Hen Lays Egg In Buggy While Enroute to Town.

Valparaiso Messenger—John Donahue, who resides a mile and a quarter northwest of town, has a hen that knows enough to lay her eggs where they will be discovered and also ready to haul to market without any handling. Frequently she has laid an egg in the back end of a buggy box and several times she has been found in the buggy as some member of the family was driving to town. The horse and buggy were brought to town, and when they arrived here the hen was discovered in the back end of the buggy box. Upon lifting her out a freshly laid egg was found in the bottom of the buggy. Without a doubt the egg was laid while the vehicle was in motion. No attempt has been made, to educate the hen; she appears to be naturally so progressive that she wants to improve on the old fashioned methods of her species.
