MRS. HEN AND HER HUSBAND.
Important Personages in the Future
Prosperity of the Great West.

1t is only within the last few years
that the Western farmers have com
menced to realize the importance OF
the lowly hen and her husband in the
great economic development of the
West. Most farmers have usually
turned over the poultry end of the
ranch to their women folks" and
have regarded that part of the ranch
as of very little importance. The es'
adjustment of the National Western
Poultry Show as department of the
big annual show at Denver opened the
eyes of many to the Importance OF TINS
industry and the fact that good blood
counted in poultry breeding just the
same as in breeding horses and cattle.
AS a direct result of this first big
show, farmers and stockmen from all
parts of the West carried home some
fancy bred chickens and results nave
been SO satisfactory that there has
been universal demand that the
show be continued. The National
Western Poultry Show to be held IN
connection with the stock SHOW AT
Denver January 1920, will be the
greatest exhibition of fine poultry
ever held west of the Missouri river.
Entries are being made from all parts
of the West and the net result VIII
be an exhibition that will rank this
show among the greatest national al
fairs of the kind held in this country.
Judges of national reputation have
been secured and the size of the show
will only be limited by the amount
of room at the disposal of the show
management.
This feature of the big winter show
in Denver is one of the most popular
to the farmers and ranchmen ana
their wives. 1t provides an oppor'
tunity for them to secure some choice
bred birds of whatever breed they
fancy and the results will be noticed
shortly in the increased production
and better quality of the poultry and
eggs produced in the West.

grown in popularity in this country to
such an extent that they now rival the
Plymouth Rocks and the Wyandottes.
