The beauty contest season for poul-
try is again at hand and fanciers who
previously have fretted over egg rec
ord and feeding rations are now con-
their best bib and tucker and prepar-
ing them for inspection by judges at
fairs and poultry shows.
Something besides external beauty
and fine feathers is required to win in
the show ring. Every fowl, whether
young or mature, should be In first
class show condition when 1t enters the
exhibition hall. The plumage should
be the standard length for the breed
lustrous and plentiful, the head bright
red In color, and the comb developed
to the required size. The specimen
should appear In handsome dress. good
physical condition, and trained to ex-
hibit his good qualities to advantage.
Careful training imparts to bird suffi-
cient confidence to assume and hold
desired poses under showroom condi-
tions.
II possible, obtain exhibition coops
similar to those used at the show you
will attend. Cover the floor with short
clean straw, or a mixture of bran and
straw for feathered-leg breeds. Two
months before the show place In the
coops at night the birds you intend to
exhibit. Visit the coops as frequently
as you can and handle the birds often.
Carry them around under the arm. op-
en- their wings and examine the under
color. and accustom them to every
movement of the judge. 1t is not ad-
yisable or necessary to keep the show
birds confined in the training coops. A
day at time Is sufficient; then allow
them the run of the house for two or
three days, and outdoor exercise II
seasonable.
Diet Makes Hens Handsome.
Show birds should receive a variety
Of foods. If you wish to increase
weight rapidly, make a mash of equal
parts of corn meal, ground oats, wheat
middlings and thick sour milk or but
termilk. Sweeten 1t with brown sugar,
and add 10 per cent linseed meal. The
mash should be of the same consist-
ency as thick oatmeal porridge. This
is similar to milk-feeding rations, but
1t should be fed only each morning.
Feed whole or cracked corn, wheat, ka-
fir corn, barley, or buckwheat. or a
commercial scratching food, in the mid
die of the day and again In the late af-
ternoon. Feed yellow corn to bun va
rieties, and white corn to white, black
and parti-colored. Yellow corn may
cream the plumage of white birds. A
little cooked or raw meat or ground
bone will be beneficial, except to spec
linens inclined TO grow large combs.
1t is necessary to examine your show
birds carefully at least 10 weeks before
the show. Remove all imperfect feath-
ers In the hope that they will be replac-
ed by feathers of standard color. Fre-
quently colored feather showing lit
tie white along the edge of the web will
molt out perfectly when the fowl is we'll

grain. Never pluck new feather

hide Is 10 skin the animals head,
cheeks and face. This should be done
while the animal Is still suspended.
Always keep the hide free from meat,
as one OF the common faults of country
hides Is the presence of more or less
meat. usually cheek meat. The next
step In the operation Is to lower the
animal on Its back and remove the
skin from the legs. Following this, the
hide should be ripped down the belly
from the sticking cut to the tail, MAX
Ing a neat, straight rip, free from
jagged edges. The sides are then
skinned. working forward to the brisk
ct and then back to the inside of the
hind leg. Lift away the hide with the
free hand and stretch IL tightly by
pulling outward ard upward against
the knife or wooden stick.
Injury Done BY Blood.
Blood is Objectionable on hides, par
ly to cause the hair to slip from rot
ting or decomposition when the hides
are packed. This may result In hav-
ing otherwise good hides placed In the
No. 2 grade on the market. Care
should be taken to avoid placing any
hides In the pack until they are free
from animal heat. Allow them to lie
folded from three to FIVE hours or suf-
ficlently long to allow the animal heat
to get out of them. If this is not done,
patches OF decomposition may result,
and such hides. though carefully re-
moved, may be reduced in market
value at least one cent or more q
pound.
Preparing Hides for Market.
The preparation of hides and skins
for market is OF great Importance. for
II they are not properly prepared and
shipped they are subject to great de
terloratlon. As n rule, hides are fold
ed with the hair side out. 1t is es-
sential to fold In the head and neck
on the body of the hide, flesh surface
together, and to turn IN the toll In a
similar manner. Then a narrow fold
should be made on each side by throw
ing back the body edges and legs, keep
ing, the lines OF the folds parallel.
Stacking Up Hides.
In building up a pack OF hides the
outer edges should be kept little
higher than the middle, so that the
liquid or brine, formed by the dissolv-
ing of the salt In the natural moisture
OF the hides. may be absorbed by them
