HISTORY OF ANCONAS 
45 
COMBINE BEAUTY AND UTILITY 
IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE. 
They Lay the Most, Eat the Least, Look the Best. Having a limited 
area for poultry, I cull them closely, and keep none 
but the very choicest. 
I have been in the arena for over twenty years, and have never 
been beaten in the show room on mature birds. 
Have exhibited at many of the large shows, including National 
Club meets. 
“Beauty Strain” demonstrates its superiority in the trap-nest as 
well as in the show room. Their egg-laying ability is inbred, and 
maintained by trap-nesting, line-breeding, and selection.
