The Great and Modest Hen.

TIE maiden speech OF Repre-
sentative Dawson of Iowa was
devoted to praise OF the ''Help-
full Hen. In a talk on the agri-
cultural he said:
"Poets may sing OF the glory
OF their eagle and artists may
paint the beauties OF birds Of
plumage, but the modest Ameri-
can hen is entitled to a tribute
for her industry, ner usefulness,
and her productivity. The Amer
lean hen can produce wealth
equal to buythe capital stocks OF
all the banks of theNewYOrk clear
ing house in three months and
have a week to spare. In less
than sixty days she can equal
the total annual production OF
all the gold mines OF the United
States.
The United States proudly
boasts of it's enormous produc-
ton of pig iron, by far the great
est of all countries in the world,
aud yet the American hen pro-
duces as much in six months as
all the iron mines OF this country
produce in a year. In one year
and ten months she could pay off
the interest bearing debt OF the
United States.'
