Poultry fans who have followed the |
phenomenal achievements Of fancy |
pullet belonging to Arthur G. Miles, the
South Main street bird fancier, will learn |
with more than passing regret that the
prize Rhode Island Red turned its toes
to the daisies last night. The same
bird that startled ben-men hereabouts
by laying a 6x9 egg few weeks ago,
contracted a bronchial affection Sunday,
and in spite of every effort on the part
OF the owner, the pullet succumbed. Mr..
Miles, who remarked to-day that he
would much prefer the bird, alive and
well, to a $50 note. took the advice
of a neghboring poultry man and fed
the bird a dose of hot lard as last
resort. Now that the hen is no more,
the owner is ready to believe that the
lard was contributing factor in bring
ing about the feathered ones demise, al
though there are poultry breeders galore
who have used the remedy with a large
measure of success.
