AMONG ANCONAS" 



55 



Here's a Poultry Training Camp 



I am showing here a picture of what I call my "Poultry Training Camp". 



This shows one end of the building. It is heated by natural gas and lighted 

 by electricity. Here in sturdy individual wire barracks with wooden frames, 

 my birds receive their training for the shows. Here the prize winners you 

 order get their setting up exercises so that they won't get bashful and ashamed 

 when on exhibit although I have never seen a shy and retiring Ancona! 



When you receive a bird with which you expect to go up against fierce 

 competition at shows, it is fairly well broken to the game not fearful and 

 wild in a small coop and it knows how to behave itself in limited quarters 

 so that it will make you proud of Anconas. 



Top of next page I am showing section of one of my Incubator cellars. 

 I am simply showing you this so that you can see to what extent the breed- 

 ing of Anconas may be carried. There is unlimited opportunity for scores 

 of large operators in this one field. 



In the incubator cellars one of which is shown just above, I operate 

 both small and large incubators running from 250 to 20,000 capacity. There 

 are a great many good incubators and I believe that all standard makes 

 do excellent work.
