BUY STOCK FOR SPRING NOW

Some of the Advantages of- Buying June Bred Poultry at Present Time —Breeder Is Thinning Out. If you are contemplating starting in the fancy poultry business next spring don’t wait till that time to buy your stock. So many wait till the last moment before buying their stock that it is an annoyance to themselves as well as the breeder to be told that he has no stock for sale. Here are some of the advantages of buying June bred poultry at the present time: 1. The breeder has a larger stock on hand than he will have in the spring. 2. He has more birds than he can properly accommodate now, and will “thin out” at a sacrifice. 3. As business is dull with the poultry fancier at this time of the year, he is more anxious to sell and will do better by you. 4. If he is compelled to keep his stock over till spring, he will add the extra expense to the birds, and if eggs for hatching are in demand, he will not sell at any price. 5. In the spring the pens are mated up, and the careful breeder will not break up his matings. 6. Hens and pullets, of any breed, are seldom to be had in the spring.
