deal of credit for a heavy egg yield

well-ventilated house.
Increasing the Flock
After my second year l found White
Orpingtons were also becoming very
popular, and as / was associated with
poultry firm that had excellent stock
in this variety, secured my first birds
from these yards. The poultry bust
ness was booming and everybody
wanted thoroughbred stock. My ad-
Nertising was beginning to bring bet
ter returns and the demand for hatch
ing eggs became greater than my sup
ply. / received SO per setting of fif-
teen eggs, and managed to dispose of
my entire output The eighty hens
would give me an average of twenty
eggs for Matching purposes each day,
and the balance were sold as market
eggs. OF course, a large number of
eggs were sold in quantities, thus cut
ting down the actual returns some
what The sale of Matching eggs
helped largely to make a success of
the venture, and each succeeding sea-
son meant return orders and new
business.
How to Be Successful
L have shipped eggs and birds to
nearly every State in the Union; to
Canada, and even as far as British CO.
lumbia. The real secret of the whole
matter is to have good stock, and then
to advertise it. Daily newspapers have
CLASSIFIED departments where for a
dollar or so you can run an ad and I
have found this kind of advertising
valuable for the quick sale of birds.
OF course, to reach poultrymen eXclu-
sively / soon discovered | must also
use the regular poultry journals. When
l found journals that did not pull" I
dropped them. The journals which
drew the business / kept on with as
long as | had anything to sell. Don't
think, however, that you can do this
with any birds you may happen to
have. You must have quality stock
to offer. The showroom never held
any great attraction for me. yet now
and then, in order to see how we'll my
birds stood the test of comparison,
would enter few at some local show.
1t is difficult, however, to over esti-
mate the value of the showroom as a
medium of advertising. If you have
a good exhibit and can stay there
with your birds, you will get many
people interested in your stock and
possibly make several sales.
The poultry business is particularly
helpful to the semi-invalid. The tasks
about the coops are not laborious. but
must be done every day. Success
comes from hard work, as we'll as
from the other things / have men
toned. To sum it all up-anyone can
start with some well-bred chickens
and by careful management, advertis-
ing ana lot of work, can build up n
profitable poultry enterprise.

SINGLE-COMB BLACK MINORCAS
COPYR IGHT 1916

The Black Minorca is credited with
having originated in Spain; or, as some
claim, in the island of Minorca, off the
east coast of Spain. 1t has been
brought to it's highest state of per-
fection, however, in England, and was
imported into America from that
country. Records show that Minorcas
have been known in England for over
one hundred years, and have been
popular because of their great num-
Der of large white eggs. They lay the
largest and whitest eggs of all breeds
of poultry. The males weigh from u
to 8 pounds and the females from 6 1a
to 7la. These are the weights re-
quired by the American Standard of
Perfection, but many fanciers try to
exceed these weights.
Black Minorcas were first imported
into this country about 1878, and be-
came especially popular with the
smaller backyard fancier. Their
glossy. green back plumage is very
attractive, because dirt and CRIME do
not show. The hens are good foragers
and give exceptionally good results

The hens are virtually egg ma
chimes. They devote almost all their
efforts to shelling out eggs and do not
become broody, hence other hens or
artificial means must be used to hatch
and rear their chicks. The youngsters
make rapid. rugged growth, and If
supplied with plenty of range and for
aging ground, their development will
please the most eXacting.
The male, when full grown, should
have a large, heavy. evenly serrated
comb, full, round, smooth wattles and
a large white almond-shaped ear lobe.
The plumage should be a deep black,
illuminated with beetle green sheen
Their legs are dark in color and heavy
of bone. The body is long and car
ried at an angle only slightly higher
than the horizontal.
The description of the female agrees
generally with that of the male eX-

and smooth, even serrated, with five or
six points. 1t folds both ways on the
head and hangs down on one side of
