a clucking hen eats far more food

sons will pay higher price for cluck-

The reason why a clucking hen IN bet-

the hen knows she has long siege OF
three weeks when she must sit on her
eggs and cannot get either exercise or
very much food. And having been made
by nature to know this. the hen care
fully prepares for the siege by putting
herself in the very best Of physical con-
