MANY pouLrRY ENTHUSIASTS.

Bethel chicken fanciers have neither
got the war or, gold fever very severe.
But it does "beat the dickens" how they
have got the chicken fever. Old brood
hens are in great demand, and some are
wiling to pay almost fabulous price
for setting hen to hatch eggs for early
chicks which are expected to take the
prizes next fall at the poultry shows.
George Harmon, who has lately moved
up on TO Elm street among the chicken
tanciers, although an amateur at the
chicken business, has had pretty good
luck, bringing out some fine Plymouth
Rock chicks which he expects will get
there next fall in time to take some of
the high prizes. Clarence Hickok, an
other amateur chicken breeder, has been
hunting high and low, the past week, for
a brood hen to bring out some Of bis
high priced golden Wyandotte chicks
Bailey & Stone, old vets at the business
are also in on the race with their never
beaten white Wyandotte chicks. Nc
doubt their birds will crow for them
| selves next fall.
