Champion Hen to Defend Her Honor

ANNOUNCEMENT having been made that the world’s egg laying contest is to be held at Chicago’s exposition this year, America’s most famous hen and champion egg layer for the past two years is now in training for the event. Owned by George England of Inglewood, Calif., the hen, known only by number as “33,” holds the record of 330 eggs per year. A white leghorn, she has a score of cups to her credit and enough blue ribbons to cover the roof of her hen house. She will defend her title against hens from every state in the Union and six foreign nations.
