This figure is midway between

he had put in a paragraph

he could still perform a great

He said that he had had the
help of nobody in the course of
the composition of the letter
and had come to me because
he didn't know anybody else

I told him that I thought the

needed was a little more assertive-

they felt poppy and complete. The
boss hens had a little more umph

superiority, they became bossy and
aggressive. The hens who were
given shots were more alert, dug
their own worms, hunted their own

BOSSY HENS.

With the continued high cost Of
eggs, poultrymen have been doing
extra scientific research to be sure
that contented hens do lay more
eggs. They discovered that it was
the dominating hens that kept up
their quota and the intimidated
ones that were unable to do their
daily stint.
Every flock has a boss hen. She
is frustrated female who wants to
rule the clan. She is aggressive,
taking the best food, trampling over
her mild sisters in order to do so
and trouncing any male or female
