the high price Of cggs-people who
are not chicken fanciers do not know

There is an enormous demand for
the eggs of Indian game chickens at

Graves raises these chickens in large
numbers, and thought he would have
enough eggs this spring to supply all
corners, but there were more of the
latter than he anticipated. For table
use these chickens are superior to
any others. They must have a high
value, judging from the price Of their
eggs. 1t is safe-to say that few peo-
pie in this State feel rich enough to
eat these eggs. Judge Graves has
