A Talk About Breeding Birds

believe me, such is not the case. The
word utility is terribly misused in
the poultry business and is used by
most breeders to describe culls fit
only for market. A good utility fowl
should be typical specimen of its
breed and variety, without serious
defects in appearance and healthy,
virile and good sized; and even in
the varieties most numerously bred
White Leghorns for misunderstood a
specimen can not be sold at a profit
for less than So. 90. For $40 in Leg
horns, S15 to S25 in Rocks or Reds
and a little more in Orpingtons, one
ought to procure cockerels fit fol
coop1ng in a pretty good poultry
show, but the additional fnenss
necessary to put bird in the blue
ribbon class is worth a good deal OF
money. A perfect specimen of any
variety has never been produced.
There are thirteen sections to be cut
for shape and color both and the fowl
that comes through without serious
cut in any section is a remarkably
fine specimen. Such bird is worth
great deal of money and touch OF
added superiority in any section
means a doubling of the value. Five
thousand dollars has, been offered,
and refused, for a Madison Square
Garden prize winner, and yet, doubt
less, he was only in slight degree
superior to one that could be purchas-
ed for one tenth that sum.
Only small proportion of the
cockerels raised for breeding purposes
prove to be salable birds when fully
matured. The breeder is fortunate if
one-fourth of his cockerels are worth
keeping past the broiler age, and at
every stage of their growth the per-
centage that has to be culled out is
heart rending. Even when fully ma
tured defects continue to show up and
the loss by accidents of all kinds is
very heavy. When full grown their
temper is fendish and until they are
finally shipped away there is a con-
tinual loss on that account Frequent
ly fine bird is set upon and killed
by the others and many are SO dis
figured by fighting as to be rendered
unstable. They must be watched
closely and that is one reason why
the work and trouble of raising them
is very great. All those kept beyond
the broiler stage are marketed at a
loss if culled out afterward and the
longer they are kept the greater the
loss. How any man can breed even
the commonest varieties with proper
care and sell breeding cockerels at
even a very small profit for less than
a S.. 90 minimum is great puzzle to
me; and | am sure that the fair
minded buyer, after duly considering
the matter, will agree with me.
When purchase feed for my fowls or
groceries for my house expect to
pay the going value of the com
modities. If wheat is worth $50 ton
7 don't EXPECT to get it for 800: and

when have something to sell l think
[ should be able to get the proper
price for it without bling copelled to
resort to any species of shady dealing.
So much for the price of males.
Individual female specimens are OF
less value than males of equal grade.
In the cheaper grades female is
worth about half as much as a male
but in the extremely high grade fowls
the male is more valuable proportion
ately. A condition which increases
the value of breeding hens enormous
Iy. and yet is seldom taken into &C
count by the inexperienced buyer, is
uniformity of appearance. A pen OF
fowls might consist entirely OF good
individual specimens and yet present
an unrleasing appearance because
lacking in uniformity. 1t is no easy
task to get together uniform looking
pen of fowls even when there are
many times the required number to
select from. Indeed so difficult is it
to match them nicely that this one
quality of uniformity will win the
blue ribbon at any poultry show over
pens consisting of much finer in
dividual specimens. But the average
buyer expects the fowls in pen to
be all alike, though in all probability
he is not paying a cent extra for this
very great increase in value. A we'll
matched pair Of horses will bring
from so to 100 per cent more than the
same animals sold separately and a
we'll matched four in hand is worth
twice as much as two pairs. Match
ing up the fowls in pen increases
their value in the same ratio and it
is unreasonable to expect this quality
in considerable degree unless it is
bought and paid for.
But the man without much money
to spend in getting a flock started
can dispense with good deal of this.
1t Is not indispensable that every
tail in the pen be carried at precisely
the same angle, that every comb be
exactly alike in size and number of
points. After all, productiveness is
the greatest quality of all and a nick
ed blade will not affect the number
of eggs laid. Real utility means
achievement rather than looks and
though the thoroughbred fiocks will
outlay the dunghills every time ex-
IRENE beauty is often attained by the
sacrifice OF producing power to some
extent. However it is fact that the
most important type characteristics
of standard bred fowls-I am now
abiding to the "Iaying breeds make
for productiveness as we'll. Shape of
body and symmetry are the most i'm

No breeder can sell male bird of

The cabled news that Jack Johnson
will fight Sam McVey in Paris on
Grand Prix night instead of in Sgd
ney has been received with great in
terest by local fight followers.
Both Johnson and McVey are well
known in Paris, though the champion
did not fight in the Gay City during
his recent European tour. McVey,
however, has engaged in many bat
ties there during the past year or
so and is today outside of Carpenter,
the fstic idol of the French capital.
Langford lost a costly decision to
McVey in the battle in Sydney the
other night. With Johnson and Nc
Vey headed for Europe, the Boston
Tar Baby's chance of making for
tune out of his trip to the Common
wealth is greatly diminished. If Joe
Jeanette remains firm in his resolu-
ton to visit Australia in the near flu
ture, however, Langford will not find
his occupation entirely gone.
Langford and McVey have met twice
in the ring. Until recently, however
Langford was conceded to be the one
heavyweight in the game capable Of
giving Jack Johnson an argument
McVey, particularly on his American
record, has never been considered
more than second-rater. He mus

In Olympic Trials?

the same, he might very easily do,
and with the best intentions in the
world.
Gorge Freeth undoubtedly means
well by offering to take Duke under
his wing, but it is safe bet that he
would be classed as a professional
within a month after his arrival in
California. Freeth sees a chance for
the native to make nice piece OF
money in California aquatics and in
cidentally an opportunity to profit
himself through intelligent exploita-
ton of Duke.
OF course, from professional stand
point, this is all well and good, but
if Kahanamoku is to go to San Fran
cisco and perhaps later to Stockholm
on an amateur errand he must leave
Hawaii under proper auspices.
There is reason for believing that
/ W. T. Rawlins, an old Yale man, an
admirer and believer in Kahanamoku,
and one well versed in every phase
of amateur athletics, contemplates a
trip to the Coast shortly. 1t would be
an excellent thing, providing the
financial obstacles were overcome
and Mr.. Rawlins were willing, to have
him take KahanamolIu under his wing
and esquire him while away.
A thousand dollars is needed to
send Duke away and to bring hin
back again An extra five hundred
wouldn't hurt little bit.
If Kahanamoku would make prop
osition to SWIM trial hundred yards

NORTHWEST'S
BIG ATHLETES

PORTLAND, Ore, December 21.-
When Americas Olympic candidates
assemble in San Francisco for the
Western track and field trials early
in May of 1912, the Pacific Northwest
will be represented by at least five
athletes, that number having signi-
fed their intention of competing.
They are Sam BeIlah, pole vaulter
and javelin; Martin Hawkins, hur-
dies, and Forest Smithson, hurdles,
of the Multnomah Club of this city,
and Clarence Edmundson, quarter and
half, and Con Walsh, weights, of the
Seattle Athletic Club.
Smithson, the worlds champion
12O-yard hurdler, retransferred to
Multnomah from the Los Angeles
Athletic Club upon returning from
the south to make his home here, and
will wear the colors of the local clul
in the San Francisco trials Bellah
and Walsh hold national titles
Edmundson won the half-mile run
at the 1909 games in Seattle, and is
holder of the Northwestern intercoI
legiate record for that distance.

Sam Hop, the indefatigable Chinese
sportsman, plans to give a field and
track meet on February II, Chinese
New Years Day, which shall eclipse
all affairs of similar nature ever
held.
Past Chinese athletic celebrations
have been all to the good and have
produced some really fine sport The
Chinese Athletic Club has acted as
sponsor for these events in the past
but this year Sam Hop has been dele
gated by the Chinese community to
take charge of the arrangements and
run the thing through.
The meet, which will be divided
into senior and junior sections, will
be brought off at the Boys Field on
Liliha street, place where many Ha-
waiian records have been established
in the past,
The events, which, with the exception
of the mile walk, will be closed to
Chinese athletes, will be as follows:
100, 200, 44O, $50 and mile runs;
three-mile run, one-mile walk, free

shot, and half mile relay race.
The Baseball Card.
On the following day, Sunday, Janu-
airy is, at the Athletic Park, there
will be game between mines repre-
senting the Chinese Athletic Club and
the Chinese Students Alliance.
It will be a great season of sports
for the local Chinese and all the old
favorites are expected to be seen in
the various events as well as a num-
Der of new performers of whom great
things are expected. The announce
ment of the events is given in good
time in order that all contemplating
entering may get into such shape as
will enable them to do themselves full

Sam Hop announces that next Sun
day afternoon, in the Oahu Junior

that this game will be followed by
one between the Aalas and Asahis.

HOW HOGAN
BEAT NELSON

NEW YORK, December 22.-"One
Round" Hogan was given the popular
decision over Battling Nelson, former
champion of the world, in
a ten-round bout at the Madison Ath
letic Club here tonight,
Nelson failed to show his old cham
pionship form. The crowd conceded
almost every round to the Californian.
Hogan was active with his punch,
while Nelson's work was almost alto
Igether mitigating, which did little
damage. Despite its onesidedness, the
bout was fast.
Hogan weighed in at 1874 pounds at 6
In. m, with Nelson at catch weights,
about five pounds heavier. zone
Round easily had the better of the
first session, but he was much at fault
for clinching. In a sharp rally in the
fourth, Hogan sent the Battler to the
ropes with left jab and right swing,
and Nelson came back weakly with
short-arm work.
In the fifth round Hogan staggered
the Battler with a hard right uppercut
to the chin. Hogan opened the next
round with a right uppercut to the
chin. Hogan opened the next round
with left and right to the head with.

lin with a right to the head, which was
too far back to be effective.
Hogan landed four lefts In quick
succession in the seventh, but later

1t looks, from present indications,
that unless some steps are taken at
once to secure funds to send Duke
Kahanamoku, Jr., to the Coast to take
part in the Olympic trials next month
the project will fall through.
There is about $500, the proceeds
of a benefit sporting event, to the
credit of the fund, and the Hui Nalu
are thinking of giving benefit per-
Torrance of some kind in the near
future.
George Freeth is also trying to get
Duke to the Coast to fill position in
connection with one of the California
baths.
1t would be a good thing for Ha-
waii from an advertising standpoint
if Kahanamoku were sent to San
Francisco to take part in the trials.
Win or lose, he can be relied on to
make a creditable showing.

ARNST WILL
CYCLE AGAIN

When Dick Arnst won the Sydney

five years ago. and then retired from
cycling to become champion sculler Of
the world, it was thought that he had
ridden his last bicycle race. Such is
not the case, however, for, after a i've
years retirement, the champion cy-
clist-sculler has decided to again take
to the cycle track, and will be a com
petitor in the six days race which is
to be held in Sydney next month, and
also in the six days race which is to
be held in Meib9mne III February, and
will have as his team mate r. j. Nc

Although it is FIVE years since he
raced on a bicycle, Arnst is very con
,fidont of recovering his old-time form.
He Is only a young man, and such a
noted slayer will be wen suited IN a

pate in the distribution of the prize
money. As a team mate he has Sc
lected one of the best all-round riders
Australia has produced Mcnamara is
as good a slayer as Arnst as cy
clist was in his prime, and he has =
