A j Webb, Adel, Ga It I- 4 * 4 * W 1 Fancers, knowing b.ow difficult it is to secure absolute white •ss in an Orpington male, marveled at the color of this male which headed the first pen exhibited by Owen Farms, of Vineyard Haven, Mass. He won a special as the whitest bird in the show. , Some Impressions of the Great Georgia Poultry Show By JUDGE F. J. MARSHALL. W. G. Archer’s first pen of Buff Rocks was wonderfully uniform in color and shading, a quality hard to get in buff. The type was good, too. The second prize pen of White Rocks, ' owned by Paul Wright, city, contained a cock of remarkable type and breeding, as well as show qualities. He would have 1 made a hit in the singles. The first prize Barred Rock cock, owned by the Atlanta Poultry Yards, is a wonder, such as one does not see in years of Judging, with that clean, clear-cut sharp barring so hard to get as every ! Rock breeder well knows. Such a bird is I almost worth his weight in gold. In the third prize pen of Black Orping tons of E. L. Sutton, Clarkston, is a hen that stands out as one of rare merit. She has that broad, heavy type of body, with the bottle green plumage shining like so much glass. The cockerel heading the pen of Black Orpingtons, owned by Southland Poultry Yards, Clarkston, Ga., Is only seven months old, but shows great possibilities. The tail is not out in full, but with that developed and the broader body of more age will make a bird to be heard from. The first prize Brown Leghorn pen of H. T. Boyd, of Sweetwater, Tenn., win ning sweepstakes of the show, deserves more than a passing notice. The hens are uniform in coloring of back and wings, being that soft willowy brown so hard to secure. The cockerel is tine in style and snappy and bright in the black strlpings of neck and saddle. The Red Pyle Bantam cock, owned by The Bantamry, city, is one of the best stationed birds I have ever handled. He has that low tarried whip tall, long shanks and clean snaky head. Watch the game fanciers look at him. Atlanta Poultry Yards, in their Honda n exhibit, are showing two of the best hens Hogs. FOR SALE- Eighteen Berkshire shoata, $5 each. .1 l‘.
