stiff that you cannot bend it down, and the 
comb thick and rough, leave her, no matter 
how fat and plump, lor some one less partic¬

of spurs; the scales on the legs are smooth,

may be; the claws tender and short, the

plenty of fine gravel and lime or burned oys¬

weather feed morning mid evening on corn 
or other dry grain. At noon buckwheat
