GUILDFORD POULTRY SHOW. 



There is certainly an awakening in the south and south-west on 

 the subject of poultry and poultry shows. Reading, Southampton, 

 Shoreham, and Brighton have all had their meetings, and now Guild- 

 ford has added poultry toiler agricultural display previous to Christmas. 

 Surrey has always been famous for its fowls. It had so far the mono- 

 poly at one time that the distinction still survives in Leadeuhall 

 Market, and all fowls are classed as Surrey or Rough, the former 

 representing the choicest. We look on such an alliance as this as 

 perfectly natural and in place. It is a question whether some com- 

 petent person should not draw up a list tit for an agricultural show, 

 and, eschewing classes that are supported by those chiefly who love 

 beautiful plumage, offer prizes for the ordinary denizens of every 

 farmyard — thus, fowls, Dorkings, Cochins, Brahmas, and nondescripts ; 

 Ducks, Geese, and Turkeys. IVe use the term nondescript advisedly ; 

 it would tinker facility for the exhibition of farmyard or barndoor fowls. 

 At present the term barndoor fowl represents small shabby buds with 

 legs of every colour, bred without care, and thriving in spite of every 

 disadvantage, hut their consumption would beep a better bird ; and if 

 a fowl pretending to no breed, but weighing in good raising condition 

 4 or 5 lbs., with good white legs and full breast, can be produced, and 

 its merits as to constitution and fertility be endorsed by experience, 

 we should he glad to see such distinguish) d m competition. A number 

 of such shows as these would be the feeders of the larger one6 ; and 

 as the fowls for competition are to be found on every farm there 

 would he no lack of entries. Defeat and success would do their work, 

 and the end and aim of such societies would he accomplished, because 

 the properties of breeds would be developed; and it would become 

 plain, that if with the same amount of food and no more painstaking 

 one breed produces four pounds of meat while another produces only 

 two, the former must he the better. The principal classes at this Show 

 have suggested the ideas we have mentioned. Dorkings, Geese, Ducks, 

 and Turkeys were all excellent in quality— good enough for auy show. 

 The Dorking prizes went in order to Messrs. John Ellis, W. Willis, 

 and Edward Holder. The chickens were better than the adults. 

 Three excellent pens went first and second to Mr. J. C. Ramsden, 

 third to Mr. John Ellis. Two extra prizes for the best pens shown 

 were worthily earned by Messrs. Ramsden and Ellis. Game and all 

 belonging to them seem to belong to certain districts. Worcestershire. 

 Warwickshire, Cheshire, and Lancashire intuitively know all that 

 belongs to them. They make no mistakes in penning ; but in Surrey 

 Game seems to be Game, and Black Red cocks are shown with Duck- 

 winged hens, and vice rersa. Hence the first prize was withheld, and 

 the second, given to Mr. Wells, left much to desire in the way of 

 dubbing.
