Poultry shows as Educators.

The poultry show should be regarded
as an educational institution, a place
where different breeds and varieties can
be studied, where the most advanced
results in breeding can be seen, and
where many excellent and valuable les
sons can be learned. This can be accom-
plished in a greater degree than it has
ever been accomplished if the follow
ing plan is carried out; Every breed or
variety entered alive should also have
dressed epresentatives-at least one
cock, hen, cockerel and pullet. With
every breed should be exhibited at least
one dozen eggs laid by hens and an equal
number laid by pullets. If this We're
done, the department of dressed poultry,
as well as the department of live poul
try, would take ON an additional mean

Incubators For early chicks.

However resolutely breeder may re
solve to do without incubators, he can
not very well dispense with them if he
wants the very earliest Matched chicks
Any one who has tried to get hen t.
sit steadily early in spring for sufficient
time to hatch out the chicks will know
that it is impossible. The broodiest hen
after two or three days on the nest will
probably leave the eggs and go to lay
ing again. Yet it is necessary to have
the chicks Matched early, so that they
begin laying next fall before the cold
weather comes, in which case most Of
them, if well fed and given warm,
light room, will continue to lay through
the winter. Boston Cultivator.
