Andrew Marlnee, New Springfield, Ohio: Anconas are a delight to all who possess 

 them. My three-year-old Ancona hens are laying like pullets. 



Arthur Peters, Colborne, Ontario: I want a beautiful medium size fowl that will take 

 less coop room and eat less, and lay more eggs than other fowls, — and I have this in my 

 Anconas. 



Charles R. Beardsley, Sidney Center, N. Y.: I find Anconas the best layers I ever 

 kept, and want no other breed. 



J. H. Van Dever, Tiffin, Ohio: When one of my neighbors discovered in midwinter 

 that my Anconas were laying better than any other chickens in the community, he sold 

 his fowls and bought Anconas. Anconas are their own best advertisement. 



Mrs. Daisy Rose, Bois D'Arc, Mo.: My forty-seven Ancona pullets, during March 

 and April laid an average of 252 eggs per week. Anconas gain in favor wherever introduced. 



Otis G. Loomis, Mauston, Wisconsin: My several years of poultry breeding has con- 

 vinced me that Anconas beat all other breeds. 



O. P. Stames, Cowichan Sta., B. C: February i8th I set twenty-two Ancona eggs 

 under Plymouth Rock hens and had a one hundred per cent, hatch. 



J. A. Biehler, Strasburg, Illinois; I have been in the chicken business for years and 

 have found none as good as Anconas. They lay more eggs and eat one-third less than any 

 other breeds. 



Samuel G. Seeger, 1725 N. 8th St., Philadelphia, Pa.: I have quit two other breeds, 

 as I have found Anconas much better egg producers, and cost less to feed than any other 

 breed. 



James L. Hendry, Louisville, Ky.: Anconas are the fowls of merit, and are going to 

 the top like a cork in water. 



William Meginnis, Baltimore, Md.: I consider Anconas a grand fowl, and do not 

 think their good qualities are at thoroughly appreciated by our more highly cultured fanci- 

 ers as they should be. Still they are rapidly gaining ground in the hearts of the larger 

 breeders, and I look for them to rank among the foremost birds. 



J. W. Stewart, Big Rapids Michigan: I have had several good breeds of chickens, but 

 the Anconas beat them all when it comes to producing eggs. 



H. R. Yokom, Mapleton, S. Dakota: The Ancona hen can't be beaten when it comes 

 to laying. 



Mrs. C. E. Thompson, Piano, Iowa: Anconas are the only chickens I want. 



Hawkes Bros., prominent breeders in England: We have a pen of Anconas consisting 

 of eight pullets and one cockerel, and each pullet averaged 115 eggs in 118 days. They are 

 very hardy birds, small eaters, lay large white eggs , and are fast becoming a popular bird 

 in England. 



Dr. W. E. Allen, San Diego, California: After years of experience, during which time 

 I have tried out most of the popular breeds. I find that Anconas will produce more eggs 

 on the amount of food consumed than any other breed. They are good layers in winter of 

 large white eggs, and the fertility runs high; the chicks are hardy, easily grown, and make 

 broilers at little cost. 



Marion Hill, Geneva, N. Y.: I have raised Anconas for six years. I hav» bred Leg- 

 horns, Wyandottes Andalusians, and Minorcas, but as none of them compare with Anconas 

 I now breed Anconas exclusively. 



C. F. Thornton, Riddle, Ore.: I never saw the equal of Anconas as persistent, year 

 'round layers. I have had White and Brown Leghorns, and Reds here on the farm, but 

 have only Anconas now. Anconas proved by far the best winter layers, and require less 

 feed. They are the best breed for the farmer.
