in fact, ninety per cent. of them have
never heard of them. For the above
two reasons principally they have
never been willing to come distance
of many hundred miles to attend our
shows.
Let us presume, then, that compe-
tent eastern judges with national repu-
tations will be engaged to judge the
poultry show at the Alaska Yukon ex.
position. These judges have passed
on the birds at the large eastern shows
and have become acquainted with the
large eastern breeders. They are I'M,
partial judges and judge according to
standard.
The large eastern BREEDERS will at
tend the exposition with a good
string of birds. Possibly many of them
will become imbued with the advant-
ages of the northwest as a poultry
raising Eden and decide to stay; pos
sibly they will return east But in
either case they will have attended a
western show for the first time and
will have become acquainted not alone
with western stock but with western
breeders. The advantages are mani
fest.
1t is to be presumed that some of
our western breeders will not agree
with the writer, that eastern judges
assure larger and finer exhibit of
eastern stock, but let us remind them:
The last poultry show at Frisco was
the largest in the history of that as
sociation-and eastern judges scored
the birds Also at the live stock show
of the Lewis and Clark exposition last
fall eastern judges were engaged
and the live stock exhibit was the larg-
est ever held in the history of the west
and eastern breeders, as we'll as those
from the south, were represented in
goodly numbers. At me latter we
demonstrated our ability to raise not
only as good but a little better stock
than our brothers of the east, coast
breeders keeping big percentage of
the awards at home. Let us demon
strate the same thing with our poultry
Let eastern judges preside and thus
assure large exhibit of eastern birds
Yet let these same judges be most
carefully picked. Then let us prove
our assertions that we have the best
stock. In either case, we'll prove our
selves good winners or losers, but sure
ly true sportsmen!

per day, and a feed of whole wheat
and one or more of cracked corn or

than chick feed alone 1t is not de-
sirable to promote mushroom-like
growth, unless we are growing broil-

conditions attain best results.

it happens to be cheap. Wheat, oats
and corn are three standbys, but many
other foods may be combined with
these and good results be obtained at
a reduced expense.
After the first ten days of the cricks
life milk is one of the best foods.
Before they reach this age it is likely
to cause digestive disorders, but may
then be fed every day. The corn cake
is much improved if mixed with sour

Care of the Young Chicks.
Mrs. Ethel NelsOn.)

If the raising of a fine flock of
fowls be our aim, it is of the greatest
Importance that the chicks be kept in
thrifty condition. A stunted chick
never makes a prize winner Vermin
is the cause Of many unthrifty focks
and the feeding of sloppy food ranks
next as fell destroyer. Where chicks
are raised in brooder vermin do not
have an opportunity to get in their
work, but incorrect feeding often
ruins many hatch.
Warmth and food are the main fac
tors to be reckoned with in raising
brooder chicks. A temperature that
will neither overhead nor chill must
be maintained Should the tempera-
ture fall too low serious digestive
disorders often result, as is caused by
feeding sloppy food, and many of those
not smothered at this time are weak
ened beyond all hope of recovery.
We have found nothing more salts
factory for the first few weeks than a
good brand of chick food. When this
is fed exclusively for the first four or
five days we have no cases of bowel
trouble unless from being chilled. The
chicks learn to eat it readily and
when scattered in fine chaff it induces
abundant exercise.
After the first four or five days
feed of hard-boiled eggs, cracker or
bread crumbs, and rolled oats, all

may be fed, and is much relished by
the chicks. Chicks fed in this way
grow rapidly and are hardy and
strong.
We frequently hear of flock of
chicks that is not doing we'll for some
reason unknown to the owner. Often
it is said that they grew nicely for
short time and then came to stand
still. Perhaps in majority of cases
this condition can be traced to the
ravages of vermin, which have not
been kept down. If not brought about
by this pest, then in nearly every
case it is caused by improper food.
We have experimental little with
a good commercial chick food and
find that after the chicks are three
weeks old they grow faster IL fed
something in addition to the chick
food. The mixture of hard-boiled eggs,
crumbs and oatmeal before referred
to may constitute one or more feeds

Poultry at seattIe's Coming Exposition
H. L. BLANCHARD

Poultry at seattIe's Coming Exposition
Seattle is to have an Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition in 1909 and, If we
NAV Judge from the manner in which
those in charge are handling the af-
fair. this exposition will outrival any
other exposition of like character
ever held in the united States. Not
alone was the Lewis and Clark expo
sition of 1905 a success from the quail
ity of exhibits but it was the only fair
which ever closed its doors a financial
success The Alaska Yunon-Pa eX
position will be the second.
In connection with the Seattle expo
sition preparations are rapidly taking
form to hold one of the largest live
stock and poultry exhibits ever shown,
not alone on the Pacific coast but, let
us hope, the largest ever shown in the
country And in this respect it is 10
be hoped that the committee in charge
will profit by the experience of SINH
lar committee at the Lewis and Clark
fair In Portland last year, owing to
an inadequate realization of the inter
est which would be shown at the live
stock exhibits, these two exhibits
were placed in the extreme end OF the
grounds. 1t was necessary for visitors
to walk distance of nearly two miles
from the gate to see the exhibits and
vet. during the several weeks in which
these shows were held, the attendance
was the largest and the crowds the
most enthusiastic on the records OF
that fairs attendance.
Again, and here is point of great
Importance: While we are unaware OF
the attitude of the gentlemen in charge
as to the appointment OF competent
Judges to score our poultry and live
stock department, it is to be hoped
that the birds will be judged by east
ern judges-and by the most compe-
tent eastern judges available. By thus
the writer does not wish to infer that
we have no competent judges in the
west, but it is his humble opinion that
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition is
to be something of national charac-
ter at least, and that if the committee
in charge hopes to make the poultry
exhibit one representing the best from
all over the states, it can be best as
sured by engaging judges with nation
al regulations. Wherever eastern
judges have judged at coast shows
they have been unanimous in their
praise of coast stock and frankly own
ed that it came as a surprise for them
to learn that we had birds of such quail
ity here.
And this same opinion prevails
among eastern breeders. They have
an idea that the northwest does not
produce the birds that can win over
their picked stock. They know notn-
ing for or against our western Judges

suburb of Santa Barbara. It was a dis
tinctly Californian affair, the food be-
ing cooked in huge pits in a eucalyptus
grove near the house. A. cold luncheon
was served as well for those who did
not care for the barbecued meats, but
most of the guests were delighted with
the oddly cooked and seasoned viands.
Mr.. Richardson brought Spanish mu-
sicians and dancers from Mexico for
the occasion, and afterward there was
an exhibition of the old-time horse
breakers" or bronco busters" engaged
in subduing number of untamed and
fiery steeds. The barbecue was in honor
of Admiral and Mrs. Swinburne, and
all the naval officers of the fleet and
their wives were present as well as a
large number of Santa Barbarenos. In
the evening of the same day Mr.. and
Mrs. Richardson gave a dinner at the
Hotel Potter in honor of Captain and
Mrs. Winslow. and for Admiral and Mrs.
Swinburne ]. W. Gillespie gave a din
ner to eighteen guests at his ITALIAN
villa at Montecito. Captain Badger
