn for her horse and the one cow she would keep, a neat little chicken-house for the twenty-five hens that would more than supply her with eggs and summer fries, and a small garage for Martin's car.
Over his head were several perches on which sat a number of sleepy fowls. He was in the chicken-house! He grunted in surprise, and at the sound one of the chickens uttered a long, low, warning note that awakened the others. As they moved on their perches, Badgy eyed them, twisting his head from side to side.
If there be anything in evolution, this would seem inevitable; At all events, the chicken-house was upset during the following several days.

Mrs. Shimerda had paid grandfather ten dollars for a milk cow, and was to give him fifteen more as soon as they harvested their first crop.

For laying flocks the nests must be clean, secluded and plentiful. Boxes under the roost-platform will answer, but a better plan is to have the nest upon a shelf along a side wall so arranged as to allow the hen to enter from the rear side. Nests should be constructed so that all parts are accessible to a white-wash brush. The less contrivances in a chicken-house, the better.
"It is a little thing worth knowing," returned Jack. "Never caught a pole-cat, I take it." "I never caught anything," said Bertie. "Seen 'em?" "I don't know that ever I did." "Smelt 'em?" Bertie confessed that he had no acquaintance whatever with the animal, but mentioned that once they found a skunk in Charley's chicken-house sucking eggs, and they killed it. "Him's um," said Jack. "Oh!"
Arnold needed no second bidding, reminded by his stepmother's words of his experiences of the morning. He and Judith scampered away in a suddenly improvised race to see who would reach the chicken-house first.
That evening we all played old sledge round the table, and at one period the game was interrupted by a frightful squawking outside which told us that a bobcat had made a raid on the chicken-house.
