cradle attention, there having been a

/ Last night w. III. Card of Manchester,
Conn.,. Judge in the show, gave an ad
dress in the memorial room of the city
hall on "The Breeding of Poultry" Mr..
Card gave his views on present day fads
OF some poultry men and he described
the practice of breeding freak colors in
birds for show purposes, saying no judge
who knows his business will depart from
the usual standards in awarding prizes.
| Speaking of show birds and their quail
| ity as considered by poultry dealers and
maTketmen he said contrary to most be-
| liefs the show bird is the best for eat
/ ing and that when placed alongside ordi-
nary fatted ones in the markets the
housewives invariably select the show
! birds for their general appearance and
cleanliness as well as their apparent ten
derness.
With the aid of blackboard and chalk,
Mr.. Card gave many Illuminating facts
concerning the coloring of birds for show
purposes and the correct and incorrect
methods of breeding for color.
He told of the important shape of the
show poultry being considered first by
the Judges and he added that the combs,
the tails and legs were but minor fea-
lures.
