Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"White Leghorns," said Mrs. Mortimer. "You have no idea what they
netted me this year. I never keep a hen a moment past the prime
of her laying period--"


"Just what I was tellin' you, Saxon, about horses," Billy broke
in.


"And by the simplest method of hatching them at the right time,
which not one farmer in ten thousand ever dreams of doing, I have
them laying in the winter when most hens stop laying and when
eggs are highest. Another thing: I have my special customers.
They pay me ten cents a dozen more than the market price, because
my specialty is one-day eggs."
