A potato with an iron handle on it
is the latest invention of nature.
This potato is now on display in the
office of the Chittenden County Farm
Bureau. 1t was grown by Harry Tar
box of West Bolton. A piece of iron
several inches long, with hole in the
top of it, like ring, is the handle of
this potato which has grown solidly
into the hole and out on the other
side and almost grown around the
ring. County Argent E H Loveland
is thinking of cultivating these pota-
toes with handles for select markets.
He thinks they would be in great
demand because they could be easily
pared.

Eddie Duval of Salem-Derby secur-
ed an animal with his rife, which he
has exhibited in Newport, and which
so far has not been identified. At
first sight it appeared to be a fox
and resembled that animal in size,
and had bushy tail like a fox. Its
ears and nose were much shorter
than a fox, its head being more like
a coon. 1t was beautiful specimen
and was in four colors. black, grey,
white and red. Unlike fox, when
being pursued it sought refuge in a
tree which would lead one to think
it was from the coon family. MIR
Duval discovered the animal while
working in his sugar place, and when
followed by his dog it took to maple
tree and sought refuge 40 feet from
the ground. Upon being left, it re-
turned Ito the ground and was again
trailed about two hours when it was
discovered in the top of spruce,
where Mr. Duval shot it. Several
hunters viewed the specimen and
none could solve the mystery.
