The (pifility of the proii'eny that has come from each line of hreedinu' should he verv clearlv in mind and the charnct the breeders separate fi-om the other .stctck. althouiili it is always a safe plan to keep «lhe females away fi*om undesirable males because there is no telling' what in- fluence a chance matin*: with one of these may have upon the future prou'cny of the females. P>ut no later than .lamnn'y the bi-eedint: pens should l)e mated up and we would not advise waitinu' until later than this, except circumstances al).solutely necessitated it. When we wait until later, eveiwthin*: must be done with a rush, and results are never so salisfactorv. Then, too by havin*:' ithe pens mated eai'ly the fowls have time to uvt ac(piainted with their new (piarters — if any chanii'es are made, as there are in nine cases out of ten-the poiiltryman has time to observe if the mat- iuLis are con«renia] and indicatioTis ])oint to a reason- ably hiiih per cemt of fertility, and if thought advi.sable a test can be niad(^ of the e«iu's before the demand be- comes lii'cat foi' hatdiin*:. and thus chaimes can be made in the matin«is so that the be>t usefulness of any particular matiuLi may be insured early \\\ tlie season when those who anticii)atte the »i'reatest possible suc- cess must "make hay." because late hatchiuiis do not insure this greatest success. Another feature often liroimht out when it comes time to mate ithe bi'eeders. is the need of another, or perhaps sever'al birds could be used to advantaiic to properly fill out the mat inns. Desirable ])irds are not always to be obtained late in the season. All things considiM'cd. the advantage is all to the poiiltryman who is the careful obsei'ver and can in- telliiicntly select his breeders and does so early in the sea.son. \yhen feed is as hiuh as it is at the present time it i.s useless to keep any but the very liest of the flock. Poor stock won't urow into money on hi exhibito!»s and even some judges argue in favor of this method because weight is not considered. The Standard gives no license to overlook weight in either comparison or score card judging and a judge who does so does not judge according to the Standard of Perfection. We may argue that while a certain bird at the time of judging is not up to weight it would be, a month or two months later and therefore should be judged accordingly. The same argument might be used in the case of a bird which was un- developed in plumage at the time of judging, or the judge might draw upon his imagination, or knowl- edge of the breed or variety, and say that this cock- erel would be better as a cock, or that pullet better as a hen, and should therefore be judged according to what it may be. The judge is not called upon to pass upon the future possibilities, or the possible breeding qualities of a bird. lie is employed to pass upon the bird as he finds it at the time he judges it. This ar- gument therefore, which gives the judge greater li- cense to draw u])(m his imagination, or to be more lax in his judgment, is an argument against rather than for comparison judging, because any system which favors a laxity of methods is not cotiducive to good judging. The other argument that the amateur ha.s nothing that is of any value to him when he gets a score card, is only an argument against the score card system ; it is nothing in favor of comparison. Comparison gives the amateur nothing that in any way, shape or form will give him an idea of where his bird is w^eak or strong. If he did not attend the show in person and the bird did not win, the bird comes back and the exhibitor knows no more than he did before and has nothing whatever to throw the least light u|)on the subject. If the bii'd won a place, then what does the exhibitor know? Only what he may judge from the general re])utation of the exhibitor's birds over which his bird won, as to the piN)bable quality of the birds in the class. And if this same exhibitor attends the show in pei^son and his bird wins, or it does not wi!i, where do<^s he stand? This, mind you, is the kind of an exhibitor whom the Comparisonites say would have nothing of value if he got a score card because he Ill <[ Page TSraTTT^TTT' POULTRY FANCIER; January, '09 does not have sufficient knowledge of the Standard requimnents to interpret the seore card. Under the comparison system can he go along the aisle and tell why his bird won or lost in competition with those he finds there? Can he tell whether it is too long or too shoi't in back, too bloeky or not bloeky enough, or how it is off in color? What he can tell under this system h- could tell e(iually as well and better under the score card system because under that system he would know in what points at least his bird was off, and he could at once set about in some sort of an intelligent way to learn what the faults are. He has something definite and tangible to work upon. Should the judge be there to explain matters, all that can be said Tn favor of compai'ison can be said in favor of score card judging, and much more. In case the exhibitor who sends his bird to a score card show does not attend that show in person, he gets a s-oj-e card signed by the judge. If he is in earnest and wants to progress he can take that score card and by comparing his birds with the Standard illustration and description he can form a fair idea of why the various cuts were made, and thus get a clearer im- pression of what the Standard calls for in that par- ticular variety. This cannot be said of comparison judging. As to the argument that comparison judging is moi'e sure of placing the right birds, that is largely a matter of the competency of the judge. The score card system has its faults and we can figure out how in certain instances ai)pai'ent injus- tices are done the exhibitoi*s and how mistakes can be and are made, but much the same can be said against the comparison system ; and if those who are so loud in their crv against score card judging would onlv stop to think and give comparison judging the same cj'itical examination and seai'ching they do the score card they would have no more use for comparison than they now have for score card judging. No sys- tem is perfect. The aim should be to employ the system which will be most beneficial to the greatest number. The present score card is the only practical method yet advanced by which we can determine the value of a fowl in all its sections. Along with this system has grown up one of the greatest live stock indus- tries in the country, and when the breeders come to think of this fact we are of the opinion that any new system must have many strong talking points before they will thi'ow up the score card which has so suc- cessfully piloted them in making- the marvelous ad- vances toward perfection which we can see in eveiy variety of fowls th'it has come under Standard in- fluences. "Double Matin 5 ^ Reference is Made to a Challenge in December Num- ber of Poultry Fancier— The Question is Asked, " Is Double Mating Best or Is It Not." By H. P. HENRY FTP]R reading Mr. Foil's article care- fully. I concluded that he means only to complain because the shape and color of Hai'red Rocks and Brown Leir- horns can 'it be pi'oduced to Standard requirements by single matings. The writer of the article says he 'cjuit Barred Rocks for that reason; he likes Judge Fetch's article in October ninnber entitled ''Driven Out of ithe Business." Judge Felch's article had reference to Brown Leghorn breeders going out of business because of the present Standai'd on the Browns. Mr. Feil, a lot of others, and Judge Felch remind me of the boy who (|uit school because th(» lessons got too hard. It may be true. ^Manv nuit. but those that remained produced the goods. ''The wind against the kite ()nly enabled them to fly," and as a result, the faithful on(s im- enjoying health, wealth and 'wis- dom. r think the American l^)ultry Association is a great educator, the Standard oF [)erfection is its text i)ook. The world has nevei* befoi'c scm'u such beautiful spec imens and the poultry industry has never before made such rapid strides of progress as under oui" present standard. Fach revision gives the breeders a lundcr h»yson — a new problem and as the lessons are learned — the problems solved — we have increased beauty, en- la J ged power of apj)reciation. greater mercantile values and a more prosperous [)(M)ple. The principle, in what we call doul)le mating, has its origin in the law of cause and effeot and i1 is not 4 only applicable to the breeding of Brown Leghorns but to the breeding of any live stock where shape or color of male and female is not the same and where thei'c are standard i'e(]uii*(Mii(>nts. All bi-eeders may not apj)ly it, but it is their privilege whenever it is their pleasure to do so. This principle has been used with marked effect in the breeding of standai'd Brown Feghorns and Bai-i'ed Rocks. Some breeders, you know, ai-e not satisfied with an ordinary degree of i)erfecti(m, such as can be produced bv single mat- ings. They are like "our standard." they^set the task to test the strength and increase the task as tlie strength increases and developnient is a naturfd re- sult. In d(mble mating, as it is called, we have, as T will term it. a united effort for a single purpose, VIZ.: Standard males or females, as the case may be.' While in single mating we Inive the same effoi't f(u^ a double purpose, viz.: Standard males and femah's Under the double system, no sacrifice is made one for the other and undei- the single, there is. To say .[he least of It, by double mating, you have all to gain and Jt nothing to lose in shn])e and coloi*. " By single mating we aim to "kill fm, birds wifli one sfom/' By double mating we aim to kill two birds (so to speak) but expect to do it bv two throws See ? I suspect our next Standard will put some more of the boys out of business, but the fancv will lose m)th- ing because whatever it may lose in (piantitv of breed- ers will be gained ni (piality of specimens. • %d .# Don't pick the birds out of the Hock the day vou ship them to the show and then expect them to vVin Ihey may, but the odds are against it.

A Dominique carrying but an eighth or a sixteenth of Rock blood would, in appearance, be a pure bred Dominique if the R-ock blood had been used by a reasonably skill- ful breeder. A small percentage of the chickens bred from such a fowl might, through reversion show some Rock characteristics, but the specimen itself would not. If Mr. Davenport thinks differently, I suggest tha»t he draw up a standard for the Dominique and see with what success he will meet. One introducing Rock blood to improve the Dom- inique, would, of course if he were a real breeder, select fi'om the half-bred chickens those showing the most Doniini((ue characteristics. The females so se- lected, he would mate with a typical Dominique male, and the quarter Rock pi'ogeny woidd bear a close re- semblance to thoroughbred Dominiques. Another selection of these (juarter Rock three-quarter Dom- inique pullets, made so as to preserve the Dominique characteristics, united again to a typical Dominique male, would give one-eighth Rock and seven-eighths Dominique chickens, many of which, in my opinion, could not be distinguished by the most expert judge from pure-bred Dominiques, no matter what the Stan- (bird's description might be. And this would be true not only of such a cross, but of the cross between any other two bi'ceds. Such selection has been em- ployed in grading up fowls of many varieties and its success has been demonstrated repeatedly. I haven't a word to say against the American D()mini(|ue. It is really a thoroughly good practical fowl — a good lavei' ami one that dresvses well for mar- ket. It has a distinctive shnpe. wIkmi well bred, more like that of the Hamburg than that of the IMymoufh Rock, l^ut, the attempt to mnke it a serious rival of th(^ Barred Plymouth Rock for exhibition purposes is one that will necessitate much laboi* and to me it does not look promising. ^lind you, I am not a breeder of Barred Tlvmouth Rocks or American Dom- iui(jues at the present tim(\ and so have no ])ur- pose to serve: but \ am interested in all breeds of poultry, and so far as in me lies would have all of them secure ''a square deal." The Barred Plymouth Rock is so popular with the American fanciers that it w^ill be difficult, if not impossible, to displace it with another breed. I have had experience with both Rocks and Dominiques, and am speaking frora per- sonal knowledge. I w^ould really be pleased to see the American Dominique more popular than it is, but I never expect to see it as popular as the Barred Plymouth Roc#k. That, however, is no reason why its First prize White Rock Pullet at the December, 1908, Chicago show. Bred and owned by H. W. Halbach, Box 7, Waterford, Wis. The illustration is made from an unretouched photograph and is one of the best ever published. admirers should cease their efforts to increase its pop- ularity. And may I, with due modesty, suggest that the best w^ay to make it popular will be to prepare a standard for it, which will emphasize its best characteristics, and with a color scheme which will enable it to be bred successfully from a single mating. To breed ex- hibition Bari'ed Rocks double matings are a neces- sity. Another fact deters not a few from taking up this valuable breed. If the Dominique's standard is so prepared that both cockerels and pullets for ex- hibition can be bred successfully from a single mating — and such a standaj'd can be made — the breed will score a strong point in its favor among the class of [)oultry men who do not wish to undertake double matings. With a female somewhat darker than the standard Barred Plymouth Rock female and a male several shades lighter than the standard Barred Plymouth Rock male, required for exhibition Ameri- can Domini(jues, there will be no necessity of resort- ing either to a Rock cross or to double matings. If I were ;i Dominique breeder that is what I should advocate with all the ])ower I possessed, in season and out of season, until the reform was accomplished or proved hopeless.

It is the only poultry journal pub- lished solely in the interests of fanciers, the people who constitute practically the entire fraternity. The mission of Poultry Fancier is to teach breeders how to produce the beautiful and valu- able Standard bred birds which are the founda- tion of all profit and pleasure in poultry raising. January, 1909. Raisingr ^ood l)ir(ls .'ind soiling them at long prices .ift(>r yon liavc raised them are two dirt'orent ]»ropositions, and each requires special tact in the breeder. Do not hesitate to pay a fair price for stock and eggs. They have a mar- ket value the same as any article of merchandise and it pays to get a good article. Show us a man who speaks derisively of the ]»(>ultry })usiness and we will show you one wlio is to be ]»itied for his ignorance. It seldom i>ays to doctor sick fowls. Unless they are valuable show birds or extra good layers, it is l)etter to cut off their heads. Purchasers of eggs should remember that they are buying an unknown quantity as regards results. The seller cannot guarantee anything except that his breeding ])irds arc of certain qual- ity and that he has j)roperly fed and cared for them. If you have taken up the work of breeding fowls with the idea tliat it is a business specially adapted to children and invalids, you liad better change your ideas or get out of the business. Failure is waiting for you right around the corner. The present Standard contains a number of things that were not put into the book by authority of tlie Ee- vision Committee who revised the old book. We mean by this that the points in question were not discussed by the committee as a whole and its a])])roval of them was not secured or solicited. They are the ideas of one or possibly two or three of the mem- bers of the committee and are worthy just that much consideration and no more. Two of these features are big steps ))ackward in the ])roduction of high (piality birds and they should never have been considered for a moment. We refer to the s})ecifving of cuts for gray in the })lumage of all white varie- ties and for ^^down" between the toes of all varieties recpiired to have un- featliered shanks and toes. Formerly these defects were disqualifications and they should rightly be considered as such. There was no demand for a change in Standard requirements in this res]»ect and there is no excuse for such action. The Standard is supposed to represent ideals. Its o})ject is to hold uj) ])erfection to the ])reeders of all varieties and encourage them in reaching it. Sometimes when ]»erfec- tion in some detail has l)een reached, it is customary and right to place the ideal just a little farther away and set new tasks, which when accom- ]>lished, will ])lace us nearer to a))so- lute i)erfection. In this way ]»rogress is made and we improve upon iho work of the past. It is the constant aim of breeders in general to go forward in their efforts and the Standard of Per- fection is adopted by us so that we may have progress definitely defined and have some clearly si)ecified object- ive point which it is desirable to reach. That portion of the Standard above re- ferred to encourages just the opposite result.s. It i)laces the ideal farther be- hind us. If followed to its natural conclusion, it makes a scrub a Standard bred bird. It lowers the quality of a breeder's flock if he gives considera- tion to it and it has done a world of damage by tacitly telling breeders that it is all right to breed from disqualified birds. There is no quicker way to ruin a flock or no more effective way of checking the i)rogress of amateur breeders. These rules have also added greatly to conditions which j»revent uniformity in judging in the show room. They have not only forced judges wider ai»art, but they have caused much dissent ion among exhibi- tors and judges and have fostered doubt, ignorance and even unfair deal- ings with customers. When a breed or varietv is new, it imssesses certain defects which should be tolerated by being ])unished lightly when judging them, but there are no redeeming features of this character connected with the conditions to which we refer. The white varieties have been ])red from ten to fifty years and stu])s or 'Mown" and so-called gray were long ago idaced in the list of dis- (pialifications which would del);ir a ])ird from the breeding pens of any breeder who })retended to have good stock. The- same is true in the case of nearly all varieties required to have unfeathered shanks and toes. After all these years of satisfactory progress, why should we roduce stubby hgged l)irds in the yards of ])uyers, and those vvho> buy eggs from him will make the same comi»laint. He is very apt to get a reputation that practically puts hint out of ))usiness if he does not wake up in time to realize that he must discard most of his birds and start all over again to build up a flock. These same remarks apply with equal force in the ease of "gray sj»ecks" in the ].lumage of whit(> birds. Gray is simplv modified black and is just as objectionable. Tt is intensified in the j»rogenv of birds possessing it and will rapi'dlv spread through an entire flock. The ])resent Standard ruling is so vague that a rank cull can l)e given quite a resju'ctable- score and be awarded a ]»rize over a really meritorious sjiecimen. The- breeder wh(» understands the laws of breeding and who is striving for per- fection in his birds would not think of using in his ])reeding pens such s])eci- mens. Then, why encourage the pro- duction of them and cause all the at- tending evils resulting therefrom? What we want is better birds and a higher Standard of Perfection. We cannot have either under present con- ditions. Another thing we need is uni- form judging, and that also is unfa- vorably affected. Tt is most desirable that the Standard be as explicit as pos- sible in all descriptive matter and that ])ortion of it which specifies cuts for certain defects is heljiful lioth to judges and breeders, but the in- formation of this character which ap- pears upon ])ages 29 and lU) of the ])resent book is badly in need of revi- sion. It not only n(MMls revision, but the changes should be more in harmony with the views of tlie majoritv. One ()r two men should not attempt to en- force their hobbies upon the entire fra- ternity. This is a give-and-take pro])o- sition and can never })e satisfactorily handled u]»on any other basis. # # • Pertinent Paragraphs By EASTERNER The other day I was leaning over the line fence when an idea occurred to me. Such a happening Is so sudden and of such rareness that I immedi- ately let loose for the typewriter on my chicken office table, where I might ^o into a trance on one end of a long stemmed pipe and after a while wake up and see what my fingers had been doing the while they were playing with the keys. Here is what the ma- ■chine ground out while the veil of mystery hung low: THE HEN— A ARTIKULE. By the Most Noted Authors — One for Each Chapter. CHAPTER ONE. BY F. J. SCIHREMAX. The henn is sumtimes called a bird and sumtimes a foul, and of coars'e the rooster, being the husband of the henn, is likewise either a bird or a foul. I have looked into the matter quite -closely and it is my opinion that the henn was once a foul, but is now a bird, using the word bird in the way of slang, as layed down in Daniel Web- ster's dictionary, but the rooster is still s. foul. CHAPTER TWO. HY R. C. H. HALLOCK. But before going into that branch of the subject I want to set at rest an- other thing about the henn, and that is the old riddle as to which cum first, the henn or the egg. Now, there is nothing to that dispute. Of coarse there had to be a henn before there was a egg. That stands to reason, for nothing elste could lay a henn egg ex- cept the henn herownself. But, says a smart feller, there coodent be enny Iienn ontil there was a egg to hatch the henn from. In the langwidge of the poet we can say to such fellers, "Go and chase yourself, and look into POULTRY FANCIER^ the 21st verse of the first chapter of Genesis, as layed down in the Bible, and there you will find that the henn and the rooster was created and not hatched attall. CHAPTER THREE. UY A. C. HAWKINS. Having settled that, we now cum to the question of the value of the henn to the human family, and to the peo- ple of the state of Oregon in particu- lar, and in this inventory we include spring chickens, which is henns and roosters just before they are weaned, and just as they are cutting their first teeth. But sum fok'es who sell spring chickens seem to think that enny henn, or rooster, that is under nine year old is good for spring chickens. Well, it is good to sell for spring chicken, but net good to eat for spring chicken, only in boarding houses. CHAPTER FOUR. RY MH.LER PURVIS. That brings us down to the care of the henn, wich is a subject wich we are well posted on, and on wich we can give expert avice, being the soul own- er of a band of 4 henns, wile the fel- lers who usually give advice on the subject newer met up with a henn to know her, or at least to get acquainted with her. When the chicken is hatched, the first thing to do is to look it over carefully and decide whether you will bring it up as a henn or a rooster. But I forgot to tell about setting a henn. When you want to set a henn you first secure your eggs and bild a nest. Bild the nest in a sope box, but net too high a box, just about a little lower than the henn when she stands up. Then ketch the henn you want to sot on the eggs and put her into the box along side of the nest, and then pass away and let her alone for tw'enty 4 hours. Then take her off and feed her and put her back. You will find she is not yet setting on the eggs, not even getting reddy to set, but is oneasy in her mind, and spends Page 9 her time standing up, or as near as she can in the lough box. CHAPTER FIVE. HY I). LINC. ORR. Then after twenty-four hours more take her off again and teed her, and then BLINDFOLD her, and put her back in the box, and be shure and stand her in the mess of eggs, so her feet will tuch sum of them. And then, unbeknownst to the henn, fill the box all around with straw, so she can't get her feet out of the eggs. But she won't set yet you will say, and of coarse she won't, for she diddent want to set in the first place. But hear is how you fool the henn. Wile you are putting her in the third and last time, have conceiled about your person a small eight day Seth Thomas clock, and put that in amongst the straw, being shure it is wound up to run the full 8 days. CHAPTER SIX. BY THOMAS F. RIGG. The ticking of the clock will lure the henn to sleep, and as she sleeps she squats, and of course as she squats she sets. See how simple it is? Just as easy. That is the way the best henn men are all doing now. They don't set what is called broody henns, for broody henns are likely to leave their nests enny time, wile a henn sot in the way we describe nevvfer was known to quit ontil the chickens are all hatched. If you try this new way just once you will praise me for evermore, I know. CHAPTER SEVEN. BY THEO. HEWES. Sum henns is lazier nor other henns, and sum henns is so lazy they don't lay a egg evvery day, when it is well knowen that evvery abel bodied henn shood lay a egg evvery day; but to have the henns reel profitabel you should get at least ten eggs a w'eak for each henn, and when onct you get them up to ten eggs a weak, you can graddually raise them up to 2 eggs evvery day in the year. That is very easy done.

It's a long story, but the Deacon says he'll stand for it. Little Johnnie was told by his father that if all his sins were written, one on each rung of the ladder that led heavenward, he would at last be in the longed-for haven. Johnnie had a dream and told his father about being disturbed in his slumber. "What did you dream, my son?" "I dreamed that as I was climbing the ladder and chalking down each sin, my head bumped against something." "What was it, my son?" "I dreamed it was you, father, com- ing down after more chalk." At the annual banquet of the Mis- souri State Show, one of the best speakers brought out this story and further said (much to the amusement of all present) that in this man-hunt for poultry righteousness, Mr. Graves might bump against his arch enemy, Mr. Curtis, coming down after more chalk.

Most poultry people will regret this as the Garden Show is the one show by which all other American show standards are set. It is the one show that has been ex- ploited most in a commercial sense by the fancier as an individual, and has been worth the most money to him. A Garden winner means reputation, means something to advertise about and a chance to make good money. Then there is the other class, the class of fanciers to whom the winning of a place even at Madison Square Garden means the attainment of their highest ambition as a poultry fancier. And the poultry world made good use of their opportunity to see this show this year. Never have so many poultry people attended this or probably any other .show. They came singly, they came in twos and threes, they came in half dozens and in one case they came a score strong. And these parties included particularly visitors who had never attended the show before. For the quality of the birds was on the whole better than ever ; the quality which sets the standard for excellence for this country. It is one of the most encouraging signs in the poultry world that more and more breeders are attending the bigger shows. For there and there only, as a rule, can the be.'^t birds be seen, and a real idea obtained as to what is what in exhibi- tion poultry. The Asiatic classes still hold the first place in the matter of cooping at this show as they did of yore when they were the leaders in numbers and quality. But thty have been sadly depleted of late years here as elsewhere. Light Brahmas (54 birds) and Blaclc Langshans (28 bird.s) were the only varieties that made any display worthy of the name. There were a few ex- ceptionally good birds in both varieties, but it seems, just as soon as popular interest slackens in any variety, the quality as a whole deteriorates or is at a standstill. How it should come about that the Asiatic classes should drop in numbers as a show By W. THEO. WITTMANN variety .seems beyond comprehension, for most certainly birds of these classes excel in being able to fill a show room coop with attractiveness and beauty. Dark Brahmas (18 birds) and Buff, Partridge and White Cochins, a two-bird show only in each of their classes. Barred Plymouth Rocks, some 200 birds in the four single classes, or about the number there were last year. Probably no improvement, taking the display as a whole, over the birds of last year so far as plumage is concerned. This is debatable and as is usual in Barred Rocks there was much diversity in opinion over the awards. That Barred Rocks here are getting to be very much more uniformly even in Rock type and size was admitted on all sides. All the "big guns" were represented in the coops and the five firsts went one to each of this class. The most coveted one, that of first cockerel, was scooped in by Haw- kins, and a good win it was too. This cockerel was an exceptionally good one, probably the "star" in the Barred alley. There were just sixty-six cockerels. Next to the cockerel stood 1st hen, the winner of last year and still showing up well above her kind. The pullet winners, notably one or two, did not seem of the high quality one would expect here. White Plymouth Rocks dropped from 157 last year to 93 this year, but the quality was decidedly A No. 1 all through the classes. I should pick 1st cockerel as the star, while 2d was not far behind him and 1st cock might be picked by some as the best of the three. First pullet was most typical and strong in all sections. The top winners in hens were excessively large. It must have been no sinecure to pick the winners in this variety. They were all very white and often too with the best of yellow legs. Buff Plymouth Rocks numbered 45 birds, also a drop of about 40 Vt in numbers. But as in Whites it seemed to be mostly an elimination of the poorer specimens. Take males ; such uniform evenness in color in all sections is little short of marvelous and makes the Buff Plymouth Rock when thus clothed a sensationally beautiful bird. May there be more of such Buff Rocks. The judge favored a lighter shade of buff than is usually winning.

Both Partridge and Silver Plymouth Rocks nicely filled their classes and in- cluded many highly meritorious specimens. The Silvers seem to be advancing the most rapidly. There were shown both males and females that in both plumage and shape sections closely approached perfection. Silver Wyandottes were very fine. First hen was a wonder. She had the most in- tense black lacings and whitest of centers and was grand in size and shape too. Golden very close to Silvers in numbers, and nowhere else does one see Goldens nearly approaching what is shown at the Garden. Practically all by one breeder, who it was given out sold a trio of young- sters here for $500 to go to Australia. White Wyandottes ranked next to Barred Rocks in numbers. They were a high class bunch, and it would be simply impossible for any two judges to come out entirely alike in the awards. And yet in this keen- est competition both winners and losers acted the true sportsmen. If anything dis- tinguished the winners as a class, it was extreme whiteness, cleanliness and condi- tion of plumage. About a score only of Black Wyandottes and less than thirty Buff Wyandottes. The I-Juffs were exceptionally good though, and the same shade and evenness that won in Rocks won in this class. Partridges came out strong (50 birds) and good ones. They seem quite a little ahead of Partridge Rocks. Among the winners were many deep red. evfn males and finely penciled and colored females, showing good type in both sexes. Columbians were a most marked im- provement over anything yet shown. At last the males seem to be coming entirely free of that nasty yellow or brassiness, with good Wyandotte shape and black markings. First cock was a dandy in these things. There were also winners among the cockerels that excelled same way and an unplaced one (out on account of a few stubs) that was a regular king-pin. First hen was of clearest white with the best of hackles and tail lacings a Light Brahma ever carried. A picture of a hen to arouse the enthusiasm of any Columbian breeder. Columbians numbered nearly 100, a big gain. Rhode Island Reds too came out stronger than ever in numbers^lSl birds — and the really red birds of the right type were strongly in evidence. The R. C. color spe- cial in females went to a hen that was extra nice in color. Orpingtons numbered 260 birds, the big- gest gain being in Whites. Here there was considerable wrangling over the awards and it developed that there must be something like unto a Western and an Eastern type. The judge was Western and made a good impression as to his sincerity. Also it was far ton much work for one man to have all the Orningtnns in the time allowed and do himself justice. Leghorns did best in S. C. Whites, where it is not exaggerating to say that all the winners were sensationally good. They were remarkable for whiteness and uniformity of type. A type well nigh perfection, ac- cording to present day ideals. S. C. Browns had the best cockerel and at the same time the best colored cockerel seen in years. The females too were of the extra high quality usually seen here annually. S. C. Buffs had a strong cofk and hen in the two first.s, and there was a good Black and a good Duckwing cock. R. C. Whites had a cock the equal of the S. C. cocks — and that's saying a good deal. R. C. Browns did best in a champion hen -—a two time previous winner here. The 1st and 2d cocks, also same in pullets, were exceedingly good. Blue Andalusians deserve especial men- tion. Such birds are likely to create an interest in Andalusians in nearly anyone. Some of the females were laced to equal a Sebright and males showed splendid top and ground color. All through the size and type too were way above the usual. Silver Spangled Hamburgs too included many extra highly meritorious birds. The same is true of Houdans. The win- ners were gems of the first water and such a collection of quality as one rarely sees gathered together in any one show in any variety. S. C. Black Minorcas found few of the ■«;^HI|6L,VLinP»a*^ ■31 •■-'•■•"'•'•'- Page 12 old Kuard or prominent breeders showing and these mostly not pleased with the way some of the awards were hung. White Cornish included some extra typi- cal birds. Probably the best in this country to date. Ornamental Bantams were strongest in both numbers and quality in R. C. Black.'-- and Buff Cochins. Although there were some very fine White and Black Cochins and here and there an exceptional bird in other varieties. In Game Bantams it was the old, old struggle for supremacy, and right in this alley is probably more money invested and more really high class birds to be seen than anywhere else in the show — a sort of inter- national show, for 25 to 50 per cent are usually Crystal Palace importations.

Write for circular and prices. thus far, but really they are frequently the better part of the show. First they occupy the best position, in the best light ; get no money awards and pay a high entry fee and yet they were a large and perfect poul- try show in themselves worth going hun- dreds of miles to see. For instance there were twenty-nine yards of Barred Rocks, twenty-four of White Wyandottes. twenty of Rhode Island Reds, thirty-six of Orpingtons, twenty-three of Leghorns. Besides probably every va- riety in the Standard and some not in were represented. Yards of Red, Speckled and Light Sussex, Barred Minorcas and Silver Companies were novelties that attracted attention. The finishing touch doubtless in the eye.- of many of the visitors was a large central pond stocked with wood-duck, mandarin, pin- tail, red-head, grey call and a dozen other varieties of wild and toy ducks.

Drinking ice water is a great egg retarder. The chill should be taken off the water. Hens want water often. It should be fresh but not cold to chill the hens through and through. That's why the Automatic Non-Freezing Drinking Fountain advertised elsewhere is so valuable in the poultry yard. It takes the chill off. It is a frost-proof appliance that costs little and it costs little to run it. Hens scratch and eat and drink and sing and keep it up all day. It is an egg producing little device made by the Automatic Hatching Co.. at Flint. .Mich., who mak(^ the celebrated Mother lien Lrooder which warms chicks' backs and I ' (s by top heating.

O^^^^^^^-^^EIt^POULTRY FANCIER- Something New in Artificial Incubation An Explanation from the Inventor Himself of the New Automatic Moisture Regu- lator Now Used on the Model Incubator By CHAS. A. CYPHERS Mr. Chas. A. Cyphers invents an Auto- matic Moisture Regulator that controls the humidity in the hatching chamber of incu- bators in the same manner that the tem- perature has been controlled for many years. When asked about it Mr. Cyphers .grew reminiscent. We let him tell the story : "To hark back to the early experiences of the chicken man, not a few of the old timers have had their experience with the 'hot water jug' incubators, the incubators in which a measured amount of warm water was poured in a heating tank after the same amount of water that had lost its heat was drawn off. The boxes, and they were little more than boxes those days, had heavily packed walls, and this was the only means of keeping a hatching temperature. Many of these machines were in use fifteen years ago, and, in fact, it is the French peasants' hatcher of today. Supplied moisture was used, but practical heat regulators were not invented. "Next came the hot water incubator with lamp attachment to keep up the heat ; and shortly thereafter the expansion and con- traction of the water in the heating tank was taken advantage of to operate a float connected io a lamp trip for reducing the flame ; thus the temperature of the water was regulated, and approximately the tem- perature of the hatching chamber. The old 'Monarch' incubator, made by James Rankin, the father of the green duck business, was typical of this class of hatcher. "About this time came a stream of ther- mostatic heat regulators, the most successful of which was one made by Renwick and used on his 'Thermostatic' incubator ; and a simi- lar one used on the old 'Perfect Hatcher,' which was made some thirty years ago, in both of which a 'clockwork motor' did the work. From this time on thermostatic heat regulators almost without number were in- troduced, some worthless, but many showing steady improvement. "The wafer thermostat, originally made by Herson of England, has had considerable exploitation, principally because the orig- inal was not patented in this country. The barometric changes affect this thermostat too much to make it the ideal regulator. The toggle-joint thermostat has been worked out in many designs during the past thirty years, but while the accuracy of movement was present in nearly all designs, they were too feeble to do positive work. This fault was overcome to a very large extent in the thermostat I put on the Cyphers in 1895, and wholly overcome in the Corrugated Leaf Thermostat, now used on my Model, and invented and patented by me. "All this time improvements in devices for supplying moisture remained as primi- tive as at the time of the 'Hot Water Jug' incubator. The nesting material was wetted ; water pans were put in the hatching cham- ber in various positions and styles ; saw- dust and sand were put in pane or in the bottom of the hatchers and kept wet ; the eggs were sprayed with, and sometimes dipped in, warm water, or covered with wet cloths at intervals ; but no attempt was made at an automatic supply and regulation of humidity. Occasionally a German hygrome- ter with an indicating hand made with thin metal and litmus paper was used to indi- cate the humidity, but discarded after having been found worthless. The standard Mason wet bulb hygrometer was too bulky and ex- pensive for popular use. ' "With the advent of the diffusive prin- ciple in artificial incubation, which I was first to use, incorporating it in my original incubator in 1895, the need of supplied mois- ture was, to a large extent, eliminated. I took advantage of the fact that the rate of movement of the air had more influence over the rate of evaporation under the conditions found in the hatching chamber of an incu- bator, than the actual degree of humidity, and so regulated and diffused the incoming air that there has been little need for sup- plied moisture in incubators of my design. Probably for this reason, more than for any other one or combination of reasons has the moisture question been neglected, even in arid parts of the country where it is of un- doubted advantage. "Some four years ago some of my Colo- rado customers, out in that arid country where they dry meat in the sun, and even the human lungs all but refuse to rot, began to ask for some better moisture device than was available. The idea then came to me of an 'Automatic Regulator,' one that would regulate the degree of humidity in the hatch- ing chamber, the same as the heat was regu- lated. "About every known substance that had any hydrostatic qualities was tried out in my experimentation with automatic moisture regulation. I did not want to be precipitate, realizing I was first in the field, and entitled to the strongest kind of a patent if I covered the ground properly. And then I had the long line of heat thermostatic experiments to fall back on to guide me away from the usual mistakes the pioneer inventor makes. These experiments had taught me that the simplest was the best, and many things about heat, ventilation and humidity, and mechanical movements that I would not otherwise have known. While I tried out many complicated appliances, and recorded many possible combinations, the commonest substance and the simplest design appealed to me the strongest. "With the Model Moisture Regulator more elusive problems had to be worked out than is usual with mechanical appliances. Briefly, we have these factors in humidity alone : "All space contains some water vapor in suspension. This moisture held in suspen- sion is usually spoken of as 'humidity' and the percentage of its total carrying capacity is called the 'relative humidity.' The in- strument used to record the relative humid- ity is called a 'Hygrometer.' "The presence of moisture in any given space is independent of the presence or ab- sence of air in the same space, except that the air retards the diffusion of the water vapor particles. We therefore find that the barometric pressure of the air has but slight effect on the readings of the hygrometer. "The higher the temperature the greatfe. the amount of moisture that can be held in suspension. In other words, the higher the temperature the greater the total amount of moisture it would take to completely satur- ate a given space. For instance, a space of a cubic foot would hold nearly four times as much moisture at 70 degrees as it would at 32 degrees ; and more than twice as much at 100 degrees as at 70, or more than eight times as much as at 32 degrees. "The physical action of humidity is to check evaporation. The greater the humid- ity and the lower the temperature, the slower the evaporation ; and vice versa ; the higher the temperature and the lower the humidity the more rapid does evaporation take place. "The only other factor in determining the rate of evaporation is the air movement. In a still atmosphere the air retards the dif- fusion of the water vapor particles, the same as stones retard the flow of water in a stream. If the air is moving rapidly the vapor particles are carried rapidly away from the evaporating surface, other particles from the moist or wet surface taking their place, and a drying effect is produced. It takes an air movement of 15 feet per second to produce the maximum drying current. "There are two scientiflc methods usually employed in accurately determining the per- centage of humidity. One is figured from the dew point, i. e., from the temperature at which the water vapor in the air condenses on a silver test tube, and the other, tables for which have been worked out from the dew point method, is the wet and dry bulb hygrometer. In this instrument, the fact that evaporation has a cooling effect has been taken advantage of. One bulb is left exposed to the air and registers the air tem- perature, the other bulb is covered with a thin fabric and wetted. As evaporation takes place the wet bulb is cooled and the differ- ence in the reading between the two ther- mometers caused by the cooling effect of evap- oration on the wet bulb, usually spoken of as the depression of the wet bulb, gives us the percentage of humidity, which is, how- ever, modified by the air movement, the actual humidity only being indicated in an air current of at least 15 feet per second. "In artificial incubation we have to do with the rate of evaporation, under a tem- perature of from 102 to 103 degrees, and as the rate of evaporation is influenced by both the humidity and the rate of movement of the air. for practical purposes any instru- ment used for determining the amount of evaporation must give the humidity or mois- ture pressure as it affects evaporation under ^ Page 19 the air conditions in the hatching chamber, rather than the actual amount of moisture contained in the air. "Such an instrument I have in the Model Hygrometer, and its readings are just as valuable as showing the percentage of hu- midity, modified by the rate of movement of the air, whether used in the Model Incu- bator, where the air is comparatively quiet as under a hen, and the actual humidity is of lesser importance, or whether used in a radiating incubator with strong air currents, and supplied moisture is vital. This is for the reason that in the radiating incubator with the strong air currents it would take a higher humidity to offset the greater move- ment of the air, and under the same degree of evaporation the reading would be the same. I therefore recommend the Model Hygrometer for the use of anyone using in- cubators of any make. The Model Hygrom- eter is made in the Model Thermometer Works, which I was forced to establish in order to get the right quality of incubator thermometers. It is adjusted to read at incubating temperatures, and I can guaran- tee its reliability. "The Model Hydrostat is also influenced in like manner by the rate of evaporation as well as by the actual humidity, and it is probably as uniform in action as such an instrument will ever be made. It holds the relative humidity within remarkably narrow limits, turning on the water drip automatic- ally, and turning it off again at the right time. And this latter is an important fea- ture, as it takes time for the water to evap- orate, no matter how perfectly the design of the evaporating surface. It takes 5.38 times as much heat to vaporize water as to heat it from freezing to boiling, and it takes time to vaporize it at incubating tempera- tures. This 'time' is an important factor to be reckoned with in the make-up and ad- justment of an Automatic Moisture Regula- tor. The Model Hydrostat, as well as the working parts of the complete Model Auto- matic Humidor or Moisture Regulator are designed to meet every requirement of artificial incubation." We will only add to what Mr. Cyphers has had to say, that it seems fitting that he should be the first to make a successful mois- ture regulator, after having already done as much for artificial incubation, and artificial poultry rearing.

Association silver cups and several cut glass premiums. These awards having been placed by Judge DeGratf, the acknowled^^ed authority on Reds, speaks very highly of the quality of Mr. Sibley's birds. Mr. E. F. Wm. Stellhorn, Marion, O., has been very successful in breeding Barred Ply- mouth Rocks and Black-Tailed Japanese Bantams, and has built up a very profitable and pleasant sideline to his regular occupa- tion. At the recent Marion, O., Show he won 1st pen, 1st and 4th cockerel, 2nd cock, 2nd and 3rd pullet, 4th hen. and best display on Barred Rocks and on the Black- Tailed Japanese Bantams, 1st cockerel and 4th pullet.

In the Partridge Plymouth Rock alley at the Chicago show the exhibit of S. A. Xoftz- ger, Route 4, North Manchester, Ind., was a center of attraction and nearly every one familiar with this variety pronounced his birds the best they had ever seen. Mr. Noftzger is one of the old fanciers and has been a winner with a number of varieties in the best shows of the country. He was among the first to take up the Partridge Plymouth Rock, in fact lays claim to being the originator of this variety. At least he has been working quietly for ten years per- fecting his strain, but only in the last few years has he shown them. That he has been remarkably successful in his efforts is shown by his recent winnings. At the Indiana State Fair last fall, said to be the largest and hottest class ever shown in America, he won 1st, 2d and 3d cockerel, 1st and 2d cock, 2d pullet, 1st and 2d pen.

We are in receipt of the Binghamton Seed Company's new catalogue for 1909. The cover is printed in colors and shows a bou- quet of beautiful roses in their natural tints. The catalogue itself is very interesting. It tells about some new and desirable va- rieties that are probably just what many flower lovers are looking for. But the old popular varieties that have been sold for years by this company and have won a place with many persons as peerless seeds, are still offered. "Honest price — honest quality," is the motto of the concern and over twenty-five years of prosperous and increasing patronage proves that the motto has a real meaning with them. Any of our readers who intends purchas- ing any flower or vegetable seeds this spring should write at once for this catalogue. It will aid very materially in planning your seed expenditure and will save you money. Binghamton Seed Co., 149 Court street, Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this paper when writing. A Winning Pair. We are pleased to announce to our read- ers the consolidation of the two Bennett brothers at Canton, III., under the name of the Quality Hill Poultry Farm. This farm has become famous for the high quality of the S. C. Rhode Island Reds which are bred there. Mr. F. A. Bennett, the eflacient secretary of the Illinois State Poultry As- sociation, is the Red fancier of Quality Hill Farm and has come as near solving the mystery of how to breed good Reds as any- one in America. And close at his side is Wm. Z. Bennett, who has been breeding Barred Rocks for many years, but not until recently has he become known generally as a breeder of as high class birds as can be found. Previou.sly the brothers have been "going it" alone, each with his favorite, but on December 1st, 1908, they joined forces and from now on it is a foregone conclusion that there will be something "doing" at Canton in S. C. Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks, and we confidently predict they will breed better birds of each variety as a result of this combination. They have an excellent place close to Canton for hatch- ing out and caring for their birds until past the danger point, and ample facilities in the country for giving them free range where they will grow and mature into vigorous specimens. You should write to this farm if interested in S. C. Rhode Island Reds or Barred Rocks. The firm is reliable in every way.

It was but a short period ago that the poultry yard was left to the t-are of the woman on the farm. Then .she listened for the cackling of the hen — Nature's signal that the hen wanted to set. When the eggs were placed under the hen. the woman of the farm waited anxiously for twenty-one days to see whether or not she had "counted her chickens before they were hatched." Then along came the incubator, which was more or less of an experiment — sometimes the hatch was successful, ofttimes a failure. Gradually improvements began to appear in artificial incubation, lessening the uncertain- ty little by little. Many of these improve- ments are due to the ingenuity of Mr. II. M. Sheer, of Quincy, 111., who has devoted his time during the last two decades to in- creasing the efficiency of the incubator and brooder, and today through his efforts it is possible to increase the size of your hatch and effect a material .saving in the cost of incubator and brooder and the expense of operation. Mr. Sheer, incubator specialist for twenty years, has published a book of simple and explicit plans, showing you how to build a thoroughly practical and labor- saving incubator and brooder for yourself, besides telling many interesting and instruc- tive things about incubators and brooders. A "Hoosier" strain Barred Plymouth cockerel, winner at Indianapolis, Ind., February, 1908 Bred and owned by G. Earl Hoover, Box B, Matthews, Ind. Ill addition to the plans and instructions, the book contains illustrations and descriptions of numerous effective attachments which Mr. Sheer has invented for improving on Na- ture's way of hatching chickens. While the value of this book cannot be reckoned in dol- lars and cents, all that Mr. Sheer is asking for it is 2.5 cents — to our mind a small pri; e for such a valuable aid to poultry raisers. Mr. Sheer offers to return the money to any one who sends in 2.5 cents for the book and then is not thoroughly satisfied ; further, he allows any purchaser of the book to deduct the 25 cents from the first bill of supplies he may order. Thousands of the most suc- cessful poultrymen in the country have built their incubators according to Mr. Sheer's? plans, and we believe it will more than pay those of our readers who are interested in poultry raising to obtain this book. A Poultryman's Necessity. According to men who know — poultry- keepers who are practi(!al and successful - there is nothing of greater value in the feed room than a good, easy- working, al- ways-ready bone cutter. Cut green bnnc, freshly cut of course, is as nmch part of the regular ration as corn, Consequently the necessity of the machine. Many may claim to be good, but there is (juite a difference in construction and ease of operation and this is most apjtartiit when one is familiar with tiic Crown Hone Cutter, made by Wilson Uros., Box M54, Easton.

MORRIS HE cursory articles on e<^^' produc- tion and sex-control were not in- tended to land any on the top of an inaccessible peak, to wait there until liyin^r machines were perfected, _ . so that a rescue could be made, nor was it expected that fanciers in Uncle Sam's domain and across the line in Canada, would now be at- temptin*'^sent to our readers the remarks made upon the subject and also the open discussion which took place between Mr. llolden and some of the other members. This has been taken by us from the printed "Proceedings of the American Poultry Association at the 33d Annual fleeting." It is a book of 212 pages containing the entire proceedings of the meeting including all lectures, debates, etc. It has just been received from the printers by Secre- tary Kimmey and is being distributed to members. Our inability to get at an earlier date, the matter which we present herewith, is an apology for giving it to readers so long after the meeting. This fact, however, will not make it any less interesting. — (Editor.) President Bryant : The next business before the convention is a discussion, "How to Secure More Uniformity in .Judging." Mr. David A. Nichols, one of the speakers assigned, is not here, conse- quently there will be four speakers — ^Ir. ('ampbell, Mr. Holden, Mr. Smith and Mr. Rigg. The first speaker will be Mr. Campbell. ]\Ir. S. T. Cam[)bell: The subject of how to secure more uniformity in judging is something that should interest evervone who is interested in breeding, judging and exhibiting poultry. The Standard places symmetry first on the score card. This to me means more than any eight points in the entire scale, as eight points is allotted to symmetry. Sym- metry as defined by the Standard is the i)erfection of proportion, or the perfect assembling of all parts of a fowl. Should a bird be perfect in symmetry, according to my understanding, it would pass witli- out a cut. If it is cut one point in shape, it would accoi'dingly be cut one-fourth of a point in symme- try. M two points in shape, a half point in symme- try; and if four points in shape, one ])oint in sym- metry. T believe that this one word causi's more diversion of opinion among judges than any other that I know of in the entire Standard. However, judges do not agree, and each one has a right to his own oi)inion. Too few judges considei* this im- portant section: that is, they do not give to symme- try the im|)ortance that most of us believe it is entitled to. It seems to me that to cut for symmetry each bird in the show the same or half point, is not doing this important section justice. Would it not be just as well not to cut at all for symmetry. A bird may be good in head, neck, back and breast, and yet be knock-kneed or carry its tail at such an anyle that the svnniietrv of the specimcMi would be entirelv (h^stroved. The judge should be so familiar with the breeds and varieties on which he is called to nass that he could select them each from the other, providing their head, feet and legs were concealed from view. I was at a little poultry show last winter where a number of young men had been listening to poultry lectures for several weeks, and they imagined they knew the Plymouth Rock type from the Wyandotte and the Orpingtons, the Rhode Island Red and the Buckeyes. It was suggested that this scheme be adopted in order to test the students as to how much they really knew about type, and I will venture the opinion that a number of the newer judges, if placed in a show room and take, for instance, the White ^ 1 L .^^f^^imiL:^^^^^^^^^ L y i ^ m W /T • '^'^jA -'■.JL It- • R.

Wyandottes, White Plymouth Rocks and White Orp- ingtons, or the buffs of the same varieties, or the blacks, conceal the heads and legs, and they will have cpiite a job picking out the Plymouth Rocks from the other varieties. I believe that a good thing for the judges would be to have an international conference. It was my privilege to attend a conference something like three weeks ago with instructors aiul investigators in poultry husbandry. This took place at Cornell Pni versify. Those of us who had been breeding poultry for twenty-five years went there to find out just how little we knew, and we left Cornell with the opinion that we didn't know anything about poultiy husbandry and very little about how to ]-ear chicks, manage the incubators and so forth. Poultry judging should be regarded as a profes- sion, and I lielieve that we are on the right road now that will in time class us in that way. We should have a more fraternal feeling; good fellow- ship should ]U'evail; rpu^stions should be freely asked and answered. Judges are not as fraternal as they should be, in my opinion, for the reason that we visit a show, ami at the close of the show some visiting judge will pass around, looking over the pri/e wiiuie]"s. and say, "Well, that first prize win- gy/^.^ yr^i ■i»i^wf-<^'^. Page 36 ner should have been a))()ut fourth: this second bird shouldn't have had a ribbon at all." That is all wrono', and I believe a conference of the judges would do away with that feeling. This is a progres- sive age, an age of conferences, an age of organiza- tion, and the judges should be up to the times by conferencing ; and I will say right now that I would like to see here next vear at this Convention an international conference of judges, just to see how many judges we could get here; see if we could not get them to be more deeply interested in the American Poultrv Association affairs and establish a better feeling and more good fellowship among the judges. Both comparison and scoi'c card judging is popu- lar. The score card will alwavs be used for instruc- tion, I think, in the snudler shows, while in the larger shows comparison will have the preference. The ministers have the Bible for their book of law, yet all ministers do not agree. If they did, we would have a less luimber of churches and many of the good preachers would be engaged in a more profitable calling for them — perhaps in breeding poultry. Lawyers differ in the conception of the law. Therefore we consider that the judges have room to differ. If the lawyers did not disagree we would have fewer temples of justice and the attorneys would not be engaged in litigation. The Standard is the judge's book of law, and the judges, of course, should understand the Standard and how to properly apply it. We have shades of meaning as well as shades of color. As we were told yesterday, we have fifty shades of red. Now, it is a pretty difficult problem for judges to pass through the show room judging a variety or breed POULTRY FANCIER ^ February, 'OO. i.fi; j_. -I II ] lit i^i" " ■^ PARTRIDGE PLYMOUTH ROCK HEN Winner of first at Grand Rapids, Saginaw and Jackson and has never been beaten.

This means that if you wish to do business von must advertise. • February, '09 POULTRY FANCIER Uncle Isaac on Disqualifications By I. K. FELCH I for one would be glad to see every disqualification eliminated from the Standard, except perhaps a few liike crooked backs, wry tails, etc. I would also include crooked feet and knock knees. Then judges would fall straight back upon the Standard description for color and shape in each section and Standard weight. All breeds and va- rieties should have a Standard weight. Under the above conditions everything discovered by the judge which differed from Standard description would come in for a cut, which would be a fair per- centage according to the value of the defect. A bit of down between the toes w^hich neither mars the beauty nor af- fects the practical value of the bird would be cut from one-half to one point, merely to show that it was there. Some breeders and judges claim that it should disqualify, but tell me what use is there in disqualifying a 95 or 96-point bird because we find a de- fect similar to the above, which in no way whatever injures the worth of the fowl. It simply disqualifies a speci- men and gives the prize to a much less worthy one. Half of these minor de- fects are the result of generous care of the very specimen which the Stand- ard would destroy. Again a minute sea sand spattering in white fowls, which is the one sure tndication of their albino origin, in no w^ay inter- feres with their general appearance and does not affect their practical worth one iota. No breeder of common sense would declare them unworthy as first-class breeding stock, especially as the very purest colored and whitest fowls are generally the ones most likely to show this Albino reversion. To declare such as disqualified is to destroy the money value of any white race of fowls. If all defects were cut upon a common sense basis, none but the best birds would win. The Ameri- can Poultry Association should not be asked to protect a fool breeder who would breed really unworthy speci- mens. No defect, whether in a new or old breed, should be treated too lenient- ly or too severely, but good common sense should be used. The Standard is no place to receive mongrels in or der to develop them into thorough- breds. When a new breed can demon- strate its ability to breed 90 per cent of its kind in the image of its Stand- ard then is time enough to give it a place in the Standard of Perfection, where it should be treated in the same impartial way as is each and every other breed appearing therein. Any changes in the Standard which in any way diminish the money value of a fowl or prevents the breeder from selling a specimen at its full practical worth as breeding stock is not to the credit of the American Poultry Associa- tion or a protection to poultry culture, which is the avowed purposes and ob- jects of the association. The assertion that gray specks in the plumage of a white fowl are as objectionable as black, Page 41 is not tenable. The writer may as well say that a darker blue bar in a Barred Rock was just as objectionable as a black bar and thus disqualify the whole race of Barred Rocks, when the fact stands out clearly that a Brahma that has a bluish gray under color is always the whitest in surface color. It is the height of nonsense to kick against nature. Even the Buff breeds will sometimes show a bluish shading in under color. When these minor de- fects appear in any variety all we can consistently do is to cut for whatever percentage they may injure the speci- men and in accordance with the de- scription which we set up as perfec- tion. We have been years getting rid of these inconsistencies and the Stand- ard makers should not lose their heads and take to any back track to injure the money value of a breed as a whole. Natick. Mass.

Kline, Box 64, Downer's Grove, 111., has added another strong link to his already long chain of vic- tories. He exhibited two birds at the Indianapolis show and won first cock and first pullet in one of the best classes seen anywhere this season. Our readers will note by referring to his ad. in this issue that his White Wyandottes have a record which makes them unquestioned leaders. The best birds at Boston, Chicago, Indianapolis, Guelph. Can., and other strong shows have been the dominant feature in building up his strain, and his flocks are unexcelled by those of any breeder, east or west. He has not a poor bird in any of his breeding pens and his best specimens are not only clear white, but they possess true Wyan- dotte type. They are big, blocky birds, the kinds so hard to get, but which are absolutely necessary in order to win at he larger shows. His mating list gives full information in regard to his several breeding pens and quotes prices on stock and eggs. He will gladly send a copy free to all who write for it. We have seen and han- dled Mr. Kline's stock and have known it for years. We therefore recommend it fully to Pori/niv Fa.ncikr readers and suggest that they consider his claims for their patronage. He is ship- ping to customers the very highest quality in eggs, and he guarantees a good hatch. If you wish to raise some winners you can do it ])y securing eggs from his yards. • POULTRY FANCIER-C Page 43 Awards, Humeston, la., Dec. 1-5 LIST OF EXHIBITORS. Baltimore, Mitchell, Humeston, la.

A Leader in White Rocks Renders of Poii.tky Fan(Ii:i{ who in- tend to purchase White Rock eggs or stock for their breeding pens and who are in doubt about where to place their orders will find their doubts gone if they glance through the new cata- logue of H. W. Halbach, Box 7, Water- ford. Wis. Mr. Halbach will send a copy free to all who write for it. It is filled with handsome pictures of his l)rize-winning birds and contains full information in regard to his strain of White Rocks and his matings this sea- son. It also gives prices of eggs from each of his ten ])reeding yards and describes the individual birds from which he is selling eggs. It is one of the handsomest and most interesting catalogues issued by any breeder this season, and every lover of White Plymouth Ro:'ks should have a copy. The Halbach strain has for years been a leader and has repeatedly carried away the highest honors at Chicago and other big shows. Breeders every- where are familiar with these facts, and some of the leading ones owe much of their success to stock and eggs secured from Mr. Halbach 's yards. He positively guarantees to make good every promise and to give each customer a square deal. We have yet to hear the first complaint against him and, on the other hand, we know of scores of cases where his customers have received greater value than they paid for. His policy is a liberal one in all resi)ects, and he has the quality in his birds which enables him to maintain it in all cases. What we say about him and his stock is from an in- timate personal acquaintance with both. We suggest to our White Rock readers that they get a copy of Mr. Halbach's catalogue. His address is H. W. Hal- bach, Box 7. Waterford, Wis. PW AMPIOM QTP AIM ^'^^ Big Winner* at the late ChicaKO and Detroit Shows.

Latham Still in the Lead There is one Barred Plymouth Rock breeder who is going to have a lot of pleased customers again this season and who will in this way get a Stronger hold on the leadership with this variety. We refer to C. H. T^atham, Box PF, Lancaster, Mass. Even Mr. Latham's strongest competi- tors acknowledged years ago that his female line was the best that skill could produce, and he has repeatedly proven this by his winnings at New York, Boston and other large shows, which have been supplemented by the record of his customers in all sections of the country at big and little shows and in competition with birds of all leading strains. These facts are mat- ters of general knowledge to all who are familiar with conditions in the Barred Rock field. After perfecting his female line in this way, he direct- ed his attention to his male line with the same intelligent determination, and similar success has attended his efforts. Some of his first prize male birds have been models for type and standard barring of plumage. He has a larger number of top-notch speci- mens in his yards this season than ever before, and his matings have been made with the same knowledge and care that have made him so suc- cessful in the past. Readers of Poultry Fancier who expect to pur- chase eggs for hatching should care- fully consider giving Mr. Latham a trial. He can be depended upon to do just as he agrees and to send eggs from just the matings he promises. The eggs can also be depended upon to produce satisfactory results, and, as above stated, he is going to have a lot of pleased customers again this season. He answers correspondence promptly and fully, and our readers will In every way find it a pleasure to do business with him. Address him, C. H.

Readers will find in it each month a number of interesting offers. Buyers should not fail to note them carefully. It is a pleasure to refer readers of Poul- try Fancier to breeders such as J. C. Mit- chem, Marshalltown, Iowa, who has a na- tional reputation for breeding some of the best Buff Cochins that have ever been pro- duced. Mr. Mitchem has certainly succeeded in bringing his variety up to the highest point of excellence. He never fails to win the bulk of the prizes whenever he shows his birds and his customers are uniformly successful with stock or eggs which they pur- chase from him. He has some of the best birds in his breeding pens this season that he ever raised and is offering eggs at ex- tremely low prices W. A. Bonner, Box .500, Casnovia, Mich., proprietor of Casnovia Poultry Yards, asks us to announce to our readers that his price on eggs for hatching remains the same this season, namely $3 per 1,5, although his breed- ing pens of Buff Rocks and Rose Comb R. I. Reds are the best he ever owned and his continued victories in the show room this season attest the fact that there are no better birds anywhere than those in his yards. We know the quality of his stock and can recommend it in highest terms. « Partridge Cochin fanciers can procure what they want in eggs for hatching from Dr. H. F. Ballard, Chenoa, 111., who is one of the old breeders of this variety. His birds have been winners in nearly all the leading central western shows for the past 27 years, including Bloomington, Peoria, Decatur, Springfield, Danville and Wenona. His prices are very reasonable. Write to him for what you want. Watson W\ Bower, Geneva, O., is selling eggs from his best pens of R. C. Rhode Island Reds at $2 per 15, $3 per 30. These are bargain prices considering the high quality of Mr. Bower's stock. .T. W. Kearney, Mattoon, 111., has six yards of grand Barred Plymouth Rocks mated for the egg trade this season. Three of his yards are mated for pullets and three for cockerels. Two of his cockerel pens are headed by prize winning cock birds and the other is headed by a cockerel which Judge Fite stated was the best he had seen during the past season. Mr. Kearney's females score as high as 93 1/^ by Pierce. He has a few breeding birds for sale as well as eggs for hatching. F. C. Greenwald, R. F. D. 7, Adrian, Mich., has reduced his prices this month on eggs for hatching. He breeds Light Brah- mas, Pekin Ducks and White China Geese. He is in position to fill both large and small orders promptly and he guarantees satis- faction or money refunded. His ad appears upon another page. C. F. Livingstone, Carpentersville, 111., has issued a mating List this season which will prove of interest to our readers who expect to purchase S. C. Brown leghorns or eggs for hatching. Mr. Livingstones list shows that his breeding yards contain some of the best birds in the West and that his cus- tomers are sure to get more than value received when they send him their orders. We wish to call attention of readers to the ad of O. L. Prouty, Box 115, New Lothrop, Mich., who is one of the leading breeders of Partridge Plymouth Rocks. Mr. Prouty's birds are really all that he claims them to be and he is in position to make good to the fullest extent in filling orders for stock and eggs of highest quality. He has been a prominent winner at leading shows and some of his birds have never been beaten. « Bennett & Matthews. Box (>3, Galena. Ohio, are offering extra value in Silver Wyandottes and Silver Spangled Hamburgs at prices far below those usually charged for stock and eggs of equal quality. These breeders have demonstrated by their record in the show room that their birds have no superiors. They are offering eggs this sea.son from some of the best birds they ever bred and our readers who favor them with orders will be more than pleased. R. A. Daw.son, New Haven. Ohio, has an iul in this issue of Poi'ltry Fancikr and is offering eggs for hatching at a reasonable price from some extra choice R. C. R. I. Reds. The birds in his breeding pens score from 92 to 94 Vj points. The male bird heading his first pen is a remarkably fine specimen which Mr. Dawson claims is the greatest color producer he ever saw. Some of his females are also winners at leading shows. W. E/ Agnew, 623 Oak St., Kalamazoo, Mich., has some special bargains in stock. He breeds Buff and Black Cochin Bantams and his birds have won this season at some of the leading shows. Those of our readers who are interested in these varieties should not fail to write Mr. Agnew for prices. « Fred P. Biederwolf, Box 7, Monticello, Ind., is closing out all of his S. C. White Leghorns as his other business requires his entire time and attention. He must dispose of his fiock quickly and he is, therefore, putting prices on the birds that are much below their real value and which will move them quickly. This is really an exceptional opportunity for White Leghorn breeders to get some remarkably fine birds. Many of Mr. Biederwolf's best birds will score from 95 to 96 points and he can furnish score cards by leading judges. Breeders who will be in the market this season for an incubator or brooder should not fail to write to H. E. Hoak, Ligonier, Ind., for a copy of their catalog. The machines made by this firm possess individual features which will appeal strongly to all breeders who know what good machines should be and who have had poor success with poorly con- structed ones. The prices of the Hoak in- cubators and brooders are really lower than could be expected for high-grade machines, but the Company is making this concession to buyers in order to increase their already large business and gain new friends and customers. » Tazewell Poultry Yards, Pekin, 111., are offering eggs for hatching this season at $1.50 and $2 per 15 from their prize winning Single Comb Buff Leghorns. These prices are extremely low, considering the quality of the birds making up the breeding pens at Tazewell Poultry Yards. We suggest to our Buff Leghorn readers that they write for the mating list and show record before placing their orders elsewhere. Breeders of Partridge Wyandottes should write to C. L. & L. S. Greer, Zion City, 111., for a copy of their mating list. This firm is one of the leaders in Partridge Wyandottes and have produced birds scoring as high as 94 points by well known judges. Their breeding pens this season contain some of the best specimens to be found in the West and their egg customers will be more than plea.'jed with results. W^e take pleasure in specially recommend- ing to our readers, Mr. N. H. Close, Eureka, 111., who is well known as a breeder of Col- umbian Wyandottes. His strain is noted for exhibition excellence and heavy laying. At the present time he is disposing of a special lot of extra good breeding birds, all of which score above 91 points. He furnishes a score Page 49 card with each bird and the stock he is olfering is good enough to place in any breed- er's yards. He is also selling eggs from his choicest exhibition pens at reasonable prices. When writing him mention having seen this notice in Poultry Fancier. Breeders of Rhode Island Reds will find much to interest them in the new catalog of Walter Sherman, Cliffside, Newport, R. I. Mr. Sherman is one of the oldest breeders of Rhode Island Reds in America and his birds are acknowledged by breeders every where to be most excellent specimens in every respect. His fowls have been bred with a view to heavy egg production as well as Standard points and his flocks are so large he has no trouble in filling orders for eggs for hatching, promptly upon their receipt. We would suggest to our readers that they write to him for a copy of his catalog, men- tioning this notice in Poultry Fancier, We want to call the special attention of our readers to the ad of W. T. Wilkinson, Box 15 G, East Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. Wilkinson breeds White Plymouth Rocks and Houdans. His birds have been prominent winners in some of the largest Western shows and he has time and again demonstrated the superiority of his strains. His birds are not only of the highest exhibition excellence, but they are remarkable layers and will satisfy the strongest utility cranks. He belongs to that class of breeders who are in position to furnish just what they advertise and who also have an earnest desire to treat every customer fairly with a view to securing ad- ditional orders from him. It is a pleasure to recommend such breeders as Mr. Wilk- inson and we respectfully refer our readers to him for what they may want in stock or eggs of his varieties. Geo. H. Rudy, Mattoon, 111., is making a strong effort to secure a large egg trade this season and has mated up ten grand pens containing his winners. Mr. Rudy is coming to the front fast as a breeder of White Wyandottes. He has one of the best farms in Southern Illinois and is as nicely equipped to give his breeding stock every possible ad- vantage as any breeder in the country. If you buy eggs for hatching from Mr. Rudy you are sure to get them from as high class stock as any one breeds and which will produce vigorous chicks. Do not fail to get his free mating list giving his winnings at the leading shows and fully describing his many pens. « In this issue of Poultry Fancier appears the ad of H. W. Lankford, Box H, Win- chester, 111., a very successful breeder of White Wyandottes. He has been breeding this variety for a good many years and has succeeded in perfecting a strain which can be relied upon to reproduce its good qualities. His birds are of true Wyandotte shape pure white to the skin, clear yellow legs and good eyes. Mr. Lankford does not breed a large number and therefore culls very closely and breeds only from the choicest. Consequently a bird or egg from his yards has the quality that will produce winners. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS. The reading rooms of the Huron Ontario Association will be open each evening through the mating season and until June 10th. Breeders are invited to send to the secretary, copies of their catalogs, circulars and other printed matter. These will be placed upon the reading tables in the associa- tion's rooms and will be read by the reading public who are interested in poultry. Our advertisers who send their printed matter, as above stated, may secure several orders for stock and eggs. Communications should be addres.sed to M. C.

The White Wyan- dotte class was the hottest and largest in the show and these winnings are all the more valuable as evidence of the high quality of Mr. Barkdoll's stock. He has eight grand pens mated this season from which he will sell eggs at $2 per setting. He has bred White Wyandottes for years and is an ac- knowledged leader in this variety. I. W. Mole, Box 41, Roosevelt, L. I., N. Y., has been very successful in the show room this year with his Buff Rocks. He does not breed for numbers but for qual- ity. At three New York shows this season he won twelve firsts, twelve seconds, two thirds, one fourth and five specials on 28 entries, winning special at Richmond Hill, N. Y., on the best Buff bird in the show. This cockerel heads one of his pens this year. At the Monmouth, 111., show last month m a hot class of Buff Wyandottes, H. E. Bates, Galesburg, 111., won 1st cock, 1st and 2nd hens, 1st and 2nd cockerels, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th pullets and 1st pen. Mr. Bates will have all of these birds as well as other high scoring specimens in his breeding yards this season, and this is the kind of stock from which his customers will get eggs for hatching. His birds are really as good as can be found anywhere in the United States and his customers are assured of something extra fine at a reasonable price. His ad. appears elsewhere in this issue. Mrs. S. A. Hawk, Rte. 3, Box 12, Charl- ton, Iowa, made an excellent record at the Fairfield show on her Cornish Indian Games, she winning a majority of first prizes, includ- ing the American Cornish Club's specials. She has a reputation for breeding the high- est quality of stock and pleasing all her customers. We have no hesitancy in rec- ommending her to our readers who are in- terested in her variety. She gives prompt attention to all orders and corespondence. 9 A. S. & E. Hileman, Monessen, Pa., are of- fering stock and eggs for sale that will surely please all breeders who are inter- ested in S. C. Buff Orpingtons and Barred Rocks. They have eight fine yards mated for the egg trade this season. Their birds have won many prizes in strong competition, in- cluding four silver cups this season. Their ad. appears elsewhere in this issuse, T. J. Reveley, East Haven, Conn., made one of the best records in the East this sea.son, outside of the Boston show. He won 8 first prizes, 8 seconds and four thirds at West Haven, Meriden and Hartford shows. These prizes were won on his superior strain of Houdans. J. J. Hackett, Box 8. Tuscola, 111., who has been breeding Barred Rocks for the past ten years, has succeeded in producing a strain that wins the lion's share of the prizes wherever his birds are exhibited. At the recent Decatur, 111., show he won twice as many prizes on Barred Rock males as any other exhibitor. He has some extra fine stock for sale at the present time and is selling eggs from his choicest matings at very reasonable prices. Naumburg & Booth, 1532 W. Bancroft St., Toledo, Ohio, have strong claims upon our readers who expect to purchase stock or eggs for hatching of either S. C. White Leghorns or White Wyandottes. This firm really has some of the best birds in the West. At the recent Sylvania, Ohio, show they won every first prize on S. C. White Leghorns in addition to two seconds and two thirds. They also won a number of specials includ- ing silver cup for highest scoring pen. They won a number of the best regular prizes on White Wyandottes including special for high- est scoring bird in the show and for the whit- est bird in the show, all varieties competing. They are certainly in position to give their customers stock or eggs for hatching. One of the most successful breeders of S. C. R. I. Reds is .J. T. Donaghey, Box 117. No. Freedom, Wis. He has made a remark- able record at some of the leading Western shows this season under some of the leading judges of the West. At the Baraboo Val- our readers who intend to purchase stock or eggs of this variety, K. I. Miller, Box 25, Lancaster, Mo., won 1st and 3rd and 2nd cockerel in the Light Brahma class at Kansas City last month. At the Centerville, la., show in a class of 38 birds, four exhibitors, he won 3 firsts, 2 seconds and 1 third. He is selling eggs from six grand pens of highest quality. His ad. appears in Poultry Fancier. One of the best records made on Single Comb White Leghorns this season is the one of Harvey H. Hartman at New Albany, Ind., where in a class of 75 high quality birds he won 1st cock, 1st, 2nd and 3rd cockerels, 1st and 2nd pullets, 1st and 2nd pen and silver cup for highest scoring pen of solid colored birds in the show ; also National Single Comb White Leghorn Club ribbons for best cock, cockerel, pullet and pen ; also 13 special premiums. At the Ken- tucky State Show at Louisville he also won 3rd cock, 2nd cockerel, 3rd pullet and 2nd pen His record is really a remarkable one and leaves no doubt as to the superior quality of his White Leghorns. He will gladly HOMER PIGEONS Sixteen racing homers with records of from 1 00 to 1 000 miles. Each one of them having won from 1 to 10 prizes either in races or show room. They are owned by C. G. i-ocber, Milwaukee, Wis. who also breeds some of the best White Wyandottes in the West. ley show he won all firsts, American Class Cup and R. I. Red Club Cup ; also $10 spe- cial for the ten highest scoring birds in the show. This is ample evidence of the high quality of his R. I. Reds. Hi.s prices for high-grade stock and eggs are reasonable and we suggest to our readers that they get in touch with him before placing their or- ders elsewhere. A. S. French, Flushing, Mich., solicits the business of Poultry Fancier readers and really has strong claims for their patronage. He breeds S. and R. C. Rhode Island Reds and his birds have won at Boston. Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis and other shows. His price for eggs for hatching is remarkably reasonable and the quality of his stock is the highest. His ad. may be found elsewhere in this issue. One of our advertisers who has strong claims for patronage of Poultry Fancier readers is L. C. Bonfoey, Box F, Mt. Vernon, Conn. Mr. Bonfoey has a national reputa- tion as a breeder of White Rocks and he needs no special introduction. We call at- tention, however, to the fact that he is still downing competition at America's leading shows and is maintaining his record as one of the leaders in his field. At the Boston show this season he won more firsts and special prizes on White Rocks than all his competitors combined. He has an Interesting mating list which he will send free to all applicants. His ad. which appears upon an- other page should be read carefully by all send a copy of his circular to all applicants. It will prove of interest to our readers who expect to purchase White Leghorn stock or eggs this season.

Nebr., demonstrated their ability to win in the hottest competition in the west by be- ing in the winning at the recent Kansas City and Lincoln shows. At the Kansas City show in what the judges reported was the hot- test class of Silvers ever seen in the west, Mr. Schmidt's birds won 2nd pullet and 4th pen. At the Lincoln show he won 1st hen, 1st and 3rd pullet, 2nd cock with only lour birds entered. His first pullet at this show was a wonder and its excellence was frequently commented upon by judges and visitors. Mr. Schmidt informs us that his surplus stock is all sold but that he has some excellent matings from which to sup- ply the egg trade. Look up his ad. Among the most successful breeders of Rose Comb Rhode Island Reds in the South- west may be mentioned Virgil Blakemore, Fayette, Mo., whose birds have been winning right along in the foremost shows of that section. For three years in succession he has won the state cup offered by the Rhode Island Red Club of America. At the Mis- souri State Fair, 1908, he won 1st and 2nd cock, 1st and 2nd pullet and 1st pen. At the big Missouri State Show held at Trenton, he won 1st, 2iid and 5th cock, 1st 2nd and 3rd cockerel, 1st and 2nd hen, 1st and 2nd pullet. 1st pen, all club shape and color specials, A. P. A.

Red State cup for be.st display and A. P. A. and club spe- cials. His birds are exceptionally strong in color and shape and are good enough to go In the very fastest company. Look up his ad. and in writing to him mention that you saw his ad. in Poultry Fancier. At the recent Minneapolis, Minn., show, ,J. E. Schutte, Lebanon, S. Dak., breeder of S. C.

A LAPHAM WINNER It is easy enough to claim the earth for our birds, but it is quite difficult to produce the stock and make the record that will convince the public of the truth of our claims. One of the leading fanciers who have come nearest to accomplishing both results is Mr. S. D. Lapham, Box F, Dearborn, Mich. There has never been a time in his long experience as a breeder of Buff Plymouth Rocks when he has had to take a back seat as regards prestige raises as many birds as Mr. Lapham or who sells as many prize winners and breeding birds that produce win- ners. It is a pleasure to us and it is due Mr. Lapham as an intelligent, suc- cessful breeder to place him so promi- nently before our readers. We have no hesitancy in doing it, because we know that he can and will please every reader of Poiltry Fancier who buys a bird or an egg from him. He usually has from ten to twelve breeding yards The above cut is of the first prize Buff Rock Cockerel at Dearborn, Mich., this season, score 93)4 by Tucker. He is a grand bird, practically clear buff and is typical of lue Buff Rocks bred by S. D. Lapham, Box F, Dearborn, Mich. This bird will head one of Mr. Lapham's pen this season and quality of his flocks. Year after year he and his customers have shown his Gold Medal strain in strongest competition, both east and west, and the result has always been the same. His birds never fail to give a good account of themselves, and it is very generally accepted in the Buff Rock fraternity that "if you get them from Lapham they are all right." We know of no other Buff Rock breeder who mated for the egg trade, and every bird in them is a choice specimen which any breeder would be glad to own. He has just issued his annual catalogue for this season, which tells all about his birds, their records, his matings, prices, etc. Every one who is in any way interested in Buff Rocks should get a copy of this catalogue. It may be obtained free by writing to S. D. Lapham, Box F, Dearborn, Mich. Light Brahmas At Kansas City, Mo., Jan. '09, we won 1st and 3d pullet and 2d cockerel on four entries; at Centerville, la. Dec. '08, we won 3 firsts, 2 seconds and 1 third, 2 spec- ials and silver Cup in a class of 38 shown by four exhibitors. EGGS from 6 ffrand llr*30. ^ar?uIa7Fr?e.^^^^ KINEY I.

Black Wyandotte Club of America. The Black Wyandotte Club of America was organized at Madison S for symmetry the owner had a fit and fell into it. I explained to him my reasons for such a heavy cut, and made notation on card opposite symmetry column "Tail carried too high." The fact that the tail was of good shape should not in my estimation suffer because it is not carried at the proper angle inasmuch as the carriage did not spoil the shape of it. A leading judge was a guest at my home during the Wisconsin State Fair, where he offlciated as judge, and in his opinion thought that I should not have cut that way, but rather cut 1 for symmetry and M» for tail shape, but I firmly contend that where tail retains its shape in a case of this kind it should not suffer a cut. As this is a personal matter and would like to have it treated that way, I would be plea.sed if you can spare a little of your valuable time and inform me your candid opinion as to whether I was, or am, justified in making a cut as outlined above. I would like to see the symmetry question brought up through the columns of your valuable paper and ascertain the opinion of the judges and perhaps in this way we may come closer together in our cuts and apply the 8 points allotted to symmetry properly and correctly. Answer — We do not believe that symmetry THE BEST BOOK ON SUCCESS WITH POULTRY IS 999 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS By FRANK HECK Page 53 | or typical carriage or any similar section should have a place upon the score card. We do not believe that a tail for instance can be perfect in shape if it is carried too high, and we therefore, think that the cut should be for shape instead of carriage. There may be nothing wrong in the shape of the tail to the eye of the observer, but there is something wrong with the anatomy of the fowl where the tail joins the back and therefore, the cut should be for shape. We, of course, apply the symmetry section of the score card in judging when we feel that there is occasion to use it, but do so simply because the American Poultry Asso- ciation score card demands it. According to your line of reasoning the cut of tail should have been from a point to a point and a half. The only difference between us in the matter would be the section in which to place the cut. We do not see how the judge you refer to could divide the matter up as he does, provided he would agree that the shape of the tail was perfect. In this case the cut should be all for symmetry or all for shape of tail. Question — What are the best feather pro- ducing foods. How may an extra pound be put on show specimens quickly? What are some of the best ways of mating to produce exhibition Columbian Wyandotte cockerels? What is a good preparation to polish legs of show specimens? Answer — There is really no food which possesses sufficient definite value in growing feathers to produce any noticeable results. There are some articles, which, from the standpoint of scientific reasoning ought to be especially helpful in this respect and perhaps they are, but, as above stated, the results are exceedingly slight as compared with ordinary articles of food. Sunflower seed and oil meal are good foods for grow- ing feathers during the moulting season, ine only way to add an extra pound to show specimens is to feed them heavily of fat- tening foods and at the same time keep them in good health and their digestive organs in good condition. You can accomplish greatest results by giving the birds any good tonic every day or two and feeding them in small quantities, using appetizing foods of a fat- tening nature. To give you any helpful in- formation relative to mating Columbian Wyandottes would require a lengthly article. The subject has been fully touched upon in past numbers of Poultry Fancier. As good a preparation as you can get for polishing the legs of the birds is ordinary sweet oil. The leg at first should be thoroughly clean. The oil should be placed upon the legs, rubbed in and polished with a chamois. « Question — In regard to the paragraph in the Standard covering lopped combs in rose comb varieties, has a comb got to obstruct the sight before it is a disqualification? Answer — A rose comb which falls over to one side is a disqualification. A rose comb which is so large as to obstruct the sight is also a di.squalification. A comb may be large enough to obstruct the sight without falling over to one side. It can be so large that it is still fiat on the head and both edges extending down over the eyes as is sometimes seen in Red Caps. This kind of a comb and the comb referred to by the Standard as falling over to one side are two dift'erent kinds of combs, both of which are disqualifi- cations. By considering the wording of the Standard, strictly as it is punctuated this is the only meaning that can be placed upon it, although the question raised by you is occasionally presented. THE author claims and proves that this book contains information upon a greater variety of subjects than any book on poultry ever written.

ILL., MARCH, 1909 No. 3 The True Color of Barred Rocks One of the Old Veterans Who Helped to Make the Breed, Criticises the Present Standard Description and Suggests Improvement By 1. K. FELCH HAVE no doubt that Barred Rock ))reeder.s nearly all agree upon what is perfect color, but they cannot agree ui)on the description of that color. That which the Standard describes as grayish white, I say, should be called bluish gray. In other words, the color known as tlie base color is a white, grayed by blue pigment. This description, "bluish gray," should never have been changed. The bai'ring of such a feather is all right if they will live up to the Standard. Should they do that we would have the dark bars (as in the orig- inal), a dark bar, a clear stone-colored shade of blue that was darkei- than the base color on which is striped oi- ])arred. Study your Standard — this (lark bar must not be black: it nnist not have a me- tallic sheen or gloss: it nuist not be brown. If it nnist not be any of this, what must it be if not a dai'ker shade of, and the kindred color of, the bluish gray, which is a dark stone color as described in fabrics.' These two shades in the plumage nuist be there to give the general bluish gray tinge to the plumage de- manded by the Standard. Now, the Standard is all right if the judges will live up to it and get rid of this nonsense in regai'd to the ]dumage being barred to the skin. What we want is pei'fect surface coloi* as described by the Standard. Leave the under-tlufV to be bluish gray oi- bluish gray lightly barred as in the web — -the t^mooth web of the feather barred in five oi- more Yuu^s — the HufTy portion so long as it be bluish gray, tlu' barring of it immntei'ial. When this nonsense of making under-color the paramount considei-ation in judging is tuiMU'd down, cutting positive white and coaf black with e(|ual severity, then we will have left the color described by the Standard, and when pun* Standnrd description is lived up to, then Plym- outh Kocks can be bred both sexes from the s?nne pair, as large a percent to score 92 or more as today we have in Brahmas. A washed-out too-light col- ored pullet is just as faulty as black snuitty cock- erels. The first-class breeder will mate so that his "^waisters, " as our English cousins term them, should come more largely from the males than from the females, for we can better spare them because they lay no eggs. The trouble comes to us breeders here. The double maters demand premiums upon black barred on nearly blue ground color. Look at the birds that are winning in most of the comparison shows. They are not Standard color. Any novice can breed them. It is the easiest matter in the world to mate a black barred cockerel to dark hens and get these black barred specimens by the million, but their sisters are Ethio[)ians in color, worthless for breeders or for exhibition, worth meat prices only. When judges will live squarely up to the Standard then can the breeders single mate and please their patrons. Then males of pure Standard color will win and sell for twice what the winners do today, for thev will be valuable as breeders as well as exhibi- « tion specimens. Mr. Fell, in his articles in Poultry Fancier, is put- ting up facts for readers. The Brown Leghorn has deteriorated in worth, beauty and has fallen off in number ever since the adoption of deeply strij)ed hackle and saddle of males became Standard de- mand. The moment the Standard demands double inating for any breed they knif(» the breed and dam- age the breeders of such breeds. The intimation that double mating is more scientific and an advance in poultry culture is far-fetched. The fact is the op- posite. To so handle a bi'eed as to secure both males and females to fill Standard demand from the one pair or pen is the art and science of breeding. When our judges so act as to nud to call a ludt. Double mating and Standard making that forces breeders to consider the judges or exhibitors to coerce judges to father their whims and ideals in- stead of the Standard description, then is when th(^ knife is feeling the vitals of a breed and sacrifices the right of breeders loyal to Staudard law.

Among the many cases which have been presented to us is the one we give to ur readers herewith. We publish in full the letter received from the breeder who exhibited the birds but for various reasons the names of the shows and the judges are withheld. The variety exhibited was Brown Leghorns. The breeder writes as follows : Editor Poultry Fancier. — I enclose you record of birds as scored and placed by six different judges at six poultry show^s, Nov. 14, 1908 to Feb. 20, 1909. Suppose that I receive an order for a good hen, typical shape, good size, good layer and a tried breeder, and should offer hen No. 2 for $10.00 (would not sell her for any price now), and send with her score card from show No. 5, showing 941/2 and the purchaser should ask for her score card from show No. 3, showing 88%. What would he think of my good hen? There are quite a number of other differences in the record on the various birds. With a record like this, I or any other breeder can advertise high scoring birds, sell same as such and furnish proof, but if some judge whose opinion might agree with the low score card of same bird should score the ])ird for the l)uyer, would it not make trouble? It might be claimed by some that the condition of the birds varied at times of scoring, ])ut such is not the case. From a careful study of the collection of scoi-es on my birds.

This was a comparison show and one of the big western ones. Cock No. 2 was awarded second in a class of two birds, cockerel No. 1 was first in a class of four, the prizes received on hens were awarded in a class of ten and the pullet class also contained ten birds. The most noticeable dif- ference in the scores is found by comparing the work of the judges at shows 3 and 5 and particu- larly in the case of hen No. 1 where the difference is 5% points. The scores given by judge No. 3 who is a well known western judge are much lower than any of the others although they range within one to two points of judge No. 1 whose scores are also much lower than those of Nos. 2, 4 and 5. The scores of judges 2, 4 and 5 are so close together that their work would be practically uniform if it were done at the same time and under the same condi- tions. Judge No. 6 who handled the comparison show would undoubtedly score the birds about the same as Nos. 2, 4 and 5 in view of the prizes given the specimens. Judges 1 and 3 are in classes by themselves with No. 3 so far away from the rest that it is fair to assume that his judgment is faulty in placing the scores so low. There is a question we would like to ask judges who take the stand that greater uniformity "Silver Princess," Second prize Silver Wyandotte Pullet at the big Kansas City fhow, 1909, in competition with ihe best in ihe west. Bred and owned by P. J. Schmidt, Gilead, Neb. in judging cannot be secured, i. e., don't you think that these six judges could get closer together in their ideas if they were to meet and handle the birds and give their reasons for their cuts on the score card. If they could not or would not arrive at a more harmonious adjustment of their ideas with each other, should there not be some governing body like the American Poultry Association to force them closer together? Does not common decency and jus- tice to exhibitors entitle them to better service?

GREER S one of the great body of exhibitors whose money goes to support the poultry shows I should like to say a few words regarding the article which appeared on page 35 of the February number of Poultry Fancier, me the characterization "surprising ad- is none too strong ; indeed, coming as it does from men prominent as poultry judges and leaders in poultry matters generally, they would not only be surprising but startling if true. Personally I do not see how the positions taken by these eminent judges can be endorsed by poultry judges generally. The people who are putting money and time into the fancy poultry business are entitled to better service than two of these judges seem to think pos- sible. Judge Campbell seems to have some hope of bet- tering conditions through a conference of judges. He says the subject of more uniformity in judging should interest every breeder, judge and exhibitor of ])()ultry. while Messrs. Holden and Ri gg seem to One of the besl S. C.

Bennett, Canton, III. think that absolutely useless, Mr. Holden saying he does not think, no matter what the conditions, we can come much nearer uniformity than at present. and again, that the difference is said to be from 1 to 4 points. IVIr. Rigg says, in effect that if the birds are not all alike the judges cannot be expected to judge uni- formly. This is the puzzle of the whole series of ad- dresses. If the birds were "uniform" what good would judging them do? There would be no incen- A prominent Rose Comb Rhode Island Red winner typical of the kind of stock bred by Virgil Blakemore, Fayette, Mo. five 1<» (^xhibit, as no one would win and no one lose. The (juestion of vital importance to the breeder is to ascertain how much the specimen falls short of the desired standard. They are not uniform and the judge's duty is to indicate just how^ much they lack in each section. It is reasonable to expect a judge to do this, especially when he carries a license from the American Poultry Association, and it is reason- able to expect any number of such judges to judge the same specimen under the same conditions within 1 or 2 points of each other, probably a little nearer than 2 points on an average. Judge Campbell's argument of the ministers and lawyers does not hold good in this case. The judg- ing of poultry by judges all licensed by the same as- sociation is not a "go as you please" proposition. Too many judges have a sort of "go it alone" idea, failing to remember that they are simply one of a body of men who represent the American Poultry Association and that other members of the same body are handling the same and similar specimens and their decisions must be uniform in fairness to the man making their vocation possible, viz., the ex- hibitor. Judge Holden says in some of his writings that a Partridge Wyandotte female's back should be the ;^.':b^/,^.^VN--'V>.''A!V/'.V4.g f -- -pig; 68 " >P0UL.TRY FANCIER^ ..f,^^jj.-^^->t..-'>A'.vV-^'>^v.A<"J; March, '09 ■■-''-"■ ^ -» -:',V-. ■^Tf.-iaV.'i-;^ c'oloi- of a "briulit hny horse," while the Standard sfjvs ''iHMhooaiiv red" oi* "i-eddish brown."

That point can be settled and there can be no good reason for the American Poultry Association not settling it one wav or the other. There is no question that the judges do not see things alike but that they can understand the mean- ing of the wording of the Staiulai'd alike is also a fact. Let the great American Poultry Association in- struct men in the science of judging— not simply li- cense them because they have been judging for some years, but insti-uct them and recpiii'e them to ])ass an examination which only entitles them to a license Avhen they can ])roperly interpret the wording of the Standard and score birds to within a given luimber of points or fraction thereof of what the instmu^tor determines to be correct. Let them every one l)e re- quired to do this and why will their judging not be more uniform? If any cannot do it let license l)e withheld until he can. If he judges let hhn do so without an A. P. A. license. It is a farce for the A. P. A. to say to the poultiy associations throughout the country through its licenses that men are qualified to place awards who themselves admit they cannot judge uniformly but maintain that uniformity is an impossibility. The officers of the A. P. A. evidently think more uniformity possible or the discussion would not have been invited. As to seeing alike and the 50 shades of red, we would suggest in all sincerity that judges, whose woi-k has to do with colors largely, should be re- quired to pass a color blind examination. Many railroads will not permit their men who handle sig- nals to work until they have passed such an exami- nation, and they find some who cannot distinguish ])etween red and yellow. As to mechanical eyes — well, I submit if a man cannot apply that section of the Standard and admits it he should ])e honest enough not to try to fill the exacting position of a poultry judge at $65.00 or $75.00 per week. It is not right to take the money. As to it being a question of men's judgment differ- ing— in all reason, why should a man be given an A. P. A. license to judge if his judgment is off? Judgment is the very thing needed, and if it dif- fers from what it should be and one differs from another, they are worse than useless — they are mis- leading. The statement often made that no judge would dare to score a fowl twice the same day is pure bosh, and a man who cannot do it should have his license cancelled. There are judges who do not re- fuse to rescore birds and explain just why every cut is made and where the improvement could be made and their scores of the same bird will average within a point or so of each other. Let us get down to business, and if there are any Black Orpington Hen, winner of third as pullet at Boston, '08 and second as hen at Boston, '09. Bred and owned by W. E. Mathews, Norwich, Conn. men with A. P. A. licenses who cannot score a fowl with accuracy they have no right to such license. Let us get to where an A. V. A. license will mean something. Let us advance. The membership of the A. P. A. should be double what it is. Who examined all the licensed judges and what was their ''average grade?" Let the A. P.

S. BABCOCK HE question of single or double mat- ings, like Banquo's ghost, will not down. It subsides for a time and then unexpectedly crops up again in some new quarter, to become the signal for a general engagement all along the line. Double matings are no new thing. As long ago as the early days of the Spangled Hamburg; long be- fore the regular organization of poultry clubs and poultry shows, when enthusiastic fanciers exhibited their favorites in neighborly contests for copper ket- tles; antedating by many years the first appearance of a general standard of excellence for exhibiting First Prize, S. C. Rhode Island Red Cock, at Lincoln, Neb. and second at Cedar Rapids, la., '09. Bred by Chas. Ross, Box 74, Blair, Neb. j)oultry, double matings were practiced. And that practice has continued down to our own day, and has been applied, not to a few, but to many breeds. Xot only have breeders of Barred Plymouth Rocks, Brown Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds made use of it, but it was in active employ mvMit before these breeds existed. Breeders of Hamburgs of all parti- coloi-ed kinds, silver and golden penciled, silver and gohhui spangled; breeders of Dark Brahmas; breed- ers of Cochins, especially of the Partridge variety; breeders of Games, particularly of the Black Reds a?ul Brown Reds; breeders of Silver, Golden, Part- ridge and Penciled Wyandottes; in a word, breeders of nearly every parti-colored variety have made use of double iTiatings. And one can go a step farther, for such matings have been employed in producing self OI' solid colored varieties, especially those having a black plumage, when, if the practice ever seems inexcusable, it is with such varieties. What, then, is the reason for this ancient and widespread practice? It is not a natural practice; nature does not practice double matings in the pro- duction of the two sexes of wild fowls. It is not a convenient practice, because, when properly em- ployed, the breeders of cockerels and the breeders of pullets are in effect separate varieties, and mix- ing them together produces results similar to the First Prize S. C. Buff Leghorn Hen, at Madison Square Garden, New York, 1908-'09. Owned and exhibited by Wm. H. Heil, R. F. D., No. 3, Easton, Pa. crossing of separate varieties of the same breed. It is not an economical practice, because it demands more houses, more yards, more fowls to produce an equal munber of show birds; the cockerels from the ])ullet breeding pens and the pullets from the cock- erel breeding pens and worthless for exhibition pur- poses— not a dead waste, for a few arc valuable for CEDAR RAPIDS ZtPUNCOl TyvOSH/\P£ .

It is not an artistic practice, because it requires the mating of males with females whose colors do not harmonize and therefore offend a cultivated taste. And yet there nuist be some reason or n^asons for its gen(M'al practice. Page 70 And this is the chief reason : it gives results. The fancier has made for himself a standard. He has set down therein the qualities and characteristics which he regards as the elements of beauty. He has not gone to nature to inquire of her how she produces her results, but he has selected a characteristic from one fowl, and another from another fowl, and so con- tinued until he has grouped them together to form his ideal or standard. Nature may be content to make the male of the Red Bird brilliant red and the female mud colored, but the fancier will, in his ideal, retain the brilliancy of the male and secure some approach to it for the female. Nature may be con- tent to make the lacing of a wild bird crescentic in shape or irregular in pattern, but the fancier will have the lacing extend completely around the web of the feather, and the pattern as true as a die. While nature works with a free hand to produce gen- eral effects, the fancier insists upon accurate draughting and uniform coloring, upon particular ef- fects that will bear the closest inspection and sharp- POULTRY FANClERf A Barred Rock Winner and the daughter of Mr. E.

In other words, his ideal or standard is not natural but artificial — not such as nature, un- aided would produce, but such as nature, directed and guided and controlled by man, can be made to produce. To breed to an artificial standard, artificial matings are required. If, to take an illustratioji, it is natural for the Barred Plymouth Rock female to be several shades darker than the male, and man de- crees that the two sexes shall be of the same shade he cannot realize what he has decreed by a single mat- ing, for the natural tendency would assert itself, and the cockerels would be lighter than the pullets. What must he do to get the results he has decreed? Obviously he nnist use art in his matings, and to get the proper cockerels must use females so dark that, while their male produce is lighter in color than themselves, it will be dark enough for his purposes. And similarly with the pullets, he must use males light enough in color to produce the desired shade. In neither of these matings has he eradicated the ten- dency of the males to be lighter in color than the females, but he has made use of this tendency, by double nuitings, to accomplish his purposes. We are to remember that our breeds and varieties are largely artificial creations. From a single wild species, through the infiuences of environment and First prize Rose Comb Black Minorca hen at New Berlin, 08. Bred and owned by J. D. Grover, New Berlin, N. Y. variation guided by man's selection, all these breeds and varieties have come.

Bred and owned by ]. D. Grover, New Berlin, N. Y. have disregarded vigor, prepotency, influence of sex, or some minor principles. Those who seek by out- breeding a remedy, invariably find it a very long way around, instead of the expected short cut and ofttimes it is better to start afresh, keeping to the mMJor factors. Another fact usually overlooked is that the domesticated fowl is an nrtificial product. Take the chick from the artificial man-selected stock, and frequently it emerges from the shell quite early, sometimes and especially in incubators 2 or 8 days, before the usual time. These chicks, with most of those incubated under hens — even in the usual period — are found to be without natural intestinal and cloaca tracts, down to the orifice. Though these organs manifestly cannot be used without a period of brooding, which need be almost continuous, the hen proceeds to take the brood to the corn patch, to try to ^rack whole corn into fragments, or to take them tlirough the wet grass to drop on the way, when the e^f^ shells in the nest and small grit every- where, contained the needful ingredients, also giz- zard bracers, for the brood to get strength to as- similate the bone and muscle forming feed, plenti- fully supi)lied by insect life, when the sun has dried the grass. Man makes the same error with the brood- ers, often forgetting entirely that the muscles along the back of the chick by contact, get electricity and heat and not the feet, yet he howls piteously for white diarrhoea and other remedies, and goes on with feeding, generally of the wrong kind, when brooding alone is demanded.

The Australian records prove that it is strain more than breed, that insures the egg yield. Why? Be- cause a strain in the hands of the intelligent fancier, w^ho has regard to the artificial character of the stock, can be made by proper treatment and food from hatching up to egg time, for a few^ generations in succession, as well fitted to win in an egg laying competition, as the thoroughbred horse is to get across the line first in a running or trotting race, against a field of work-horses.

Letters From Readers. In this number of Poultry Fancier there appears a number of letters under the above heading. We would like to make this department a regular feature each month, and we urge readers to write us their views regard- ing the topics discussed and the sub- jects treated upon in the main articles published each month. Much inter- esting and helpful reading matter comes to us in the form of these short letters and we are always glad to re- ceive them. There are hundreds of readers, who many times would like to express an opinion, but who do not have the time nor the inclination to write a lengthy article. This depart- ment will serve to give publicity to the views of those who would like to express themselves briefly and we trust that all subscribers will avail them- selves of the opportunity to present their thoughts and experiences. Those who are not accustomed to writing for publication need not hesitate on this account. If your letters need "dressing up" before being given to the printer we shall be glad to attend to these details for you. The fellow in the background with a dozen birds in his back yard is oftentimes just as competent to make suggestions, and his knowledge of his breed is just as thorough, as that of the fluent and well-known writers. He ought to be heard and he could make his influence felt if he would only come out and let his ideas be known. Don't be back- ward. Let us hear from you. Facts and Figures in a Notable Case Judges, exhibitors, show managers and all others, who are interested in uniform judging, will find upon page 66 the details of an experience which one breeder had during the past show season and which ought to move all of us toward taking an active interest in bettering conditions. There are undoubtedly scores of exhibitors who can report similar results, but, perhaps in connection with fewer shows. These instances are of frequent occur- rence and they furnish a most effective weapon against score card judging which the friends of comparison judg- ing never fail to use. But, in a case like this, we should not for a moment lose sight of two of the knock-out blows for the argu- ment in favor of comparison judging. One is that these same judges would differ just as widely in placing the awards by comparison as they would by score cards, but in comparing the birds, there would be no card or other written record and, therefore, lack of uniformity could not be detected. The other point is that the score card system is not at fault but the judges themselves are to blame for not properly and uniformly applying it. There is just as much dissatisfaction at comparison shows as there is at score card shows, and everybody knows it. For this reason it ill-becomes our comparison friends to pick out ex- amples of this kind and use them to belittle score card judging. What we all should do is to devise some plan whereby judges can be brought closer together in their ideas. There always will be a chance for a variation of one point, and in some cases two points, in the score of a bird, either when scored twice by the same judge, or when scored by different judges, and, even though the scoring is done the same day. The birds exhibited in this case were Brown Leghorns. Any one who knows a Leghorn knows that most of them when being handled or when excited, will assume an entirely different posi- tion than when standing naturally and undisturbed. A most common result of agitation is the elevation of the tail in males and the raising and pinch- ing of it in females. A bird posing in this shape could very easily be given a cut of one point for high or pinched tail, and a half-point for shape of l)ack. The same bird when viewed five min- utes later, in a more quiet condition, might therefore score V/j points higher! These, and dozens of other similar con- ditions, should be fully considered, be- fore condemning judges for a differ- ence of one, or even two, points in the score of a bird. It is very plain, though, that the ex- perience of the breeder who has sent us the record referred to, is not justi- fied by any condition of affairs. It is inexcusable and it is somebody's business to see that common justice is meted out to the thousands of exhibi- tors who show their birds each season. The American Poultry Association is the power through which improvement should come, and we have a right to expect it from that source, regardless of any other, but show managers and breeders themselves have much to do with the matter, and if concerted ac- tion were taken, a world of good could be accomplished. The placing of the awards, at the five hundred or more shows held each season, is not a flip- pant matter. If tnere is an average of fifty exhibitors at each show, this makes twenty-five thousand people whose interests are affected. Many of them work patiently and diligently for twelve months to care for their birds and rear the young ones, with the hope that when show time comes around, they will enjoy the fruits of their work in the form of honors won in competi- tion with their fellow-breeders. A very large number of them depend upon their fowls for a certain income, and with many of them the business is a real business, which in some cases is the sole means of a livelihod. Under these conditions the blow to one's fondest hopes is a severe one, when some judge walks up to a coop, and in less than sixty seconds, in a devil-may- care manner, puts us out of business. It is dead wrong, and the judging of fowls ought to be placed upon a higher plane, and progress made as has been niade by the industry in general dur- ing the past several years. It seems to us that common honor and decency should impel judges to themselves take some steps to make their work more just and uniform. This can be accomplished with the right sort of an organization, and our personal efforts along this line about a year ago would have resulted suc- cessfully, but some of the judges re- fused to put up a few dollars a year for a working fund. We hope that we may be able to present to our readers next month a letter from each of the six judges who handled the birds referred to in the ar- ticle on page 66. The writer of these lines IS one of the six. and our ideas are fairly well expressed above yfttgWHOg/isatiMa^itiaj^ • • # I % # # #' t March, ^«»«»JM«'«i*«,«!*33«»Si^7"J^ « "'^.^^ :«„° I'V^^^^^^ HH li.si.loH.M.twrnnd the hnndu-Ht Automntic Kk« 1 rn ng i W iKittoms una tops, nnd hrnvily insalated.

White Leghorns met and formed a club for the purpose of advancing the interests of the breed. We aim to offer ribbons and specials at every show in Central New York and desire to have every breeder of S. C. White Leghorns join the club and help to make it a success. The membership fee is $1.00. The annual meeting of the American Houdan Club was held in Mechanics Hall, Boston, Mass. Jan 15th, 1909, in connection with the Boston Poultry Sliow. Matters of interest to the mem- bers of the club, and all Houdan breed- ers were discussed. It was decided that a club catalogue should be issued, and all Houdan breeders not already mem- bers of the club should join at once, and have their names in the list of members to be published in the catalogue. Ar- rangements were made for offering State cups, and ribbons to be competed for by the club members. The following officers were elected: President, John T.

Perhaps Poultry Fancier readers would be interested in knowing the re- sult of tile vote taken by the Minnesota State Poultry Association on the ques- tion of the choice of the method of judging at Minneapolis; "score card" or "comparison," as expressed by each in- dividual exhibitor. The vote was as follows: For score card S8, comparison 18, not voting 25, total exhibitors in at- tendance 131. This shows that the Minnesota fan- ciers still believe that the score cards are of some value to them. Our next show will be held Jan. 12 to 18, 1910 at Minneapolis, with Judges Geo. G. Holden, F. H. Shellabarger and C. H. Rhodes handling the "score cards." The same liberal cash premiums and several silver cups will be offered CHAS. O. JOHNSON, Sec'y-Treas. Rhode Island Bed Club Meeting*. The annual meeting of the Rhode Island Red Club of America was held at Madison Square Garden, New York, December 31, 1908, at 2 P. M. with 60 members present. The officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, Robt. C. Tuttle, Hartford, Conn.; Vice President, Irving A. Sibley, South Bend. Ind.; Sec'y-Treas., Geo. P.

Texas; Election Commissioner, Sinclair Smith, New York, N. Y. It was voted that in the future the election of officers and selection of place of meeting be done by mail ballot under sam(^ rules as the A. P. A. elections. The standard was discussed and it was voted unanimously that the A. P. A. Revision Committee be advised that the club desires no change in the present standard for color or shape as published in Red Hen Tales. The report of the sec'y-treas. showed the club to be in a healthy condition. 545 new members joined the club during- 1908. All mem- bers whose dues for 1908 were not paid were dropped from membership, leaving a total paid membership of 1,328 repre- senting 48 states and 5 foreign coun- tries, so that today the club is the strongest specialty poultry organization Ml the world with the largest paid membership. The present show season the club has offered 48 State cups in 32 states, 16 states having two cups each and 16 having one cup. Sets of eight club badges were offered at 250 shows and $150 in cash specials at New York. Kansas City and Washington. The reports from the shows, with a large increase in the number of Rhode Island Reds on exhibition indicates the widespread popularity of breed.

Amatite Roofing, which has for sev- eral years been growing rapidly in popu- larity among our readers on account of its no-paint mineral surface, is now be- ing made with several little improve- ments designed to make it easier to lay. One of these is the smooth lap, left along the edge of the roll, about three inches wide, where the mineral surface is omitted. This smooth lap makes a closer and tighter joint possible. The adhesive cement which is supplied with each roll now comes in liquid form and does not require heating before use. Instead of supplying nails and caps. POULTRY FANCIER^ tors, 26 years ago, he conceived the idea that an incubator to be "reliable" must be right in every detail, and that one very important detail in which incuba- tors were not right as they were then made was in the weight and quality of the material used. He decided to use the best of material for the purpose and to make his incubator better and heavier than any other on the market. It is a significant fact that the "Reliable" In- cubator and Brooder weighs on the aver- age, size for size, twice as much as most of the other incubators on the market. What does this mean? Simply this: there is twice the amount of material, pack- ing, etc., in the Reliable Incubator that is found in other makes. This means a more substantial, better made machine, with better packing and better equipped for hatching purposes. The result of this far-sighted "full weight" policy is seen today in a very striking fashion in the newest and big- gest of incubator factories just com- pleted at Quincy, 111., for the Reliable Incubator and Brooder Company. This "full weight" factory, covering 2^^ acres of ground, is built entirely of stone, and with its 40,000 square feet of space upon one single floor, it forms the largest fac- tory in the world devoted exclusively to the making of incubators and brooding accessories. It is equipped throughout with the very latest of modern machin- ery. Each machine is run by an individ- ual electric motor with direct attach- ment. A special steam drier dries and seasons every inch of material that goes into the Reliable Incubator and renders it free from the annoying influence of weather and warp.

Noftzser, Route 4, North Manchester, Ind., continues to add to his excellent record on Partridge Plymouth Rocks. Our readers who are intt-restid in this variety will remember that he won nearly all the desirable prizes at Chicago in December, including eviry first. He exhibited at the Indianapolis Show February 1st to 5th and won 1st. 2nd and 3rd cock; 2nd and 5th hen; 1st. 2nd and 4th cockerel; 1st. 2nd, 4th and 5th pullet and 1st pen. making almost a clean sweep. There is no question about the quality of Mr. Noftzger's birds and fanciers who place their orders wath him either for stock or eggs are sure of getting the very best. One of the best records made this season by any breeder is that of H. E. Rogers, 929 Mississippi street. La Crosse, Wis. He has shown at Clinton, la..

Stange, Adrian, Mich., was not given eredit for his winnings in the Ancona class. Through eiror another party was credited with winning all the prizes on Anconas. Mr. Stange is a prominent breeder of this variety and his birds are of highest (luality. He won 1st and 2nd hen, 1st and 2nd cock- erel, 1st, 2nd and 3rd pullets, and 1st pen. Dr. Ballard's Partridge Cochins have again given a good account of them- selves. At the Havana, 111., show they won 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th hen, 2nd, 3rd cockerels, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th pullets and first pen in addition to several grand special prizes. This strain has a natiijn- al reputation as winners for Dr. liallard and his customers.

The problem is to supply moisture only when needed, to supply the correct amount, and to keep the moisture (humidity) under ab.solute control. Too much moisture, or too dry atmosphere means spoiled hatches. The range of proper moisture is within narrow limits. Model Moisture Regulator (Automatic) supplies the exact amount needed to a drop. Works automatically. Cannot get out of order or fail to work. Does away with spraying of eggs, or using damp cloths. A chemically treated cord, which contracts or expands as it is moist or dry, closes or opens a valve which controls the moisture, supply in a water vessel on top of the incubator. 1 he correct humiaity is shown by a specially constructed hygrome- ter.'on which the humidity is read the same as on athermometer scale. This Hygrometer is supplied with every regulator. In general, the working of this Moisture Regulator is upon the same principles as our famous Model Thermostat. This new device, and others, put the Model years ahead of all other mcu- bators. Other Patented Features for the Model Incubators are : Model patented Flame Extinguisher (new this year), a prac- tical device which absolutely prevents continued smoking or any overheating of the lamp. This Flame Extinguisher is a part of the regular equipment of our 1909 Model Incubators.

Buy Good Eggs and Raise Prize Winners You are going to place your order for eggs with the breeder that will give you the best quality for the money. I have this best qtiality because I have some of the grandest specimens in America. They are the noted Regal quality, the kind that has won the highest honors in the show room. The Best White Wyandotte Record Was made at Guelph the * 'Madison Square Garden" of Canada, where the cele- brated Regal Strain, made a record never before surpassed. First Cock in a class of 37 and second Cockerel in a class of 55 are in my pens. My best winning was at Indianapolis, Indiana, the Quality Show of America First Cock and first Pullet on an entry of three birds. Medal for best Cock, medal for best Pullet, only exhibit or winning two first prizes in this class. A noted record indeed, when it is considered that my competitors scoured the country for birds to win at this show. My breeding pens will contam winners at Guelph, Canada, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Paul, New York State Fair, Illinois State Fair, and Downers Grove.

Write to the editor for any information desired. There is no charge for the service Question— Will you please tell me a simple way of keeping the record ot eggs laid in a trap nest by each hen/ Also give me the recipe for a good home- made lice powder? Do R. C. Black Mm- orcas generally sell for a higher price than most other breeds? What is a female and a male worth scoring «b points? Would I get good results from breeding a cock with his pullets and hens witli their own cockerels? Answer — A simple trap nest record is arranged as follows: Take a blank piece of paper and rule it with enough lines across the page to allow one line tor each hen. Place the band numbers on the lines on the left hand side of the paper. Then rule vertical lines from top to bottom, leaving enough space between them to make a check mark, cross of similar character. In the spaces at the top of the page place the numbers from 1 to 31, whicli correspond to the days in the month. The egg.s are <'ollected from the nest and the band number of the hen noted. The check or cross is then placed opposite her number in the space which corresponds with the day of the month when the egg is laid. Most all home-made lice powders are iust about as expensive to make as it would be to purchase the preparations for sale by advertisers. You can make a louse powder by mixing two-thirds ground tobacco or tobacco stems with one-third good clean road dust R. C. Black Minorcas do not sell for a higher price than birds of other varieties. An 88 point female is a cull and is not worth much more than mar- ket price, unless she comes from a good laying strain. The same is true of a male scoring this amount. You could get good results from the matings you mention, if the birds were large, well matured, healthy specimens, although this practice could not be continued in- dertnitely. Question — In a comparison show should not every section and part of the fowl be given the same value as in judging by score card? At a recent show in my neighborhood a cock bird was shown in the Cornish class which was dubbed of comb and wattles. He was allowed to compete on an equal basis with other males that were not dubbed, and he was given first prize. I claim that the judge erred in his decision ac- cording to the Standard, as the bird would have been given a value of 92 points to start with as against 100 points for undubbed birds, because his comb and wattles were entirely missing and the Standard scale of points allows 8 points for these sections. Answer — The judge could not properly give first prize to the bird you refer to unless he was sufficiently good in all other sections besides comb and wattles to make his general average excellence higher than that of all the other birds In the class. The paragraph in the Standard on page 26 specifi"d "Valua- tion" states plainly that in comparison judging full consideration shall be given to both shape and color as provided by the Standard scale of points. The scale of points specifies 8 for comb and wat- tles and on page 204 under the descrip- tion of shape of comb, judges are in- structed to deduct 6 points if a bird is dubbed. No specified amount is given for the dubbing of wattles, but it should be at least one point, which would make a total of 7. The bird should, therefore, start off with a dis- count of seven points under the score card method of judging and this should be, of course, given full consideration In comparison judging. Question — What is the approximate cut for the following defects? Comb following head too closely. Comb not fol- lowing head close enough. Lopped comb, but not bad enough to disqualify. Tele- scope comb. Absence of spike or blade, slightly wry tail. Buffalo back. Is evidence of the use of the knife on the comb in any degree a disqualification, as for instance, the removal of one spike from an otherwise good comb? Answer — Combs which follow the head too close or not close enough should be cut from one-half to one point. Lopped combs in single comb varieties, except in Mediterranean and Dorking females, are a disqualification, as are also rose combs, but they may fall over slightly from an upright position and be passed with a cut of from 1/2 to 1^^. Telescope comb from % to 1//^. Ab- sence of spike is a disqualification. Ab- sence of blade on a single comb from one to two points. A tail that is at all wry disqualifies the bird. Buffalo IBack should be cut from % to 2 points according to the breed and the extent of the defect. Evidence of a comb hay- ing been trimmed or cut in any way is a disqualification. The cuts above men- tioned should be given in addition to other cuts for other defects of the comb. In other words, the cuts specified above are merely for the one defect mentioned. To these cuts should be added the pro- per amount for other defects which will always be found in the same comb. iA. Question — Would you consider a Golden Seabright Bantam pullet that is good in every respect, except having green colored legs, a fit bird to have in a breeding pen? Answer — Golden Seabright Bantams with legs other than slaty blue in color would be disqualified in the show room and it is never advisable to use disqualified birds in the breeding pens. The defect would cer- tainly appear in some of the progeny and these would, of course, be worthless. " A?. Question — What does the Standard mean by light wings in Buff Turkeys? Does it mean lighter shade of Buff or does it allow white wings? Answer — What the Standard means by light wings is that the wings may be a lighter shade of buff. White is a very objectionable defect and is cut severely. It is very difficult, however, to get buff wings and the Standard helps breeders l)v permitting the wings to be a lighter shade of buff than the rest of the bird. Question — I have two Wyandotte pul- It'ts whose eyes are running and are considerably swollen. Can you tell me what to do for them and what the trouble is? Answer — Your pullets have a severe cold which may develop into roup unless they receive proper attention. We would suggest that you secure one of the good roll') euros which are offered for snle March, '09 rr:!;tj<^'!ir'^--.M--y'.-f<.k.-^J>.:^::^: by various advertisers. Any of the well known remedies are good. You might be able to cure the cold, however, by in- iecting lard and kerosene, equal parts, into the nostrils and bathing the eyes two or three times a day with peroxide of hydrogen, slightly diluted with water. You' can secure the peroxide of hydro- gen at any drug store. 5 cents worth would be sufficient. Question — I notice in this department in December Poultry Fancier a scale of prices for Barred Rocks scoring from MO to 93 points. Please tell me what the prices should be for White Wyandottes scoring from 90 to 90 1/2. I see that some breeders of White Wyandottes have what they call cockerel matings; also pullet matings. My understanding of this is that it is double mating, and I would like to have you explain double mating in White Wyandottes. Answer — The price of White Wyan- dotte males scoring from 90 to 96 V^ should be from $3 to $50 and females from $2 to perhaps $40. Birds reaching the-e latter scores, however, could hardly be purchased for these prices in many cases. There is no advantage whatever in practicing double mating with White Wyandottes.

JUDGE AT snow NO. 1. A jnduc's ideals are foi*med from the study of the Standard, toi^^ether with his experience in handlin«»- the birds at shows and in the bi-eedinir yards. The younc; judue forms many ideas and opinions by watching: the judt^in^ done at show after show by older and more experienced ju(l«»('s. I see no better way for «^ood and correct .iudgment to be fonned. providinjj: that only the best judges be used as ^'uides. It would be much better, however, if one sinjjfle jud^'e could be the foun- tain head for it all. Our ideas and opinions are all different, even in deciding' upon the same specimen at one and the same time, under exactly the same con- ditions. Take a jiu\v upon a nnirder trial, and how radicallv thev mav difter after hearing the same evi- deuce. And then, too, the Standard is not as lucid as it might be : for example, in back, the Cochin, Lang- shan and Leghorn are all described as medium length. Xow, this is very misleading, for we all know that thev are not identical in length, bv anv manner of means. Take combs, and we find the Cochin and I^rown Leghorn male combs defined the same, as medium size. These are onlv two of manv irregu- larities that should be corrected. There are a num- ber of reasons whv thev have not been harmonized sre this ; one reason is that specialty chibs have had nnich to do with the arranging of Standard descrip- tions, and each one wanted their description just so, whether it was consistent with the rest of the book or not. As long as poultry judging is done there will be differences in the scores, but how to make those dif- ferences as slight as possible and consistent should be the a'un of judges, breedei's and everyone connected with the poultry interests. I can see but little good to come from a judges' association unless it can be made j)ossible for the judges to get together in person to study, score and compare notes. .TUDGE AT snow NO. 2. Much has been written about the necessitv of uni- form judging. ^lany of the breeders and judges feel that a judges' organization would greatly benefit the biHM'ders throughout the country; others are constantly thi'owing cold water ui)on the suggestions made thus far. Those judges oppo.sed to .such an organization need only to turn to the March issue of Poultry Fancier, page 66, and note the experience of a breeder at six different shows under six different judges, of which the writer was one. to be convinced of the need of such an organization. This breeder certaiidy had I'cason to find fault with at least some of the six, in view of the fact that there was such a wide difference in the scores and in the case of hen Xo. 1. We do not Page 98 believe that any judiies' oi*t»ani/ati()ii could possibly train jud^ies to absolute unifoi'niity. It would be folly to expeet this. Hut sueli an ortianization, pi'oi)erly eondueted. would at least bi'in*» the judues to score a bird within one or two points of each othei'. whether there be two or six judges handle the same bii'd. Tlit- American Poultry Association should start in one of two ways to accomplish the same end; either stait :i jud^ics' organization for traininir or fitting- thi' judiie.-, before tirantin»i- the license, or else the licensing- of judges should be confined only to judges takinu' th.' examination under the control of the American ]^)ul- try Association. I Jider the above plan there may be fewei" judiics with licenses, but show officers then hirin.u- judges with licenses would know that the judge having been granted a license would be sure to give justice to the breeder, and a score card l)y such judges would be of much value for the sale of birds.

The pi'rfection of the Standard nutans something: it repi'csents the highest degi'ee of (juality. not a faii'ly good (puility. but perfection. And right here 1 ))e- lieve is where nuich of the trouble lies: all judges do not fully appreciate how good a thing Standard (|\uil- itv reallv is, and the scores of manv birds are too high in conse(jU(Mice. 1 believe in woi'king up close to Standard I'Cfjuii'ements. and when that is done, the high scores will not be as numerous as now, because the birds that really approach within a few points of ^'perfection " are scarce indeed.

Beck, Hammond, Ind. to defend our position in this particular case, but apply oui* remai'ks to the subject in general. It is certainly high time that thei'e is something done to better the conditions in securing moi'e unifoi'in judging, not oidy und<'i' the score card. ))ut the com- j)ai'ison system as well. In oui* opinion, the Hi'st cause • K ]• April, '09 of a difference is in our Standard of Perfection: it is so constructed that a judge is given a wide radius in the application of his opinions and still be within tin- spirit of the Standard. Some judges assume too much authority, giving de- cisions that are contrary to the specified cuts that ai'c given in cold type. For example, we have the i)ast winter seen judges cut (me-fourth on coh)r of eye. when the Standard specifies, "Color of eyes not as described for each of the varieties, cut one-half to one and one-half." We passed on a Rose Comb Leg- horn cockerel, disqualified him for "comb falling ovei' to one side." The next week he was given first place with no nuirked improvement in this section. We had a letter from the owner of the bird, criticising our judgment, and we cited him to the Standard (page 28, paragraph 7, article 2), which reads: "Rose Comlis falling over to one side shall disqualify," whereupon he came back at us with the argument that the other judge had handled poultry shows for twenty-five yeais. and he was sure his judgment was right and thi' Standard was wrong. We could relate many similar incidents. In score card shows many mistakes of the clerk will cause a "shrinkage" or "overplus," for which a judge will usually get the blame. For example: We are in- formed that hen No. 1, scoring 941/0 points at show Xo. 5, received no cuts on shape other than comb. This is an eri'or which places this hen at least one point too high, thus showing the judge in the wrong light.

In thinks is right about this time, and this is usually wrong. We find so nuuiy shows supplying clerks that cU'e incompetent, and it is a great deal similar to a kindergarten task to bi'cak these i)upils in. Xo one is infallible: we all make mistakes. With the possibility of the judge, clerk, accountant and secretary each or all committing an error, there is a possible chance for a difference in judging, even if we, as judges, had an infallible set of rules to go by. The greatest differences occur from the personal in- terpretation of the Standard. One judge says a cer- tain shade of buff is correct, another says another is. and so we have it. We never expect to se(» the time when all judges will place awards and score birds exactly alike, llow- (^ver. we do hope for the time when we jnay be able to be bi-ought closer together for the good of one and all. Mr. Heck has covered the grouiul pretty thoroughly in the March Poiltry Fancier relative to the possible chanc{» of a variation in scoring of not only diiferent judges, but by the same judge. We have no excuse to offer in this particular case, as we did the work to the best of (mr ability, but the score of iULj shown by oui* card is at least one point too high, becaus(» in some unaccountable way our cuts for shape do not ai)i)ear upon the card at all. ■♦-*■ There never was a time in the history of fancy poultry culture when really good birds were in greater (h'mand or commanded higher prices than right now.

Page 100 POULTRY FANCIER April, '05 ESS POULTRY FANCIER He Says We Have Gone Crazy What Is to be Gained if You Secure Your Ideals at the Expense of Killing the Breed and Making It a Back Number? By J. W. WHITNEY HAVE been very much interested in the able articles presented in the l\)rL- TRY Fancier of recent dates by Messrs. Peil, Felch and Babcock, on the sub- ject of double vs. single matiuii'. ]\Ii*. Babcock 's artiunients in particular are very stronj^- and he has fortified himself behind very convincing- statements, made in a verv^ clear and lib- eral manner. But he has lost si^ht of the fact that all that ever necessitated the use of double matin^s, at any stage of the game, has been a disposition upon the part of fanciers to pi'oduce an artificial product — in other words, a preconceived ideal or artistic shade or form of coloring in a more ra]ud, or possibly in some instances impossible manner, than it could have been accomplished by commonly conceded scientific or thorough and regular methods. The only condition that has made the double uniting of fowls necessary is the particular whim or ideal conception of man. We find no authority upon which to base cmr arguments as to its superiority, its more scientific nature. AVe do not find such means employed along any other breeding lines, horses, cattle, sheep or swine, but the advocates of legitimate line breeding — yes, pedigree breeding — can point with i)ride at the remarkable results which have been accomplished by regularly conceded scientific efiPort along the line of single mat- ing. Other things which escape the minds of the advo- cates of double fnating are these: First, its compli- cations and its effect u])on a class of buyei*s incom- petent to grasp its full significance or make available the results of their investments of hard cash in eggs, especially exhibition specimens ])urchased at high prices to be iLsed as breeders, and again the necessity of the expenditure of double money, if among the in- itiated, to get the foundation of a breeding yard. Any condition that tends to disappoint, to mystify the ama- teur fancier is a mistake. It has been stated, upon \vhnt authority I am un- able to say, that tbe average life of the amateur fan- cier is two or three years. It should be our earnest concern to make this many more years — yes, for life. Were the profitable buyers of the veteran fanciers' sur[)lus confined to those who knew, to the intelligent and educated breeder, all would be well, but the facts do not show this to be true. We make the claim that it is an injustice, a mistake to sell a man sofuething at high prices which he cannot nuike available to his needs. When a purchaser steps into one of our larger modern exhibitions and puts np $100 to .+500 for a first-prize bird, he should be able to make good as a breeder, as well as an exhibition bird, and were it not for artificial aiul erroneous eoncej)ti()ns of man that more or less antagonize the laws of nature, he would. You who advocate double mating, point me to a single variety that today has received a single advantage by its use. You have lost all richness of color in Bi'ow!! Leghorns and Barred Rocks and the writer can rcn^all but one variety, Partridge Cochins, that can be said to be a wiinier, and take these out of the master hands of a Mitchell and you have lost out. Where are your big exhibits of soft, rich colored, truly brown Leg- horn females, your bright Cherry Red Back and Sad- dles on males that could breed a larger per cent of fine salable birds than any strain of the present day monstrosities? They are gone. Today's exhibitions are renuirkable for the very limited exhibits of Brown Leghorns. Why? Double mating has killed the vari- ety. In Barred Rocks vou have a lot of black and white barred birds, with smoky yellow, black spotted shanks, that average about one pound less in weight than ten years ago. Yes, you have some barring, and to get that which is covered up and out of sight and no value in beauty or worth, you have destroyed one Second prize Barred Rock cockerel at Indianapolis, '09.

A Few Thoughts Upon the Ne- cessity of Proper Nutrition and How to Provide It By EDWIN H. MORRIS HE feeding of fowls is far fnmi an exact science, for the balanced ration not only depends on the flock, but the individual specimen ; also season, climate, tempera- ture, housing, age and to some extent breed, nature of soil and vegetation, with other minor considerations ; therefore the aim should be to remember all these matters and vary the feed accordingly. The ultimate merit and value of all nutrition is de- cided by ability to maintain a nitrogen ecjuipoise. Al- buminoids or proteids — whether animal or vegeta- ble— contain about 16 per cent of nitrogen, without which life cannot exist. The relative value of these ele- ments depends somewhat on the form in which they are supplied, and their mission is to renew or build up. whilst the other elements, such as fat and cai'bo- hydrates, are but as fuel and are consumed completely, in the maintenance of wartnth, vigor and operation of the functions. Of course it is plain that generations of artificial feeding and habits have to some extent produced func- tional changes, so that the hen's digestive system and intestinal tracts are ada])ted to the method oi feeding in vogue, yet when there is an excess of non-nitroge- nous food, there must be a waste of the proteids in the disposal of the sur[)lus, .lUst as when there is not enough fat supplied, the proteids undergo a change, in order that this element may be secured, which must be a wasteful process, and should be avoided. If, therefore, such a ration is su])plied that these wasteful i^rocesses are not necessary, the surplus will go to the making of yolk, which is the start of the Q\l' WJ JV'-l>.^.'igHT April, '09 k>^^^xfy^'^-^M^^^.■^. i..'.x.»A^ which is generally told by the color of the iiiaiii, llu' dark beinjj-- invariably superior to the white, and all vary in salts accordin^i" to the composition of the soil f inheritance." In these words Mr. (1 S. Gorline opens his initial article, "The Laws of Heredity," in the Successful Poultry Journal foi* Janu- ary, 1909. Is the statement correct ? That heredity is a force to be reckoned with admits of no doubt. That it influences our beliefs, oui* knowledge, ami our ])(M'- sonalitv nnist be admitted. l^>ut that the words as written can be taketi lit(M'ally seems to be open to question. In the first plac(\ henulity lias done its work when we ai'e born, that is, the tendencies are present, the rudiments are within us. when the being enters ui)on an indejxMidcnt life. These tendencies may be <)])erative in a greater or less degree throughout life, and these rudiments may grow with our growth and develop with on?* development, but their implanta- tion took place ])efore inde|)endent life began. Hut the development of nuui or animal, the growth of physical and mental (pialities, continues long after the im])lantation of hereditary tendencies and rudi- ments, and this i^rowth and development nuiy be .something more than the j)erfecting of the inherited tendencies and rndiments. In the second i)lace, environment is a force to be considered. Envit'onment means the surrounding circumstances, the forces that act upon us from without, just as the hereditary forces act upon us from within. Life — not as a philosophic concept. but as actual existence — consists for many largely in the confiict of these two sets of forces, and some- times the one arul sometimes the other set seems to be victorious. Happy is that being when environ- ment and heredity are both good and join hands in his development ! I remend)er being asked once, by a very keen investigator of mental and social problems, which was the more pow^erful, heredit^^ S. C. White Leghorn cockerel, winner of first at Elmore, O., '08, and third at Sylvania, C, '09. Bred and owned by Naumberg & Booth, 1532 W. Bancroft St., Toledo, O. or environment. That (juestion 1 believe renmios unanswercMl, though I believe that in things |)urely ])hysical, heredity, and in things purely mental, environment, is the moi*e powei'ful. Still there are plenty of facts to make this last statement doubtful. In the thii'd ])lace, if lieredity were all, in physi- cal things, then we should expect that all fowls, br(Ml exactly alike ami iidu^riting the same charac- teristics in the same degree — something pretty dif ficult to predicate of any two individuals — WM)uld be ecpud in all respects. Yet we know that fowls • • I • April, '09 bred from the same parents, but reared under dif- ferent circumstances, are verv ditferent from each other. As an illustration of this I recall an experi- ence I had many years ago. I placed eggs from the same pen of Barred Plymouth Rocks in the hands of two i)ersons to hatch and rear for me. From one rearer the chickens w^ere small, ill-shaped, un- satisfactory in nuirkings, and for my purposes practically worthless; from the other rearer the chickens were large, symmetrical, handsomely marked and very valuable. What made the dilfer- ence? Was it heredity? No. Was it environment? It certainly was. For these^chickens were bred from the same parents, bred .tlie same ancestors, were similarly endowed, as a^ whole, by heredity, but the environment was totally different. In the fourth place, if heredity were all in mental concerns, using the term mental broadly enough to cover spiritual as distinguished from material mat- ters, a child born of wicked parents must inevitably be wicked, unless through reversion it harked back to some good ancestor. It would be born without hope in this world. Such a doctrine would destroy POULTRY FANCIER Page 103 about these forces, for with the breeder "Knowledge is power." And when we come to a subject like heredity we gasp at the emptiness of what we deem our knowledge. Who knows just what it is and how it works? There are theories in plenty — Dar- win, Wiesmann and others have provided them — but where is the truth? Is heredity a sort of physi- cal memory? Do the gemmules of Darwin, or the germ plasm of Weismann, explain its mystery? Are we not in much the same position as to heredity as we are as to electricity? Who knows wdiat elec- tricity is? We know^ of some of its manifestations and how to make some use of its powders, but that is. all. To know a thing and know about a thing are l)y no means the same but it is good even to know about something, far better than not to know^ about it.

The circulation of Poultry Fancier is national in character. It is the only poultry journal pub- lished solely in the interests or fanciers, the people who constitute practically the entire fraternity. The mission of Poultry Fancier is to teach breeders how to produce the beautiful and valu- able Standard bred birds which are the founda- tion of all profit and pleasure in poultry raising. Ap.il. 1909. An Explanation Last month there appeared on this page an announcement calling atten- tion to our new department under the heading, "Letters from Readers." Af- ter the editorial page had been printed we found that we were so crowded for space that a large amount of reading matter including the new department had to be omitted and the editorial item was, therefore, misleading. We publish a number of letters this month and wish to again invite readers to write us their views for publication. Names and addresses will be omitted when desired if there is a good reason for the omission, as is sometimes the case. This department will, we believe, prove exceedingly interesting as we are getting many letters upon various top- ics which should be freely discussed. Revision Committee in Chicago The members of the Standard Revi- sion Committee assembled in Chicago the 6th of this month and are still at work as this issue of Poultry Fancier goes to press. They expect to complete their work April 17, but a few more days may be required. Mr. Smith and Mr. McGrew are not in attendance, they having been unavoidably prevented from being present. The work of the committee is heavy and a great mass of detail matter must be thoroughly dis- cussed and acted upon. Many radical changes in the Standard will bo sug- gested by the Committee and the forth- coming edition of the Standard prom- ises to be a big improvement over the old one in many respects. The recom- mendations of the Committee will be submitted to all members of the Amer- ican Poultry Association, prior to the annual meeting at Niagara Falls next August, at which time they will be ac- cepted and approved, unless the Asso- ciation as a whole may deem some of the changes too unwise or unnecessary which is not apt to be the case. The new book will be issued some time dur- ing 1910. Renew Your Subscription The large number of renewal sub- scriptions received by Poilthy Fancier is very gratifying for the reason that they are most substantial and convinc- ing evidence that the paper is appre- ciated and really of value to readers. We do not wish to lose a single one of our friends and we hope that none whose subscriptions expire this month will fail to renew. It is the only paper devoted solely to fanciers and their branch of poultry raising. It covers the ground more completely than does any other paper and it fairly deserves the encouragement and support of fanciers everywhere. The price is still only 25 cents per year or three years for 50 cents. Tell your friends about it. A Case That Will be Interesting to Watch The question of uniformity in judg- ing has been given considerable atten- tion in the columns of Poiltky Fan- (•ip:r. Breeders everywhere and the poultry press in general have fallen into line and the subject is now receiv- ing widespread consideration. We pub- lished last month the details of a case where a breeder of R. C. Brown Leg- horns exhibited at six different shows, with the result that the judging of the birds showed a most remarkable lack of uniformity, there being a difference in some instances of three and four points in the scores, and in the case of one hen the range was from 88% to 94 Ml, although after an investigation of conditions, it is clearly evident that this latter score is an error and should be reduced at least one point. The breeder of the birds and a large number of prominent judges have con- sented to co-operate with Potltry Fan- cier in a campaign of education with this hen as a basis. We are now send- ing her around over the country having her scored and by the time she gets back to her owner she will have trav- eled many thousand miles, including her trips to six different shows. After her tour is completed we shall publish all the details in Poultry Fancier, giving the scores of all the judges, in- cluding the various cuts in each sec- tion. The names of the owner, the judges and shows will also be published in connection with a picture of the bird. Nothing of this kind has ever been attempted and the difference of opinion among judges as evidenced by their score cards has never before been put in cold type for public inspection. The case will prove a notable one in many respects and will contribute its share toward bringing judges together in their ideas. The comparing of notes cannot help producing greater harmony among judges and breeders. Three Reasons Why There are many reasons for the lack of uniformity in the work of poultry judges and while there will always be small differences of opinion, there should not be the unwarranted and wide variation which exists at the pres- ent time. Exhibitors and breeders in general need more education upon the subject of judging. It should be thor- oughly discussed and all interested parties snouid know just what can be reasonably expected of judges. In this connection we wish to call attention to three conditions which contribute largely to lack of uniformity and unsat- isfactory work. First, the Standard of Perfection is so vague and incomplete in many ways that it is folly to expect judges to in- terpret it alike. Each revision of the book has improved it as a whole, but while many features have been made better, others have been made worse. There is hope that as time passes, marked improvement will be made in all respects and as rapidly as this is ac- complished, the sooner will judges be able to work closer together. Second, many judges form ideas of their own without any consideration for what the Standard says, and their work is, therefore, not in harmony with that of other judges who follow instructions strictly to the letter. As an example, we call attention to the re- marks of Editor Hewes in March num- ber of Inland Poultry Journal, wherein he criticises our application of the Standard rule \Nhich requires judges to discount a bird 1V> points for each missing feather or part of feather in primaries or secondaries where foreign color disqualifies. His criticism was prompted by our recent reference to a case where we cut a bird 6 points for the above defect and which enabled an inferior bird to win first prize. Mr. Hewes maintains that this rule was adopted "to punish fakers, when in the opinion of the judge some exhibitor was trying to win a prize by removing or breaking a feather." He also ap- plies the cut to shape and not color, and says, "It was never intended that judges should go beyond the limit in making this cut, or in other words, cut- ting more points for a section than is assigned that section in the scale of points." Now, the Standard does not offer one word of explanation as to why the rule was adopted. It simply says that judges shall obey it. Neither does it say whether the cut shall be for shape or for color. We interpret it as a color defect because the possibility of foreign color having appeared in the feathers is the reason for the adoption of the rule. Neither does the Standard say that in cutting for this defect a judge shall not go beyond the limit of points allotted to the section. Here are three positions taken by Mr. Hewes that are not sanctioned by the law and for which he has no authority what- • • • • f^iS:^^|^OULTRY FANCIER^, zsz Page 105 f^h^ivfw I- '-■ /tr^', J T!'r...r'^^ ever, and, no doubt, there are other judges who hold the same opinions as he does. This is one of the many cases where judges do not strictly follow the Standard and where the Standard is in- excusably incomplete. How can you expect uniformity under these condi- tions? Third, judges very seldom find favor- able conditions for their work in the show room. We refer particularly to the inefficiency of their clerks and the conditions which prevent accurate work on the part of the clerk, chief of which is the crowding, the talking, and ques- tioning of the clerk which distracts his attention from his work and causes him to place wrong cuts on the score card or to omit some of them entirely. These errors are much more frequent than any of us imagine and they hurt both the exhibitor and the judge. An error of this kind figures prominently in the case of the Brown Leghorn hen referred to in another item on this page and which has attracted so much attention. The breeder really thought that the judge scored the bird 94 Vj and the information has been heralded far and wide that the scores under differ- ent judges ranged from 88% to 94 Vo, a difference of 5% points. After an in- vestigation and an examination of the score cards, it has been discovered that the card showing 94 Vj has no shape cuts on it at all, except in comb. The attention of the judge has been called to the matter and he claims that the error is so clear that there should be no question about it. He is, of course, right because there never was and nev- er will be a bird absolutely perfect in shape. The cuts in this case should not be less than one point and many judges discounted the bird from IV2 to 2. There are hundreds of cases each season where the score cards do not show the exact record of the judges' work and poultry show managers are wholly responsible for this feature which contributes its share toward the lack of uniformity in judging.

Editor Poultry Fancier. — Recently when Minorcas were being discussed so vigorously, we wanted to tell those persons who said: "All breed- ers who are opposed to the present weights should breed Leghorns," that "those favoring the present weights should breed Plymouth Rocks," for that seems to be what they are striving for in weight, not seeming to realize that they are sacrificing the merits of the breed by so doing. And we say here that the persons who were the instigators in putting ex- cessive weights on the Minorcas — a breed of the Mediterranean class — whose sole foothold upon the seat of popularity is "heavy egg production" have done much to retard its progress A certain gentleman said recently — in referring to weight — that they (the Leghorn breeders) did not want to be like the Minorca breeders, ruin their breed by excessive weights. We wish to say here that while we believe in fair play to all — weights for all breeds — we do not believe in making them unreasonable; and not "all" Minorca breeders had a hand in this deal. Many such breeders are level headed enough to see that this is an injury, especially to a breed of the Mediterranean class, and while the most of us have not as yet let these excessive weights ruin our breed, we know that it is doing much to retard its progress. The person who takes up the breeding of these fowls does so with the object in view of get- ting eggs, lots of them the year around, not with the object of getting the lar- gest number of pounds of flesh regard- less of other things. Why make weights so large that it discourages, and is an injury to any breed? Is it to keep out the masses and give a few of the BIG GUNS who do nothing but coddle up a few specimens to win with, an easier chance to walk away with honors? We say have a weight clause for all breeds, and make it reasonable. No doubt those Leghorn breeders who do not favor weights, feel bad to have we Minorca breeders or others take a hand in this controversy, but we would like to ask them to consider the reverse conditions and see if they would have taken it as long as we have. Are not the Minorcas a Mediterranean breed, and "egg machines" in every sense of the word? And I am sure no Minorca breeder would want to steal Leghorn honors, for wherein could they be bene- fitted thereby excepting in color of flesh? And we Minorca breeders have weighed the matter well, and find that the large numbers of nice large eggs laid the year around, together with the difference in pounds of flesh, more than overbalance the color of flesh. And if they are not trying to steal Minorca honors, why not have a weight clause, so that these "know all" breeders throughout the country who are breed- ing "Minorca type Leghorns" and cre- ating many wrong impressions thereby, can be given a mark to go by? So here is wishing the Leghorn breeders success, and hoping for jus- tice to all. Mrs. H. F. Blattler. Solon, Iowa. EVERY BREED OF FOWLS SHOULD HAVE A STANDARD WEIGHT. Editor Poultry Fancier. — I see that some writers assert that the moment we adopt weights for Leg- horns that it will check their egg record. The weights for all breeds are expected to be that which the best specimens can carry and not affect their egg record. The generously de- veloped specimen of any breed will lay larger eggs and more of them than will the very smallest and the excessively large specimens, but when we come to the wind up and obliged to sell for meat the large one gives us the most money as a food supply. Some 4 or 5 years ago at New York the White Leg- horns that won 1st and 2nd cock, 1st and 2nd hen, 1st and 2nd cockerel, 1st and 2nd pullet were birds that the cocks weighed 6V2 and 7 lbs., hens 5 and 5V> lbs., cockerels 6 lbs. and pullets 4 and iVj lbs., and they were Leghorns. If one man can raise such, trusting the care to a farm hand, what is the use of crying out against good average weight for Leghorns, say 4 lbs. for pul- lets, 5 lbs. for hens, bVn lbs. for cock- erels, 6M> lbs. for cocks, when such females lay good, nice size eggs and enough of them. We cannot ignore the money coming from the meat product. If the Leghorn races can be made to weigh one pound more by giving them Hoover's Barred Rocks are the champions of Indiana and they have no superiors anywhere. Their show record for the past 17 years at the leading shows proves their claim. EGGS. I have the choicest matings of strictly line bred birds that experience and money can produce.

Editor PoiLTKY Fancikk. — Your pa- per with articles from such masters as Babcoc'k and Felch as contributors is surely in the front rank; should a fan- cier of only 35 years' experience be al lowed to differ in any way is for you to say. In the first place an entirely unremunerative variety cannot long survive. That perfect W. F. Spanish hen we read about, who took prizes foi nine years and never laid an egg, sure- ly had no descendants, and the utility man certainly can be agreed with, re- gardless of Mr. Babcock, if he says, "Not such a hen for me." But we do not want to go so far in the utility class as Mr. Felch, who writes that a Hamburg should weigh 6^1. pounds. The delight we feel in looking at these Rose Comb Black Bantam Cock.

As for the utility, I believe that statistics show that a small bird lays a larger egg in proportion than a large bird does. Also to one who is familiar with Hamburgs, he is satisfied with the meat and its quality and quantity. For the meat is in the right place and of delicious quality, as is that of the Pol- ish.

Walter Sherman's new book tells you all about these wonderful fowls— how easy they are to take care of, how fine they are for table use, what prolific layers they are— even tells you how to take care of them when sick. Every poultry- man should have it. The pictures in the book are true to life- each from a photo- graph made at Mr. Sherman's place. Two of them, by the new French color photography, show the birds in their natural plumage— so real that you almost expect them to move.

It would not hurt to raise Polish to QV2 or 7 for cocks, but I believe it would deeply in jure the appearance of Hamburgs. Elbert Wakeman. Milneck, L. /., N. Y. •vr ^ AN OLD TIME BREEDER WRITES ABOUT OLD TIME BREEDS. Editor Poultry Fancier. — Since Poultry Fancier has given the old time fanciers a chance to write up their favorite fowls I would like to mention some of the old time breeds that were at an early date more or less popular. The Black Polish with their white crests and brilliant black plu- mage, were great favorites many years ago. I well remember a Polish hen that came to us. She no doubt escaped from some mover's wagon, as the coun- try where I lived was quite new and there were many wagons on the road with household goods, poultry, etc. We children named the hen "Black Dinah." She had a beautiful white One of the elegant White Orpingtons owned by Brown & Coleman, Station L., Cincinnati, O. crest and was evidently pure bred. Yet notwithstanding her non-sitting reputa- tion, she stole away into the woods and laid a litter of eggs which produced a brood of fine healthy chicks. The pul- lets were, of course, mongrels, but they laid well and were great favorites. At a later period when the fanciers aimed to increase the size of the crest and eliminate the black feathers the fowls suffered and were not as hardy. I re- member of seeing many more or less pure Polish on the farms around the country. Some were heavily crested and beautifully frosted with delicate white spots. The farmers' wives of that early day considered the Polish most excel- lent fowls, and so they were, and with natural suroundings would steal their nests and bring off fine healthy broods of chickens. It goes to show that with Dame Nature as a guide and the sur- roundings of woodland briars and brambles, many of the non-sitters would no doubt forfeit their reputation and bring forth broods of chicks. There is no question but the White Crested Black Polish are the most beautiful fowls we have, and I am glad there are a few fanciers who breed them. All the new breeds of the present day are indebted to the old time .lavas, Domi- niques, Hamburgs, etc., for their origin. I remember the old time Shanghais were often heavily crested, whether from an infusion of Polish blood or the blood of the original "Kulm" cock, from which the Asiatics are descended. The old writers mention the fact that the original "Gallus Gigantus" were some of them crested. The Polish are a very PROUTY'S ROCKS ARTRIDGE COCHINS. Write for Circular. O. L. PR.OUTY Box 11.5.

Highland, Ind. ONE OR SEVERAL BREEDS. Editor Poultry Fancier. — From time to time I read articles in the various poultry journals in which the writers claim that a breeder in or- der to bring fowls to the very highest possible excellence, must keep only one variety. Now, it is certainly any fancier's privilege to confine himself to one va- riety, if he chooses so to do; but when he assumes and continually asserts that his brother fancier cannot breed equally good stock in each of his sev- eral varieties, he is in our opinion go- ing beyond his privilege, for I claim that any fancier who has the ability to make a success with one variety of poultry, may if he has room and means be equally successful with several va- rieties. And it won't tax his brain a whit the more. For instance, a fancier who has the ability and means to keep nine pens of one breed, up to a high state of excellence, may just as well, if he chooses, keep three pens of each of three varieties up to an equally high standard. Now, what arc some of the advan- tages of keeping several varieties over those of keeping only one? First, when a fancier ha*? established a good reputa^ tion i'cr hins'^lf and his birds, he can with the saine advertising do a much larger and more profitable business. For some customers will want one; others, another of the varieties he keeps. But if he has only one variety to offer, half or two-thirds of his would-be customers must go to other breeders for what they want. Second, the fan- cier who has several varieties can make a much larger and finer exhibit at the shows than the man with one variety. Third (and this means much to the genuine fancier), the man or woman who has several varieties, has a much more pleasing display in his own yards. Imagine a florist who grows only dahlias in his gardens. In short, the argument that a fan- cier cannot bring to the best possible development more than one breed at a time is an argument resting on very poor foundations, and we fear is often made as disguised advertising to carry the idea that the stock of the breeder who keeps only one variety is much superior to that of the fancier who keeps several varieties. As a matter of Page 109 fact, many of the most noted breeders keep from two to ten varieties. W. H. Harwood, M. D. Chasm Falls, N. Y.

BElCliVy HAMMOND, INDIANA # • ^ April, '09 We desire to call the attention of our readers who are interested in Barred Plymouth Rocks, to the ad. of Harry W. Price, LaGrange, Ind., which a->pears in this issue of the Fancier. Mr. Price breeds Barred Rocks exclusivelj and has bred them in line for 15 years. His birds are up to standard size, and ele- .gitntly barred down to the skin. He has won many prizes in the last few years and always in hot competition. He writes us that he does not buy his win- ners, but raises them, and he Informs us that his matings for 1909 are the best he ever owned. At the LaGrange, Ind. show, held Jan. 5-8, 1909, in the strongest class of Barred Rocks ever shown at LaGrange, Mr. Price won, 1, 2, 3 cock; 2, ckl; 1,2,3 hen; 1.2 pul; 1. pen. •H- -se- lf you want S. C. Brown Leghorns bred for size, to lay and to win, Mr. Ira Ford, LaGrange, Ind. can supply your wants. He will gladly and prompt- ly send a copy of his mating list to all who write him. His birds have made remarkable records in the show room and many of his first prize winners score above 94. He has a record of ten birds with an average score above 94, by McClave and we doubt if there Is another breeder anywhere who can show a larger number of high-grade birds. He of his stock Is highly endorsed by lead- ins' Judges and breeders. His prices are very reasonable and our readers can secure either breeding stock or eggs for hatching from his yards that will more than give satisfaction. -X- -X- One of the best flocks of Partridge Wyandottes in the West Is the one owned by C. L. & L. S. Greer. Zion City. 111. They have five pens of birds mated this season and every bird In them Is a high-grade specimen. Their flock also averages high In egg yield and the birds are healthy and vigorous. These facts are assurances that their egg customers will get full value for their money. Their winnings at Zlon City show this season were 1st, 3rd cock, 3rd cockerel, 1st, 2nd, 3rd hens, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th pul- lets, 1st, 2nd pens; also special for best cock in American class, best pen In American class and best In show. -X- -Jf Among the Western breeders of Barred Plymouth Rocks there is none with a better standing in the fraternity and higher quality of stock than E. F. Pelrce. R. F. D. 1. Port Clinton, Ohio. Mr. Pelrce has been a breeder of Barred Plymouth Rocks exclusively for a great many years and has repeatedly won the coveted prizes at leading shows. He has a reputation for satisfying his customers In every way and our readers will find it a pleasure to do business with him. He is In position to give cus- tomers entire satisfaction because he has the right kind of stock and eggs and is willing t^ send out just what he promises. He has been a prominent win- ner this season at C'eveland, Willoughby and ToledO: Ohio. He has a number of Kr*nd breeding bird.s for sale and Is also sliipping eg."??, from his several pens of choice prize w:i;/iipg birds. Blanrbard's Rose Comb R. I. Reds RgKS icr hatchnv.

Mich., whose ad. appears upon another page, exhibited his Barred Plymouth Rocks at the West Michigan State show, where one of his cockerels scored 93. whose sire and grand sire were first prize l)irds. Mr. Patterson's birds have been bred in line for several years, and tlieir breeding (jualities are seldom equaled. His birds are compact, sym- metrical in form, deep full breast and broad backs with small firmly set combs. During the years Mr. Patterson has been l)reeding. he has given much study to produce regular barring with even blue color and narrow clean-cut bars which have made his strain of Harred Ply- mouth Rocks popular. Honest value is his aim. but he does not try to compete in price with l)reeders of inferior stock, and he will no doubt hv heard from in many show rooms.

Can you enlighten me any? Last year 1 purchased a pen of Minorcas. Every egg was fertile and after the egg sea- son I took the cock bird (two years old now) away from the hens and kept them separate until al)out six or eight weeks ago, and so far this season not one" of the eggs from this cock's pen of seven pullets has been fertile. The male bird weighs ten pounds and is a very strong and hearty bird, J)ut he does not seem to care much about having anything to do with the pullets. He seems to have "lost his grip." Kindly advise if there is anything I can do to him to bring him around again as he was lu'fore? Answer — This may l)e due to one or more of the following causes: (1) It may be due to the feeding. The l)ird may be too fat, and therefore sluggish; he may have been kept too closelv con- fined, wliich to a greater or U'ss extent I)roduces debility, or he may have been fed upon too much carbonaceous food, and lack of protein material. (2) It may br due to the season. It is no un- common thing to have cock birds fail t(j fertilize eggs during cold weather. Such birds often become sexually vigorous when the weather becomes warm, even though they have been practically im- potent before that. For early fertile eggs as a rule cockerels are more re- liable than cocks. (3) It may be due to his age. There is no fixed time when a cock loses his sexual vitality. It is uncommon but not impos.-^ible for one to years old. We have had vigorous at four years of heard of them at a still we have seen cockerels were practically impotent, wheTher had l)een allowed to run withfe- do this at two cocks sexually age, and have older age. and that thev males or kept in a state of celibacy. What to do about such a case would de- pend upon the cause of the bii'd's in- diff(-rence to his mates. The one ccM'tain remedy is to obtain a young, vigorous I He Tf one does not M ish to do that, the next be.st tliiag is to feed less cor.n and wheat and more oats and lean meat, to provide plenty if exeNn^e iri the open air, to induce HiJU-.dan- o of scratcliing and wait for vi-aimer duyb.

I have this best quality, because I have some of the grandest specimens in America. They are the noted Regal quality, the kind that has won the highest honors in the show room. The Best White Wyandotte Record Was made at Guelph the "Madison Square Garden" of Canada, where the cele- brated Regal Strain, made a record never before surpassed. First Cock in a class of 37 and second Cockerel in a class of 55 are in my pens. My best winning was at Indianapolis, Indiana, the Quality Show of America First Cock and first Pullet on an entry of three birds. Medal for best Cock, medal for best Pullet, only exhibit or winning two first prizes in this class. A noted record indeed, when it is considered that my competitors scoured the country for birds to win at this show.

Breeding Problems for Fanciers Sixth Article in the Series Which Began in December Poultry Fancier — Importance of Color — How to Secure Certain Colors and Depth of Color by Feeding and Environment By EDWIN H. MORRIS LSKIX said "If you can color per- fectly, you arc sure to be able to do anythino else," and the fancier who is successful in breeding for color, thinks little of his and others' results with shape, etc., which arc compar- atively easy. Hence the evperienced smile at the ignorance of the would-be expert, who is in reality a tyro, when he prates about shape or type being about every- thing and color quite trivial, and the judge who puts this estimate in his decisions, is certainly not the highest authority even when licensed bv an Chicago King.

Grand Rapids, Mich. association of poultry fanciers and it becomes the duty of the press— or publicity— to sec that he does not hold the center of the stage, as the star artist. Beauty, though a joy forever, is said to be skin deep. Color certainly has much to do with the making of what is called beauty and if it is but feather deep in birds, the public endorse it at every show, by evident appreciation and it brings the dol- lars whilst the other elements produce cents. The birds' poise, grace and elegance (not yet provided for in score cards), with symmetry and carriage, though generally valued more highly than shape, need fine feathers to gain the beauty award. To produce fine feathers, with luster, correct blends, harmony of color, metallic sheen, richness and finish, is therefore the highest test of the fa'n- cier*s skill. A (lumpy, shapeless thing in feathers or .)tlier- wise, may appeal to the few as "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's dailv food,'' but the casual observer doesn't rave over such; queens are not of that shai)e, type nor varictv, and angels are not pictured thus. r>esides. the greatest minds have not lost much .sleep in an analysis of such elements, whether in curves or angular, whilst the scientists for ages past have focused their intellect upon the cause of color. After propounding elaborate theories, with unpro- nouncable technical terms, these great minds h.id to admit that the sum of their researches as far as feathers are concerned, was that pigmentation is a substance. This is how Keeler puts it: 'Tigment is a definite chemical substance which travels through the various branches of the feather, advancing farthest and most rapidly along the lines of least resi.stance and accumulating in mas.ses where resistance is greatest." This is given the poor expectant fancier, in the face of the fact that it was known a decade since that -there is a family of African birds known as Turacos or Plantain-eaters, containing twenty-five species, of which eighteen manifest the following extraordinary phenomena: On certain w-ing feath- ers, of dark violet ground color, are patches and spots of bright crim.son ; also in some, on a few head feathers. The crimson soaks out into cold water, and birds kept in captivity wash out these patches to a dirty white in their bath, while the wild ones !)ccome a dirty grey or very pale pink in the season! In dilute ammonia it dossolves easily. Analysis shows this color to ccmtain seven per cent of its Aveight,'' etc.— Lewis Wright's "Book of Poultry." Yes, indeed, "pigment is a definite chemical sub- stance." sure enough and many of the pages of our poultry papers have been used in conveving this profound deduclion to the dense ( ?) and long-suffer- ing fancy, after its being prepared to expect some knowledge as to what this pigmentation substance is, how it is concocted, how conveyed, what its prop- erties are and how it can be j)laced where it is wanted in the shortest possible time. Vet the fancier who plays with colors with greater .skill than the artist who daubs those prepared for him upon canva.s, remains a mere fancier, and these .scientific gentlemen need the greater part of the alphabet for proper designation. If they failed in the search for the cause of color, the fancier is not going to be left in showing the influence color has in producing the beautiful. The beautiful maiden, with all such charms as grace, .symmetry poise and motion, receives the finishing touch when the blood rushes to her cheek, producing a blush. This ru.sh of blood is effected by vigor, health, nutrition environment, age and the emotions, lience pigmentation or color must be this same effect in more or less abundance, transformed into a sub- stance that can be conveved to feathers.

These tacts should make it clear that breeding for color is a higher art than breeding for form, and knowing that the production of harmonious prisma- tic hues brings into pla\' a uK^re ample talent, should not every fancier work so that once and for all time, in perfecting the Standard of Perfection, the equal- ity basis of form and color shall he expuno^ed. \\ ith regard to an estimate of varied forms of color it may be said that barring is common in nature (tnrkevs. owls, hawks and other birds have it), hut lacing' as seen in the Sebright Bantam and Silver Buff Orpington Pullet, Seven Months Old, Imported from Eng- land by Milton W.

Personality Affects Uniform Judging Absolute Harmony Will Never Be Secured Either in Score Card or Comparison Judging, but Greater Uniformity is Possible By H. S. BABCOCK II H pool fN.pe has said that "Fools rush in wIuto angels fear to tread," and pcrha])s that may be (juoted against mc lur "hutting'" into the discussion on uniformity in judging. That sucli Tmitonnity is desirable goes without sayinj^ ; that exact uniformity is im- possible I believe to be true: that a nearer approxi- mation to exact uniformity may be obtained seems a reasonable expectation. One reason why exact uniformity in judging seems to me to be impossible of attainment is that the personal equation is something that never can be wholly eliminated. T.ecause yon are vou and I am I, our ideas of tb j meaning of a descriptive phrase will diflPer in so le degree; what we see in the same object will vary; our sensations will receive a varying interpretation. To illustrate, my father and I were looking at a tine l^arred Plvm- outh Rock. 1 suggested that the plumage pro- duced upon my eye a sensation that my brain interpreted as blueness. but my father declared that he could see nothing of the kind, nothing in fact but black and white. He saw the separate elements of the plumage, while I saw the effect of the com- bination of those elements. Xeither of us were color blind, but colors nevertheless produced dif- ferent ettects upon our minds. The example cited is one of broad differences: between trained judges such broad differences would not be likely to exist; but .some differences would be sure to be there. I have scored a bird 94^/2. which had been previously scored 94 by Mr. T. K. f^>lch ; I scored a Black I.angshan hen in two successive years 95 and 94 '/4, and the two years preceding she had been scored by two other prominent judges 9;') and 95. But while there was this close approximation in scores, there were minor differences in the scores of sec- tions, showing that we did not all .see exactly alike, — the personal equation affected the result. For example, in the bird scored by Mr. Felch and myself 94 and 94>^, Mr. T'elch cut y^ point for defective color of the eyes, while I passed the color of the eyes without a cut: .Mr. helch thought it sufficiently defective to demand a cut ; I deemed it suflficiently perfect to pass uncut. We saw the same thing — the same bird and used the same ^standard — but our interpretations varied. One can go through the American Standard of Perfection and select descriptions of shape and of color, and no two judges will understand them in exactly the same way. A Leghorn comb which I thought too large, Mr. fleck might think just right, or vice versa, and yet it would be the same comb with the same standard description. Much, perhaps, might be done to bring about greater uniformity in judging. Standard descrip- tions, supplemented by illustrations, might be im- prt»vod by being made more definite and exact; ideas of coU>r could be rendered more exact bv tlie use of color cards in connection with the defini- tions, something advocated years ago; exchange of ideas among judges would be helpful; scoring c<»ntests might be carried on with profit, as, indeed, 1 believe they are at the Rhode Island College; a campaign of education with pen and pencil, de- scriptive text and illustration, would aid in the good work ; all these things would tend to draw the ideas of judges into greater accord, but they would not and could not, in my opinion do away with the personal equation. To do that human nature would have to be remade on another and different plan, and that is the prerogative of the Creator, not of his creatures. The ideal,, then, should be, not uniformity, but a close approximation to uniformity in judging, just as close in fact as the ])ersonal equation will per- mit. Not to attempt the impossible, but to attempt to secure the greatest possible uniformity in judg- ing is worthy of a strong and combined effort. The attainment of this ideal will be secured by the use of no single means, but through a combination of many means, .some of which have been suggested in the preceding paragraphs. Anything that will tend to hasten this most desirable condition is of sufficient importance to be employed. But the thing, which more than any other, in my opinion, will help to secure the desired end, is fuller illus- tration of the standard to aid in the definition of shape, and the use of color cards to render the definition of color terms more intelligible. One can not define color in words. To a greater or less degree we are all in the condition of the blind man wdio defined scarlet to be like the sound of a trumpet. We .^ay, for example, ''golden buff." but what do the words mean? The first refers us to the appearance of the metal, gold, the second to some object we have seen which is a combination of yellow and red: but gold itself varies in color, and there are buffs and buffs, varying in the pro- portions of red and yellow in their composition. But if we had a glossary of colors, and opposite the term ''golden buff" there was a card indicating what the words meant, we should all get a clearer and more distinct idea of the term, and an idea which, though not exactly the same, for your eyes would see one thing and mine another, would be so nearly alike that we would make a closely sim- ilar application of it in judging. I know that printed colors, and the live colors on the bird, can never be exactly alike. Dead pigments can only partially convey the idea of live colors. But despite this fact, due allowance for which would have to be made by the judges in their actual work, the color card would do much in securing definite and uniform color ideas — a long step towards .se- curing imiformity in judging. While shape can be defined in words more accurately than can color, still in terms descriptive of shape pictorial defini- tion is needed, and the more illustrations we have defining shape, provided of course they are good ones, the clearer will be our idea upon what is f:'i>:'^3l3^ouLrrRY fancier meant by the Standard, and the nearer will the judges come to each other in their scores of the .same bird. Give us an illustrated Standard, in colors or with color cards, and let every important term receive its pictorial definition; u.^e all other '-^^ ^ ;="■.. V T Page 137 . means to ])rom()te uniformity in judging; and then, even though the personal equation will i)revent exact nnifonuiiy. we still secure a near approxima- tion to it. which is all that can be reasonablv expected. Double Matings— A Correction Reasons Why It Is a Hopeless Task to Bnng About Conditions Under Which Single Mating Will Be Generally Practiced. By H. S. BABCOCK \ the April Poultry Fancter, Mr. ]. \\\ Whitney pays me the com- pliment of discussing some of the views [ expressed about double mat- ings in the previous issue. Refer- ring to that article, he says. *'r)Ut he has lost sight of the fact that all that ever necessi- tated the use of double matings, at any stage of the game, has been a disposition upon the part of fan ciers to produce an artificial product,''* etc. I fear that .Mr. Whitney either did not read mv contribution very carefullV or that he misunder- stood what I said. On page 70, after describing how the fancier made his standard, T said, "In other words, his ideal or standard is not natural but artificial — not such as nature unaided would produce, but such as nature, dii^ected and guided and controlled by man, can be made to produce." In the following paragraph I also said, "We are to remend^er that our breeds and varieties are largely artificial creations, * - '^ Tt is not. therefore, very surprising that man should make an artificial standard for artificial fowls, and employ artificial methods to produce them true to this standard." Does the abo\ e look as if T had lost sight of that fact? How could T have expressed the idea more clearly and more forcibly' It seems to me that the fact was never lost sight of. That article, however, was not written for the puri)ose of advocating any particular s> stem of mating, but only to show in plain terms the reason why double matings were .^o comiuonly employed by fanciers. Xo claim was made that the double mating system was more or less scientific than the single mating system, ^fy sympathies, indeed, are in favor of single matings. but sympathies should not blind one's eyes to facts. For years 1 labored earnestiv in behalf of the single mating system, and, in the aitein])t to nake my practice consistent with my doctrine, I sacrificed the prospects of an admirable new \arietv. ]\ut I was voung and more enthusiastic then : reforms, which now seem impossible to effect, onlv stimulated me to new- efforts: and T had to learn through costly experi- ence the truth of the proverb that "Knowledge comes, hut wisdom lingers." I knew that double matings were employed because they produced de- sired results, but I did not know that this fact out- weighed and overshadowed all considerations of natural methods, convenience, economy and taste. I have since learned this truth. While 1 admire the knightly valor of anyone who breaks a lance in the attemi)t to o\erthrow the system of double matings, in view of what T have learned I can not be expected to ha\e equal admirati(Mi for his dis- cretion. It seems to me too much like butting one's head against a solid stone wall. T wouldn't discourage the work, hut 1 am willing that others should do it. T have had my try at it. and the residt \\as the re\erse of encouraging. The only method, it seems to me, which off'ers a single ray of hope of success, is to educate the fancier to believe that the birds which can be pro- duced by the single are superior to and nmre beau- tiful than those produced by the double mating system: in other words, change the ideal< (if the fancier and he will change h.is standards.

This ray of ho]-)e, however, shines but feebly "amid the encircling gloom," while the task of convincing fanciers that their ideals are wrong and Iieir standards a mistake looms dark and formidable. Still, if the attempt is to be made, it should be made against the weak- est point in the lines of the opposing forces, and this seems to me to be the only place at which there is any possibility of making a successful as- sault. Those who do and dare in such an assault will need to be armed with competent knowledge of what constitutes a natural standard, buoyed up by a genuine and generous enthusiasm, and sus- tained l)v a ])rofound conviction that their cause is ju^t.

The Spot Light Turned on Judging First Attempt Ever Made to Publish Names, Scores and Other DetaUed Information Showing How Near Judges Come to Scoring Alike-Facts and Not Theories are Presented^A Fair Sample of Just How Much Uniformity of Opinion There is Among Judges By FRANK HECK EWERAL months a^o Pol'ltrv Fan- CFKR Started a movement to agitate the question of uniform judging and to induce fanciers to take a greater in- terest in tlie matter with a view to- w-ard securing greater uniformity. Our cflforts have been enthusiastically supported by fanciers and judges in all sections of the country, and the resultant discussions in the poultry press are pro- ducing tangible, helpful results. Among the many cases of lack of uniform judging which were brought to our attention was an experi- ence of Mr. 11. E. Rogers. La Crosse, Wis., who ex- hibited a lot of his Rose Comb Brown Leghorns last :i--- nor has the name of the breeder of the birds been here- tofore mentioned. The shows at which the birds were shown are as fol- lows : Clinton, Iowa. Nov. 24-27, 1908; Marshall, judge. Walnut, 111., Dec. 1-4, 11)08; Ott, judge. Rochester, Minn., Dec. 8-14, 1908; Holdcn, judge. Zion City, 111.. Jan. (i-9, 1909; Heck, judge. MLnneapoHs, Minn., Jan. 13-19, 1909; EHison, judge. St. Paul, Minn., heb. 10-17. 1909 ; Butterfield, judge. The greatest difference in the score of any individual bird was 0:ki ]X)ints or a range of 88% to 941/2 on a hen and this bird was used by us in commenting upon the subject. After securing the score cards of all the judges we discovered an error in the 94 V2 point card which had been overlooked by the judge the show officials and the owner of the bird. The card contained no cuts for shape except on comb. There, of course, never was and never will be a perfect shaped bird, and the error is too plain to be questioned. The judge ex- plains it by stating that his attention must have been diverted from his work after he had examined the bird for color and had returned her to the coop preparatory to getting her shape. This is a quite common occur- THE MAN WHO OWNS THE- HEN. This «8 Mr. H. E. Rogers, 929 Mississippi St., La Crosse, Wis., the man who bred the hen which has attracted so much atten- tion.

I Names and Addresses of the Fourteen Judges Who Scored the Rose Comb Brown Leghorn Hen From SSH to 93 Points rence where judges are interrupted every few moments by the questions and explanations of exhibitors and show officials. We mailed a photograph of the bird to the judge referred to and lie requested us to add to his score card 1/2 point cut for shape of back, Vm for breast and V» for tail, making a total of IV2 points. Not one of the fourteen judges who handled the bird gave her less than V/± on shape sections, and there can- not be the slightest reason for not deducting this amount authorized by the judge vv^ho made the 9IV2 ■r!-.-, ^^^^ .^'v.i-. ■ ^y.'.rf^ Ulsi^^>POULTRY FANCIER*^ Page 139 point card. This sliould make his score 93 points, and it reduces the difference of opinion among all the judges to l'/4 points, or within tfie range of 88.M to 9:5. Tliis is difference enough, and at first glance seems to be wliolly inexcusable, but an analysis of the mat- ter shows thai conditions are not as bad as the fi^-ures indicate.

The above picture is a fairly good one of the Rose Comb Brown Leghorn hen which holds the world's record of being scored by more Judges in one season than any other bird. She was exhibited at six shows during the past season and in nearly ^Mtvy case was awarded first or second prize. She has also been shipped by Poultry Fancier to various sections of the country to be scored privately and has traveled approximately ten thousand miles. She bears the distinction of having done more than any other bird toward demonstrating to just what extent uniformity in judging exists. to acknowledge that it could be much better, and that judges themselves onght to be just as much interested as any one else in making it better. .\ detailed e.xami- nation of the score cards shows some remarkable cases of unifornutv as well as some of lack of uniformity. I'\)r siiape of breast two <<}\ the judges passed her with no cut. one of them cut her '}4, one of them cut her 1 and ten of them each gave her ^ 2- 1 '^vo cut her 1 point for color of breast, three cut her ^/^ ami nine cut her Vi'« Page 140 ^,,j ■"»£*: Poultry fancier^ Twelve gave her no >hapc cm tor body, and the other two cut her Vi- - Nine cut her \{> for color of body, one cut her y^, one cm her 1 point and three passed her without a cut. The shape cuts on win^^s consisted of V-i p«^>int by one of the judges and 1 point by another, the former mak- ing a notation ''broken Higln feather." The other twelve failed to see any defect in shape of wings and passed them without a cut. Nine of them cut her 1 point on color of wings, two cut her •'^'1 and three cut her 1%. Seven cut her ^2 point for shape of tail, two cut her Y4, three cut her 1 point, one cut her IV2 and one passed her as perfect, but this is the judge who cut her 1 point for shape of wings and we are inclined to believe that the clerk at ilie show made an error and liglu which makes defects more easily discernible and has a tendency tc^ward producing lower scores. It is not our desire however to make excuses for all the dif- ferences that exist in the opinions of these fourteen judges. Some of them are inexcusable. The result may be all that we can expect under present conditions, but even if that is true, it is also true that conditions can and should be changed. They can be changed more quicklv and be made more harmonious by getting the judges together in personal conference than by any other method, but the interchange of ideas by mail through an efficient organiaztion of judges would ac- coniphsh wonders. The little efforts of Poultry Fancier in the case of this Brown Leghorn hen could hf improved upon a hundred fold, and tliey could not oossibly fail to create greater uniformity in judging. Partridge Plymouth Rock. Typical of the Wolverine strain as bred by J. A. Hagcman. Box P. F.. Charlotte. Mich. Hageman is a prominent leader In this variety and has bred many v/lnners. Mr. placed this 1 point cut in the wing column when the judge called it for tail. The color of tail was cut V2 by thirteen of the judges and the other one cut it 1 point. There are a great many things that should be taken into consideration before forming conclusions from the above figures. Eight of the judges who handled the bird did so after the show season and after she had been in the breeding pen nearly two months. Her plumage was of course in poorer condition and some- what faded in color which would necessarily make a difference in her score. Some of the judges who handled her at their homes may have gone at it more leisurely than they would in the s'low room, where haste is generally a necessity, and thev may have found defects that are not so easily discovered at the shows. There is also the possibility of errors similar to the one which gave the bird a score of O4V2 when the judge intended it to be 93. Some show rooms arc poorly lighted while others have an abundance of day- Let us consider, for instance, the cuts made by these fotirteen judges on the wing color of the bird. Two of them cut her ^i. The other twelve men cut her more than % and nine of them cut her 1 point. These two men should for the sake of harmony, and could very consistently, raise their cut 14 point, making it 1 point instead of %. This would make eleven men cut the wing 1 point and would leave the other three with their idea of 1V>. They, for the same reasons men- tionel above, should be willing to drop the V2 point and agree upon 1 point, which would make all of the fourteen unanimous in their work, and the next itme they handled a bird with approximately the same kind of a wing, their judging would be much more uniform. .\ little effort to remember and to retain in the mind's eve these :Ca;^«S:2«!S'£>>'i<** ^*^'*, i-' - X^'f^>.i fH. m I •ika^l^b ^■'^■^■^\tViA-'.i!^-r^^.1,''.*^'(iLfKy»^diJ'f^^ The Gold Medal Strain of. i'«^**wA*«y^s**S«-ft i \^'^HEHCHtCAGO\ # # « ;<,'.*Tni.',-.,-.-?!njppnfc^jT^-., ,, ._4Va-;j^>-*sw '.'■ ' K'y^ .-^^pr.-„:um.,^ ' mk g^ I • _ /-s-T- cac/<^£:z, DcAi9£>o72rf. t>a S.D.LAPHAM DE>\RBORrNl, MICH. *:■".,■*'• ■*'*^\ OULTRY FANCIER^ May, '09 :s2 EDITORIAL PAGE Poultry Fancier Publiibed under the name Faocy Fowl* for 1 0 yean. 1897 to 1907.

The circulation of Poultry Faru:ier is national in character. It is the only poultry journal pub- lished solely in the interests of fanciers, the people who coDidtule practically the entire fraternity. The missioa of Poultry Fancier is to teach breeders how to produce the beautiful and valu- able Standard bred birds which are the founda- tion of «U profit and pleasure in poultry raising. May, 1909. The Revision of the Standard Judging from the more or less in- complete and unofficial information which has leaked out regarding the work of the Revision Committee it is fair to assume that the new Standard will in many respects be a great im- provement over the old one. and he it remembered that the old one i^ not by any means a second class affair. There is room for improvement in it and there will be room for improvement in future ones. The perfect btandard IS like the perfect chicken in that no one ever expects to see either. The new book will contain several changes of rules which when previously adopted were supposed to be juiit what were needed. We predict that some of the rules which it is now pro- posed to adopt will be just as surely revoked in the future- We refei par- ticularly to the cutting down of the list of disqualifications. We believe this to be a mistake and there is no question about it being a backward step. As long as a bird is not abso- lutely disqualified and thrown out of its class, the majority of breeders will exhibit it and will give it a place in their breeding pens. Clean legged va- rieties with feathers on their legs will i)t common. Breeds that are sup- posed to have red ear lobes will have white ones. White plumaged birds will be bred with black in them and many other serious defects in varioud breeds will be perpetuated to the det- riment ot the breed itself and the linancial loss of breeders unless the fraternity in general becomes satis- tied with birds of inferior quality. We believe, though, that the pendu- lum will swing back again and then the breeders who have kept their str;»ins free from these unsightly de- fects will reap a rich reward in the de- mand for the better birds. This in our opinion is going to be an excellent chance for those breeders to fix them- selves securely at the top who main- tain the quality of their flocks and cull just as rigidly as before. It is quality that counts arid we can't get the birds too good. If your neighbor wants to breed culls let him do it but keep your own flocks up and you will find that it pays financially as well as in the satisfaction of knowing that by supe- rior skill in mating and breeding you have raised and exhibited and sold the better quality of stock. Two Leagues of Poultry Associ- ations Organized Upon another page appears an an- nouncement of the organization of the Illinois League of Poultry Associa- tions, which is something new and which, if properly handled, ought to be of great benefit to poultry shows and exhibitors. One other similar or- ganization was formed recently in Pennsylvania and these two, we be- lieve, are the first of their kind. Some of the many advantages of the plan are outlined in the item above re- ferred to and there are others equally as desirable. We trust that these two movements will be pushed vigorously and that they will be wisely managed. Something of the kind has long been needed and if these give evidence of usefulness, they will not be long in the field alone. Anything that creates more poultry shows and helps those already in existence is deserving of the hearty support of all who are in- terested in Standard bred fowls be- cause more and better shouts mean more recruits to the ranks of breed- ers and a more prosperous business for those who arc in it financially. Read the Record on Pages 138 and 139 AU who are interested in the ques- tion of uniform judging will find on pages 138 and 139 further details of the case which we have been placing before readers during the past two months. The work of fourteen well known judges representing the east and the west is given publicity and comparisons are made which are not only interesting in themselves but are of special value in determining how near judges approach perfect uniformity and what the chances are for improvement along this line. It is clearly shown that conditions are not as deplorable as some people would have us believe, notwithstand- ing the fact that there is a wide dif- ference in some of the score cards. It also annears, and is undeniably true, that judges can be brought much olo>er together than they are at the present time. When eleven men out of fourteen will take a rose comb and each cut it the same amount, iVi points as was done in this case, we arc not yet ready to believe that poul- try judges cannot be made to see some things alike. There is not a more difficult section to judge than a rose comb and if they can agree upon a point like this there is every reason for encouragement in the be- lief that other sections can be judged just as harmoniously. All through the work of these fourteen judges there arc remarkable cases of uni- forinitv. considering the unfavorable conditions of the test and there are also many cases where absolute uni- formitv would prevail if two, three or four of the men would revise their ideas slightly to harmonize with the big majority. There is no excuse for one or two men "hanging the jury" in a case of this kind. One man may be right and the other eleven wrong and he may be justified in making a mule of him- self in preventing an agreement if he is a member of the proverbial jury where another man is on trial for his life, but that sort of business has no place in the judging of poultry and we do not believe that there are many of that kind of judges. If there are any they should be forced to do the right thing and yield to the will of the majority. It is far more import- ant that they sacrifice a mite of their personal opinion and their hobbies than that the business interests of thousands of breeders be adversely affected. Conditions will be greats- improved when breeders themselves take sufficient interest in the matter to safeguard their welfare. The judges cannot be accused of being wholly in- different in the matter because they have shown their willingness to help improve conditions. What is needed is concerted action upon the part of judges, exhibitors, tht American Poultry Association and the poultry press. When these influences are combined in well directed effort, then will we have as nearly perfect work as possible and so near perfect that there will be no complaint from reas- onable people. A School for Judges Judge Tucker informs us that he will conduct a school for judging and breeding Standard bred fowls. The dates are August ir)th to 21st and in- struction will be given at his farm at Concord, Mich. He will have over sixty varieties of fowls to work w'th and the birds are of high quality. Judge Tucker is one of the acknowl- edged leaders and authorities. lie can greatly help all young judges and breeders and we suggest that all who are interested write him for terms and other details.

McReynolds was born in the South and from the fact that he loves to be called an old reb- el and other whatnot, we gatlier that he was bred there. Throughout the country he is getting better known from each succeeding issue of the Southern P^oultryman. In fact, he is getting as well along toward fame as Latham's Barred Rock bantams. Early in life he bcgati to show a great aptitude for raising chickens and Cain and lemons, and mixing the three, he manages to grind out some stout editorials. .\pprcciating the fact that the printed word is of long- er duration than the -poken one. he early took to writing with one hand, and it has proven .««uch a great recre- ntion for him that during the last de- cade it has served to keep his larder safe from the attacks of the wolves.

Editor Poultry Fancier: I have been much interested in the exi)lanations of those six judges who scored the Brown Leghorn pullet at 88^i to 94J/2. The question that bobs up in my mind is, how much better would they have done under com- parison? If I had a million dollars. I would be willing to wager that the same six judges could not go into a show of a hundred Brown Leghorn? and all give the same figure to the same, birds to save their lives. Dr. H. F. Ballard.

Reds, and Barred Rocks (with some of them cut for under weight and others for over weight) in open competition with a large class of Leghorns, of all ages and sizes, and not a Leghorn cut for size. Would you be satisfied with such treatment? I don't blame the judges as long as there Is no weight clause for Leghorns. Let a Judge cut a Leghorn for under size, and there would soon be a rough house. After reading what most of the Leg- horn breeders have to say I'm almost convinced that the Leghorn isn't good fc* anything but the eggs the hens lay, and if the Leghorns were given a weight clause, no difference what the weights might be, that they would quit the egg business right there and then. but allow me to say that the number of eggs a hen lays does not depend on the size of the hen, but the breed and breed- ing. One breeder, to make the matter plain, made a comparison with the Jer- sey cattle, a small breed, and the Dur- hams, one of the large breeds; in other words, he objects to fixing the Standard weight for Leghorns the same as the Light Brahmas: cock 12 pounds, hen 914 pounds; such talk as that is non- sense. Their weights would be fixed according to the class they belong in. One more thing and then I'm through; it seems that some of the Leghorn breeders have the idea that in breeding some of the larger breeds all we have to do is to watch the young birds boil right up to the Standard weight; press a button and the thing is settled cor- rectly, but conditions are the reverse. It takes careful breeding, good feed, and the best of care to have the birds reach the Standard weight, and many never do. Still I think it'9 best and that all breeds should have the weight clause.

F! d i t o r Po i; lt r n- Fa x c i k r : We do not feed little chicks until they are ^S hours old. We u>e the following plan, which we have fotmd to be the best down to date: Last year the mortality among our chicks was very light. We bed our brood- ers with a couple of inches of sifted chaff from the hay loft. Heat the brooder up to 100 degrees under the hover before placing the chicks in the machine. Place a drinking foun- tain in the scratch r(K)m of the brooder; scatter some pearl chirk grit in the chaff. .After the chicks are 48 hours old scatter a handful of steel cut oat meal in the chaff'. Feed nothing but steel cut oats for the first three days. .After that feed the best commercial chick feed that you can buy. and remember that the highest price is not always the best. After the chicks are a few days old we let them run out on the ground where they get all the green feed they need. After ten days old we place a hopper of beef scraps and one of good wheat bran where chicks can have access to it at all times. After chicks arc six weeks old we feed wheat, clipped oats, cracked corn, beef scraps and green cut bone, and plenty of fresh water. Keep the brooders clean and change the litter often. By using this meth- od we find that the chicks thrive and that we can raise a very large per cent of them to maturity. Tazewell Poultry Yards. Van Osdal & Shell. Props. Pekin. 111. GETTING WARMED UP SELF. HIM- Editor ?()» LTRY F.ancikr.— I have been watching these argu- ments in Poultry F.^ncier about double and single mating and am get- ting warmed up myself. I hope they Tvill continue until something happens whereby these now double mated va- rieties will have a chance to reclaim the position they once held in the poul- try fancy. Just so sure as anything, double mating takes from the popularity of a fancy bred fowl. If the whole people could he educa- ted to the fact that the object of the Standard and the fanciers is to see how near perfection can be reached, along two extremes, and there was sufficient compensation for the best specimens, above birds of equal value of the sin- gle mated varieties, to offset the extra cost and effort to produce same, it might then have a tendency to equal- ize matters. ?rr!r?^-.-.r.a.^ '-..': WAT, fe But what is the rule? The highest prices ever known were reiieived for birds of the single mated varieties. Can anyone see where a Brown Leg- horn is so unsightly, such a poor layer, develops so slowly, so poor at foraging and so coarse meated that they should not be among the top notchers? Don't all speak at once. Now I'd like to know the man who can breed Brown Leghorns that will win in New York. Chicago or Boston, males and females from the same mating. And I woula like to ask double mating breeders how many of those females in your cockerel mating pen could you sell at a fancy price, or, in fact, could you make a per- son not familiar with double mating believe they were even thoroughbred Leghorns? Show him your pullet line. Oh, yes, those look like Leghorns to me. I don't want those dark straight- combed birds. Oh, but you must have them to produce your show oockerela. Well, if that's the case I guess I'll take up some other kind. I like the white ones pretty well, they show the soil a little more, but I have only one pen. etc., etc., and there you are. But who is going to make the sac- rifice? I like the pullet line fine. A good pullet bred male looks good to me, and those soft brown pullets that approach nearest the Standard I think are great. When conditions are so it Is doubt- ful if you get even a fair show speci men from the first male and female of smy variety at a good show. I think It is time to sit up and take notice. Aurora, III.

Secretary. •> ♦ Buff Leghorn Club Catalogue The fact that Illinois has a greater number of Barred Rock breeders than any other state in America sippealed to those present at the Illinois State Show January 7. 1909, that the time wa.s ripe when every breeder of the state should be asked to become one of us so that we may unitedly keep the Barred Rock in the forefront of all standard vari- eties in the future as in the past. This we can with all confidence do, provided we can enroll the name of every breeder, no matter whether he breeds many or few Join us. We can be of mutual help as well as instill new life Into the national club. It takes work, skill and close study to produce quality Barred Rocks; no others are worth spending time on. As members of this organi- zation, through an annual catalogue we will give an exchange of views, up-to- date methods on all subjects pertaining to bringing this variety to greater per- fection. »s well as maintaining their popularity.

At Chicago, Dec., 1908 they won Itt and 4th cockerek, 1st, 3d and 4th pullets, 2d and 4th cocks, 2d, 4th and 5th hens and 1st pen. This grand record won in competition with the leading breeders of the west and added to the past record of the Halbach strain places it right in the lead. Sixty acres devoted to White Rocks. I have spent years in building up my strain and when you buy stock from my yards you get birds that are not only topnotchers themselves, but they will breed true and produce highest exhibition qualities. They will breed and win for you just as they do for me. My prices are reasonable and you can buy ttie best at figures that you can welt afford to pay. Both old and young stock is large in size, clear white, big boned with rich ycUow legs and in fact typical White Rocks in every respect. Their record proves theh- quality.
