A INDUSTRIOUS IOWA GOOSE
Fowl Weighing IA Pounds VIII Be
Shown at st. Louis-Egg Makes
Fourteen Custard Pies.

Harry Pinkham, q Nevada Qa-) horse
man, owns q Toulouse goose which is
a monstrosity, and which has attracted
a great deal Of attention on account Of
its great size. The goose weighs IA
pounds, stands over two feet high, and
lays an egg as large around as an or
binary carafe. The fowl has been ex-
hibited by Mr.. Pinkham at several Of
the live stock shows, and has always at
tracted attention. Il Is the intention Of
Mr.. Pinkham to take the goose to the
St Louis exposition and have It exhib-
tied with the great poultry exhibit to be
arranged during the summer.
The weight Of this goose was so great
that the web feet became crippled. and
in order that the fowl might easily walk
over the frozen ground this winter Mr..
Pinkham had made fOr-it pair Of rub
Der shoes which had been made to &c
exactly upon the two web feet, and with
this artificial aid the goose gets about
on the fee and the hard ground quite
well With one Of the eggs which the
goose recently laid a Nevada boarding
house keeper made fourteen custzrd
pies.
