Show JUST DIGGING It's all right for a hen to keep on digging, but who wants to be a hen? Perhaps that Is why she is still a hen. The editor of "Postage and Mailhag," however says; "Hard work means nothing to a hen. 'She just keeps on digging worms and laying eggs, regardless of what the business prognosticates say alwut the outlook for this or any other year. "If the ground Is hard, she scratches harder. "If It's dry she digs deeper. "If it's wet, she digs where it's 'dry. "If she strikes a rock, she works around It. . "If she gets a few more hours of daylight, she gives us a few more eggs. "But always she digs up worms and turns them into 'hard-shelled profits as well as tender, profitable broilers. "Did you ever see a pessimistic hen? Did you ever:henr of one starving to death waiting for worms to dig themselves them-selves to the surface? -'. "Did you- ever hear one cackle because be-cause work was hard? Not on your life!. They ive their strength for digging dig-ging and their cackles for eggs. Success Suc-cess means digging." : "But sometimes It pays to stop digging." |
