"Must Be Vigorous

Wherever 4 have been among the

80 be n failure to appreciate the differ
cnce between fowls of fine constitution

that birds running ut large are not Ike

confinement also plays part.

learns TO rate good constitution high

in the case Of fine exhibition birds. If
he wants to buy bird for a breeder.
