CHAPTER XV. 



USING THE HOGAN TEST IN JUDGING POULTRY AT 

 THE POULTRY SHOWS. 



From the Live Stock Tribune, Los Angeles, California- 

 (Now Pacific Poultrycraft.) 



INGLEWOOD POULTRY SHOW. 



A poultry show will be held in the Inglewood Poultry 

 Colony on March 13th and 14th. This show will be the first 

 of its kind ever given in the United States. All poultry shows 

 that have been held in this country heretofore have awarded 

 prizes according to the color, markings, and shape of the 

 fowls only. The show at Inglewood will be unusual in that 

 prizes will be awarded irrespective of the color, variety, shape, 

 size or age of the fowls in competition. 



Birds in competition will be judged as to their egg-laying 

 capacity and reproductive ability only. The judging will be 

 done by the system discovered and perfected by Walter Hogan, 

 and now used in practical poultry raising by the members of 

 the Inglewood Poultry Colony. 



First, second, third, fourth and fifth prizes will be awarded 

 to the best males and females entered from Inglewood. First 

 prize being $5 cash, second prize being $3 cash, all winners 

 receiving ribbons. In addition to the foregoing will be the 

 Jaffa Grand Prize of $25 gold, which will be awarded to the 

 hen in the show which shows the greatest capacity as a layer 

 combined with the ability to reproduce her kind. 



Entries for the regular prizes will be limited to fowls from 

 Inglewood, but competition for the "Jaffa Grand Prize" will 

 be open to all comers. Entries from poultry raisers outside 

 of Inglewood will be limited to two birds each. No entry fee 

 will be charged, but all birds entered will be sent at the own- 

 er's risk as is usual at all shows. 



The birds entered will be cared for, and reshipped to the 

 owners by White Wyandotte Farm, under whose auspices the
