THE CALL OF THE HEN. 



Figure 34. Most Perfect Pelvic Bones "C. C." 



especially looking after the Male Birds as one m&le bird with 

 crooked Pelvic Bones will transmit this defect to all of his 

 daughters. 



When I came to Petaluma 1 found whole flocks of thous- 

 ands of hens with crooked bones, now they are very rare. The 

 poultry breeders soon caught on to my Straight and Thin Pel- 

 vic Bone idea, and I think the Society for the Prevention of 

 Cruelty to Animals should recognize my service in relieving 

 millions of hens of the agony of parturition. 



The reader will please bear in mind that Fig. 34 represents 

 100 per cent Pelvic Bone, and holds the same relation to Pelvic 

 Bones in general that a bird that scores 100 in the show room 

 holds to all other high class birds. 



A 250 egg type cock bird or cockerel with Pelvic Bones 

 like cut 34 would be of inestimable value. The writer has cock 

 birds like the above that he would not part with for any money, 

 for the reason that it would take several years breeding to 

 produce their equals.
