THE STAYER is THE WINNER|

If You Are Il Beginner In Poultry,
Don't Be Too Easily Discouraged.
People who are easily discouraged
are seldom successful, no matter what
they undertake Sometimes of course
we meet with exceptions, or perhaps
seeming exceptions, where appear
ances seem to indicate that the right
man did the right thing at the right
time and success followed with ap-
parently little effort. But mighty big
majority Of successful people gained
their point of vantage by hard knocks
and continued effort.
Success in breeding standard bred
poultry comes in the same way. This
is evidenced by the wrecks strewn
along the way and by an analysis of
the records and efforts of those who
are pronounced successes. The breed
CrS who are prominent in the poultry
world today did not gain their promi-
nence in single season. Some Of
them started with q very ordinary
grade Of stock and spent several sea-
sons in getting their focks to a high
standard Of excellence and then spent
more time in getting a show record
and in getting their names and their
stock before the public through adver-
tising. Others, who have used rare
judgment and started with the best,
who have intelligently studied the
principles Of breeding and given much
thought to the work, have reached
position near the top in a comparative
ly short time. They have produced
good birds, have won with them at the
shows and through liberal but judi
clous advertising have gained success
both in reputation and financially. We
want to impress upon amateur breed
ers the fact that they should not ex-
pect to accomplish these things the
first season, and indeed for several
seasons, unless due attention is given
to the elements which influence these
results. No doubt there are thousands
of our subscribers who are now begin
ming to see the results of their first
seasons work, and we urge them to
not get discouraged If the roundup Of
the young stock does not show large
number of extra choice birds. 1t is O
sure thing that you will not have as
many as you expect.
The thing to do is to get together the
best you have and lay solid founda-
tion for the future. Try to learn Just
how you produced your best birds and
store this knowledge away in your
mind now while it is fresh for use next
spring, when it again comes time to
mate the breeding birds. Don't let dis.
appointment get the best of your en-
thusiasm. Remember that patience
and perseverance are required to ac-
complish all things worth striving for
and that it is the 'stayer" who wins

BIRDS FOR SHOW
They Must Be Thoroughly Tanned
aud Kent ms Glenn ns pOa.ihIc

| They Must Be Thoroughly Tanned
md Kept as Clean as Possible.
Before making an exhibit at any fair
or show the main point to consider Is
the proper conditioning and prepara-
| tton Of the stock. Every one knows
that fowls as usually found on the
range are far from being In presenta-
BILE shape for appearance In the show
arena. Consequently they must be
placed IN suitable coops and runs for
| conditioning. This means that they
must be carefully handled, cleaned and
put in proper weight. If bird is wild,
1t must be tanned and made to pose
and handle well in the hands of stran-
gers, as the judge must handle them,
and Judge has no patience with a
wild or frightened bird. A good bird
untamed and out of condition is often
left out of consideration by the judge
when otherwise 1t might have won an
honorable place. On the other hand,
an inferior speciPen well shown is Of
ten given first prize by reason of its
condition and proper preparation for
the judges inspection.
Another matter of great Importance
Is cleanliness. A bird to show to good
advantage must be clean No matter
how good specimen may be, If shown
with soiled and broken plumage it can
never be depended upon to command
the admiration Of the Judge
Most fowls will clean and condition
themselves If placed in clean and suit
able quarters. Put them in rooms or
pens well supplied with clean straw
or chaff and keep their quarters clean,
and they will usually take care Of
themselves. A white bird should
in most cases be washed before going
into the showroom. To do this proper
ly requires that the one doing the work
must be familiar with the operation.
Take two common washtubs and fill
each about half full of water. The first
or scrubbing bath should be about as
warm as required for washing clothes;
the other should be milk warm and
contain perfectly clean water made
blue with ordinary bluing about the
same as rinse water for white clothes
When all is ready, use pure CASTLE
soap and scrub every fowl thoroughly,
using care not to rub against the feath-
ers 80 as to break them. After the
work Of scrubbing is thoroughly ac-
Complished put the fowl into the rims
ing water, and be very particular to
rinse all the soap from the feathers.
The next and most difficult part Of
the work is drying. This may best be
accomplished by carefully rubbing
with a turkish towel before q fire.
When the bird is as dry Us it is posi-
bic to make 1t in this way, place 1t in
clean coop which has been previous
ly prepared with about six inches Of
clean straw, and the bird will soon
appear as clean and bright as q new
silver dollar The next important thing
is to keep 1t in this condition until 1t
reaches the showroom, which may be
accomplished by keeping the birds
apartments scrupulously clean at all
times during it's confinement pending
its trip to the show.
