Philadelphia Chickens.

“The idea that Philadelphia chickens are the best is not a mere fancy,” said a poultry man. “They are really the best. There is something in the soil of the country around Philadelphia that is favorable to the best growth and development of the chicken, just as there is something in other parts of the counry that promotes the highest development of the horse.”—New York Sun.
