One of the most interesting places in Calistoga to visit is the poultry farm of John MacFarling in the western addition of town. Here Mr. MacFarling has all kinds of chickens, and of the finest and most expensive breeds, all separate in their several apartments. Quite a number, in fact, are prize winners, and have taken premiums at Oakland and other fairs. It takes a great deal of care and attention to keep these fowls looking as sleek as they do, and the owner feels very proud of them and well he might.
