PRAISE OF EXPERTS.
John A. Murkih, Nashville, president of
the south central branch of the American
Poultry association, who has had en-
tire charge of the poultry show held
in connection with the Tennessee state
fair for several years, which is every
where conceded to be the premier show
in the south, unhesitatingly declares

ALREADY AT WORK.
1t is an axiom among poultry clubs
that to put on show that really excels,
much preliminary detail and not few
plans must be worked out many months
in advance. Consequently. the first steps
have alerady been taken in anticipation
of next years show.

that the quality of birds shown in At
lanta measured up to his proud home
standard. mr. Murkin is perhaps the
highest authority on poultry matters in
the south. and one or the highest in
the country. He had entire charge of
the poultry show at the jamestown ex-
position. and he ranks high in the coun-
ellis of the national association.
George Ewald. of Cincinnati, one of the
judges, was equally loud I'm his praise of
the show. He has been following the
poultry game more than 30 years. AS
judge he is known throughout this coun-
try, and on numerous occasions his serv-
ices have been engaged abroad. He said
the Atlanta show was the best he had
ever attended in the south, and he has
been coming south 81 years

JAKE NEXT YEARS. SHOW SOUTH'S FINEST

in the next few weeks will hatch birds
that will be just right to enter in the
cockerel and pullet classes next January.
And about this time. or little later, the
best birds in the yard are picked out and
specially cared for in order to work
them up to the almost perfect condition
that is necessary to win where quality
predominates.
In the near future few committees
will be appointed, in all probability, to
get to work on those early preliminaries
that will need attention right shortly. 1t
is not unlikely that an advance premium
list will be printed and sent out in the
early spring.
Look out for our show next year. We
are going tn make it the biggest and
best, not only for Atlanta, but for this
south, aid we will not fall far short of

show is an expensive performance. Ad-
mission is usually small. and a throne
Of people must be attracted to it to
make 1t pay.
Nature played a strong hand against
the show last week. Almost every day
was bad. and two or three of the nights
on which the management had calculat~
ed for booming attendance, it either
rained or turned so cold that everybody
stayed indoors. But in the face of these
odds the show drew well
Quality was another oeraiI In which
the show excelled. That one word sum-
-ed IT up. There was a remarkably
small percentage OF poor birds on ex-
hihition. At big northern show-the

PLAN BIGGER THINGS.

In view CT all this, it is only natural
that the local poultry club should al
ready be looking forward to another big
show next year.
1t is given out officially that the next
show will be held during the month of
January, 1911, that it will be held, If pos
sible. in the main hall of the auditorium
armory-which is ideally suited for pur-
pose-and that it will be made an in
ternational show by cutting the premium
list after the pattern of the big shows
up north.
Which means that birds will not be only
brought to Atlanta from all sections of
this country, but Canadian and Mexican
breeders will be attracted, and not i'm
probable that some will even come from

Athens Saved by Poetry.

voices to urge that the city whose lust
for empire had brought such woes on
Greece ought to be laid level with the

The Spartan general ut first lent a
willing ear to his powerful allies, but
while the council was still debating
this momentous issue plaintive voice
was heard from the city walls chant

heroine contrasts her fallen lot with
the splendid exploits of her father,
who had dismantled the towers Of
Troy.

Sunshine and Dust.

There is more dust in the places il
Illuminated by the suns rays than in
those which we call shady If you
look along beam Of lighl as it streams
through window or IL chink i'm the
door you will see innumerable dust
particles dancing about in the light.
You will be told by most persons that
there Is just as much dust in the non
Illuminated parts Of the room as in the
more favored spaces. but you cannot
see the particles because the rays do
not fall directly upon them. You will
think that this is eminen,ly plausible.
but II is not the case. The sun falling
upon the air creates irregular currents,
and these currents stir up the dust and
collect it in layers along the line Of
light: hence there is more dust where
the sun shines than elsewhere. \ Gu
riOus experience in museum gave
proof Of this 1t was noticed that
there was always more dust on the
glass cases exposed to the sunbcams
than on those which We're never touch
ed by the rays Of the great orb. and
| this led to an inquiry. with the above
| result
