THE PRACTICAL VALUE
OF EXHIBITING FOWLS

SUPERIOR to any that he did produce
Now through books and papers a
poultry keeper who is sufficiently in
terested in a variety of fowls to read
up on it, may learn a great deal
without ever attending show Or MAX
ing an exhibit; but he Is sure to get
a great many ideas that are wrong,
to entirely overlook many points Of
Importance, and fail. much oftener
than. is necessary, in assigning TO
various excellences and faults their
proper value
Without exhibiting,<a poultry keeper
who will attend the shows and ningle
with the fanciers there. will learn a
great deal that self-taught he misses,
and will learn more easily and quickly
many of the things he would learn by
himself. But it is the universal testt-
mony of those who have gone through
these several degrees OF instruction IN
breeding and selecting for points, that
a personal experience in exhibiting,
when the exhibitor attends the show
and gets the benefit of 1T, is the best
way to learn-so much better than any
other way that there is no comparison
In such experiences the results Of
errors in Judgment in breeding, selec-
ton, and preparation of fowls for ex-
hfbitfon become conspicuous, while the
corresponding correct condition or
method may be clearly illustrated by
a more successful competitor. Then
there is no place like the exhibition
room for d breeder to learn to esti-
mate the types and characteristics
which please him In his fowls at home
at their true value. and, without dis
regarding his individual tastes and
preferences. to learn to modify them TO
harmonic better with popular ideas.
If one wishes to sell fine stock, or TO
gain a reputation for producing and
having good stock, he must keep his
ideals somewhere near those of the
rest of mankind interested in that kind
of stock.
I would urge every reader Of this
lesson who keeps thoroughbred fowls
to make il point to exhibit. There
is pleasure and generally credit in
winning. but wherever competition is
strong many must lose, and there is
no disgrace in losing with a good e1-
hibit to a rival with a better one And
.fn the show room merit gets the rec
ognition of visiting fanciers, whether
decorated with prizes or among the
unplaced-John H. Robinson, in First
Lessons in Poultry Keeping.

THE ASIA SAILS
WITHOUT A LEI
The LonesOmest Departure That
Ever Happened in
Honolulu.

The departure of the steamship Asia
at o'clock yesterday afternoon for
San Francisco was d lonesome func-
ton. The good ship arrived off port
early in the forenoon, and was sched-
uled to sail at in the afternoon. But
long before her sailing time she was
moored at practically deserted
wharf. The Insignificant $40 tons of
freight she brought for this port was
lost on the big Hackfeld wharf. II
consisted largely Of bales of sugar
sacks. There was one pile of tea
chests and such like merchandise over
in one corner of the wharf shed, which
looked like the Asia had brought sam
pies instead of a cargo. Near the outer
edge of the wharf was a little dab Of
cargo that would fill about two ex-
press wagons, which represented all
the cargo that the big steamship
brought from Japan. It wasn't a
tenth as big as the pile of empty
demijohn.s which were piled up there
few weeks ago from the Marie
Hackfeld.
There wasn't a lei woman or a lei
in sight. The native women who sell
| leis and curios on the wharves never
unpacked their wares yesterday when
they learned that there We're only
three cabin passengers, all told, on
| board the steamer. These were two
women and a man. The Asia is prob
ably the first passenger steamer that
has left wharf in this harbor for
many, many years which didn't have
a single lei aboard when she cast of
/ her moorings.
A remnant of the band-thirteen OF
them-was on hand TO play the steam.
er off They did it in sort of per-
ifunctory way. They played q number
of selections with the music on theil
music stands, and then as the hour Of
sailing drew near they packed III
their music stands, and got ready t.
play Aloha De, America, and the Sta
SpangIed Banner,-things they cal
Iplay without the music. The last not

The mail wagon came up about thi
moment. There was a hustle to &c
the forty odd bags of mail aboard
The gang plank was dropped. and tn
Asia began moving back into the har
Dor from wharf deserted, save TO
the customs guards whose duty re

Too many poultry keepers who keep
poultry primarily for profit. or for
poultry and eggs for the home table,
the exhibiting of fowls and
the breeding of fowls for fancy
points as of no particular interest to
practical people, and of no actual
value to them.
This is an error. Without conceding
to ''the fancy that prominence in
the development of poultry interests
which fanciers like to claim for it,
everyone well informed in poultry
matters must allow it credit for
great deal of the progress made and
still making, and must also admit that
a thorough knowledge, or even fair
knowledge, of the characteristics of
fowls and the principles of breeding
for uniform results, is rarely acquired
by a poultryman who takes no in
terest in exhibition points and exhibits
of many fowls.
There are, of course, great many
so-cafled fanciers who know little OF
breeding, but the poultryman who
takes no interest in fancy points,
and does not breed at all for appear
the general standards or according to
some fixed ideas of his OWN, and still
produces good fowls, is such a rarity
that I have yet to meet the first one.
Practical poultrymen who disregard
fancy points. as a rule, breed abso-
lutely without intelligent selection. "A
very large proportion of their stock is
decidedly inferior, even when nomi-
naIIy their stock is thoroughbred. and
I have repeatedly seen in the yards OF
such breeders very poor birds. both
male and female, in the breeding pens;
and good ones not used for breeding,
or good males mated with inferior fe-
males, and vice versa, with the result
that only a very few good specimens
were produced, when there was good
stock enough in the yards, If properly
handled. to nave given the poultrynan
two or three times as many good young
birds as he got by his way of mis-
mating, and many of them very much

Machinist Meets Horrible Fate-Falls
While Leading the Animal and

through by a heavy iron stake, his
head almost severed, the mangled body
of Matthias b. Tubber machlnist,
living at no East Vernon avenue, was
picked up dead in his yard last night,
the victim of an unusual accident.
Tubber had returned home from

which had been staked out in a nearby
lot. The COW became loose and hard
chase ensued, the COW making straight
for Ramona avenue, on which street,
while Tubber had hold of the stake,
he tripped on bush in front yard.
The force of the mans fall drove
the iron bar directly through his neck.
The stake entered near the larynX and
came out in the back. The cow con-
tinued to run, dragging the man with
the stake through his neck for several
feet before the stake pulled out and
the victim was left dead and bleeding
in the yard.

The body was taken to an undertaking
establishment at Eighth and Flower
