 "A what?"
 Chicken gambler. Plays the 100 to shots in this game of chicken exhiol- tion; and, mores the pity, he wins out too. Most people call him profession al exhibitor but prefer to call the men of whom he is a type chicken gamblers.
 And what is a professional exhibitor? Aren't all chicken fanciers chicken gam blers? And isn't the whole game of chick en raising for prizes a gambler"
 'In deed it is a gamble. and the live Hest kind of a one. Go ask Philander Williams of Taunton, who developed the Partridge Cochin; ask Henry T. Sperry. who developed the white Polish; ask MT. Cook, over there, who has just refused 5000 for his prize-winning orpington cockerel: ask any man who has ever had to do with the fancy. And yet right under their noses will come one of these pro- fessional exhibitors and take the prizes away from them.

In this way he is pretty sure to get during the season a lot of fowls that are certain to suit the judges that go in for blood for you must know that there are fan ciers who lay as much stress on the blood of a fowl as do breeders of thoroughbred horses on the blood of their produce 1 know one of these professional exhibitors who in this way had 120 broods of chick ems matched for him, and who got enough prize-winning fowls from the crop to pay him for fhis work besides the 'culls that he raised and sold for a tidy sum to oth- CT exhibitors for the smaller of the shows. Then, too. he is always ready to sell. and 1t is mighty easy to sell prize winner at a show when the blue ribbon is fiuttering from the coop with lot of special prize ribbons snapping their chal- lenges in your face
