I've heard good deal about the
foolishness of hens but when 1t
comes to right.down, plum foolishness
give me a rooster every time. When
the sun rises you'd think he was
making all the light instead Of all
the noise: when he meets another
rooster. he crows. and when the
other rooster licks him he crows.
But when you hear a hen, she's laid
an egg. and she don't make great
deal of noise about 1t, either.-George
Horace Lorimer.
