MINDLESS Chickens the Latest.

Chicken wings will disappear from

chickens raised by w 4. Bertram OF
Illinois become common. He has found
that wings decrease the value or chick
ems in cities and towns by making
their confinement in yards more diff
cult. He conceived the idea or cross
ing common breeds with the Wyan-
dottes and Barred Rocks. whose wings
are smaller in proportion TO their
weight than those Of other chickens.
After several seasons he has produced
a fowl which has only few PIN
feathers where nature meant wings TO
he and which cannot jump fence

Ter. Mr.. Bertram says. TO fatten chick
ems which do not reduce their weight

compensate by putting more flesh on
drumsticks and wishbones for the uli-
mate atrophy and disappearance OF the
wings. -Science Siftings.
