OF q few hundred million dozen eggs In q
debate like this? Laughter.
have been trying TO figure II out how
the New England hen did so much better
than the southern hen. understand they
have got patent hen nest in which they
deceive the hen into laying great many
more eggs. Laughter. You have heard
OF the patent hen nest where, after the hen
has laid an egg, they have the nest so ar
ranged that the egg slips out OF sight, and
the hen gets up, looks round, and not see
ing any egg goes back and lays another.
Laughter and applause That is the only
way in which ! can figure out that the
New England hen does 30 much better
than the southern hen. But / will tell
you about our southern COWS and our
southern hens. that the eggs they do lay
and tho milk they do give are genuine
eggs and milk. Laughter and applause.
