Ode
Farmer

The Audubon County Farmer has
fellows in the world VIII eeeeee ar
found that there are always some
fellows in the world who are always
willing to put one wise on new dis
coveries. Somehow or another a
copy of this paper fell, stumbled
or flew into the hands of fellow
down in Central America, and he
sent ME bed sheet, full of infor-
nation about new-fangled chick
EN- they have there that really
makes a man stand up ON soap
box and crow in B. flat. Yes, sir,
the more l study about these new
chickens the wider / want to open
Lena's hen house door to welcome
them. If things keep on getting
so bright for Audubon County as
they have been we can soon put a
fence around her and charge admis-
sion. At any rate Pm going to have
some of those chickens before /
die or explode from spontaneous
combustion of the brain
This chicken, the fellow says, is
just what other chickens amt; it
is most complete. Instead OF having
only comb it has comb and
brush: and walks on one foot The
other foot is used for turning over
the eggs as it lays them in the hot
sand. You see the temperature of
the sand down there gets way up
to the frying point, and all eggs
that are gathered there are ready
for the table without any further
pan performance in front of the
housewife. All you have to do
down there is to go to the hem
yard and pick them up we'll done,
half Drowned or scrambled. The
hens always lay an hour before sun
up. Every Central American who
prefers his egs scrambled has his
hen yard built ON the slope so that
when a chicken lays an egg at the
top it Immediately commences to
roll to the bottom and is scram bled
while bouncing over the hot clods.
No fussin' about late breakfasts
down there and dinners come cas-
Ter too. But one thing must not
be neglected and that's gathering
the eggs on time. No egg must lay
on the sand more than three hours
or it's Matched. The little chicks
are not raw-boned sa they are here
in Audubon County, but already
fried, with nothing missing but the
gravy. They grow up in a fried
state, and what wonders me il
that the sxEs are raw before they
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1912-06-06

are fried, but there are other WON
ders in this world so l won't spend
much time thinking about this one.
II There are people in Audubon
County who might say that these
hens are alright in Central Amer
lea, but wouldn't do us any good
here. Gentlemen, don't be short
sighted, for the Audubon County
Farmers noodle has figured out
bigger problems than this one
say that by introducing these chick
ems in our county, one-half of wo-
mems work will be done, and Lena
swears to this by the horseshoe UNI
der our bread box. The first thing
will do after ! get a family of
these chickens will be to go to
timer who advertises in the Jour-
nal or on some rail fence between
Extra and Audubon and get big
bread pan 6x6 feet, with fence
around it, and have 1t filled with
sand. The pan anu chickens wikl
I be put on the kitchen stove every
evening after suppr, and the proper
amount of wood will be showed In
to make the sand feel like Central
| America on the Fourth of July.
Then we will retire and dream of
Aunt Dina hoeing the cabbage in
| 1882. All will be silence until five
| n
will be such a cackling in the kitch-
en- that you can't pull your socks
on fast enough. This means in hen
language that breakfast is ready
and what pleasure it will be to step
into that kitchen! The coffee that
was placed in the sand the evening
before will have an egg in it and
be settled; the bread that was
placed in the sand will be toasted
and topped off with a poached egg;
the feathered cooks will be trans
fered to the hen house until night,
and life will be one double barrelled
dream dangling on pearl hinges
| What a revelation! Lena will
jump as in her school days and tell
all her friends in Elk Horn, Kim
ballton, Brayton, Hamlin, and other
burgs, and the U. S. papers will be
blowing about it as they never
blew before. The committee that
has charge of all the old sayings
and proverbs will get out it's PEN
Gil and scratch out MANS work
from sun to sun, woman's work is
never DONE" and make it, Mans
work from sun to sun, woman's fun
has just begun, checkers work Is
Aever done"

CUTTING DOWN THE FLESH
Heroic Struggles Of Fat Man Who
Thought the Scales Were
Deceivfng Him.

have about come to the conclusion
that the good Lord intended some OF
his creatures to be fat and some thin,
regardless of medicines and so-called
infallible cures, writes a western
man. For long while / tried all the
alleged obesity cures and none Of
them did me any good. Then l deter
mined to starve myself and take lots
Of exercise.
All my life had been lover Of
good eating, and counted that day
lost on which did not consume for
my dinner the better part of sirloin
steak as thick as darky's foot, with
all the trimmings. For breakfast
usually destroyed a platter of cakes,
three eggs and no end of thin-sliced
bacon, besides fruits and two cups Of
coffee.
This lifelong system I abandoned
for an entire month, cutting out all
