STARTING IN THE BUSINESS 



high scoring birds are sold for high prices. There is always a 

 good demand for breeding birds. All pullets that can be raised 

 will bring extra good prices if sold as layers. 



The S. C. White Leghorns, are coming to the front fast; 

 they are active, fine layers, very hardy, mature early and always 

 present an attractive appearance. 



A. 17. White Wyandottes. 



A. 18. Because I think they are the best all purpose 

 fowl before the public today. As table fowl they are not ex- 

 celled by any other variety. For hardiness they stand the test 

 in both hot and cold weather. As prolific layers, they are in 

 a class by themselves.

WHITE WYANDOTTE SPECIALIST 



A. 9. Fowls. 



A. 10. Because eggs are so uncertain and when you buy 

 fowls you know just what you are getting. 



A. 11. By placing White Wyandotte males with his 

 flock thereby infusing new blood year by year, building up his 

 flock, enabling him to have more and better poultry. 



A. 12. Buy a lot of graded utility White Wyandotte 

 females and buy several high grade males to mate with them, 

 and as soon as this is begun he must commence to advertise. 



A. 13. Go to some reliable breeder who has plenty of 

 good birds for sale, and pay him the price. He will tell you 

 how to mate for best results. But before doing this make up 

 your mind as to what breed would be most satisfactory, and

study their habits. Let the public know what you have, through 

 the poultry journals. Be honest and upright in your dealings 

 and success will be your reward. 



A. 14. Buy a tiio of good birds as cheap as you can get 

 them, and study their quaUties. Insert a classified advertise- 

 ment in a poultry paper after one year's expeiienee. As your 

 business grows let your advertising grow also. If you have a 

 poultry show nearby, show your birds. Nothing will teach you 

 the fine points of an exhibition bird as experience in the show 

 room will. •

A. 9. I would buy the fowls by all means. 



A. 10. In buying eggs we take many chances of getting 

 poor results, as many things can keep eggs from hatching. I 

 would buy of an honest breeder, who could be trusted and who 

 by his show record had proven the quality of his breed, and have 

 him select and mate up for me each bird in Une the very same 

 as he would breed them himself. 



A. 11. Simply to improve common stock for the market, 

 my advice to the farmer or poultryman is to get good, large, 

 strong, well bred males each year, improving and bringing the 

 stock up to the desired qualities. 



A. 12. To breed fancy poultry as well as market stock, 

 my advice would be to get a pen of some American variety, 

 and buy the very best Hne-bred blood to be had, urging the 

 breeder to use his best judgment in selecting and mating them 

 the same as for himself. All the choice specimens raised can be' 

 sold fca- fancy breeding or exhibition, while the culls can be 

 readily sold on the market. No matter how fine the quality 

 may be, there will be many unfit for anything but the market. 

 With the best a fine strain can soon be built up, getting the 

 cream of the fancy as well as market business. 



A. 13. Buy the very best line-bred blood to be had from 

 a breeder that will select and mate them in Hne, just as the 

 birds were bred. Don't buy too many birds, no matter how 

 much cash you may have, for first you must go slow, and pre- 

 pare yourself to handle the stock. Jumping in the poultry 

 business, with plenty of cash and no experience, is the cause of 

 many failures. 



A. 14. If I had but Uttle money, the larger part of it 

 would go toward bu5dng the very best hne-bred blood to be had 

 and a good cheap, comfortable home for the birds. Then, in- 

 stead of buying quantity, get quality every time, as a choice 

 trio of birds at $25. to 850. is far better than a score of poor 

 birds at the same price. 



A. 15. With ample funds, go slow and buy the very 

 best. Employ men of experience and study the work night and 

 day. Go slow and watch and study as you go, and success 

 will crown your efforts. 



A. 16. Buy the best if only a very few, and try to build 

 a foundation with the best blood, then study the work, and 

 enlarge the business as the means and experience will justify. 

 No matter how much or how little cash we may have, all depends 

 on our experience and knowledge of the business, just as in all 

 other ■ work. No one could jump into any business without 

 experience and ever hope to make a success. All large industries 

 have been built up slowly and have had men of experience at 

 the hdm.
