J. MARSHALL WILL EDIT GEORGIAN'S POULTRY DEPARTMENT I The Georgian takes great pleasure in announcing that Judge F. J. Marshall, of College Park, becomes poultry editor of this paper beginning Monday. He will contribute an article each day. answer promptly all questions from readers of The Geor gian. and will edit the Saturday supplement devoted to poultry and pet and live stock. -Judge Marshall is the foremost poultry expert in the South today. As a fancier and as a judge he has achieved a reputa tion which gives the stamp of authority to whatever he writes. It is particularly appropriate that- he join forces with The Georgian, for he has long real ized the great work this paper has done for the poultry industry in Georgia in being the first Southern daily to give proper recognition to poultry breeding as a first-class business, and a recreation without equal. Judge'Marshall became a breeder of fine poultry when but a boy. and has made it a business ever since. He has served his apprenticeship all down the line of breeding, exhibiting and ship ping fine stock all over this country. He began Judging at the fairs and shows over 25 years ago and frequently handles at least lO.'iOO birds in a. sea son. He has judged at leading shows North and South, among them Chicago exposition in 1893. Louisiana Purchase exposition in St. Louis, 19(14; James town exposition, 1907; Cleveland. Chi cago, Cincinnati, Washington, Pitts burg. Atlanta, Augusta. Memphis, New Orleans, Nashville and Charleston. He has been an active member of the American Poultry association for nine teen years. He was a member of the committee to revise The American Standard of Perfection for 1910, and is a member of the < i>mmittee for 1915. Judge Marshall has written quite a little for the poultry and agricultural press during the past 25 years. In 1887 he acted as poultry editor of The Ohio Farmer. During the past six year.- he has been editor of the poultry department of The Southern Ruralist, of Atlanta, and built it. up to its present high standaid. and will continue his good work with that paper.

After ground Is well stirred, sow rye and roll it in. In spring, just when frost begins to come out of the ground, sow a good mixture of clover seed in the rye. Good whitewash applied with a com pressed air spray pump is an excellent -weetener for poultry buildings if th»- work is well done and allowed to dry before the houses are used for stock. purp(»se for which the ducklings are being kept Given plenty of drinking water, enough water for swimming is not a s,sjt\ when the birds have free range, but should the' latter be re stricted. swimming water is advanta ge.m- in that it offers Inducement for ix' icls.

Mass., wholesale eggs and live poultry dealers. This card contains ten "suggestions” that are worthy of being posted on every poultry plant in the country. Here they are: 1. Improve your poultry stock. 2. Provide one clean, dry. vermin free nest for every four or five hens. 3. Conclude all hatching by May 15. and confine or sell male birds during the remainder of the season. 4. Gather eggs daily during ordinary times; twice daily during hot or rainy weather. 5. In summer place eggs as soon as gathered in a cool, dry room. 6. Use all small, dirty eggs arid ex tra large eggs at home. Eggs should never be washed, as water opens the pores. 7. Take eggs to market at least once a week, and do not expose them to the sun's rays. Eggs should have as good care as milk. They are perishable. 8. In selling, insist on being paid for quality. If you have taken care of yottr eggs, you don't have to stand part of the loss of the shiftless pro ducer. 9. Remember, the egg business has outgrown the “pin money" stage, and is (or should be) one of the largest and best departments of your farm, and it is up to you to make It so. 10. Have your eases dry and clean ■ and thoroughly aired, with excelsior on ■ the top and bottom. 6,250 CARS OF POULTRY SOLD IN NEW YORK IN 1912 More live poultry is being sold in the New York market than ever before. Basing their < alculations on operations so tar this year, dealers estimate that the total volume of business for 1912 will approximate 6.250 cars. The total for 1911 was 4.875 car-, and for 1910, 3,488 cars. Wholesa'e prices have been and are now- below those of 1910, but above those of 1911. The averages as shown by trade levords for 1910 were 16 cents per pound, and for 1911 14.32 cents. The average so far for 1912 has been about 15 cents, at which dealers assert that poultiy is the cheapest meat product that goes into general con sumption. cm the whole, prices have varied but slightly during the past three years, while nearly everything else has broken all high price records. THIS TIP IS ONE ALL POULTRYMEN CAN PLAY Cremate or deeply bury the dead chickens? We wish that we could have that sentence painted in letters a foot high, on a sign that couldn't be missed and must be heeded, and posted on every poultry plant everywhere. Cre mation Is best and far better than bur ial. but deep burial is better than the carelessness which leaves dead fowls and chicks lying about on the poultry plant, in manure heaps, in open pits, or in adjoining woods and fields. We re peat: Whenever you find a dead fowl or chick or kill a sick one. cremate or deeply bury (beyond chance of being difg up by dogs or skunks >, and do it Immediately Don't wait, don't hesit c —get busy. It was back in the olden times that they had to have a person go crying It out If any one had anything to sell or wanted to buy. or to notify the people that so and so had lost this and that.

Success Is Assured. The announcement of the Georgia Poultry association that it would hold its show as usual this season and that the dates had been set for October 27 to November 2 created more than a ripple in the Southern poultry world. It created a genuine upheaval. With the show situation in Atlanta somewhat complicated and decidedly critical, the poultrymen not only of Georgia, but of the whole South were awaiting an announcement from the Georgia Poultry association with some thing more than ordinary interest. When It came, everybody sat up and took a lot of notice. It is a suggestive fact that the Geor gia Poultry association has been going steadily forward with its plans for the coming show ever since the eighth show ended last winter. This show was the victim of more assorted kinds of hard luck than any successful show over held in the South. The date was too late, the competition was keen, the weather was atrocious and. all in all, there was hard sledding. Despite all this, the show was put thiough. I hanks to efficient and eco nomical management and owing to the fine equipment owned by the associa tion and the intelligent direction of the men who have been giving poultry shows in the South for eight years, only a few dollars were lost, and these few were promptly put up by members of the association. Not a month after the show the Georgia Poultry association met. elect ed officers for the ensuing year and voted to have another show—but to have it on an earlier date than that of last winter. Since that time President Hastings. Secretary Harwell and the other offi cials have worked steadily. They hate used all of their very considerable in fluence on big exhibitors and they have secured in consequence the promise of entries that will raise the class of the coming show above anything the South has ever known. They have en gaged the Auditorium-Armory, which is the greatest building available for poultry exhibitions in the whole South. They have secured three men !•’. .1. Marshall, W. ('. Pierce and !•' H. Shell abarger as judges. And they have got in touch with the big breeders of the South. There is nothing else to it—this ninth annual show of the Georgia Poultry as. soeiation will be a hummer Every thing points in that direction. No especial effort will be made this year, just as none has ever been made In the past, to round up a big lot of birds, regardless of class The effort will be to make it a representative Southern show; and to make it what its name Implies: "The Great Central Show of the South.” Mr Busines Man <>r Woman: Aren't yon on a sharp lookout for competent help of all kinds'* You know that ft is good business policy to get live wires with you, Let us call your attention to the-“ Situ ations Wanted" columns of The Georgian Here Is where you have a chance to select the best help that can be had on the mar ket Those people that advertise can : furnish yon the best of references So, from now on read the "Situation Wanted" columns of The Georgia and get the help that will be of the most service to you Horses and Carriages FOR SALE -Combination saddle and bug g.x horse, fine and stvllsh: price cheap If lakon at once Write Box 211, t'orne- I'c J CI 9 14 FOR BALK Texas sa.ldle pony; hand some bat. gentle Splendid gait very tmng lor boy or girl A.
