A POULTRY NOTE 



dition. Some day when I feel equal to the task I 

 shall try to catch him and weigh him, but I have 

 considerable respect for the wings of a turkey-gob- 

 bler ever since one managed to give me a sideswipe 

 across the bridge of the nose some years ago. He 

 not only knocked off a bias patch of skin, but gave 

 me a couple of black eyes that kept me at home for 

 a week. As the present lord of the barnyard is such 

 a husky specimen I am not anxious to take any 

 chances.
