He's Not a GhicKen Fancier.

Speaking of chickens a funny man writing in Puck says: “They are the most dadbusted, uncertalnest creatures that walk the family acre. Almost everybody tries to raise chickens at one time or another. Looks easy—that’s the deceiving part of it “And it is easy after you learn one thing. Little chickens don’t know anything, medium sized .chickens don’t know anything, large sized chickens don’t know anything. If there is any change of an intellectual nature as the size increases the big ones know less if possible than the little ones. “If there is a wire partition in your pen with an open door at one end the chickens will try to plunge through the wire instead of going around and walking through the door.”
