BIG DEMAND FOR
TAYL0R'S PHEASANTS

Colby Taylor shipped pair of !
his rare Lady Amherst pheasants
to party at Elyrie, Ohio, this
week, for which he received $35.
This was the second order to go
to this party, which is quite a
pheasant fancier. Mr.. Taylor
says that the demand for pleas
ants is greater than he can posi-
bly, supply. He ships birds out as
fast as he can breed them. A re-
cent order went to Monterey,
Mexico.
Mr.. Taylor's hobby is pheasants
and has made it pay him profit
ably each year. He breeds them
at his home in town here, at the
corner of Lancaster avenue and
Water street, and SO well have
his pens been arranged that his
eight or ten varieties are handled
on his lot, which is only 75x2OO
fet, and has his large two-story
home upon it. The rarest birds
he has are the White Siberian
lpheasants. He says that there
tare probably only Is Of these in
1.-THE United States. A pair sells
for $50 and are always in demand
Iamong pheasant fanciers. A doz-
en- eggs from this rare strain
| feet and has his large two-story
Amherst pheasants sell at $12 a
dozen.
Mr.. Taylor bred 80 young
pheasants last season from the
stock that he keeps for breeding
purposes. He hopes to raise
about 100 this season, and says
if he had more room he would
raise thousand. He knows the
habits and peculiarities of the
; fowl and often has them SO tame
that they will eat out of his hand
Rarely does he lose one from i'll
ness. They are his pets and he
; gives them faithful and careful
attention at all times.
