Where Is the farm boy who will
start a breeding kennel of Irish or
Scotch terriers? 4 pair to begin with
will cost about SIS but it is certain
that tho puppies would sell readily
right here IN the county at not less
than 81 each, and at this price they
would be good investment. These
breeds of dogs are very intelligent,
very watchful and splendid ratters.
On most farms there is serious
loss Of grain by rats. Cats are good
but an active terrier is still better
and he will keep cverlastingly after
the pests. There is no doubt he will
save his cost every year. Who will be
first to start a kennel of terriers?
If you ate nothing but meat how
long would you expect to keep well!
Then why should We expect to have
healthy hogs when we feed nothing
but corn?

POULTRY AND PETSTOCK
THE POULTRY SHOW.

The Olympia Poultry association
cl sed last Saturday what was per-
maps the best show, from many stand
points, it has ever held. The number
OF entries was not exceptionally
large, nor did the directors of the
association expect it to be for the
reason that 1t was necessary to hold
the show late in the season when
most poultrymen hesitate to break
up their matings to send their birds
to the show. The attendance was
gratifying to the exhibitors, for every
exhibitor likes to have his fowls seen
by as many possible purchasers as he
can, and the plan of the directors to
throw open the doors and charge no
admission met with hearty approval
all around. Much larger crowds than
usual viewed the exhibits and this
fact is good, not only for the poul-
trymen whose birds were entered but
for the poultry business in general.
Another point worthy of especial
mention is the number of amateurs
who exhibited their fowls and the
care and attention that was evidently
given to the finer points of condition
ing and preparing them for the show.
Comment On individual excellence Of
exhibits is unnecessary, for the list
of awards published in another
column tells the whole story.
The management is to be congratu-
lated upon many things. 1t is no
easy Job to pull off successful show,
for the trials and tribulations of the
few on whom the bulk of the work
falls make Job look like a piker.
Secretary Lee gave literally of his
time and energy and deserves a good
word from every exhibitor. The
Judging was done early, the premium
tags up and the score cards delivered
promptly. Yes, sir; it was a good
show and it is going to get better
every year until Olympia is considered
the best show town outside the few
big cities.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

Right now is the time to begin
work for the next annual show.
The purpose of poultry associa-
ton and poultry show is to advance
the poultry industry, and if the best
is to be gotten out of 1t the work
should be carried on throughout the
entire year. The organization for the
coming year should be put in shape at
once and not a week should 60 by
without some definite forward work.
We believe in a paid membership, for
1t is true that men and women take
more interest in anything that costs
them something. Make the fee small
enough so that no one may be barred.
Put live committees in charge of the
various branches of the work and
then educate from this day on.
The show ought to be held earlier.
The show just closed was held too
late in the season to get the best re-
suits or the largest entries. Some one
ought to be put on the job and ar
range a date that will fit in with
other shows in Western Washington.
o.
The score card show ought to be
abandoned and the comparison sys-
tenn adopted. The score card IL
thing Of the past. It is unsatisfac-
tory and many breeders will not
show under a score card system. A
glance at the list of some 200 Of the
leading shows of the country reveals
the fact that very few shows still
hold to the old score card system.
Arrangements should be made
with the Judge Of the next show and
other experienced poultrymen to give
talks on selection, mating. judging
etc.
The association should organize .
junior department, in charge Of .
capable man, to interest the young
folk in poultry raising. This can DO
made a work we'll worth while.
The association needs new coops.
The present coops are old, worn out
and unsanitary. A plan should be
devised at an early date for the re-
placing of these coops with up-to-
date equipment. Money can be
saved by early buying.
Yes, the fellow was there who
chad better birds at home" II there
is one individual who ought to be
treated to a coat of tar and feathers
it is the one who tells you that he
left his good birds at home and
brought his scrubs to the show. We
have a bunch what Roosevelt would
call such man.
The officers of the association
should have a real business meeting
at least once a month and keep all
committees on the jump. Therein
be something doing If they do.
