After many years Of practical use,
some fanciers became interested in
the breed and few were exhibited at
poultry shows during the latter sos.
In 1892 they were exhibited at Phila-
Jelphia as Golden Bluffs. Some speci-
meus had rose combs and others single
combs. and the breeds were developed
Is Rhode Island Reds.
Their fanciers were very enthusiasts
tic and energetic: competition to breed
and exhibit the best specimens was
keen.
The hens lay big brown eggs and
many specimens have established high
laying records. The chicks are strong
and vigorous. When full grown the
males weigh from ~ to 81 pounds:
females, SIX to 81 pounds, though
many specimens exceed these weights.
The pullets mature early and lay we'll

something easily digested. Tho feed
ing should be regular and often-small
quantities at a time being given and
great care taken not to overfeed. A
mixture of equal parts rolled oats and
stale bread crumbs, mixed with finely
ground hard boiled eggs. shells includ-
ed, has given excellent results. This
should be mixed in the proportion of
one egg to six times that bulk Of the
rolled oats and bread crumb mixture.
\ little fine grit may be added to the
mixture, but only little, as the
chicks will eat anything the first two
weeks of their lives. and are as likely
to fill up on grit as feed. This mix.
ture should be fed five times a day the
brown paper: after that chick feed
may be allowed twice a day and egg
mixture three times day. .g
After the first week the egg mixture
may be fed in small galvanized
troughs and the grain thrown into
light litter. Only what the chicks will
clean up In 10 or Is minutes should
be allowed, and care taken to remove
and mash that is left.

1t Is best to temper the water for the
first week, az ice-cold water has been
found detrimental.
At Three Weeks Of Age.
After the chicks are three weeks old
the egg mixture should be gradually
displaced by the following mash: 200
lbs. wheat bran. 400 lbs. cornmeal, 200
lbs. middlings, 100 lbs. linseed meal.
100 lbs ground oats--hulls sifted out,
100 lbs. alfalfa meal and 200 lbs.
screened beef scraps. This mixture
should be moistened with water or
milk to make a crumbly moist mash
not sticky. and should be fed twice a
day in such amounts as the chick will
clean up quickly. The grain mixture
should be fed three times day.
After the chicks are four weeks old
a growing feed grain mixture will be
needed In place of the chick feed. At
light weeks old the growing feed grain
mixture may be displaced by a mix.
ture Of equal parts whole wheat
cracked corn and Clipped oats. The
number OF feelings should be gradu-
ally reduced until at eight weeks they
receive only three feedings-grain
morning and night with moist mash at
loon. Great care must be taken not

When the chicks are a week old
daily supply of green feed should not

less than in 1914. and 20 per ccut less
