We have the startling statement made
by Edward Atkinson, the noted statis-
tician, that the product of the hen in
the United States is Of greater value
than all the iron products Of the fur
naces; that it is twice the value of the
wool and three or four times the value
of the products Of the silver mines Ct
the United States.
1t has been stated that the farmers
gold mine was in the soil of his farm
and again, since fertilizing has become
more common, it has been located in the
barnyard in the manure pile but since
proper estimate has been made Of the
value Of the unprecedented chicken it has
been discovered that it is the hen that
lays the golden egg, and that she con-
tinues laying during nearly the whole
year if she has a reasonable amount of
care and is well fed. 1t will be worth
the while Of some farmers whose wives
are sometimes in need Of gold to remem-
Der that they have small gold mine in
their chicken house and that if the
chickens are fed with care they will
scratch out the grains of the yellow
metal so fast as to make it profitable to
pick it up.
