Democratic County Chairman Welsh To Raise Finest Chickens in Co.

Frank Welsh received a setting of very fine eggs from California today. Frank says that they are the finest eggs ever sent to Rensselaer. They are from the English Sussex, which are very large chickens. The capons have been developed until they often weigh as much as twenty-eight pounds. The cockerels weigh on the average 14 pounds and the hens 10 pounds. They are speckled and Frank thinks they are of tne stock from which the first democratic emblem was taken. : = =
