Belated Justice to the Hen.
From the New York Evening Post.

Tiom TUG s>cW Iorh Evening POSt.
Hens were brought to this country very
shortly. II at all. after the first settle
ments. and they have been doing their duty
faithfully ever since. But for some I'M
known reason the hens services in the
large remained unappreciated The indi-
vidual farmers wife, OF course might know
that the mortgage had been lifted from
the farm by means of eggs and chickens:
but the American hen was not yet an in
stitution like the American cow or the
American hog. Just when the nations eyes
were opened to the worth of this feathered
benefactress cannot be definitely stated
But something like three years ago. about
the time OF the international egg-laying
contest in Australia, came the full realfza-
ton of the number of times that the harm
less necessary hen has saved the country
From that historic date there has hardly
been a days respite from dithyrambs about
the hen. Every month brings one or more
in the back pages of the magazines; every
day, 1t seems several In the pile of our
exchanges. The Nebraska state board of
assessments has begun to include chickens
In its schedule of taxable property, and
finds them to be worth 81 .040, $40 in IS out
of 80 counties. showing the hens of Ne
braska to be almost exactly as valuable as
the sheep. That will start another deluge
of enthusiasm in other quarters, and we
are only waiting for II to descend. The
statistical bureau of Missouri has recently
made the native hen the subject of spe-
cial bulletin. and sets her total value to
the state. in eggs. dressed chicken and
feathers. at $37. 500. 7O6. 40 for the year 1905.
The reverberations from that discovery
have not yet ceased to resound In short
it is impossible for any person in any To-
cality to mention a hen individually or the
hen generally without a hundred newspaper
editors in as many other places jumping
up to explain what their hens have done.
