AS there has been quite an inquiry
during the last year or two in regard
to standard bred fowls, how are they
scored, what are the points and how
are they arrived at, etc? | thought
it would be well to describe the way
in which fowls are scored by rracti-
cal judges.
The points in a fowl are distributed
over the body in an arbitrary way Sc
lected by the American Poultry Assoc
citation. They denote the value Of
certain sections of the body. The
ideal fowl shows 100 points and IS
perfect, but the standard is set 50
high that no fowl ever scored 100
points. In some breeds large comb
is desired and this must be of a GER
tain shape. 1t is hard to get this and
the comb is given ten points. In
other breeds the comb is hardly con-
sidered in Judging the fowl and the
comb is given three points. Comb,
earlobes and wattles, beak, neck,
hackle, breast and body, back, wings,
saddle and sickle feathers, fluff, legs
and toes are the various sections the
different breeds are divided into by
the Standard, not necessarily all of
them in any one breed. Each section
is given a value and as much as it
lacks in being perfect is deducted in
scoring it. If the judge thinks sec
ton should be cut one-half, one two
or any other number of points the
clerk sets down the outs and when
the fowl has gone over in this way
the .'outsn are added together and
their amount subtracted from 100, the
the remainder being the score of the
fowl. You must have Standard to
begin with and must learn what it
means. This cannot be done in any
other way than by watching a Judge
while he scores lot of fowls. The
beginner must learn by actual expert
ence. He cannot learn to score fowls
and pick winners by reading. / got
most OF my knowledge on The subject
by attending the poultry shows and
being pretty badly beaten few times
This is learning in the school of ex-
perience, which it is said only fools
learn in, but with poultry breeder
the proverb does not apply. The
wisest man cannot learn to score fowls
until he has had expe rience. 1t is
worth while to acquire the experience.
Try it.

Those Calamity" Letters.

1t seems TOO bad that the citizens OF
Lancaster are not competent to attend
properly to so commonplace matter
as the election OF a mayor and other
city officers without making large
draughts upon the time and energy of
our able legislator, Thos. Mcdonald,
who is presumed at this time TO have
his mind burdened by the weight OF
state affairs. But so it is, and the
folly OF the one hundred forty-eight
voters who named candidate for
mayor at the regular city caucus made
it necessary for the legislator aforesaid
10 give his attention to local affairs in
order to prevent, as he says, the
public calamity" OF mayor being
chosen who was not endorsed by the
distinguished assemblvman. So he
sent letters from Madison. Here is a
sample of flood OF them that came
through mails last week;
