Poultry Shows.

To-day January 10th), the great con-
sOlidated Southern Poultry and Pet Stock
Show has it's beginning at Charleston
10th to 18th inclusive. Two years ago
carried the only exhibit from Florida. I
hope and trust our State will be better
represented this year. This is the first OF
an annual exhibition to be held in the
South every year-a consolidated show.
The membership vote at the annual meet
ing and decide where the next annual
show is to be held. Ii Florida was repre-
sented, [ am confident we could have one
annual exhibit in our State, and it would
do more to educate the people in poultry
matters than any one thing we could do.
There is great fascination in keeping
fine, pure bred poultry. This is demon
strated by the influence the Madison
Square IN. W, shows have OH the visi-
tors. The sales are very large and at
good prices. 1t is getting to be quite the
thing now to keep dozen or two OF fine
poultry, and in the cellars of many of
those mansions of milIionaires are found
incubators that do service every season,
either for pastime or to amuse the chill
dren, and furnish an interesting sight
when the chickens are Matching.
In letter just received from Mr.. Coop
err, the salesman of The Prairie State In
cubator Company, he says: 81 have just
sold forty-three No. 3 machines on Long
Island, n. Y.-special duck machines.
These we're sold at Speonk, L. l., the
home OF the author OF the new book |
mentioned recently" He writes that be
is operating twenty three machines. This
is evident that the business is not on the
decline in those parts. The forty. three
machines will turn out, in the Matching
season OF four months, nearly 10000
ducklings for market.
Ducks at three months old, we'll
fatted, are always in demand and
command a good price. Hotels find
them cheaper than beef, and the
demand is growing faster than the
supply. Ii we in Florida can get eggs
that will hatch, and can incubate in Oc-
tober and November so as to supply the
tourist hotels, ducklings could be sold by
the ten thousands, at the highest price
Our home markets will buy them more
each year, as the people learn to appre-
ciate them. A ducking we'll fattened is
fit for king, but one poor is apparently
all bones. and that is what disgusts many
a purchaser-buying ducks that are not
ii for market. Not being judges them
selves, they buy something that should
have never been sold in that condition,
then their appetite for roast duck is gone
for long time.
There are two reasons why the average
grower OF market poultry find duck rails
ing more profitable than raising the
barn-yard fowl. First, the eggs are more
fertile. This is quite an item, and the
mortality is much less among ducklings
than chickens. They grow more rapidly,
and when four weeks old will stand any
amount of exposure.

Brown Leghorn cannot be raised with
out more or less grey or white in plum
age. In fact friend of mine declared
that the man who could do so, had his
fortune made. I have seen some grand
specimens of this great egg laying vari-
ETY., (Which l hold is second to no other
breed in the standard to-day, and in
them I have found white or grey,
or symptoms Of grey or white in
plumage, which is due alone to the
mating or breeding OF inferior stock,
perhaps purchased at great expense and
recommended as No. sock, when if
the truth were known, they had been
picked up here and there regardless OF
progeny. l have often travelled ninety
miles to see the stock of some would-be-
great breeder, only to find that [ could
do better, and saved money, had [ gone
to my neighbor across the way. [ have
secured stock direct from their native
home in Italy large birds and quite dark,
under color dark, dark hackle, beautiful
large combs, and long pendant wattles,
steel colored breast and yellow legs and
mated these with the finest hens could
fin young hens) lighter in color, some
of which would score over ninety pounds
and yet to my surprise, | would find
white in the chicks. Those SO marked |
killed off, but by using discretion in the
matter, and careful mating, not single
grey feather can be found in flock as
large as 200 binds. I contend that it re-
quires wedding out and careful mating
and if one should follow this rule, We
would not have to t-avel ninety miles
when we want an extra bird for breed
ing purposes, and would soon have the
stock up to what it should be in weight,
color, etc. I have become so deeply i'm
pressed with the good qualities of this
breed, that intend to experiment with
other importations, anG ON moro ex-
tensive SCALE
The reason we present the above is to
show our inexperienced readers how
difficult it is to secure choice, extra
bird for exhibition purposes. A little
grey or white will throw bird out, yet,
as Mr.. Fox says, It's something unusual
to find bird perfectly free from.the eff
feet if closely examined. It is only by
carefully selecting the best every year
that a perfect bird can be secured, and
sometimes, you may not find five good
ones in a flock of fifty birds. We will
say, here, however, not to sacrifice a
good laying hen for a slight blemish.
Look out for utility all the time. And
don't get angry with the breeder if you
do not get all good birds from the eggs
you buy of him. He can't help it.

AT THE THBATBR.

The Country Circus" the Attraction
the Rest of the Week.
The Country Circus" will make its ap-
pearance in Savannah to-day. The opening
performance of two nights and two mat
inees' engagement at the theater will take
place this afternoon.
The entertainment includes an idyllic
New England love story, flrst-class circus
entertainment and stimulation Of circus
street parade. In spite of the incredibilty
of the statement, the parade with its aui-
mails, its chariots drawn each by from two
to four horses, its gayly csparisoned
elephant the shimmering band wagon
clowns goat cart, Roman chariots and
marching cavalcades OF men and women all
take place on the stage, giving the auditor
chance to witness a circus parade in the
comfort of a theater and without the at
tendant nuisances of the crowd and street
dust.
The "Country Circus is one of the novel;
ties of the stage. 1t has been success
everywhere.
The play opens with the arrival OF the
mail coach at the village of Maspi, and
among the passengers are an old sea captain
and his daughter, who have just returned to
their homes after most extended voyage
There is also an advance agent for the cir
Gus in the real coach that is drawn Oil
the stage by pretty team of good-sized
ponies. Here the play begins in earnest
when the agent and the captains daughter
elope; she TO become bareback rider and
