done. Well, the hired man made one
an put it on a bux-sum young hen fur
trial, and fur few days it works fine,
and shows the hen wuZ producer and
tailed one every day. Of cuss, that
hen diddent have any show fur she wuz
ctost watched, but after a day r two
the divurshun wears off and the hen is
left to her own resources, so as-ter
speak, an day r two after that it wuz
nuttised that all the chickens on the
farm would get around behind the barn
and take on some noisOme.
Now we immejetly makes investy-
gashun of these things, an it wuz found
that that bux-snm young hen wnz
around thur givln' exhertishuns to the
rest of tie bunch as to what she could
do with the inyenshun. She would lay
egg, an then all the wise OF roosters
would 60 up an look at the score, an
then they'd all take on some fierce.
Then the bux-sum young hen would get
up an, strut round like Ame ican
heriss what has just spIiced up with
some furrin dago count. Yu see she
had 'pinted wise old rooster fur q
manager an she had a good lookin'
young rooster standin' along side of
her what seemed to be her 'finity and
from all appearances this comby-nash-
un BODIED fair to get all the hen feed
thur wuz on the farm; as they wuz TAX
in wums an grain an all kinds of stuff
fur admisshun feez. But this bux-sum
young hen uut-did the biZzy-ness, fur
she gotter workin' over time in order
fur to increase the gate receipts an
wun day she busted blood vessul an
cashed in at the big gate.
wuz some wise 20 the hens even in
those DAYS, an had told this inven-
shuner as how most of the bnx-sum
young hens of all speeshus wuz spesh-
ully perdickted with sportin' pur-clivi-
ties an that he had better put his mon-
ey down ON some of the OF hens what
had got the rough edge wore off an to
copper all them good lookln' young
roosters as long as he wuz in the hen
bizzy-ness to make money an not to
promote soshubulity. But how-sum-
ever, this young hoozhur says as how
he is ekule to the 'murguncy, fur he
says as how he will make severrul ma
chimes and this will do away with the
monopoly bizzy mess. This hoozhur wuz
a regular trust buster.) So he gees to
work an makes doZZen of 'em an
'quips dozen bux-sum young hens
an turns 'em loose. This works all
right, the same as fust, an then after a
few days we al nuttised as how the
chickens was gathurrin' round behind
the barn agin the same as before and
we investy-gates an fines as how the
hens is holdin' turny-ment an they
wuz havin' free-fur-all layih' match
with the hull dozen entered.
Now this little divurshun is some
fine fur the egg crop an the output Of
the egg increases some tree-menjus
Then all of a suddint it stops an on in
vesty -gashuning fines as how all tn,
hens has stopped layin' an gone int!
trainin' fur the Thanksgiving Ds!

is some six months off an so we sool
Figured as how We is goin' ter be con
siddybul looser, SO the hoozhur take
the machines often these hens an
throws 'em inty the coop on bread an,
water and charges 'em with vierlatin,
the anti-race track laws. When this i
done the hoozhur puts the machines on
