WATERMELON, Va, January 20
Washington and District breeders fig
ured largely among the prize winners
at the Warrenton poultry show, which
closed yesterday. The display was de-
clared by exhibitors and judges to be
the best ever held in northern Virginia,
and it was further asserted that the
class displayed by the many entries
was equal to that of similar entries at
the New York, Philadelphia and Wash
ington shows.
suggestion made by judges and Of
ficials of the Warrenton show is ex-
pected to be taken up with officials
of the National Capital Poultry and
Pigeon Association. This is that the
lar associations in Virginia, Maryland,
West Virginia and the Carolinas to
hold one big show in Washington each
year Such show, it is held, would
eclipse anything possible from the eff
forts OF any single organization, and
would take rank with the big Madison
Square show in New York. 1t is ex-
pected the proposition will be laid be-
fore the various organizations men
toned in the near future.
Washington winners here were: F.. A
Kerr, who took first and second cock
first, second and fourth hen; first and
second cockerel, first, second and third
pullet and first and second pen in the

All Around the Place.

OF the many different lines of agri-
cultural interests. poultry raising, fruit
growing and bee keeping can be COM
bined to the best advantage. Poultry,
fruit and bees are directly benefited
by being kept together. Three essen
tial crops, meat, fruit and honey. can
he grown on the same ground at one
time each contributing to the success
of the other in various ways. Fruit
trees afford the shade and protection
necessary for fowls and bees. They
yield food in blossoms. insects and fall
en- fruits and in return are benefited by
losing all that is SO eagerly devoured
by the Industrious beneficiaries of their
beauty. Fowls not only decrease the
insect pests in the orchard. but they
deposit rich nourishment unsurpassed
in quality for soil. The majority of
have orchards or plots of ground that
with very little preparation can be
made into ideal poultry runs. Where
beginners are planning plot to set
out in fruit, future growth should be
considered. Standard apple trees should
be planted thirty-five or forty feet
apart each way. as the trees do not get
large enough to bear under ten years,
nor attain full growth under twenty
years Many desirable crops can be
secured in the meantime by setting
out two peach or plum trees. or rows
of pear and cherry trees between the
apple trees. This leaves ample room
for bush fruit or berries to be raised
and cultivated. 1t is best to put early
by chicks in the young fresh planted
trees and bushes to prevent damage to
tender roots from scratching. Baby
chicks thrive best among bushes and
vines.

An important item that is often
overlooked in the management of the
dairy herd is the necessity OF providing
salt in the ration of the COW. All ami
mails that consume large quantities of
vegetable food require salt. Babcock
of the Wisconsin experiment station
found, in his experimental work, that
the cattle. when deprived Of salt. be-
came emaciated and were OF low vital
ity. and finally suffered a complete
breakdown. He recommended that they
should be fed three-fourths of an
ounce per day live weight. with an
additional 6-lO ounce for each twenty
pounds of milk produced. While salt
may be provided in the daily ration by
mixing it with the grain. an equally
satisfactory method in practice is to
keep it in a convenient place, where
the animals may have ready access to
it when they so desire. 1t may be used
in the form of rock salt. or placed in
boxes in the feed lot However. 1t
should be borne in mind that salt is
very essential to the economical han
ding and health of dairy cattle.
