The Derita road is perhaps the
most popular drive for pleasure
seekers of all the fine roads we have
in Mecklenburg County. 1t is nearly
straight for six miles; is kept in fine
shape; passes by a number of at
tractive farm settlements. In the
words of an old gentleman whom L
met on this road: "It is heartsome
sight section from Charlotte
to Derita.'
This road might be called Dairy
Lane, there are so many milk pro-
ducers up that way.
The first dairy is that of Mr.. +. u.
Johnston. In beautiful grove he
has a modern city house, too fine and
convenient for bachelor to occupy
alone. Near by is his attractive lit
tie dairy house of Swiss architec-
ture. Mr.. Johnston owns a large
tract of land of a nature that will
hold any improved cultivation put
on it.
Next is Mr.. J. A. Foster, who
manages the milk farm Oh Mr. l. =
Davis. This is a thrifty little farm
and Mr.. Foster raises fine crops.
Then Joe. III. Robinson and Chas.
w. Robinson, brothers, living In
sight of each other, both COW men,
who keep good COWS; live in good
houses built on land where they were
raised. I doubt if there be two bet'
ter farmers in the State than these
Young men. Their work stimulates
me every time I pass there.

American Poultry Association, and
the STANDARD of Perfection" which
+ controls, and by which all birds
aro iudged at State and county fairs
and regular poultry shows. There are
two ways of Judging chicken, by
score card and by comparison, the
latter is principally used at early
shows and fall fairs, when birds are
not in full feather. and is not near
so satisfactory as the score card, for
nnder the comparison system If you
do not accompany your birds to the
fairs. if you are fortunate enough
TO win ribbon or two, you have no
means of knowing which bird or
birds won. as there is no record kept
of the particular bird winning, and
YOU are only notified of your success
without telling you which bird was
the successful competitor, and a
breeder. especially if he is just start
ing out would like to know his best
bird, so that he may be able to COM
mare it with others of his flock, and
see how many are like it. The score
card system is much more exacting,
and where a class is we'll fitted as the
Rocks, Wyandotts, Leghorns and
Ninorcas are at most shows to win
in these classes is an honor. especial
" is this true when the judge is an
experienced man and knows his busl-
ness. The ideal bird should score 1Oo
points. but the ideal has never been
attained, 90 points is as near top
notch as competent judges go, and a
"a or 95 point bird is "thing OF
beauty" in the show room (even II 1T
is not much of a breeder or egg
laver). The score is divided into sec
tions, and run as follows: weight,
symmetry, condition, head shape and
color. comb. shape and color wattles
and lobes shape and color, neck shape
and color. back shape and color.
breast shape and color, body and
fluff shape and color, wings shape and
color, tail shape and color, legs
and feet shape and color, so you can
see that it would be almost impossl.

these points, and it takes long anc
hard study for one to be able to DICE
