GENIUS OR LABOR?
Men give me some credit for genius.
All the genius I have lies in just this:
When I have a subject in hand, I study
it profoundly. Day and night it is be
fore me. I explore it in all its bearings.
My mind becomes pervaded with it.
Then the effort I make the people are
pleased to call the fruit of genius. It
is the fruit of labor and thought.—
Alexander Hamilton.
It pays to use a good litter on the
brooder house floor. Shavings, cut
straw, peat moss, or any other loose
light material, if free from molt is
satisfactory.

A man had been brought before the
court charged with vagrancy. Firing
a withering glaie at the culprit, the
magistrate thundered: “Have you ever
earned an honest dollar in yur life?"
“Oh, yes, your honor,” the accused
answered meekly, “I voted for you in
the last election.”
