This IL the week in which Mr.. Cock.
erel and Miss Pullet hold their grand
annual society event at the Pythian
Temple in Richmond.
The elite of the American, Asiatic,
Mediterranean and English classes OF
poultry will be In attendance in all of
their fInery.
They are a classy lot and should be
given a cordial reception by the
"Panic Proof" city, and by all those
In the country round about.
Our aristocratic 'feathered friends"
like to come to Richmond, because OF
its good reputation as THE" conven-
ton city. and they know that there are
better things in store for them this
year than ever before.
Last year one hundred and fifty dol.
lars was contributed In prizes to show
these society folks OF the poultry
world our appreciation of their quality,
and they made such an excellent show
lnig that 1t was thought best to quad
ripple the contributions.
Wealth Of Prizes.
This means that six hundred dol.
lars 10 offered in prizes this year to
the winners of the blue. red and vel.
Tow ribbons.
But the end Ia not yet; our admirers
Iof classy poultry are not cutters
when they see q good thing they push
1t along.
Not satisfied to stop with a six hun
i6red dollar event they are now laying
Splans for two thousand dollar affair
FLOR next year which is to be held in
tthe Coliseum.
When the Greater Richmond Poul-
TRY and Pet Stock association throws
:epen the doors of the X. of p temple
Ito the public at IL o'clock noon, We'd
tuesday. January cath. let's all go and
f0how the Boosters" who are at the
lhead OF this association that we ap-
kpreciate their efforts.
Some one has said:
y Organization for the accomplish
Inent OF a specific purpose concen-
itrates and directs every energy to-
ward that end. 1t tends to harmonic |
and center the minds Of men Oh one
subject. which. II feasible, is sooner
or later accomplished"
The object OF the Greater Richmond
Poultry and Pet Stock association is,
80 we read in their bylaws: to en-.
courage the breeding and management
OF poultry and other pet stock; also
10 hold public exhibitions at such
time and place as the association may
desire.
A. we interpret this, it means that
the object of this association is not
only to encourage the breeding and
management Of poultry, but to encour.
age the breeding Of high class poul-
try and to show the public, by means
OF exhibits, just what high class poul-
try Is.
commendabIe Object.
' The object Of the poultry organiza- :
ton Is a commendable one; in fact
any organization that has for its OBJ
..ject the encouragement Of better farm
crop or stock production. or the en-.
couragement of better productions of
any kind has . most commendable OBJ
ject.
:. II We could only arouse as much in
terest and enthusiasm in the attain
ing Of higher standard of proficiency
in other lines of endeavor as has been
aroused in better poultry production,
We could begin to feel that some real
big forward strides were being made.
OF course. 1t Is impossible to do ev-
erything In day. Interest and en-
thusiasm come by degrees, and when
they orce get firm grip they are not
easily shaken off.
There are always hopes for the fu-
ture and that which Is now transpir-
ing augurs well.
The day of mongrel stock poultry is
passing. and SO Is the day Of other
scrub stock. for who can take pride
in inferior products.
There are not very many farms to-
day on which one can find chickens
that represent all colors of the rain
bow: because no farmers wife that
IL proud OF her biddies, likes to have
