INVEST LARGE sums
IN FANCY PIGEONS
Birds From All Over Country

Annual Show.

Much has been written In exploitation
OF tho keeping Of pigeons for SQUAD rails
ing and the profits obtainable from this
pleasant pastime. Much moro has been
written Of the various breeds of chickens
and other fowl. But for some unknown
reason the columns OF the daily press
have mentioned little about the various
breeds OF fancy pigeons. Perhaps the
reason 10 that their admirers are timid
about their hobby. Tho only generally
known pigeon fanciers are those whose
birds are seen circling about the roofs OF
the houses on which are their coops. Be-
cause many of these are below the class
Of the real pigeon fancier the latter hes
itates to acknowledge his liking for
pigeons for fear Of being classed with
tho former.
An idea Of the vast number OF persons
allied with the fancy breeds Of pigeons
can readily be obtained from a glance
over the list Of exhibitors In either Of the
catalogues Of the Madison Square Garden
or Grand Central Palace poultry shows.
Not few OF the most ardent fanciers
are persons who have acquired enough Of
this worlds goods to retire from active
business.
The money Represented In that portion
OF the pigeon fancy where the birds are
bred for perfection ana show purposes
only is inestimable. A single pair Of
fancy pigeons with the points that class
them close to the ideal have been sold
for large sums. Few II any really
fancy pigeons are sold at less than So
IA pair. Some have sold for ss much as
$1a each.
Owners and breeders OF this type Of
pigeon stand far above the ordinary
pigeon handler. The birds the latter
keep are in most cases imperfect and
cast off reproductions OF the finer types.

WANT PURE BRED POULTRY.
Dnyers From All Over Country Are
Unanimous,

Occasionally some one adv ances the ar
gumont that crossing the pure bred varl-
cites produces better market fowl. In
order to ascertain the feeling Of those
who are In closest touch with the mar
kets leading poultry journal last
spring mailed out $50 letters to as many
poultry buyers scattered throug hout tho
state. men who buy millions Of dollars
worth OF market poultry every year. ask
ing them which they preferred. mongrol
ohickeLs. cross breds OF pure breds for
market purposes.
The replies came back unanimously in
favor Of the pure breds. In fact there is
so great a difference in the quality that
many OF these buyers are going TO offer
d premium Of from 2 to cents a pound
on pure bred poultry in addition to the
current quotations during the coming
season. They claim that they can sell
the pure bred poultry for enough more
on the city markets to warrant them
in Offering the farmers extra Inducements
to produce that kind.
They claim pure bred poultry fatten
easier and dress up much better. These
men know. There Is no sentiment with
them. 1t IL "a matter of cold dollars and
cents. Their verdict should he taken as
final, and we seem to be justified In
drawing the conclusion that for market
purposes the pure bred fowl is supreme.

POLISH BREED PRODUCT

Nv EDWIN MEGARGEE.

Those who delight In studying the ms
tory OF the various races OF domestic
fowls. their origin and distribution, often
find 1t difficult to account for the names
horne by some Of the older kinds. The
Polish breed 10 an example. There seems
to be no evidence that 1t originated In or
came from the old Polish Kingdom. On
the other hand, 1t has been bred In Hol-
land for n very long period OF time. and

the Spanlards during their occupation OF

But regardless Of the early home OF
the white crested black Polish credit
for bring the breed 20 It's present per.
lection OF form and color must be largely
given the painstaking Dutch breeders.
The breed was early taken UP by English
poultrymen and became exceedingly
popular In Britain. Later 1t was largely
supplanted by the modern breeds and 10

Possibly the loes Of popular favor may
be due to intensive breeding for such
strictly exhibition qualities rs color and
crest to the neglect OF utility character

breed to contract catarrhal troubles In
damp seasons may have caused CONNER

stock.
