OH, FEATHERS
The wife of a literary man who had taken up chicken' raising as a side issue, was telling of the poor success she had with a brood of eleven chickens. They seemed to be doing all right for a few days, she said, and then, one after another they all died in the coop.
“vVhat did you feed them on?” asked the wife of a farmer neighbour. “Feed them?” exclaimed the author’s help-mate. “I didn’t feed them; I thought a healthy young pullet like that should have milk enough for her chicks.”
