Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 38, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 October 1905 — Conceit of the Rooster. [ARTICLE]

Conceit of the Rooster.

Were it not for the disgusting selfconceit of the roosters one might enjoy a poultry show. The rqpster is near to nature’s heart He has not civilization enough to veneer his opinions with common politeness and savior faire, and his disgusting exhibition of the art of being it offends good taste and refinement. How the hen manages to put up with it is certainly one of the mysteries of the coop. If six or eight hens would join a hens’ club modeled after Sorosis and throw the rooster down good and hard once or twice, he would soon discover that he was not the only kernel on the cob.—Minneapolis Journal.
