STANDARD BRED POULTRY.
(By Chas. M. Brown


Most every farmer in the United
States has been to the local parish
or state fair, and seen among the
many farm exhibits the chicken
show" 1t may be that quite num-
Der didn't think it worth while; ii
so, they certainly missed seeing some
thoroughbred pOultry-the cream OF
the domesticated egg and meat pro-
ducers of the country, thereby los
ing the opportunity Of comparing
them with the dung-hill variety
found on most farms.
Standard bred poultry, like stand
ard bred horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs, pays. The trouble with most
farmers is, they think any hen that
lays an egg is as good as any laying
hen regardless Of variety, or its
standard breeding.
Some people really don't know
what standard bred poultry means.
They have a vague idea it means
fancy chickens" because they hear
or read about poultry shows and
prizes for the best birds. They
don't know that for many years
there has been printed book call
ed THE Standard of Perfection"
and containing 368 pages. discuss
ing and illustrating every variety OF
chicken and water fowl in the world
now domesticated by man. BY this
book every poultry show in the
world is judged, by men expert in
raising standard bred poultry, and
having knowledge of all varieties as
laid down in this book. When we
say standard bred" we men poultry
bred to the requirements set forth
in this book, and yet no breeder has
ever raised a chicken scoring 100
points, which means perfection.
Now, why is standard bred poul-
try more profitable to raise than the
mongrel or dung-hill kind? That II
is more profitable is unquestionably
true.
The standard bred is pure bred
and kept pure bred by not crossing
with any other strain or variety OF
chickens. Cross the Rhode Island
Reds with the Black Langshans and
the identity of both are lost, and sc
with any two pure bred or standard
bred varieties.
OF course. for eating purposes, the
egg from the mongrel hen brings the
same price. on the market, as the
egg from the standard bred hen-nG

able to prove to the Department OF
Agriculture that we are able to take

avoidable delays of the court in

and money, which will be needed In
