Show THE POULTRYMAN'S REPLY. (Inadvertantly a section of "The Poultryan's Reply" was omitted in last week's issue. The effort is ol such richness and originality, and interest in-terest to our local poultrymcn that wc reprint it in full). "My name is August Vogclcr; and From Gcrtnany I came. And I can lick the fellow who called mc a Dane, I dink I like Amcriky; and I raise Minorcas don't you sec, And it is dead easy to skin the socks off Haskim and tag him "23." Prizes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, when wanted will be mine. Six is Haslam's capacity, and to win it he'd1 think fine. The Plum in Orpingtons went to Dr. Whiskers don't you sec; Batchler came in second while poor Von Elm was up a tree. Orson Hewlett lost his temper, and his ribbons blue, While "Foxy Smithy" protested and had them changed and Orson said, "I'll skiddoo." The Rcdmcn are a hard bunch of kickers, and I hardly know what to do; Guess we'll send them back to .the reservation to keep them in line; For. with the savage tribe they certainly cer-tainly will shine. Spiers smiles, he won easy. Seddon came in two, But there was no day light for him of 7th Avenue. Strickley and Geo. Contain are handsome hand-some men and true; but it takes old Dan Duncan to win the ribbons blue. Sander of the pencil fame Cartwright with insurance that is fine. Bctts says the ribbons for Wyan- dottes with Beefy combs are mine. Geo Scharmann with his uniform on dress parade we see; lie rung the bell on Orson and then said, "O, Hell, Hewlett it wasn't me. A Cook is a handy man, A Plummer, he comes high, A Parson is sanctimonious, . t s While Hagman, he is fly. Solomon has the wisdom, because lie makes the dough; Frank Hides in Kaysvillc, because he was afraid to show. Springer won, so says "Och Louie, Dat Vas fine." Poor Vadncr lost, so he seeks comfort com-fort in a good old German Stein. Now the show is over and jealous rivalry gone by, Let us all work shoulder to shoulder and "Improvement" be our battle cry. When the hen begins to cackle And the rooster sings to cheer; Let the past be forgotten and get . kusy Raising prize-winners for next year." n . . 1 |
