On the divide between the Nat
ches Valley and the Selah DR.. Cor
nue. has built for himself most en-
viable reputation as breeder on the
English favorite Buff Orpington. The
/ Doctor came to Washington about
! four years ago. having suffered from
overwork in his profession in the
/ famous Lake Geneva strain of Or
! pingtons. This breed is believed to
be the highest class winter layer in
the United States, and while new
in this section, vii no doubt become
more popular each year. Doctor Cor
nue. showed ten birds, winning six
I marks, including two firsts. He is
making poultry his chief study and
keeps about 100 of the higher quail
! ity birds on hand.
| +. WEIGH was the only other ex-
hibitor of this class of birds. winning
one each in the three first classes.
The youngest exhibitor in the
show both in years and experience,
is Allen l.. Park Mr.. Park is but
twenty years of age and has had but
| two years experience, however, not
outstanding his lack in years he
carried away with MIN the first, sec
ond and third prizes with his three
entries in the Black Minorca class
s. w. Nestal, of Selah. gave Mr..
Lancaster a hard run for his money
and had he known of the methods
used by fanciers, might have beaten
him out in this class. Vestal has
been in the poultry business over g
dozen years, but has only been con-
yinced of the superiority of the Leg
horn about two years ago He i'm
at the same time as Lancaster, and
! could not think that little dirt
more or less on the feathers would
affect the showing qualities of his
entries. Judge Denny has set him
right on this point and next year he
] will probably make things interest
ing for Mr. Lancaster AS it was he
won ieght prizes with his % en-
/ tries.
A. F. Linse. owner of the only
two story chicken house in the val
ley, and breeder of White Wyan-
1 dottes, brought sixteen of his 100
! high class fowls in to show, winning
three firsts, three seconds, four
thirds and one fourth and one fifth
twelve wins with sixteen BIRDS, proves
that the two story house with a lath
and plaster up stairs for the chickens
led rooms has some effect on their
standing.
Mr.. Linse has been in the poultry
business ten years for the pleasure
derived from the study rather than
the profits. He usually has abou1
100 birds laying and for eight
months in the year turns over about
five dozen eggs to the local market
daily.
Another contender in the White
4 Wyandotte class is o. A. Beardsley.
whose winning pullet was awarded
the special prize offered by the White
! Wyandotte Association of America,
being the best pullet shown at the
local show. This is his third yea +,
ard out of nine entries he won four
marks. With "a White Wyandottes
entered an exhibitor was fortunate
who could win place in the wins
W. S. Friend, a breeder of quail
ity rather than quantity, in the Buff
Rock fowl had but few entries at
the show, but they looked good to
Judge Denny, who beside granting
Mr. Friend three premiums, takes
with him a coekerel of this strain
for breeding purposes to his poul-
try farm at Rochester, New York.
