Show Educated Rooster. "Spizzerlnktum" Is an odd. name even for a rooster, but this rooster is ! no ordinary fowl. The bird comes from a strain of Barred Plymouth Rocks, was hatched last May and weighs six pounds. He Is owned by E. E. Bennett of Hartford City, who refuses to part with his prize-winner at any price. Judges at various fairs where he has been shown, have told the owner that he Is a most promising bird, and this Is borne out by the fact that $100 has been offered for him. "Spizzerlnktum" is also an educated fowl. One of his chief delights is riding rid-ing the seat of a specially constructed wagon and holding the reins over eight boys who act as steeds for him. He drove this team in the centennial parade pa-rade at Hartford City. Indianapolis News. |
