NEW FARMER

    Doug, a lifelong city dweller grew tired of the rat race.  He
decided he was going to give up the city life, move to the country,
and become a chicken farmer. He found a nice, used chicken farm, 
which he bought.
    It turned out that his next door neighbor, Chester, was also a
chicken farmer.  Chester came for a visit one day and told him,
"Chicken farming isn't easy. Tell you what. To help you get started,
I'll give you 100 chickens."  Doug was thrilled.
    Two weeks later Chester stopped by to see how things were going.
Doug said, "Not too good. All 100 chickens died."
    Chester said, "I can't believe that. I've never had any trouble
with these chickens... I'll give you 100 more."
    Another two weeks went by and Chester stopped by again. Doug told
him, "You're not going to believe this, but the second 100 chickens
died too."
    Astounded, Chester asked, "What did you do to them?  What went
wrong?"
    Chuck shook his head, "I'm not sure. But I think I'm not planting
them far enough apart."
