EXHIBITIONS
Careful Discrimination Is Re
quired in Selecting Birds With
View to Uniformity.
DARK HUES MAKE WORK EASY
Most Chickens Accept Bath Re
quirements Without Voicing
Any Special protest:
,Preparins; fowls for exhibitions is
more of a fine art than is popularly
supposed. It Involves careful selec
Hon in accordance with standard re
aulrements. skilled matching with
the view to uniformity, patient train
Ins;, so that the birds are made docile
and anxious to display their points
of . superiority, plus a thorough
cleansing and groom int. The entire
Job is termed conditioning.
Naturally, dark colored fowls are the
' easiest to condition. Except for train-
lng and grooming, such as washing
their shanks and brightening their
combs, little is necessary. j With white
birds, or those having light-colored
plumage, such as the buff varieties, it
is another story.
All show candidates that are easily
oiled must be washed given a bath
If they are badly soiled two baths arei
sometimes necessary once when they
are just chosen as contestantsffcnd the
second time Just before they are sent
away to the. showroom. s"
WASHIXQ FOWL 18 EAST
To the unaccustomed mind the idea
of washing chickens may - seem diffi
cult. Such is not the case, however,
and after a llttlo practice the task is
easy to perform. Moreover, the btras
take to a bath in the most surprisingly
orderly fashion, with few exceptions.
In general the method of procedure
"'is much the same as shampooing one's
hair.. Plenty of soft water, moderately
warm, good soap, several tubs, some
towels or absorbent cloths, a sponge
or dipper for rinsing, patience and
common sense are the requirements.
The work should be done in a warm
room, of course, because to expose the
- Thirds unnecessarily is likely to result
In colds. They should dry in a tem
perature of about 80 degrees. It re
quires several hours for this drying,
therefore it is a good plan to do the
washing In the morning so that the
birds will have the rest of the day in
which to become dry.
; DBT BIRDS IlfDOOSS
Make all preparations in advance and
have the birds conveniently at hand.
No time should be lost between the
various operation's, and the 'birds should
not be taken outdoors until they ar
dry. '! To do so may cause them to be
chilled.. The" operator should work fast
and at the same time thoroughly. Half
way measures will fall to secure re
sults. For Instance, if -the plumage is
not caref ally rinsed .after the washing,
the washing will have been in vain, be
cause the feathers will dry streaked and
unsightly from the dirty lather which
has dried upon them.
Fill two tubs with warm water, or
dinary laundry tubs are best Use the
first one for soaping and washing; the
"second one for rinsing. If the birds
are white and it Is desired to rinse
them also In a bluing water, use a third
tub filled with cold water. No soda
should be used as it stains the feath
ers yellow. The soap should be mild
and free from alkali.
NO LATHEE ON PLUMAGE
Never attempt to use the first rinsing
water as the bluing bath. The plum
age must be entirely free of lather or it
will not take the bluing uniformly.
Moreover, the third tub should be used

bath, remove it, allow the bird to drain
for, a moment or two, and then wrap
the fowl In an absorbent towel or cloth
until most of the moisture is taken up.
When this is done replace the specimen
in its coop, which should be previously
replenished with clean shavings, straw
or other litter material.
AVOID IHTEIT8E HEAT
If convenient arrange the coops
round a stove while th'e birds are dry
ing. Not too close to a hot fire, how
ever, for too much heat win cause the
feathers to curl, which is not desired.
On the contrary, it is to oe avoided. An
other good plan is to cover the sides
and back of each coop with muslin or
burlap so as to prevent drafts, leaving
only the front open for ventilation.
Four or five drops of tincture of
aconite to each bird is recommended as
a preventive against colds, although the
chief consideration is not to expose the
birds until they are thoroughly ary.
The finishing touches are performed
Just before the exhibit is shipped.
Shanks and toes should be scrubbed
with a stiff brush until every particle
of dirt or discoloration is removed. A
discarded tooth brush is useful for this
work. It may be necessfcry to use a
wooden, pointed stick, such as a sharp
ened matchstlck, to extricate some of
the bits of grime Irom between tne
scales. Do so without starting blood.
following articles: Boiled potatoes,
cornmeal. boiled rice, buckwheat meal,
barley meal, middlings, ground oats,
wheat, skimmed milk and a little beef
tallow. At the same time give them
sweetened water to drink, and a good
tonic or regulator to offset any ill ef
fects from the forcing.
If the birds have lost weight in ship
ment to the showroom, as they are
likely to do, feed them liberally on the
regular cooked and seasoned bologna
sausage. .
The amateur may consider these fin
ishing touches as being time and effort
wasted. Not so. The other fellow,
the regular exhibitors, find them worth
while, and remember you are compet-
Llng against these other fellows. The
Idea Is to go them one Deuer to win.
By all means use good shipping
crates. Do not try to save space or s
few cents oil expressage by crowding
Rneclmens into small crates. There is
no economy in it. Use regulation ex
hibition crates, which can be purchased
from the poultry supply house; or, if
made at home, build them high enough
for the birds to stand uprignt, ana
wide enouerh for the birds to turn
n round without ' damaging their tails.'
Usually exhibition shipping crates have
solid sides, except for some ventilating
holes, depending upon the open top to
provide sufficient air. If the Journey
Is a long one a suitable drinking cup
should be attached to the crate, also a
package of feed, with instructions to
the carrier or expressman for their use.
Don't overlook these points or your
birds are likely to suffer in transit.
BX A "GOOD L08EB,"
To insure identification every speci
men -should be leg-banded and the num
ber or dtstlneuishinir feature or tne

Grooming, washing and training la
not "faking," a term so frequently
abused and confused. It is painstaking,
a good word to write as a motto over
the conditioning room doorway. So lon&
as the natural qualities of the speci

made to hide defects, conditioning is
to be encouraged as much as possible.
It is the secret of the veteran exhibitor

1 NOTE 3 3-Xr
In the forty-eighth week of the Eighth
Annual International Egg Laying con
teat at the Agricultural experiment sta
tion at Storrs, Connecticut, a pen of
White Leghorns entered by D. Kent of
Tancrod, Wasji., won fourth place with
a yield of 42 eggs.
All the birds in the contest, taken
together, laid 2542 eggs, or a yield or
38.6 per cent. This Is about 70 more than
the five year average for this period.
A pen of Barred Rocks, entered by Jules
F. Francals from Westhampton Beach,
L. I, won first place with a yield of 60
eggs. This pen has been leading all
others in total yield for the year, and

HOW MUCH GXAUr TO FEED
Specialists of the United States de
partment of agricultural advise poultry
keepers to feed about 1 quart of scratch
grain' and an eoual weight or maan
(about 1 quarts) daily to 18 hens of
the general purpose breeds,' such as the
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds or
Wyandotte, or about Is hens of the
smaller or err breeds. This would be
about 7 pounds each of scratch grains
and of mash dally to 100 Leghorns and
about 8 pounds of each to 100 general
Duroose or large fowls. If hens have
free range or large yards containing
green feed a general purpose hen will
eat about 75 pounds of feed in a year,
while a Leehorn will consume about
55 pounds in addition to the green stuff
which she eats. :

these things cannot be depended on to

important that the fowls be kept

Of interest is a new incubator reg
ulator which is no in use on many
poultry farms In this state. Up to about
a year ago, the most satisfactory reg
ulator was a thermostat. In the egg

From the outside temperature a warn

before a change takes place within the

the regulator turns the incubator flame

among the big shows of the United
Statea In a few classes they have
surpassed some of the large shows of
the East, i The Barred -Rocks, for in'

here, would have furnished interasting
competition for those in many of the
noted Eastern shows.
This year's show will bring out Rhode
Island Reds in greater numbers and of
higher quality than ever before, for the
Rhode Island club of America, Western
division, and the Northwest Rhode
Island Red club have made this their
official show. The Western division of
the national organization comprises the
states west of the Rocky mountains, a
territory that is producing some mighty
good specimens of, this popular breed.
In addition to the regular cash pre
