Samuel Nay stood looking over the green

orchards and pasture lands of Sonoma.
The sun was high AZ it ought to be i'll Peta-

could be seen now and thin when it peep d
through occasional riffs in the thin white
clouds.
In thai landscape there was deal of white
besides the clouds. The comfor able looking
farmhouse, in front OF which Mr. Nay stood,
was conspc uously W hlie in every detail except
the roof, which was red.
You would remember that the roof was red
because. half mile down the road. the man at
the tavern who pointed out the way to Samuel
Nays poultry ranch had designated the place
by the color of The roof.
"YOu see that red roof up thar by the bend
Nall. the first house with a red roof beyond
that one is Nays. 'Taint fur. and it's the

1he picket fence in front of Mr.. Nay was

and black Newfoundland barked as | ap-
| preached the gate, was while. Many hem
roosts beyond the doghouse, some big chicken
| houses on the other side OF the road the
chickens themselves. aud many cottages and
farmhouses that dotted the broad acres and
sloping hills toward which Mr.. Nays eyes were
turned, were also white.
Allowing that white is color, there were
| just TWO predGmnatlng hues in all that broad,
! smiling landscape, white and green. bout
everything that was not white was green.
| There was really bewidering quantity OF
! green on every hand. Even the sweet. scented

an puts hem i'll one of the broOdhouses.
Here they are accommodat with about

Then we went Rack Of the house, over the
brow Of thc hill and saw more chickens, both
old aud young. Most OF them are pure
white, ana auY one who Knew jbe first thua
about chickens would say they were well Kept
aud in splendid condition.
They are all fat and sleek and clean. In
deed, they could not well be otherwise, for the
fresh soil In which they scratch all day long is
Kept scrupulousiy fresh and free from rub

Samuel Nays poultfy-Ianch is certainly a
model institution And when you come TO cor
ner its modest proprietor you will find that the
only improvem enI on it that he has TO Suggest

colonies, ana tue chicks Of each season kept
