fanciers appreciate that the birds
which are to be consistent winners
must possess not only shapely form
but also profitable and persistent egg
laying ability.
The number Of record-breaking fowl
in any flock as a rule is small, both
from an exhibition standpoint as well
as from that of production. It is al
ways more difficult to breed for a high
development of combination of char
acters than it is to obtain intensified
| ton of a single character. ANY ex-
perienced breeder appreciates that if
he concentrates for the production of
meat combs, and diSregardS other
points, he will progress in the produc.
ton of fine heads. But in so doing he
| will have neglected the other qualities
which go to make up exhibition birds,
and in the long run he will not accom-
plish as much as if he improved the
heads simultaneously with other poul-
! try characters.
Opportunity for Breeders.
It is difficult task to breed for q
combination of standard quality and
| utility values, but this can and is
being done at profit. In fact, the
time has arrived when every ambitious
breeder should give careful thought to
the opportunity for success along these
lines. The breeder who is successful
In producing strain of birds capable
of good production has a promising
market among the So-called breeders
OF utility fowls. If he is successful in
combining standard quality with this
production, so that he can produce
birds capable of winning in the poultry
exhibitions of the country, he has a
profitable outlet in the sale of breed
ing stock to those who are interested
in exhibitions of that kind. The man
who breeds only for standard quality,
or a person who produces fowl only for
utility value has a restricted market
outlet for his stock which will prove
much less profitable.
The fact should not be overlooked
that the man who breeds for standard
requirements and therefore for beauty
in his fowl has something which the
casual observer can see and appreciate
and develops in his birds quality OF
advertising value in the sale of breed
ing stock. On the other hand, If he
has only egg production to commend
his stock, he must tell the purchaser
about it, for there is little or nethina
which the prospective buyer can see
in the birds themselves that indicates
whether or not the strain is a good
lproducing one.

Republican opponents of repeal joined

passed and sent to the senate
Final action on the daylight saving re
peal came after a day marked by sharp
political clashes in both house and in
committees. Democrats, including those
iavoring repeal, refused to join in making
the repeal rider in order, and in speeches
on the floor, attacked the Republicans as
playing politics" Republican leaders
however, insisted that the rider alone
would assure early passage of the agri
culture bill which Democrats said was
certain to be vetoed again by President
Wilson, if 1t included the repeal provi
sion

Beauty and utility in happy combina-
ton, as depicted by the most profit
able farm fowls, are attributes which
merit wider imitation among poultry
keepers. Symmetry of form, uniform
ity of characteristics and trueness of
type, rather than superficial, skin-deep
beauty, are desired in producing profit
able poultry, together with the abil-
ity to maintain a liberal and persist
ent production of eggs.
Hen husbandry has suffered because
of fractional fracases between special
lied fanciers and the utility producers
who aspire chiefly for eggs, according
to specialist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Fanciers have
bred for show-ring attributes with COM
parative disregard for proficiency in
egg making, while utility breeders
have gone after egg flow. However,
just as the Holstein cow which wins
the blue ribbon at the fair is judged
not only on her form, conformation,
quality, and type, but also on the
quality and quantity of her milk yield,
so are poultry being judged on their
production and sightliness in CORE
spondence with breeding characters.
Birds of superior vigor and vitality
are necessary, as these qualities are
the basis of both successful egg yield
and premier exhibition attributes.
May Go Hand in Hand.
! Utility and showing poultrymen
| often are at outs over nothing. There
! is nothing in the standard require
ments directly opposed to utility, and
! vice versa. Ambition of certain breed
| ers to intensity and develop special
/ qualities in their fowls has resulted
! however. In a loss of constitutional
vigor, and, consequently, reproducing
ability. Breeders who handle fancy
| fowls whose standard requirements de.
mand extreme superficial characters
such as excessive development of
comb, face or crest, satisfy such con-
ditiOns usually at the expense of util.
ity qualities.
Unfortunately the opinion prevails
among many breeders of utility poul.
try, who never have attempted to breed
for exhibition quality, that because
fowls satisfy the standard require.
ments they must, of necessity, be poor
producers. This is an erroneous idea
The ambition of the leading show men
is not only to exhibit fowl of the best
breeding type, but also birds which
emphasize profitable egg production

partment of Agriculture
The old-time, so-called dyed
in-the-wool" fancier was interest
ed primarily in producing birds
of high exhibition quality and too
frequently had no concern in
their ability back of them. This
fact has led the breeders of
standardized poultry to see that
if they are to take advantage of
all possible profitable outlets for
their stock they must pay more
attention to productivenesS.
There is happy medium be-
tween the high-quality showing
type and the productive egg
yielding type. Breeders of exhi-
bition birds, as well as poultry
raiserS in the business for eggs
and meat, should strive for this
utility showing type.
