The Georgian Company, 20 E. Alabama St., Atlanta, Ga.
There will be some big time in At
lanta when the gates are opened on Oc
tober 14 for the big Southeastern Show.
There will be everything in the animal
line, and about every known variety of
poultry, pigeons, and pet stock.
But one of the warmest places in the
big show will be the pigeon alley. Sev
eral royal battles will be pulled off
there and perhaps the hottest will be
Carneaux, White Fans, utility breeders,
English Pouters.
In Red Carneaux, the Columbus boys,
the gamest bunch of thoroughbreds that
tver threw a hat in the ring, say they
are going to get at least three of the
four blues. There will iikely be thirty
entries in the young class—and the
blues for best 1916 red cock and best
1616 red hen are what they all want.
This class will be strong, and N. K.
Bowden, George Offleck, Billy Bilford,
Henry Sheridan, Joe Gatewood, A. M.
Forbes and perhdps several others will
be among those present to take these
blues back to Columbus. G, W. Milli
gan, of Moultrie, will be there also with
youngsters that should be in at the
finish. Atlanta boys will have their
birds also groomed for the occasion, and
they will likely be heard from. Two ol’!
the largest breeders of Carneaux in At
lanta are eliminated from competition
by reason of their connection with the
show. ‘
In White Fans, Dr. B. S. Bomar, of
Atlanta, Milford Bros., Henry Sheridan
and M. J. Gatewood, of Columbus,
George Milligan, of Moultrie, and Marion
Mills, of Atlanta, will contend for hon
ors.
English Pouters will be largely repre
sented by Harry “Kilpatric‘l_{_and_._ly‘[arion
Mills, of Atlanta; Milligan, of Mouitrie,
and Milford, of Columbus,
The utility pens—three pairs of any
utility breeders in a pen—will be hotly
contested for. In this clas you can
show Runts, Carneaux, Mondaines,
Maltese, White Kings, riomers or any
other squab breeders. There is a $lO
gold piece hanging on the utility tree,
and the best pen will get the coin.
White Kings will also be well repre
sented, and the Sterling Lofts, S. C.
Jenkins, owner, of Columbus, and Dr.
C. 8. Burden, of Hogansville, will be the
biggest exhibitors, although there wiil be
several other entries from good breed
ers.
Judge E. J. W. Dietz, of Chicago, edi
tor of Pigeons and Pigeon Flying, will
place the awards. Mr. Dietz is a judge
of wide experience, and has successful
ly handled several of the big Western
shows The judging will be done Tues
day and Wednesday and an effort will
be made to have Mr. Dietz spend the
week at the show.
No don't wait until the last min
ute to get in your entries. This will be
something big, and it is the intention
of the fair officers to avoid any mix-ur.
Help out the good work by your early
entries.
How to Make Entries.
The filling out the entry blanks for
the Southeastern Fair is giving the boys
a little trouble. I
The blank seems to be confusing be
cause onc side is for live stock-—horses, |
COws, hggs, ete., while the other side is
for poultry, pigeons, ete. \
Get out your blang( and read it care- |
fully and the poultry, pigeon, pet stock
exhibitors will fill out as follows: |
Under Department Letter, you will
write “F.” ‘
The Barred Plymouth exhibitor would
put under the column “Lot N 0.,” 482
‘for old cock; 483 for old hen; 484 for
cockerel; 485 for pullet and 486 for pen.
Under column *“Class or Ring N 0.,” he
will put the number of the band worn |
by the bird. I
Each breed of poultry, geese, ducks,
etc.,, is entered the same way.
The pigeon man will fill out his blank
as follows:
Under first column, “Department Let
ter,” he will write o ‘
The exhibitor of Red Carneaux will
write 663 for old cock under the col
umn “Lot No.;” 664 for old red hen; 665
for red younfi bird; under ‘Class or
Ringb No.” column, he will write the
gumd er of the seamless band or mating
and.
The White German Runt exhibitor
will write “F"” under Department Let
ter;” under column ‘Lot Ne.,” write
792 for old cock; 793 for old I'uen; 794
for youn(l bird. Under column *“/Class
or Ring N 0.,”” he will write the seam
less band or mating band number.
In “Entry No.” column you write
nothing, the secretary fiIIInF this out.
Under column, *“Deseription of Arti
cle,”” you will write Barred Plymouth
Rocks, or.the name of the breed you are
exhibiting. If you are a pigeon man,
you will write under this column Red
Carneaux, or the name of the breed you
are exhibiting.
If you need blanks, write to R, M.
Striplin, Manager Southeastern Falir
Association, Atlanta, Ga.
WHAT HENS LIKE,
Perhaps the best way to find out
what hens like is to ask the hens. At
least that was the plan followed by the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment Sia
tion in recent tests in which weighed
amouzts of various feeds were placed
beforé the hens and what they left of
each kind of feed was wel“hed back, so
it was possible to tell what Ifinds of
feed they had eaten and what t had
passed by. At the‘fam. time a cagreful
record was kept of'the number of S
laild by each hen and her changes
welght,
The test seems to show that the hen
knows better than many fieople how to
select the food that will el? her most
in laying eggs and keeg her in the best
condition. Some old ideas with regard
to poultry feeding were proved sound
and some others were discredited by the
hens. They almost all showed a decided
preference for wheat which is very gen
erally used as a poultry feed. Kaffir
stood next in popularity, followed by
corn and corn meal, but oats and sun
flowers were not eaten as much as many
geople would have expected, probably
ecause the hen is not able to digest
much food contalnln% a high percent
age of crude fiber. ‘The hens that did
eat sunbower seed were seen cracking
them and eating only the softer por
tions inside, possibly because they want
ed 110 get rid of the crude fiber in the
shell.
Bran is often used in poultry feeding,
but the hens in this test which could
get other feed almost always chose it
instead of bran. Alfalfa leaves were

‘tried, but not eaten to any great ex.

Animal food of some kind, such 43 tha
beef scrap or sour milk: is generally
regarded as very necessary for laying
hens, but most of the hens in this test
did not eat much more beef scrap while
laying than while not laying. Two ac.
tually ate more of it when they were
not laying.
Other tests at the Missouri Statio,
have shown that the use of either beet
scrap or sour milk makes the hen's egg

A TEN-DOLLAR MALE B RD.
By W. C. THOMPSON
Standard-bred poultry should be one
of the most familiar terms used hy ev
ery farmer and poultry raiser in this
country. It should not be pictured im
possible except for the old fanciers in
the chicken raising game; it should be
made a sure, actual thing wherever
chickens are being raised. Pure, stand
ard-bred birds are birds that have heen
Iprnduced by careful breeding toward a
definite standard year after year. This
has taken much painstaking effort on
the part of many breeders of poultry
The average poultry.raiser can take ad
vantage of this and start at once with
such birds. Of course, good birds, the
result of such constant striving, are
higher priced, but that is just their
greatest advantage. The purchase of a
goood breeding male to mate with the
hens in the breeding flocks from which
hatching eggs are to be saved in the
winter and sprlnfi is one of the hest
and most economical ways of building
| up the poultry flocks into money-mak
ling, profit-producing parts of the farm
If one is to pay ten dollars for a
breeding male, what should be expected
In return for such an outlay on one
| bird? For every dollar he gains som¢
thine, he gains a point, and gets a step
farther toward establishing a realls
economical, paying flock of egg-produc
ing fowls,
Dollar No. I—Standard-bred fowls
have been bred for generations toward
the same ideal. There is no guess work
as to what color the chicks are going to
be. as to what color the eggs produced
by the pullets will be, as to the color of
the skin, and as to the shape, size, an
color of the bird. Mongrels do not
breed true to color or shape in any re
speet except by chance. You can de
rend on the next year’s flock of chicks
being of certain kind. One can plan
ahead and be sure of the quality of
his products. The market knows the
difference.
Dollar No. 2—Standard-bred fow!s
produce uniform products. The pers
who buyvs the eggs each week prefers
to have them all of the same color, siz
and shape. In getting the most out of
marketing poultry products it is becom
ing more and more essential to have
uniform grades of products. The piire
‘bred birds produce uniform products
Dollar No. 3—Standard-bred fow!s
make the finest quality of table birds
because this characteristic of flesh pre
duction has been kept in mind by th
breeders, There is more and better
meat on such birds,
Dollar No. 4—SBtandard-hred fowls la
more eggs. The standard toward whic!
rds are bred includes those character
istics that nalurally tend to increase eg:
production. High producers tend to pre
dnece chicks into high producers, Tt has
been found that the male bird that i~
the son of a high-prodncing hen b«
comes the father of high-producing
hens. This is the most important do!
lar, the male bird can produce high ec:
vielders, if his mother was a heavy eg:
