Speaking about eggs, we believe
Wichita county can show up more
hen fruit on Saturdays than any short
grass county in the state. Last Sat
urday the city meat market took in
several hundred dozen in trade, and
yet some people wonder what makes
hens lay. This brings to mind the
fact that not only the climate is in

in anxiety as to which of her sisters
will try to crowd her off the highest

roost erected for her. and her slum-

to how she will return to earth at the
of day, but simply goes to
work at an early hour making money
for her owner. She is an industrious
hen. and, like the Kansas COW, does
