Hens are funny things: They
will always run the wrong way
when trying to escape danger. She
will creep under the barn floor or
under the pigpen to "hide her
nest" and then cackle loud enough
to arouse the vpighborhood. She
I will take up with almost any sort
of a rooster, and she will run to
him when he does a little scratch
ing, and calls for her; , yet she
knows from long experience that
by the time she gets there he will
gobble up everything in sight, and
strut about in a lordly manner.
And then try to stop an - old
"scrub' from setting you may
take the box away and she will set
on the ground. She doesn't care
whether she has eggs under her or
not: potatoes, bolts or an old nest
PJW gourd will "satisfy her. But
the old hen is all right, she is crea
ting quite a stir amongst all class
