An Editorial

If it's dry, she digs deeper.

If it's wet, she digs where it's dry.

If she strikes a rock, she works around it.

If she gets a few more hours of daylight, she lays a few more eggs.

But always she digs up worms and turns them into hardshell profits, as well as tender broilers.

Did you ever see a pessimistic hen? Did you ever hear of one starving to death while she waited for the worms to come to the surface ?

Did you ever hear one cackle because the work was hard?

Not on your life ! They save their breath for digging, and their cackles for eggs.

Success means digging.
