CONDITIONING BIRDS
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Stand Better Chances for Win
nIaa i Well Trained.


Although the larger poultry shows
are usually held In the fall smaller ex-
hibitions are staged throughout the
winter months. The following advice
in training an6 conditioning birds Pre-
viors to show, given by poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, is good the whole
year round The bird that has been
properly trained and prepared will
stand better chance every time OF
winning a prize than another bird
equally good, but wild or easIly fright
ened, or whose plumage is soiled or
dirty.
After The birds are selected. remove
them from the rest Of the flock and
place each bird in an exhibition coop
for at least a part of each day. Fowls
so confined will become accustomed to
the coop. Handling them--that is, re
moving them from the coop each day
will have the effect Of making them
tame. In handling the birds and re-
moving and returning them TO and
from the eoops. move quietly and han
die the birds gently SO as not 70
brighten them.
Examine the plumage so that the
fowl viii become accustomed to such
movements when being handled by the
judge. Likewise. attempt to compose
the bird by smoothing and stroking the
wattles gently; this seems to have a
soothing effect on the fowls, and when
done frequently and properly they
come to look for 1t when one approach
es the coop.
Birds to be exhibited should not be
confined to the exhibition coops for too
great a period, as long, continuous
cooplng may cause them to get out of
condition and therefore unfit for show.
A satisfactory plan is to confine the
birds for a part of each day or every
other day alternately UP to few days
before sending them to the show, when
they should be confined until ready to
ship.

Many birds have plumage which
is peculiar to the breeding season. and
which is therefore called the nuptlal
plumage. The egret, or white heron,
acquires during the period of court
ship the exquisite plumes which have
very nearly led to their determination
by man. Among other species, such as
the scarlet tanager and the bobolink,
the striking plumage Of the male bird
is replaced after the nesting season by
suit of feathers much resembling
that of the ineonspicuous female.

suit is like taking money from one
pocket and putting 1t in another.
The farm inventory. or property list,
offers the only practicable way Of an
swering these questions. Once the
farmer has made complete list of all
his assets and liabilities and has bal

such a list annually he knows each
year whether he has gone forward or

In many parts Of the country there

low price for the unclaimed wheat
or oats or barley. Besides, the chick

Ugh price Of grain should bring many

No one likes rotten egg, conse-

farmers. do not care whether their hens
steal their nests or not and do not
bother to hunt for the eggs until mar
ket day comes around. Once a week
is sometimes as often as eggs are
looked for. Any eggs that have come
from an old nest or that in any way
look suspicious should be candled at
home before sending them TO market.
