POULTRY YARD NOTES.

There is no better advertisement for
the poultryman than the winning of
blue ribbons at poultry shows. The
larger the show and the hotter the
competition, the better standing the
successful winner obtains, and the
higher prices he can command for his
products. But if you decide to com
pete for these cherished awards. prop
crly prepare your best birds.
Conditioning string of fowls for
the show is more than a week : work.
The males must be separated from the
females from the time the new feathers
appear in summer until the close Of
the show season, to prevent the plum
age of the females being soiled and
broken.
In order to have the mature fowls in
condition for the fall and early winter
shows, it is necessary gradually to re-
move all the old feathers in July and
, August Pull the wing and tail feathers
! first then pluck the neck, back and
body feathers, a few haudfuls every
day until the old feathers are gone.
During this forced development of
new feathers the fowls must receive
special food to hasten the growth of
attractive plumase- y whole grain
mixture fed literally typic. daily, con-
sisting of equal parts wheat, oats.
buckwheat and COW peas, is admirably
suited to all breeds Whole yellow
corn should be fed to buff and red va
rieties but not to white or black fowls,
since il has tendency to iInpart
yellowish tint to the plumage. A daily
supply of buttermilk sour milk is
preferable TO feeding dry or wet mash,
but in the absence of the milk product
Il dry mash containing about 20 per
cent prime beef scraps is essential.
Build 4 row of training coops around
the walls of d house to accustom cN-
hibition birds to the confinement and
iexcite,nent of the show. The coop
should be two feet square and thirty
inches high for each bird. with the floor
made Of one-inch mesh wire netting.
The use of the netting floor insures
sanitary coop, and keeps the fowls feet
clean The youngsters, especially, Will
be wild when hrst coniihea' SO 90 not
frighten them more than necessary.
Have vessels in the coop for feed and
water Go 70 the coops several times
a day and endeavor to tempt the chick
ems with dainties to eat When the
birds are reconciled to the confinement
take a stick and gently pass it along
the back; then try the hand, and 4
few days you can place each bird in any
desired position.
About four days before the show give
each fowl a warm bath. A thorough
washing and careful drying will inn
prove the appearance of almost every
| fowl whether it's color Is white, black
or intermediate shades hot room and
the following utensils are essential:
