That, first Sunday the pul let didn't lav an egg, but there was a w hopper in her nest next morning, and she continued laying daily until the next Sunday. when, after another heart-breaking tussle witn her scruples, she put her conscience ruthlessly aside, laid the Sabbath egg and has been keeping up the unprecedented perform ance ever since.
