Chickens a Nuisance"

Chickens a nuisance" declares the
Charleston News and Courier. What,
fried?-Baltimore Sun
Chickens a nuisance? Yes. when
all they leave of your garden is a
Renaissance; yes. when the young
cock, full of the Joy of life, rouses
you in the early dawn; yes. when
some lcw-browed, vulgar fowl whips
the very life out of your blooded pet;
yes, when the pip or other ailment
worries the amateur breeder. But
when fried? Never.
