White and Buff are die most popular, the others being raised only in limited num bers. There is but little difference in the qualities of the differ ent? varieties. the principal difference being in the color suited to their fancy.

SA 1 I IW.\ ) . ()( roiSEK ’". l'»u. ;~ I I Feed For Fanciers An overfed hen is stupid, lazy and unprofitable. The eager, active, hungry . hen is the profit maker. There is an' o-M adage that '’like draws to likfefi ar.ft ih.i: the antithesis of this would probably he that unlike keeps as far away from unlike as it possibly can. Two birds of like desir able quairies. mated together, give their progeny a double tendency to de velop these qualities. The close observer in the poultry business is the man who makes it win. He keeps his mind busy looking ahead for breakers to avoid and smooth wa ters to enter. He is constantly on the alert for some better way, and while he may not make much fuss about it. he will be found pushing his business along and reaping substantial profits from his industry. In the poultry business I have found that it is crowded at the foot of the ladder, with very little standing room on the first few rungs. But the higher 1 ascend the less the, crowd and the mote comfortable I am. I have plenty of elbow room. But it has taken push and energy, plenty of hard work and attention to the little details which are ’ the keynotes to success in the poultry business, as in everything else. • Can you go among your flock of.hens , and. pick out the ones that are the i best layers? It pays mighty well to be able to do this. Trap-nests are not always necessary. Sometimes only a careful observation and personal ac- 1 quaintance is gll that is necessary. The j matter of knowing which are the prof itable and which are the unprofitable ■ hens Is really much more important than the majority of people .think. At one time there was a strong prej udice against incubators in the minds of many on the ground that thicks 1 were less hardy and vigorous than ! when hatched under the hen. But that idea is fast dying out. If there Is any difference. It is in favor of the incu bator. I have never had a lousy chick that was hatched and reared by ma chinery. Os course. I always keep the machines and brooders’perfectly clean, i Hens are easily kept If their food rations are suitable. Heed as well as breed counts, and counts big, too.

(’. 0. Harwell, of 113 North Pryor street, will be glad to furnish copies to all who are interested. The show will be held the week of October 28-Xovember 2. It promises to be the best ever given in Atlanta. The ear liness of the date will especially appeal to the fanciers and breeders who want to mate up their birds and get down to the year's business early in December. Four high-class judges have been engaged to place the awards. They are F. J. Marshall, of College Park; W. C. Piece, of Carmel Ind.; F. 11. Shellabarger, of West Liberty, lowa, and Alf Bertling, of Chamblee. The prize money and entry fees remain the same as last year- the standard as adopted by the Madison Square Garden show. few drops of aconite in the drinking water will very much assist. Heeding fowls does not consist in throwing out to them a certain quantity of feed one, two or thre times a day. It requires Judgment to properly feed fowls. They will not require the same quantity every time, nor the same kind of feed This is a matter that can be studied with profit. Poultry will not thrive in an illy ventilated house, but ventilation is not everything. Sufficient attention is not given to light. A dark roosting place never smells sweet, however well ven tilated it may appear. Light is as nec essary as anything else to a hen house. ■in i 1.. H . Poultry—Miscellaneous.
