226 POULTRY BREEDING 
Weight (in some breeds Size), Head, Comb, Wattles and 
Ear Lobes, Neck, Back, Breast, Body and Fluff, Wings, 
Tail, Legs and Toes. 
In most of the breeds many of the sections are valued 
both for color and shape. We will say, for instance, that 
we have a breed called North Americans—as the copy- 
right on the standard prevents us from using a real 
breed—and that we want to make a scale of points for it. 
We proceed as follows:

“100 
The judge examines the bird section by section, re- 
membering what the standard requires in each section of 
the breed and for all defects he finds in shape or colo: in 
any section he sets down the deficiency or “cuts” that 
section for the deficiency as much as he thinks it de- 
serves. When he has gone over the bird in this way he 
adds up the cuts he has made, subtracts this sum from 
100 and the remainder is the “score” of that bird. This 
is called “judging by the score card.” 
When a judge is judging by comparison he goes over 
the birds without setting down their defects and elim- 
inates from the competition all that are plainly not good
