Show THE LITTLE BROWN HEN We've noticed within the past few years a growing inclination on the part of the residents of Gunnison and surrounding territory to raise poultry, and the reason for it is not hard to explain. Figures made public at the last meeting of the National Poultry Association at Chicago show that the egg industry alone in this country contributed contri-buted more than a billion dollars to the national wealth last year. Production of poultry and eggs has, taken as a whole, come to be a great business, because there is money, in it. No longer does the little brown hen roost on the end of a limb back of the woodshed. wood-shed. Today she has a clean room with plenty of water and food, and she no longer has to depend on the garbage thrown from the kitchen. Her owner knows she pays for her keep many times over during her lifetime and that, when old age creeps on and she is no longer a producers, she is still worth something on the dining table. Don't be a fraid of getting too many chickens around here, for chicken and prosperity have grown to be side-partners. |
