an astonishingly rapid rate and reach maturity well in advance of the average of the flock. From these the winning birds will be selected. In hot competition the difference between the first and sec ond prize winners is very slight, so 1t pays to bring out every good quality of each member of the show string. This involves work, but if it is worth while to go to the trouble of showing, 1t Is cer- tainly good business to do 1t right
 The choosing of the adult birds is sim pler One has had ample opportunity during the year to observe the points of each member of the flock, and knows in advance just which ones should be con ditioned The most important matter is to keep these in prime physical condition and induce them to discard their old coats of feathers they may appear fin fresh, bright plumage. Some naturally mott early and require no special help. Others may be induced to cease egg pro- duction and go into mott by certain methods of feeding. In extreme cases it may be necessary to hand molt' them pulling out the old feathers gradually, so that new ones will take their place.
 The most popular system of feeding to force the mott is as follows: The birds are confined to their houses and their ra- tion decreased steadily until but little food is given each day Egg production will promptly cease. Then a good ration rich in animal food and linseed meal is supplied. This is fed literally. and in most cases the old feathers will be drop ped and new ones started Then the gen. eral treatment as outlined for the chickens should be applied.

to type This means a low percentage of wasters or culls, birds which are not worthy of being retained in the flock. It can be said that few, if any, other breeds equal the Hamburg in this important re- spect
 Silver-penciled Hamburgs. like all other varieties of the breed, are small in size and remarkably beautiful in form. Their general contour and carriage somewhat resemble that of the Leghorn. although they are far more elegant than the latter breed.
 In color, the body plumage of the male is white. The til Is black, the sickles and coverts being edged with a narrow band of white. Wing primaries are white; sec ondaries, white and black. few black bars appear on the sides of the body be- low the wings.
 The female is clothed differently. Her neck is white few black bars appearing at the base, and the rest of her plumage is white. each feather barred with narrow bands of black.
 In both sexes the comb, face wattles and eyes are red; ear lobes, white; beak, horn color; shanks and toes, leaden blue.

 There are six recognized varieties of the Hamburg breed, and while these prob ably have a common origin, they were not all developed in the same country. The spangled and black varieties were brought to perfection in England, while the penciled varieties hail from the Netherlands
 Just why these latter kinds are called 'penciled' Is difficult to understand, ex- cepting on the assumtion that the usage of the tearm has changed since it was ap- piled to them. Their plumage is barred, not penciled; but no true Hamburg fan cier would ever consent to have the time honored name altered In former years, before the breed name had been fixed, the bHamburgs were known under wide range of names, as Everlasting Layers, Dutch Everyday Layers, etc. Of course, these were given in recognition of the marked tendency toward heavy egg pro- duction, which was early manifested by fowls of this kind It is obviously impos-
