EXHIBITION GAMES.
A BIRD That II Becoming Popular
With the Eanciers

For long time. Exhibition Games
have been favorites In this country.
by careful selection in breeding for
many generations they have been
brought to high state Of perfection.
The beauty Of an Exhibition Game is
much praised in this and other coun-
tries and the pens are always filed at
the shows. They are sought after and
courted by fanciers and as ornamental
fowls they have few equals in the
number of their admirers. The prac-
teal qualities Of the Exhibition Game
have never been demonstrated with
accuracy, their tall figures standing in
the way of popularity and general USE
fulness. 1t should not be understood
that they are Improbable to keep, but
rather not fowl for farm purposes.
They are usually splendid layers and
excellent table fowls, their meat being
fine grained, tender and juicy. They

Toulouse geese are compact in shape,
dark gray plumage, hazel eyes and red
dish flesh color on the bills. The neck
shades off to lighter gray as it extends
down the back, which is light gray
also. The bellies when the birds are
fat are expected to nearly touch the
ground. The tail is gray and white,
with white tips on the ends of the feath-

Starving Millions in Need Of Relief.

To get an idea OF the work already be-
Ing done for the relief of the famine
stricken population, imagine what an UNI
dertaking It would be, with even the best
organized system of relief, for a govern
ment to feed every day the population of
Greater New York And then think what
a small proportion this three and a half
million is to the io.0oo0o0 among whom
famine is raging, and the q 900 who are
short of food. Some time ago 1t was es-
timated that to carry on the present relief
up to the end of March SIS ,00o. 600 would be
required. No statistics have yet been Civ
en- out as to the daily deaths from starva-
ton. and probably It is too early for them
to be collected accurately, but the death
rate must be great. for. in spite of every
effort of the government. many outlying
districts cannot be relieved
The 3,50o.0o0 people now drawing rations
from the government have been obliged
to quit their burnt-up fields and seek the
means OF life at the relief works which
