The Georgian’s Poultry and Live Stock Page . Edited by Jodge F. X MARSHALL IOPHISSHOW K SPLENDID SDGCESS J Rhode Island Reds Formed the Largest Class—High Qual ity in All Breeds. By F. J. MARSHALL. fl MEMPHIS. TENN.. Sept. 28.—The fl poultry show at the Tri-State fair this fl nP .*k opened under the most favorable fl conditions. The weather was ideal. I While the management had their hands fl full in looking after and placing the S large exhibit, .vet owning to their ex fl pcri'ii'-e in the matter everything went fl along like clockwork. fl The association owns its own coops fl of a uniform type, which are left placed fl in the poultry building from year t • fl j ea r which of course saves them the fl great work and worry of tearing down fl and replacing each year. fl The exhibit -was large and varied, fl Tie s. C. Rhode Island class was tin; fl largest witlt 175 birds entered. This fl class was certainly one of quality in fl all parts of ft and showed up a little fl unusual from the point of containing so fl many out male birds, and of great qual fl tty, too. There were something like fl 6o pullets on exhibition with many of fl them good enough to make the old fl breeders’ eyes water to look them over. ■ The cockerels, were good, but appar fl entiy not so well developed. The pens, fl ten in number, were all good, but not fl as uniform in color as one would like fl tn see after second pen was passed. Great Red Class. ■ Ail in a!!, they were a great lot of fl Reds and such as were worth going fl many miles to see, and such as can fl only be found in the great Red section fl of the South, becoming more and more fl noted each year for its famous fowls. ■ The Barred Rock class was another fl large and splendid class, one breeder ■ having 40 entries on exhibition. While ■ the single entries were fine it seemed ■ to us that the pens contained the most ■ quality. It looked good to see these ■ old veterans, the Barred Rocks, wheel- B Ing into line again. It seems that they B are coming into their own again after a B little lapse while some of the newer B farts were taking a turn at the wheel. B The 3. White Leghorns, as al- B ways in this country, was a large and ■ important class, with about 100 in the B single classes and thirteen pens, which ■ made a most excellent showing.

The blood of poultry is five degrees warmer than that of human beings. This is the reason that birds of all kinds consume more feed according to weight than do human beings or the brute creation. They need more fuel to keep up the heat. When allowed to sleep out of doors the call for fuel is still greater, so housing comfortably is good econ omy. Remember, it is not the breed, but the breeder that must bring success. There is no guesswork, no happy-go lucky methods with the successful breeder, no trying this plan this year and another next, but always work on the same line, and the result is most satisfactory. The man who thinks, then works on that thought, generally succeeds: while the man who depends entirely upon his hands more often makes a failure. Poultrynn n who are undecided whether or not to buy a green bone cutter should bear in mind that a good cutter will pay for itself in increased egg production in a single season. This is not an idle dream, but an actual fact. Besides the increase in egg pro duction. the feeding of green bone adds variety to the ration, promotes vitality ami growth and is withal cheap but valuable food. Every poultryman should own a good bone cutter. Nothing pays better for the money invested than chickens, if they are properly handled: but to be profitable, much care must be exercised. Because the hens will give returns under ad verse circumstances is the reason they are neglected so much, but the better they are treated the better the returns you will receive from them. Arrange for a supply of second growth clover. Be sure it is nicely cured and put it away in gunny sacks for use next winter. Aside from al falfa. there is nothing equal to good clover hay as a "green” food for poul try in the winter. It contains a large percentage of lime and adds bulk to the winter mash. Be sure to lay in a sup ply. There is no better time than the present to buy foundation stock for next season's breeding pens. Good breeding birds can be secured now for one-half of what it will take to get them early next spring, and in some cases much less than half. Breeders need the room for their growing stock and ar willing to sacrifice their old birds oftentimes. We would advise those who are going to need new blood next spring to get ft now. More liens suffer from lack of grit than from almost any other cause. There are large sections of the country where no grit can be found. In these sections it should be furnished. Keep the laying hens busy in scratching a good part of the day, and they will eat more and lay more, f-'eed them plenty of ground green bone. pul. verized shells, grit and green things. All of these, including scraps of meat, contain the elements needed by the laying hens. Most of the failures in Hying to op erate poultry far .? have been brought about by trying t<_ keep too many fowls at first. Begin on a small scale and work up to your limit. You may be s trpfised to find Low few you can keep at a profit, and you may find that you were born to be a poultryman. Trying it is the only way to get at the truth. Tin dty feeding system is meeting with increasing favor. Breeders who have tried one season of it claim that the egg production is increased, and they have more uniform growth with the young stock The feed boxes are kept fi led with a variety of grains, the grit box is full, and also a box of char coa'.

Manager of Southland Poultry Farms Has Been Raising Fancy Fowls 20 Years. There is no fad that will take a firm grip on a man or woman more quickly than fancy poultry. There is none that will better repay the time and money expended on it. That these statements are true is well evidenced by the experience of O. A. Muse. Mr. Muse is al present the manager of the Southland Poultry Farms, at Clarkston, Ga., and there isn’t a better equipped, better stocked and more prosperous looking plant in Dixie. The rule of absolute cleanliness and perfect health are so well enforced here that to the casual onlooker poultry rearing would look to be a dream of indolent profit-taking. Os course, it isn't that, but the strict rule of cleanliness and health that Mr. Muse applies makes poultry breeding profitable, even if it does call for a lot of hard work. Twenty years ago this fall Mr. Muse was waiking down Pryor street one day. His attention was attracted by a poultry show—one of the first, by the way. ever held in Atlanta. He dropped in. casually, just to see what there was about a chicken that justified holding an exhibition. He came out with a severe case of “chicken fever” and he has never got well to this good day. Mr. Muse started out with White Cochins, Silver Wyandottes and Brown Leghorns, strictly fancier’s fowls, all of them. He bred them well, in spite of the difficulties that beset him and have beset all who have dallied with such pains-requiring chickens, until ten years ago. when he saw his first pen of Buff Orpingtons at an Atlanta show. The Buff Orpington of that day was a crude fowl as compared with the beautiful fowl it is now. but Mr. Muse was taken with it from first sight and it has been his hobby ever since. He has raised thousands'of them and has won hundreds of ribbons at state and Southern shows. A year ago he transferred his own flock to the Southland Poultry Fanns, strengthened it with some judicious purchases, and added splendid stock in Whites and Blacks. The Southland farms made a fine record in the two Atlanta shows last winter. The pen of Buff Orpingtons which won a blue in both shows was one of the finest of its kind ever seen in the South. Mr. Muse has on range at Clarkston now more than 1.000 young birds— healthy, vigorous and well bred. Everlasting cleanliness is the main slogan of the farm. It means success with chickens. COLUMBUS EXPECTING MORE THAN 1.500 BIRDS < OLI’MBUS. GA., Sept. 28.—The Co lumbus Poultry association, which will give its show this year in connection with the Georgia-Alabama fair, No vember 27 to December 7. announces that it will have 6,000 feet of floor space at the fair for its own exhibits More than 1,500 birds v. ill be shown, some of which will be from Alabama. Tennessee, South and North Carolina. These will be in addition to the large number of handsome, prize winning birds from this state. The prize lists for the poultry department are lining Issued now. Beware of New Wheat. He .aleful how you feed new wlieaA. to your fowls. If you do not feed it wltii exceeding great . are you will find that It will give them a looseness of the bowels that will put a sprag in the wheels of your egg train. I would insist • n old wheat m buying grain of that kind for the fowls. Every poultry keeper ought to make a special study of the best down-to-date findings as to balanced rations for fall and winter feeding. The investigations should be as exhaustive as possible. The value of high authorities ought to be m agnized in this matter See Nat Goodwin in Oliver Twist at the Forsyth. Ration For Layers A question which has been frequently asked in the Institutes I have attended is, What is a good ration for a laying hen ? That question answers itself, if you give it a thought. We will ask our selves this question—What is an egg composed of? Seventy-four per cent of the egg is water. Now. how necessary it is that a hen should have water every hour of the day—nice, clean water. Because it is impossible for a hen to lay many eggs without water. When the housewife opens an egg in a saucer and examines it. and the egg Is not so nice as she would like to see it. the white of the egg is watery and the yolk is pale, she thinks the hen is sick, but that is not so. When the white of an egg is watery, it shows that we are not feeding a good, well balanced ration. The lack of pro tein in feeding causes it. Fourteen and a half per cent of the egg is protein. That is the white of the egg. We must find a ration rich in protein. That we can do by feeding plenty of clover and wheat bran and wheat mid dlings. What is the result? The white of the egg Is thick and attractive. Ten and a half per cent of the egg Is fat: that Is the yellow. If the yellow Is pale we can color it by feeding. If you feed too much buckwheat the yellow of the egg wilt be pale. We feed yellow corn and wheat, two glu tens, and in that way give a beautiful hue to the yellow. We also feed quite a good deal of corn, to produce fat. How often do we pick up an egg in the. winter with a shell so brittle that It won’t stand shipping! Sometimes you find an egg with nothing but tissue—no shell at all. What is the matter wVh that hen? The shell is composed of lime and It Is great drain upon the hen's system, to produce the shell. They must have lime enough to cover the egg with a shell. Clover is rich In protein and is rich in lime. but. In addition to this, we slack a little lime and put It Into the si I box, and the hens will go there if they require ft: and you will be surprised. If you try it. at the difference in the re sults. What Is the result of this kind of food .' 5\ e will break an egg 1n a saucer and see. The white of the egg Is thick, heavy; it Is attractive, nutrl tlouß; the yellow of the egg is the golden hue that’ was desired, and the shell is firm and strong and will stand shipment. There is the perfect egg, just brought about by thinking the matter over carefully, and feeding in telligently. How to eGt Rid of Chicken Flea In answer to one of our readers, ears The Progressive Farmer. Professor R. I. Smith, of the North Carolina Agricul tural Experiment station, wrote as fol lows : "1 received the bottle containing chicken fleas. This is the common name, and the flea is known to occur on various animals as you have ob served. "The young stage of the fleas is a worm that lives in dust or filth in eracks in the chicken houses, barns etc. For this reason the best method of fighting them is to thoroughly clean out nil houses in which they occur, and treat all the floors with kerosene or gasoline, or with boiling hot water if you can use it more conveniently. The ewe of carbolated vaseline is said to be a good treatment for the infested chirk-ns. ami should be equally effec tive on other animals, it act# as a re pellent and as a good Healing ointment. ' You must remember that when fleas once get a foothold in buildings it is not an easy matte) to exterminate them, and unless you clean up thor oughly and repeatedly, the treatment of the animals themselves will be of ques tionable value. The use of fine tobacco dust, snuff or insect powder dusted in the feathers of infested chickens or on cats and dogs will ait a- a repellent." tr» "ou '-earthing fora position? Then an ad m the "Situationu Manto>; col umns of The Georgian will aMlst :ou greatly Get Rid of Culls Get rid of your “culls" just as soon as possible after they are ready for market. This Is an important matter that is sometimes overlooked by breed ers. Especially is this important where space is limited. “Culls” are a hindrance to the grow th and development of the balance of the flock, for several reasons. Neither growing chicks nor the old fowls do well in overcrowded quarters, and are liable to contract disease and be come lousy. Besides, the breeder is en abled to give better care to the bal ance of the floek after the culls are out of the way. > Cull closely, disposing of all speci mens that show any permanent defect, such as wry tails, crooked breastbone, roach back, twisted back, feathers on legs or toes in American. Spanish ano other clean-legged breeds, and lack of feathers on legs and toes in the Asiat ic breeds, or any serious defect in comb, wattles or earlobes. In fact, get rid of all birds having any defect that you know can not be outgrow n. If raising market poultry ,of course these defects cut no figure, but even In this branch of the business careful culling is desirable and profita ble, as the flocks should be weeded out and the non-productive birds discarded. Evict Late Molters, The hen that does not molt until in the winter and takes all winter is one there is little profit in keeping. They will not usually lay until spring, but thev eat feed just the same. Sell off those that did not molt in the fall or at least be feathering up before winter .starts. The early molting hen is the one to choose. Sometimes a hen does not molt until winter, but keeps right on laying all through the fall. Such hens should lie let lay as long as they will, ax eggs usually bring a good price late in the fall. Then when they stop laying sell them. Miscellaneous Poultry.
