ADVISABLE TO SPECIALIZE

Breeding for exhibition, especially after
 reputation has been gainedh is very
 profitable, but not all men can be fan
 ciers. It is a talent that must be born
 into a man and nursed by good common
 sense and wise judgment To gain prom
 thence a man should have a speciality.
 Fame is never secured with a half dozen
 breeds.
 Ed Thompson has grown rich in the breeding of his Barred Plymouth Rocks He made the Barred Rocks close study Year after year, by wise selection, he | improved the breed to such an extent that today the Standard looks up to hin ra ther than he to the Standard. Yet there was q time when Ed Thomp- son knew practically nothing about Rocks or any other breed. He studied hard. He was an apt scholar. He experimental and he succeeded. The poultry show taught him the lessons that made him famous.
 Every local poultry show deserves the full support of the citizens. Not only Is it an excellent entertainment in itself, but it advertises both the breeders and the town in which it is held Better poultry and more of it is the inevitagle result of the wel-managed local show It should be the duty of every person interested in poultry culture to visit at least one show in a season. and spend plenty or tinle III SluuylnB the Style ana points of the different breeds. To the man about embarking in the business the show will be of untold value, as it will give him an opportunity to see tho diff ferent breeds and compare them with the others. It will develop his fancy. He can better decide what he wants and when ,, once the selection Is made, he should stick to that breed getting all the good out of it possible. S

The poultry show Is an educator The beginner starting out with certain breed can here see where his stock has weak points and wherein he Is strong. To the amateur in exhibitions he has the benefit of the judge who is, as a rule, capable instructor. The beginners fowls fail to get a prize. He cannot understand 1t. To him the winners do not look bit better than his own, Why the distinction In excitement he seeks the judge to de- mand an explanation. That official. used to the kicks of men of little knowledge, calmly explains why the fowls were dis qualified. or shows wherein they are de- ficient. The lesson thus taught is last ing one.

Although Pekin ducks originated in China all the credit for improving the size, shape and color is due American breeders.
 The Pekin is used extensively for market The young ducks are rapid growers and are marketable from the green" duck age until full grown. At the age of 10 weeks they weigh five or six pounds and that bring the raisers as much profit as could be secured by feeding until full grown.

PRODUCING HEAVY LAYERS

Some years ago John Martin Of Port Dover, Canada, finding that there was a demand for bred-to-lay stock, decided to make use of the trap-nest to get the records of his best layers and to begin systematic work along this line.
 In the second years work. he succeeded in getting a wonderful record from an exhibition bullet. She was matched in February and began laying early in the fall. In her first years laying she made a splendid record of 21 eggs. This female he named 'Dorcas' and decided to make use of her to build up flock of heavy layers. She had many other qualities besides being good layer. She had good exhibition quality. splendid color, good shape, neat head points and plenty of size.
 The following season he mated her to a fine vigorous cockerel bred from & female with a record of 2O5 eggs. Thic cockerel also had fine exhibition quality and was good enough to win in keen competition. In building up this (what he called Dor cas) line, he discarded all specimens that did not have fair exhibition quality, and naturally his progress has been little slower than 1t would have been If he had

 Pekins are pure white in plumage, with orange yellow bills and legs. Their bodies are long and deep. The small curled feathers just over the main tail feathers distinguish the drake from the duck. Pekin ducks are prolific layers of fertile eggs.
