"A LITTLE JOURNEY 



Stylf "/?" Poultry House 



"What constitutes a successful poultry house? I should say one that 

 keeps the birds in perfect comfort and health, and enables them to produce 

 the largest yield of eggs. Of course you don't get eggs from poultry houses 

 but if you take the same identical birds and put them in one house and then 

 change them to another, there may be a decided difference in the egg yield, 

 just because of the conditions provided by the "fowl" dwelling. 



"I am certain that a light and airy house will encourage egg laying and 

 that a dark, stuffy house absolutely will not. The three big factors in egg 

 production are: 



1 food 



2 light 



3 air 



IDEAL FANCIER'S STOCK 



Unquestionably, "Famous" Anconas are becoming the ideal fancier's 

 stock; they are in great favor! The contrast of black and white in their 

 plumage, the beautiful dappled effect, results in a wonderful handsome 

 bird. They are alert and striking in carriage, as well as very graceful. 

 Such striking appearance do they present that they seem always to be on 

 dress parade. Unlike some birds they do not require washing before 

 you can show them. You will certainly appreciate this point if you have 

 ever gone to the trouble of washing birds before sending them to the show.
