From the Kansas board of Aericrdtare
Report.
We have read of Maud on a summer day.

We have read of the maid in tne early
morn, J
Who milked the cow with the crumpled
horn, 1
And we've read the lays that the poets

The Kansas hen has begun to lay,
And ere the milkmaid' stirs a peg,
The hen is up and has: dropped her egg;
The corn must rustle and flowers spring
If they hold their, own with the barn

If Maud is needing: a hat and gown
She doesn't hustle her' hay to town,
But goes to the store i and obtains her

With a basketful of her fresh hen fruit ;
If the milkmaid's beau makes a Sunday

She doesn't feed him on milk at all.
But works up ozsb in a custard Die
And etuflfs him full of a chicken fry.
And when the old man wants a horn,
Does he take the druggist a load of
corn ?
Not much ! He simply
And to town he goes you know the

He hangs around with

And:talks of politics and things,
While hiss poor wife stays at home and

She watches the cackling hens with
