During the fall and winter a large f.\ . . lumber of poultry raisers will show . , birds nt poultry shows The love of prizes should nol loud to the pampering ' Ing of the fowls that are to be ex- hibited. The birds that are to be . placed before the pUblic will be the , best ones front the standpoint of official . fIclnl excellence , and these are the , ones hat I arc of most value for ( breedlllg purposes But It Is no so' I'el that a good tn\ny.of these birds . are : ruined 1'01' breeding purpose in 1\ \ ; sIngle campalrn ; : It is not all un- usual thing lo have these prize birds ' : sell for a fancy price \ , and the buyer . . he sadly disappointed when ho comes to look ; : for resulls. Time blue ribbon I Is the cause of retrogression in the ' flock of many a breeder lIe wins the 1 blue rIbbon for his birds and makes a I great reputatIon for himself , which , means a great demand for the prod- , \lct of his - yards . and he Is then un' able to meet that demand on account " ot the breeding qualities of his best . t birds having been deteriorated by , overfoedlng. , . The Head of the Flock. The character of the flock of poultry - try may bo rapidly built up if I the head of the flock Is every year a vigorous bird of high breeding. An old scrub I wIll not do. Neither does it do to pick : out a fine looking bird , If one of the grades. Using grades to head I the flock : : can never Improve the avers ago of the flocl\ : Culling Out. Il does not pt'y to carry cuBs any ; - longer than It is possible to deter- i mine that they are culls Prices are . better now than they wIll ho later In I the fall , and the bIrds that are not A ( ' suitable for breeders should be soul Ito I to market as soon as they can be prop- 1 erly fittod. If the breeder is trying . { to raise the standard at his flock it , ' , will pay him to cull closely. ; , Fall Buying. The tlm' to buy hens and roosters for breedIng purposes Is In the fall , : as the price Is then lower than at any other time of yonI' The large num- , bel' of birds In Ue hands of breeders . make It easy to secure bargains. When the noels ; : have all been cut , down to half what they are In the tall It wlll not be so easy to get good I birds at a reasonable price. - - , In Selling Breeders. , , The best way to dispose at breedIng Y " birds Is to advertise them in the agricultural - " cultural papers. A good many breed- ors carry stock ; : for months longer \ than they need to because they have f ' not learned that money spent In advertising - } \'ertlslng Is well spent The cost of ' 'I advertising Is largely paid by the saying . Ing In the cost of keeping the birds It j they are not sold. . . Good Prices for Good Birds. A man can afford to pay a good I price for a good bird. A little more vigor than usual Is worth money. If n Ulan Is Intending to build up n flock out of which he hopes to bring prize winners he will find it to his advan- tage to have an expert score the birds he places at the head ot the flock. Got Rid of the Roosters. ' Very few roosters are needed In a \ J' ' HoelIt : the eggs the hens lay are not to be used for setting It Is unnecessary - necessary to have a male head of the nock. Without him the eggs will keep botter. - - Not many owls should be kept In ono house.
