JUDGING AT POULTRYSHOWS
Method of Scoring According; to the
Standard Specimen Card.
At all poultry shows, fall and win
ter, so called poultry judges, men who
are well versed fn the standard require
ments and who make it a business of
judging -poultry, either by comparing
two or more birds together or by use
of what Is called a score card, judge
'he fowls on exhibition, and the cash
iremiums or prize ribbons are given
to the birds that come nearest to per
fectionthat is, to standard require
ments. Comparison judging, as it is
called, Is the popular method at the
fall fairs, mainly from the fact that
poultry at that season of the year Is
not In the pink of condition for exhi
bition purposes. The young stock is
too young to be in full feather, and
the old stock is In the molt that is,
shedding its old feathers and putting
on a new plumage with which to go
Into the winter season. On the other
hand, from Nov. 1 to Feb. 15. the sea
son of the winter poultry exhibitions,
both the young and old fowls are In
fine feather and show up to the best
advantage. At 80 to 90 per cent of
the winter shows the score card Is
used, but at the largest shows, notably
Boston, New York and Chicago, com
parison seems to meet with greater
favor and give general satisfaction.
We print herewith an official score
card as provided by the American
Poultry association:

Poultry Keeper.
Poultry In Early California Times,
The original parentage of all the
choice fowls In the Facltlc coast states
ot today came from breeders east of
tne Rocky mountains, and It might be
said they came overland, as but few
were brought around the Horn or by
way of Panama and those only that
were of the first Importations. In the
fifties and sixties, before the Union and
Central Pacific railways strung their
wires, a few good birds were landed In
San Francisco from steamers, but
these were In the bands of the very few
who ordered them round Just to satisfy
a whim or please an individual fad.
Among this few was one William
Trask, who In the spring of 1853 im
ported two trios of Cochin Chinas, as
they were then termed, birds that prov
ed to be layers of two dozen eggs each
per annum except the males. They
"laid" for feed from morning till night
Ellsha Cuinmliigs brought round by
water three Chittnsongs the flour bar
rel type, undertand. This was In 1859.
These fowls attiai-ted a deal of atten
tion because of uielr great size. They
were somothiii new evou In the east
and were ai once In favor as they be
came more gcncrnMy known for the
reason that they were so very different
from any iluiiirstie fowls people In this
country hiul rver si-i n r:v wore "equal
to a turkey wln-n d. css-il." They also
had Itirgt'. inuslciil voices ' he cocks
the crowing lieiiv in length equal to
the extension of the tiecli. Dr. S. L.

THOUSANDS OF PIGEONS.
California Hat the Largest Pigeon
Hanch In the World.
Ten thousand flying pigeons and
5,000 little ones in the nests present
the unique spectacle shown In the ac
companying illustration of the largest
pigeon ranch in the world, says a cor
respondent of the Chicago Times-Her-lid.
It is located at Los Angeles, Cal.,
and from a small beginning ha devel
oped into a pretentious institution,
from which squabs and grown birds
ire. furnished for cafe and family ta
bles all over California.
The ranch contains about eight acres
Rnd is conducted by J. Y. Johnson,
Who lives among his winged pets,
.fter running a gantlet of fierce bull-
VIEW OF THE JOHNSON RANCH.
dogs the visitor finds himself inside a
bewildering mass of life and color la
kaleidoscopic change. Add to this a
constant roar of cooing and of myriad
flapping of wings and it becomes in
describably confusing. There are pi
geons everywhere. The shed roofs are
crowded with them; the ground is cov
ered with them. They rise In swarms
and darken the sun like a cloud.
' There Is no attempt to breed pure
strains there, though the owner mar
kets the dark squabs and saves the
light ones, the object being to eventual
ly make the whole flock light colored.
The white birds make a better appear
ance when dressed and find more ready
sale. The flock is increased by hun
dreds every day In the year. At the
age of 20 days the squab is fully grown
and feathered, and if it escapes the
market It is soon on the wing. Each
afternoon Johnson and his son go
through the buildings and take from
the nests enough of the fat squabs to
fill orders for the next day. Early la
the morning they are killed by disjoint
ing their necks, dressed and delivered.
' The pigeons are well housed in three
large bull&ngs. In each of the sheds,
running lengthwise and extending from
ground to roof, are tiers of shelves,
with narrow passageways between. On
these shelves, loosely placed, are little
square boxes turned upside down, with
small apertures for doors. These are
the nesting places, and the largest of
the buildings has 2,000 Inside and 1,000
outside. The others have nearly as
many. But the pigeons form nests and
lay eggs everywhere, In the passage
ways, on the floor and even on the
roofs or In any stray nook where a few
Straws can be gathered together.
In one of the long sheds 1,000 oil cans
are utilized as boxes, the sides and
ends being made entirely of them, laid
like bricks In a wall, each with the
open end inward. Through the center
of the shed runs a double tier of the
'same material, facing opposite ways
and extending to the roof. In these oil
cans a colony of 3,000 pigeons Is com
fortably stowed away.
A remarkable fact In connection with
this place is that the pigeons rarely
leave the ranch, and It Is seldom that
one of them gets beyond the high wire
fence which surrounds three sides of
the place. They are fed assorted grain
and screenings, and the cost of feeding
the 15,000 is about $7 a day.
Eggs In Winter. .
The whole problem of winter feeding
for eggs can be expressed In one short
sentence turn winter Into summer.
This Is easy to say, but very hard to
accomplish, and the best we can do Is
to supply some of the conditions which
exist In summer.
The first essential is warmth, but it
must not be supplied by artificial beat,
as this makes the fowls tender and sus
ceptible to colds, but by warm bouses,
to keep out wind and frost and con
serve the natural heat of the birds.
Dryness is next to be considered, and
this Is best brought about by keeping
the house clean and the floor well lit
tered with straw and some absorbent
material like chaff. Also ventilate a
little by the windows every mild day
by opening them a little, according to
the weather. This will carry out mols-.
ture, purify the air and keep the fowls
accustomed to the outdoor tempera
ture, so they will not be affected so
much by extremely cold spells. II. J.
Blanchard.
Draft and Roup.
Allowing birds their liberty will
make them healthier, more vigorous
and will be beneficial In every way.
They should not be confined at any
time In the year when the weatherwlll
permit of their living outside. Many
of us have no doubt put off making
necessary repairs to buildings. One
Kr two cracks In the side of a house or
a broken window may give the cold
winds a chauce to start a cold which
will develop into roup and exterminate
the flock. If any of the birds are af
fectcd In this manner, they should be
separated from the well oues and treat
ed for the trouble. Thomas F. Rlgg
In American Poultry Journal
Cleanliness In- Poultry Houses.
People who clean their poultry houses
but once a year lu "corn planting time"
are those whom you hear telling "there
Is no mouey in poultry keeping," says
Henry Traflord of Chenango Forks, N.
! V. Poultry will stand confinement and
do well provided they receive proper
care. Note the cooditious which sur
round fowls with free range. They
bare an abundance of green food, mora
j or less grain, many Insects, plenty of
exercise and fresh air. These essen
tials must be supplied them when confined.
