Show PAROWAN HAS THE BOSS EGG STORY. Prodigious Yield of Eggs in Winter Due to Warm Artesian Water. With tho Salt Lake Route calling persistently for fresh eggs, spring chickens, etc., for its dining car service, ser-vice, with price of 'hen fruit" soaring soar-ing around 40 cents the dozen, and with a general scarcity of tho commodity com-modity throughout the country, tho news of tho discovery of two hens' nests containing a total of 160 qgga by Win. II, Guir on his farm out of Parowan, is exceedingly encouraging, encourag-ing, and may offer tho solution of this vexed question. The eggs were found tho first of this week as nbovo stated, on Mr. Gurr'8 farm, tho ranch being deserted a part of tho time. But whllo Mr. Gurr has been paying but little attention at-tention to his farm during tho winter months tho nsalduous little hen has boon going right along with her business, busi-ness, and laying up a store of golden wealth that is tho onvy of all tho country round. If Mr. Gurr had a moitgagc on his farm it would not take the hen long at this rate to lift it. It is the theory that this unusual egg yield Is duo to tho abundance of temperate tem-perate artesian water to which tho hons have access, and tho general fertility and productivity of tho Parowan Paro-wan valley. This being the case tho Salt LrUo Route oughtn't to call in vain very long for fresh eggs and spring chickens.. All that Is needed is more barn1 and moro hens on tho artosiun fannsiof Parowan, and tho egg and chickdn question so far as Southern Utah! is concerned will bo effectually sotted, |
