Some Eggsamples.

If a hen has to set three weeks on a healthy egg to hatch a chicken, how, long will she have to set on a doorknob to hatch a keyhole ?. If a hen can lay an egg in nineteen minutes, how long will it take a ship to “lay two” if she loses no time ? If two unhealthy eggs smell as bad as a slaughter house, how many slaughter houses will it take to equal an old maid’s breath ?—Carl PretteTs Weekly .
