BREEDING OF FANCY FOWLS
Practice Results in More or Less Gen eral improvement of Poultry
 Some Suggestions.

dgrom the United States Department of
 Agriculture1
 There should not be any discourage ment of the breeding of what is or dinarily known as fancy poultry. That term is usually applied to the stand ard breeds as kept by specialists who produce exhibition birds. That prac- tice has always resulted in more or less general improvement of poultry and should continue to perform just that function at this time when the wider keeping of better grade ot poultry stock cannot fail to result in an increased production. The work of the poultry specialist also gives en- couragement 10 the general farmer and the backyard poultry keeper to take better care of the tlocks. The continuance of poultry exhibitions, maintained almost wholly by the poul- try specialist, is certainly justified during the present emergency. It has always been the breeders of exhibition fowls who have been the leaders ill promoting the welfare of the poultry

any important vote Is taken. While complaint is not made very frequently about the pairs. 1t often happens that an injury or injustice is done to some member by being paired wrong. Re- suits have not been affected very much in the house by pairs, although 1t was said that the woman suffrage amend ment was aided to a considerable ex- tent by the manipulation of pairs when tbat close vote was taken. The jug gling of pairs in the senate has on several occasions affected the vote on very important measures. This has occurred also on occasions when two thirds votes are taken. The question of pairs prevented q vote on the woman suffrage amendment two months ago, and as long as there are vacancies or very sick senators it may cause delay when the suffrage amendment is again brought forward. But as the matter of pairs is one of personal arrangement between senators and representatives, there does not seem to be any way of remedying it.

industry and these men have been especially willing to give their time and efforts in working for increased production.
 Standard poultry, as the phrase is commonly used in America, is poultry bred to the standards established by the American Poultry association. The object of making standards for poultry is the same as the object of making standards of weight, volume or quail ity for any product or commodity; i. e, to secure uniformity and estab- fish series Of grades as a basis Of trading in the article.
 In making standards for poultry which apply in the process of produe- ton, the principal points considered are size, shape and color
 Size and shape are breed characters and largely determine the practical values of poultry. Many standard breeds are divided into varieties differ ing i'll color but identical iii every oth- CT respect. Color is not Il primary utility point. but as q secondary point often comes ill for special considera- tion. For example. white variety and q black variety of the same breed are actually identical in table quality, but because black birds do not dress for the market as clean and nice looking as white ones il often happens that they are not as salable
 When flock of fowls is kept for production only, uniformity in color is much less important than approxi- mate uniformity in size and type, yet the more attractive appearance of flock of birds of the same color justi- ties selection for color as far as it can be followed without sacrificing any material point.
 When poultry keeper grows his own stock year after year he should by all means use stock of d well-estab- Hshed popular standard breed. By do- ing so and by selecting as breeders only as many of the best specimens Of the flock as are needed to produce the chickens reared each year, a pouI- try keeper maintains in his flock a highly desirable uniformity of excel fence in every practical quality and, with little extra care and no extrn cost, can have pleasing uniformity in color. To the novice in poultry keeping it often appears that there is no real necessity for so many breeds and varieties as have been standardized in America. Further ac- quaintance with them. however, shows that although color differences are in most cases merely to please the eyes of persons having different prefer ences for color, the differences in shape and size which make breed character have been developed with view to adapting each to particular uses or particular conditions.
