NOT AN EASY TASK.
Attem pt of Rochester Man to Pick Up
1000 Hens in Thirty Days.

Rochester, May I'm a state where
SO much poultry is raised, it is natural
TO suppose that the accumulation of
l,G23 he's il tairty days would be a
comparatively easy task. 50 thought L.
Morris of this city. In his ignorance he
laid a wager with Il friend that he could
pick up any quantity of hens for the
local market. The friend, realizing that
this is the busy season for hens, accept
ed the wager and named 1000 as the
number, and thirty days as the time for
the collection of the birds. If only 900
are collected Mr.. Morris loses.
He also is beginning to realize that
this is the busy season for biddies. Some
already are scratching for new family;
others are so struck on laying that even
strike order couldn't drive them from
their nests; still others are determined
''to set" and there you are.
So. Mr. Morris realizes that his task
to furnish within the specified time 1000
hens sound in wind and limb is not 90
ing to be an easy task.
But he is not the man to ''lay down."
His agents are securing the country on
a lookout for old hens. Never before did
hens seem so valuable and scarce. Mr..
Morris never sees an egg nowadays that
he does not regret that he did not get
hold of it six months ago and now have
it on its way to old hendom.
He does not fear the loss of the
money involved in the wager, but his
reputation of living up to his
agreements is at stake, and SO his ennis
saries are going up and down through
the land crying for Mr.. Morris, 1000
hens in thirty days"
