40 PARADISE VALLEY POULTRY RANCH 



The wings are comparatively short, well-folded, ending considerably in 

 front of and resting on the tail. The front of the wing (wing butt) is em- 

 bedded in the plumage of the breast. Covering the fronts of the wings 

 with the breast feathers obliterates that racy frontal appearance seen on 

 all varieties of Homers. The records of the White Kings are not made 

 in the air. 



Exceptionally large or small specimens are undesirable. Exhibition 

 White Kings should weigh between eighteen and twenty-two ounces for 

 hens and twenty-two and twenty-six ounces for cocks. It is unwise to 

 breed from cocks or hens considerably over or under these weights. 



That the standard of the White King as adopted by the American 

 White King Association pleases not simply the lover of the beautiful in 

 pigeons, but the practical, money-making squab producer who ships extra 

 select squabs to a fancy trade, it is only necessary to refer to the unpre- 

 cedented growth of the White King in popularity. It has completely sub- 

 stantiated its right of recognition as a handsome show pigeon for the 

 fancier, and as a rapid producer of pound, plump-breasted, white- 

 fleshed squabs in the lofts of those who have investigated its claims. It is 

 a breed of deeds, not of words, a breed which typifies the American standard 

 of industry, a beloved king among pigeons, a White King whose kingdom 

 is ever increasing.
