 A gentleman of Prescott who is an admirer of good horses, fine dogs and blooded animals and fowls gen orally decided to embark in the chicken breeding business. Nothing would suit his fancy however but the gamiest games that he could find. He accordingly arranged with breeder of this species of fowl for a setting of thoroughbred eggs. The game fancier resides in the country and promised his Prescott friend setting the first time he came to town. Accordingly on his next visit he turned over thirteen nice looking eggs, carefully packed to his patron, and the latter carefully set them under an ambitious hen. After the hon had set on the eggs for five weeks without producing any re- suits the new facier concluded to in- vestigate and on doing so made the discovery that he had set thirteen hard boiled eggs. The eggs in ques- tion were supposed to be choice Scotch game eggs and were sold for $500.
