THE best money maker on the
farm is the hen. She turns grass
into greenbacks, grain into gold,
and from sand and gravel coins
silver. There is nothing else on
the farm to compare with her.
The horses and cattle are heavy
consumers, and to get their value
one must part with them, but
not so with her. In her small
way she is a gold mine on the
face of the earth, a mill that
grinds which others overlook
and refuse.
