WOODEN LEGGED HEN
PROVES GOOD CITIZEN

WINSTED. Conn. Sept. ia fine
biump Plymouth Rock hen lives and
thriVes here although she has a wood
en- leg. Lewis Ives. employed by the
Gilbert Clock Company. owns the hen,
and proudly displays her in his back
yard on North Main street.
When the Plymouth Rock was q
month old, rat gnawed OF one of her
legs. AIr. Ives wished to save the hand
some bird. which promised to be a prize
winner. so he made a wooden leg for
her. OF course. as she grew he had
to make longer and longer wooden legs
Tor her: but today the hens attitude Is
Tot stiIted in the least. She stands on
her wooden leg and scratches for food
with her good leg with double vigor
When she roosts she wears her wooden
leg. Of course. She lays eggs indus
triously, and her chicks have two legs.
This proves that kind nature takes

meat Of chickens" said Mr.. Ives CRATE

A Big Potato.
From the Thomasville Press.

Editor Press:
I send you an Irish Potato that
I raised in my garden. 1t weighed
when dug 16 ounces q lb). 1t is
one of the largest Irish potatoes l
ever saw. Iplanted small patch
in my garden, about one twentieth
part of an acre, from which I got
10 bushels Of potatoes. That
would be at the rate of 200 bush
els per acre for one crop. am now
planting second crop. If that
turns out as well as the first it
will make per acre 400 bushels in
one year. Potatoes are selling at
So cents a peck. At that price,
one acre would be worth $140. CO..
That looks like there is something
in this poor sandy country. To
get it out, we must have plenty of
good intelligent work.
Respectfully,
