The Fancy Chicken Craze

Qeorge J. Nissly, of Saline, who is oue of the largest obioken raisers in the statn, says his business dependa largely on crazes. "A man will eet th& craze, " he says, "and speud a lot of rooney for high-grade chickens, and then perhaps he will get tired or flod it doesn't pay and go out of the bnsinss. So we have to sell to soineone else whom the oraze has jnst truck, and we don't have many steady cnstom' ers. Fanoy fowels are graded on a soale of 100. A bird graded 92 is wortb abont $5, while ons graded 94 is worth at least $20, and a 96 grade will sell readily for $50. The only real difference is in a few featbers, a shade of color or a few markings. "
