The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-11

golden WyandotteS, red caps and silver
Seabright bantams which have heretofore
taken all kinds of prizes in other poultry
shows.
There will be buff Leghorns, buff Brah-
mas and buff Cochins, as that seems to be
the one particular color for which poultry
men are struggling. Tacoma, Wash, will
send some very valuable light Brahmas,
and there will be 12S buff Leghorns of the
finest ancestry on hand to add to the
growing and give the association re-
minder that there are some heavy-Iunged
visitors on exhibition.
The largest number Of buff Leghorns ex-
hibited by one man will be 40 and they
are the property of E. w. Sanderson OF
San Jose. Il. Z. Armstrong OF San Jose
follows him with SO, and Santa Clara will
have over $4,000 worth OF birds for the
Judges to select from. There will be 800 in
this one collection, and it will contain
some of the crack fowls of this coast.
The majority of exhibits will be breeding
birds, to show the progress OF the poultry
business in California over last year, there
having been only about 1000 at the last ex-
hibitioD. The food exhibit, such as broil-
ers, roasters and spring friers, will not be
given the attention that breeders will re-
ceive, as it is the desire of the association
u peIIeCL IQ6 Size VI Tie IOWlS USlOIe uldI-
ket patronage is looked to.
Heretofore" said Charles K. Harker,
editor of the Fanciers' Monthly, too much
attention has been given to eggs, and the
result has been that the fowls are good
layers and beyond that are not good for
eating purposes. Of course eggs must be
considered, but last year this State sent
something like 100000 East for poultry
and eggs, with the bulk of the money
going for food birds. 1t is the desire of the
poultrymen TO get all there is possible out
OF the poultry business and make it one OF
the industries OF California. This years
show is one of the best ever held in the
United States, not excepting the exhibition
at Madison-square Garden.
There will be entered here some sam
pies of the White Wonders of Vermont.
They are good breeders and make the
very best kind of food birds. They are en-
tirely new to this part of the country and
will probably attract considerable att en-
ton. The popular color with poultry
men this year is buff, and there will GER
tainly be some magnificent shades on
hand.
THE game cocks, including klckers and,
lighters, will number nearly 200 some with
good records and terrible ancestors.
Among the most rare features will be the
Australian Wanga pigeons imported by
&. w. Hansen. They are much larger
than our American birds and are magnifi-
cent breeders. The birds are of light
blush color and do considerable strutting.
The bronze turkeys, some of them
weighing as high as fifty pounds, will be
one Of the features of the exhibition.
George H. Croley of this City, French
Bros of San Jose and William Thomas of
Lockford all have bronze birds entered,
ana they are of the very best variety"
