Choral Club.
The Choral Club, of which Miss Alta
Rowan is director and Miss Ethel
Powe is accompanist, held the first
meeting of the New Year one evening
last week in the private dining room
of the Hotel Hattiesburg.
Owing to a recent donation from
Miss Edna Sigler and her music class,
the club is able to dispense with dues
and urges all singers to join. The
organized efforts of Hattiesburg mu-
sicians can accomplish untold good
and give much pleasure in social, mu'
steal and religious circle. There is
much undeveloped talent in this city
which the chorus should find and slim
I ulate to greater efforts and at the same
[ time furnish soloists the ensemble prac
!, tice they need.
: On Wednesday evening work will
be begun on the program for the col
cert to be given soon at he Auditorium
under the auspices Of the u. D. CT
g The proceeds will go towards defra!

seems to me that that is the way to

building on foundation of feathers

be of eggs and poultry meat. We can
then build superstructure with
feather trimmings. II we want eggs
let US first get hen that lays. no mat
ter what her color or shape. Let US
study her external characters. and
when we find that certain characters
or points indicate the good layer. let
us breed for those characters regard
less of everything else. Then. after
we have developed an egg type and
have got sufficiently large flock we
may, If we wish. give some attention
to feathers; but let us adhere strictly
to the egg type and breed for eggs.
We will make slow improvement in
breeding without an egg record for
each hen in the flock This record can
be obtained only by the use Of the
trap nest, which is about the best

Poultry breeders have been telling
as for years that the pure-bred poul-
try are the best layers. and this is
echoed and re-echoed every day in
the year by the poultry papers. and
most of US have come to believe 1t.
But has any one ever been able to
demonstrate by careful experiments
or tests that the pure-breds are bet
ter layers than the cross-breds or the
ordinary farmyard fowl?
We are apt to tell the farmers
every day that they know nothing
about poultry; that they ought to
study up. We tell about this system
and that system. and special poultry
farms, and tell them to go and do
likewise. But he goes on in his own
ignorance and produces 100000. 900

dyed times in my chicken career that
we who were educating the farmers
were raising sickly. constitutionally
weak chickens, and then to go on to a
farm and see running around the
barnyard, without apparent attention
or care. thrifty. robust, lively chick
ems. The farmer is the best poultry
man in the country. We are the slaves
OF the dogma of the feather and the
standard, and the farmer produces
the eggs.
The way to develop the poultry in
dustry-one way-is to stop advocat-
ing pure-bred or standardized fowls
for the farmer. The way for the
farmer to increase his profits is to
get away from the dunghill idea and
to avoid fancy-bred fowls. He should
decide on the type of fowl to breed
and forget the names of the breeds.
Let him decide, bearing in mind the
conditions of his markets, whether he
wants an egg type or small fowl; a
meat type, large fowl; or general
purpose or medium-sized fowl, and
then purchase pure-bred males Of the
proper type and Of good vigor. and
grade up his flock. The way for the
farmer to start in the poultry business
is to buy few cross-bred fowls. or
eggs from cross-bred fowls from his
neighbor. and then use pure-bred
|\nales to grade up his flock.
Feather is all right, pure-bred fowls
hi all right, but the question is. shall
t1e farmer make feathers and fancy
points Of primary or legendary i'm
portance. 1t is no use talking to the
farmer about fancy points. or about
standard or perfection, unless we can
show him that there Is some connec-
ton between the'i and productive
qualities. He is not concerned about
such things. He is concerned about
supplying the market with poultry
and eggs.
