Bill, Ancona Roocter, Trained To Do Stunt· Union County Man Has About 1800 of Hi· Spring Hatch ι rty ft I'. iVatdey. ι ΛΙοιιη*·.—"Conn: herr, Hill anil IhΛν |ι> Ine Indie*." ΛιηΙ Hill. nlxdienl lo hi· master's voice, walked np in front o( the vis itors itraighimcd up, brought hi« tcet together, Ilip)>ed a wing to naril liis I* g ntl comb, and gave a I tow thai would do cr«ht to a danc ing mailer. \ml 'twas giiiiiK !Oinc, for Hill it ■j rhii-Jcui roost c-r ! Did-jeva heir ot a trained chicken, I>cfore } Tlieri in evil) thin# it· the sIkjw from (rained fleas to trained elephants, Init never before around the»e |>art> ha* been >een a trained monter. \ml that wu going some, for ei ther liill the Mar performer in Ur.ox Carraway'* flock of Ancon »* bill is not the boss, he is the Muivc and accomplished gentleman who does the honors when visitors arrive. Rill nine about the front of the pUcc along with several hun nrel puller*. Further id the beck- 1 ground » here the matronly old hen* nin ami do the laying at present, is tlie fighting rooster of the place. He 1 i* "Muck the Belligerent" and he I will fight any one at any time, at | the drop of a hat. that in he will ι fight a man. But Anconas are not | λ fighting breed a/vl if Buck were to see an old game chicken in the pafture be would |>rul>ably go over I lie Ijr.cl. fence without saying good bye. Rut there art no games about, for Mr. Carrnuay has iu>t made the mistake of trying two breeds, lie lias Anconas only, and i* working to produce # strain of his own so thât tlie "Cârrawav Strain" will be known wherever Anconas are spok en of. "Why did >'<>u select Anconas he was asked 'Tor two reasons. One is their merits as layers They are as good as leghorns, and I like them in every way, and you know every one has his faucy. The other reason is that they are comparatively new bird in the south and are destined to bave a great popular run. The leghorn is, of courte, i great lay«v but everybody ha* had leghorns, and people who like chicken are dispos ed to try birds that they have nut had before. Anconas lave the quality and diey arc new in this sec ii"", an I figured there wii a better fol lire for them, and I am going to build up my distinctive Urain, sad make my (lock famous." It wiD thus be torn that Mr. Gar raway has two of the frcet qualities neevssary in building up any busi ness. He h^s practicability and he has love for his work. He aims to devote his life to chickens, and he has unbounded energy and enthu siasm in the work. And his love ίο. chickens is not like the butchcr'» love for animals. This butcher was asked by a customer, "Why did you selei-t the market business?" He studied a little bit and said, "Well. I don't just know, Madam, 1 reck on I always hod a fondness for ani mal*." .Mr. Carraway began 2 year» ago on « town lot. Thin summer bo moved out In the old IViater farm a mile south of town, where he has twenty acre* of Ttmi Broom's les 1>e<Ua pasture, which is as good for chirkcns a* for cows. He now has about eighteen hundred of hii spring hatch, front which the Rttki liave not yet been taken. The pul lets are about to lay and when they («gin he will have, with his old hens, about eight or nine hundred (•«μη U« ·*·.» ..~>k v:_ *1 ι. -n day and steel* on the place at nigtt' It is an arduous business, one re quiring dune application and studv. But these he is giving. He has ad ded to his practical experience a correspondence course m |«ultr> keeping, and is studying the busi ness from every angle. And he is building up from the bottom. He toys that when a man goes into the poultry business ami ha· too much money to start on he is Ukely to fail. He «pends too fast. He wants too many thing· and buys them, mod directly he wakes up to find that his business has become top-heavy. On the other hand, the man who makes the best success starts at the bottom and practices crawling > king time before he begins walking, hut when he does strike walking he goes easy. And it is no joke about Bifl. Bill is a last spring chicken, and he ha% been trained to do stunts. H· will follow Mr. Carra way alt over the place and comes when his name in called. He will sit up 00 the rear of the Ford and ride about like Dr. Smith's dog.
