Here is the champion yarn yet, although told by one of our citizens who is perfectly able to tell the truth on special occasions. He was plowing a field last week when the plow turn up an elderly and respectable hen out of the furrow. Then, instead remaining in a passive and quiet state, as a dead hen should, she got up and though a bit unsteady in the legs began picking around for something to fill up the vacuum under her feathers. Now this man swears he plowed that hen under last fall. - Newark Valley Herald. Bill Grummons [email protected]
