FORTUNES INVESTED IN
FANCY POULTRY
(Continued from Page 5)
other breeder in the country. He
journeyed on to New York with his
choicest specimens and swept the field.
One mi'lit assume from this that fancy
poultry breeding means easy money.
Wrong, very wrong! The conspicuous
successes Hash out from a fog bank of
unfortunate failures. If poultry fanciers
may bo classed with poets, it may be
fcaid that they, too, are born and not
made. In addition to an infinite capacity
for detail, one must have the knack of
mating birds so as to get the right kind i
of offspring, the kind that wins, j
Whether he has this knack or not, nobody
can tell until he tries.
Many people are astonished to learn
that a hen or u cock must bo fitted and
trained for its appearance at a show,
just as a thoroughbred stallion must be
groomed and trained before it is allowed
to prance on the sawdust. Weeks of
preparation are often necessary. In the
caso of light-colored birds, a thorough
washing must be given and all birds i
must bo taught to pose quietly. ,
The washing process in itself is not a ,
simple matter, especially when there is ,
a long string of birds to be tubbed; for .
the operation can hardly bo concluded in '
less than fifteen or twenty minutes for
each specimen.
First, the victim is soaked in water
and thoroughly rubbed over with soap.
Some breeders use a soap solution, while ,
others hold a cake of good white soap
in tho hand. The method does not mat- f
ter, so long as the bird is thoroughly
lathered from comb to toe. When tho
fowls are gentle nnd not too heavy, one
man may work alone, but it is a better
plan to havo an assistant to hold tho
protesting creatures. Some birds seem
determined to get their heads under
water nnd keep them there, as if they !
preferred slow suicide to the ignominy
to which they nre being subjected.
Two or threo times tho fowl is soaped
and rinsed, the Inthcr being worked into
the feathers until it reaches tho skin.
Often tho legs nnd comb aro gono over
with a tooth brush and thoroughly
scrubbed. Special attention is always
paid the head, to which the judge is cer
tain to give careful observation.
When the operator considers that tho
bird has been soused and soaped a
sufficient number of times, it is taken to
the second tub and repeatedly ducked in
order to rinse out every particle of soap.
This is very important, ns otherwise, tho
feathers will stick together and not lay
in plnco well.
Finally, the candidate is dipped into
the bluing water and placed in a cage
to dry. Tho bluing wuter must not bo
too bluo nnd tho material used must be
of good quality, elso tho bird 's feathers
will acquiro a tint not recognized by tho
Btnnuaru 01 reriection.
Special training for n show consists in
placing tho bird in a cngo and keeping
him thero several weeks, talking to him
frequently and often carrying him a
choice morsel from the family table, so
that ho will step expectantly to tho front
of tho cngo when any one approaches,
thus assuming an nttitudo that is calcu
lated to make n favorable impression.
Judging is dono in two ways, by com
parison nnd by score card. The first
method usually is followed at tho Fall
shows, when tho birds are likely to bo
rather ragged as a result of molting,
while the score card is moro generally
used at the mid-winter shows.
Tho judges begin their work ns soon
ns a show is opened nnd aro "speeded
up" by tho breeders, becauso thero is
certain to be a harvest of shekels for tho
winners. When tho awards have been
mnde, tho bargaining begins. Then it is
that tho wealthy fancier, carried away by
tho enthusiasm of tho moment, goes down
into his jenns and pulls out a big wad
of bills to pay the price of a winning
cock. With this bird in his yard, ho
hopes to raise stock which will, in its
turn, command the favor of the judge.
Thousands of dollars change hands and
innumerable orders for eggs for hatching
j at from five to twenty-fivo dollars for
j fifteen are placed.
Make Side Money
by raising poultn Learn liow to make the most
profit by reading Ihe TOTTER SECRET" of
telllne the lay inn hens from the drones.
Worth hundreds of dollars when buying or
culling hens, have the layers and cell drones to

The 1'otter Secret explains how the egg grows;
how nature controls tho laying organs: how to
determine the first stage of egg development: bow
far off the laying period is: how to know the pro
lific layers: when and how to cull: how to tell
when a hen has laid outlier batch of eggs: the
best way to break up the broody state: how eggs
can be produced in winter: the effect of feed,
