GAME CHICKEN SECRETS
Southerner Tells how Blooded Fighting
Birds are Raised.
Tricks of Trade Handed Down from
Generation to Generation and
Carefully Guarded.
HE raising of game
chickens for the poultry
show and for the pit, are
two distinctly different
industries, said a South
erner at the The Inn, the
other evening:. The former requires only
for the phenominal success of birds
raised by certain southern breeders.
First of all, the birds have been raised
only for fighting purposes, and year
after year of careful breeding and selec
tion, have developed qualities which
could be secured in no other way. Birds
are only raised from winners and sisters
of winners.
The chickens are kept together from
the time they are hatched in the spring
until the young cockerels, or "stags," be
gin to manifest fighting proclivities. That
comes in the fall. They are then sepa
rated and each stag is placed on a
"walk." This means that a farmer or
negro is paid a certain sum to take the
cock and keep him on his farm with not
more than six hens, in such a place that

this but involves a number of fine points
which are only known to a few who have
been long and closely connected with
the work. These little secrets have, in
many cases, been handed down from
generation to generation, carefully guard
ed, and each chicken fighter in the south
feels that the success of his birds is
largely dependent upon them, and, they

other cock for the period of a year.
One would think the bird should be
fighting all that time to develop his
mettle, but careful study has shown that
this is not the case. During the period,
the bird sees no other cocks ; he is abso
lutely king of the little realm in which
he rules, and he realizes it. He grows in
stature, dignity and courage. In a few
months, nothing can encroach on his
territory without a challenge and Stub-
