Sir Walter SCOTS famous poem.
"The Lay Of The Last Minstrel" is
not In Il with Urcle Sans ley OF the
hen.
This is Leap Year and all concern
ed ladies are spring chickens.
Hens and women like to feather
their nests. This probably accounts
for the feminine fondness for feath-
ers.
Probably the highest grade In local
chicken stocking up is found in the
Leghorn.
The duck IS no stranger in either
poultry or amatory Amarillo circles,
being a very dear duck in the open
market while local love letters often
begin with the variations o. My

Although her eggs are blue. The
duck is a cheerful fowl and never
croaks unless she is interviewed by
the AK.
Green headed brakes claim Irish
descent and quack their loudest on
ST. Pairick's Day-other loud quacks
being more or less doctored.
The goose has a broad and strong
tail, which, doubtless. accounts for
the enduring popularity of The
Mother Goose Tales to which can
be added the fact that white the
goose has down on her body, she Is
never down In market price.
The turkey hides out her eggs, be-
cause she is ashamed OF their many
freokles-whife Italy is a present
marked failure as a Turkey gobbler.
