The Cost of Exhibiting.

Very likely some readers of the poul-
try journals may wonder why adver
Users do not exhibit at the shows
more frequently, says a new exhibitor
in Commercial Poultry. Some readers
may not know that, besides the trou-
BILE in preparing the birds, it is also
quite expensive to show. l submit the
following figures to show the cost:
Show No. 1-EXpense, $6.2O; cash
prize, so cents; birds away from home
nine days; one bird died from the long
confinement, value So; total expense,
$1120; credit, 80 cents. Show No. 2
Expense, 81; cash prizes, SLIGO. Show
No. 3-Expense, $3.50; cash prizes, 81.
Expenses of three shows, $3.50, be-
sides the trouble, which is no small
item, as each bird must be carefully
examined, legs and face washed, leg
banded and placed in an exhibition
coop two or three times to get them
used to confinement and being han
died.
At some exhibitions held early in the
season old fowls are not done Noting,
young birds are not up in weight, and
fowls melting are not at their best
either in plumage or weight. Young
birds lack weight, and so many good
birds score low that the score does not
indicate their actual merit. A would
be buyer looks at the low score pub
lished in the journals and thinks such
stock isn't worth much.

Clothing n Hen.

An old hen belonging to Mrs. M. A.
Stormont began laying late in the fall
and was so persistent that she laid
twenty-six eggs before she concluded
to stop. During all this time she had
neglected her melting, and when she
finally got ready to shed her feathers
It was in the middle of winter, but the
old ones had lost their life and were
dry and harsh, consequently there was
no other way but to make the change.
In a short time she was almost bare
and suffering from the cold. The Miss
es Stormont seeing her predicament
and approaching the value of her serv-
ice rendered, determined to come to her
rescue. They accordingly took the old
hen into the house, took her measure
ments, made her a suit of fannels to fit
and then released her. Her ladyship
took the matter philosophically and
hustled off to her companions, appar-
emily very comfortable in her new suit.

Any farmer who will can improve
his chickens to almost any attainable
degree of productiveness, if productive
ness is what he wants, by using always
a pure bred cock of the same breed
and by careful culling of the hens. AS
the farmer has no particular use for
standard markings, these may be dis
regarded except to secure uniformity
in cOlOring and size to aid in selling
live fowls. The farmer wants eggs
and flesh, consequently he should re-
tain as breeders the best layers and the
full breasted, broad backed ones. There
can be no question as to the possibility
of greatly increasing the laying capac-
ity of fowls by selecting for that pur
pose. By this method a yard of COM
mon hens can be reduced to a sufficient
degree of uniformity for all practical
purposes and a degree of productive
ness that cannot be obtained by breed
ing and selecting for standard mark
ing only. 1t is better, however, to be-
gin with all pure bred, both male and
female. for then the desired uniformity
is already attained, but if eggs and ia
BILE fowls are the things desired then
Gull and mate and breed for them and
let the standard points alone. Stand
ard points are for breeders use and are
all right for them, but standard points
don't bring the money on the retail
market. Breed for what is wanted.
That is the only sensible plan.

RAISING TURKEYS.
There Is Money In 1t if One Has
Room and Goes About 1t Right.

There Is Money In 1t if One Has
Room and Goes About 1t Right.
No branch OF the poultry business
pays better than the raising of tur-
keys. This is true whether they are
raised for market purposes or for the
fancy. AS fowls for the farm they
are a benefit as we'll as a profit. Tur-
keys must and will forage, and they
cannot be raised proftably without
good range. The turkey is undoubted-
ly the farmers best friend.
They have been created with row
ing instinct, which causes them to con-
stantly travel from one field to an
other. In doing this they rid the place
of worms, grasshoppers and other IN
sects that are detrimental to crops and
a nuisance to the farmer. They also
consume many weed seeds. a held OF
clover is their special delight, as it is
always the home of grasshoppers ana
other insect life. Why the creator
caused clover to grow and then created
grasshoppers to eat it up is beyond my
ken unless he created the turkey to eat
the grasshopper. Be that as it may,
we have the latter, and it has come to
stay, and the only way I see out OF the
difficulty is to raise the turkey and de-
rive the double profit which we get
from saving the clover and filling our
purse from the sale of stock.
Without a good range l do not be-
lieve that the turkeys can be made as
profitable as they can with IT. Iney
are very heavy eaters, and one is al
most sure to overfeed them. This
makes them sicllly and often results IN
the loss of many birds, but If given
good range on the farm they will raise
themselves after they are six or eight
weeks old. In order to prevent them
from annoying the neighbOrs | bring
them home each night until the habit
becomes fixed. They then come home
of their own accord.
am glad to know that great many
breeders of thoroughbred stock are be-
ginning to appreciate the value and I'M
portance of the turkey. Many focks
are raised practically without cost. In
cases where cattle and hogs are fed
after the first hard freeze the turkeys
will stay around the building and pick
up the corn which the cattle and hogs
shell off, which would otherwise go to
waste This waste product is there
fore turned into money.
There is no kind of meat that can be
so easily and cheaply raised on the
farm as the turkey. Let the farmers
commence with good thoroughbred
birds bred in line, the same as they do
with thoroughbred stock, and they
will reap a double profit each year.

try Journal.

Contrary to the General Belief, 1t
Seems to Have Some Sense.

Contrary to the General Belief, 1t
Seems to Have Some Sense.
In 1896 l made a great many expert
ments with young chicks, testing their
ability to learn a variety of perform
ances, such as getting out of box by
pecking at certain spot on door or
by jumping upon little platform or
by pulling down string with their
necks, escaping from a pen by going
up a ladder or by following an intr1-
cate path through a maze, etc, writes
Professor Edward L. Thorndike of Co
lumbia university in The international
Monthly for February. They learn
readily to abandon those acts which
bring discomfort and to emphasize
those which are successful in securing
them food, shelter, warmth and the
companionship of their fellows.
Their learning, like that of the fishes,
is essentially a process of selection.
For instance, a chick is confined in a
cage from which it can escape only by
pecking at a certain spot and so open
ing the door. 1t sees the other chicks
and food outside and reacts to the sit
uation CONFINEMENT according to its
Unborn organization by running about,
peeping, jumping at the walls, trying
to squeeze through any small openings
and pecking at the barriers combining
it. The chick feels a score or more of
impulses to a score or more acts. II it's
reactions include one particular act
namely. q peck at a certain spot-it Of
course escapes.
This one act is followed by freedom,
food and general comfort. The other
acts resulted only in a continuance of
the unpleasant solitary confinement.
If after the chick has enjoyed freedom
awhile we put it into the cage again,
we have a repetition of the first event,
except that the chick is likely to run
and peep and jump and squeeze less
and to peck at the door sooner. If we
continue this process, so that the chick
is again and again confronted by the
situation - confinement in box of
such and such appearance" it con-
stantly decreases the useless acts and
performs the suitable one sooner and
sooner until finally it pecks at the spot
Immediately whenever put into that
, box. 1t has learned, we say, to get out
! of the box by pecking at certain spot.

Mating.

The number Of hens which chould be
mated to one male varies with the diff
ferent breeds. In Barred Plymouth
Rocks fifteen females may be mated
to one male and 95 per cent of fertile
eggs be obtained. Twenty-four Brown
Leghorns may be mated to one male
and equally good results obtained. All
hens should be perfectly healthy and
vigorous and should be mated to males
equally vigorous and healthy, for in the
breeding pens lie the germs Of disease
liable to sap the life of the young chick,
or strong, vigorous constitution that
will give him life and new strength
with every day he grows older.

When birds begin to NOPE around,
not caring to eat, and their odors are
found to be offensive, there is trouble
that must be attended to at once or
more complicated diseases will set in
and many birds may die. The disease
is Indigestion, caused by feeding too
much rich food. AS soon as discovered
the birds should be put on a plain diet
which should be reduced in quantity
as well as quality. With their diet 1t
will be wise to mix little powdered
charcoal or give the birds rhubard pills,
q grain to each chick.

Line breeding Turkeys.

/ believe in line breeding for turkeys.
With turkeys, the same as any stock or
poultry, line breeding is not necessarily
inbreeding. If you wish to establish a
strain with certain markings you will
never do it if you go out of that strain
and make direct crosses on other
strains. If you breed directly in line,
getting new blood from another branch
of the same family, you can by care
full mating gain one-half to one point on
their score. So you are each year get
