One who for her family never provides 



And one w!io is crowing — and never abides 



Wherf others delight their duties to find, 



It would seem plain to the commonest mind, 



That she is a •'woman's rights"' hen ; and gladly would rule. 



The rest of the roost, — and say "what a fool 



Old Chanticleer is, who thinks he can crow. 



Such an awful sight better than we hens can do, 



Just give us a chance, and then you will see, 



That we are somebody ; as much so as he. 



We'll then crow as loudly at midnight and morning 



And of all coming evils, give people fair warning. 



And then a new era, will dawn on our race, 



And the earth again smile, in gladness and peace." 



Thus we stdl might go on, and analogies trace, 



Between Nature's works and our own favored race. 



But your patience e'er this, must well nigh be gone. 



And so you'll be glad to hear— that we're done. 



All of which, as they say, is respectfully submitted, 



Excepting the details, which we have committed 



To the hands of our worthy Secretary, 



Who we trust in due time will make some hearts merry. 



When he shall announce the premiums due, 



To those to whom we've tried to be honest and true. 



We award as follows : 



Entries — Turkeys, 3 ; Geese, 6 ; Ducks, 4 ; other Fowls, 24.
