FIRST STEPS TO BE TAKEN.
The keynote to success in showing. II
might be said, lies in one word--"c m
dition.' There is no real symmetry with
out condition; size and weight largely do
pend upon condition hrilliancy Of com o.
earlobes and vattles depend upon condi-
ton. back, breast, body. wings. tail, fluff
and legs. all are affected by condition
Thus it will be seen that success or fail
ure in the show room is A matter ina:
hinges, relatively, on condition.
Tho meaning Of the term condition is
the state of fowl as regards heaI'h
cleanliness and order Of plumage
The legs and toes of the birds Shout lie
carefully washed and cleaned few DAYS
before taking them to the exhibition. For
this purpose have strong soapsuds Do
the work thoroughly. taking great Faro o

thoroughly cleaned rub with little swee.

drops Of carbolic acid After this precau-
ton. the birds should be placed in a large
cage, the floor Of which is bedded With
clean straw.

mixture of two parts alcohol and one
part glycerine is often rubbed on the
parts. Naselne Is also used by some
showmen.
The plumaEe. too must be clean. and
in cases Of white birds some prefer wash
ing. When this is done good quality Of
soap should he used. However. in the
local shows il is better to have naturally
clean birds than washed ones. Twenty
years ago breeders were not SO par -
lar about washing their birds. They would
select their specimens early In the season
and keep them in a separate pen the foe
Of which was covered with clean rye
straw. When these birds were sent 10 the
show they had that natural white color
that was so attractive, and not the un
scientific washings. This same plan Can
still be followed by the local shows.
TANNING BIRDS IMPORTANT.
Another point that is we'll worth remem-
hering is to have the birds tame. Never
take a wild. scary bird TO the show rot m,
Such specimen will not only be apt 10

the Judge is unable 70 get il to pose so
that he can justly give il credit.
About two or three weeks before ox-
hibiting. the birds should ne placed in
separate cages so thai they will become
accustomed to being handled. This will
tame them 7 have in this manner sub
dued the widest bird in a weeks time.
While poultry shows in general are ed
