Special CorresDondence 10 the Herald.
At the PlattevilIe poultry show
recently Ora Hatch of this city
bought Eve Rock Island Red chickens
"a hen, two pallets and two ROSTERS.
Ora paid fancy price for them.
because they were of the very best.
The former owner showed them at
the big poultry show at GAINESVILLE
January 10th, and in ring of SO
competitors one of the pullets was
given first prize and the other third.
As the hen is the mother of the pullet
scoring first, and as one of the ROSTERS
tied for first place at the Platteville
show, Ora has reason TO think that he
has a prize package. The first
pulIet scored 90 points and the other
94I at the Evansville show. The
ROSTERS were not shown at Evansville. |
The former owner had chances to sell
them tor more than purchase price,
but Ora intends to keep them and let
his neighbors have some eggs for
setting.
