POULTRY CONVENTION, 
To Fix a .11 American Standard ot Excel¬

[Continued from pinto 232, last No.J 
Appointment of .Indite*. 
Mr. Pond— There is one question I want¬ 
ed called up to-day, from the fact that I 
shall not be here to-morrow ; and it is of a 
good deal of importance, although not, per¬ 
haps, pertinent to the business now before 
us, and that is—the appointment of judges. I 
wanted to offer a resolution that we recom¬ 
mend to the societies which we severally 
represent—we represent the three societies 
in the United Stales- 
Mr. Halstead — I think we represent 
more than that. 
Mr. Pond—T hat ive recommend to all the 
poultry societies of the Uliiled States that in 
the selection of judges no person shall he 
considered disqualified to act in any class 
for which lie may have been selected, on ac¬ 
count of there being on exhibition in that 
class fowls which he has himself sold, or 
which have been raised from eggs which ho 
lias sold. Because there happen to he on 
exhibition fowls sold by n man, or raised 
from eggs which he has sold to somebody— 
for a society to say to that man, “ You shall 
not act as a judge here,” I say is all humbug 
and all wrong. 1 say the man is perfectly 
qualified to act, and be is the very man to 
act. The very point which is made a dis* 
qualification is in his favor. And the reason 
wiiy we have had so much dissatisfaction 
wiili reports of judges has been because the 
very men w ho should have acted os judges 
have been ruled out on that ground. 
The President — 1 suppose that if any 
Society should invite Philander Williams, 
wlm sells a great many Brahmas, to act as a 
judge, his report Avould bo a. credit to this 
Society, even though lie had sold the eggs 
which produced the premium birds, or even 
the very birds themselves. 
Mr. W. H. Lockwood, (Hartford, Ct.)—I 
would like to suggest that such a resolution 
as that Should be so modified as to leave it 
to I lie decision of the gentleman himself; 
that is, that he should not he debarred from 
serving unless he has scruples himself, grow ¬ 
ing out of his connection with the birds on 
exhibition. The rule as it stands, does ho 
good whatever. Mr. Sheldon Stevens, 
Montreal, refused to sell $200 worth of fowls, 
because he had accepted an invitation toad 
as judge here; not because he thought ii 
Would influence him , for 1 do not think he 
would have impeached himself by admitting 
that lie would be biased by it, but because 
he felt that it would he a proper thing for 
him to do, that nobody might he able to say 
lie was biased. 
Mr. Pond —A great many men will refuse 
to act as judges, for no other reason than on 
account of this rule of the Society. The 
moment it is understood that a man is to be 
a judge, parlies who desire to purchase stock 
or eggs of him, will refuse to lake them. 
By (lie instructions of our Commit lee, 1 
w rote to Mr. Huntington to act for us as 
judge on Games; ami Mr. Huntington 
wrote back to me that he would lie most 
. 
happy to do so, blit he could not conscien¬ 
tiously do so, because he knew some of his 
stock was to be there. Bo he declined. Now 
] want that we should recommend that it ( 
should not he considered a disqualification ^ 
for any gentleman to act as judge, because 
there is to be exhibited, in the class he is in- ^ 
A ited to act upon, stock which he sold, or 
Slock raised from eggs which he sold. I ( 
would ask, is any man better qualified to act 
as a judge upon Short-Horns, than the man 
w ho lias himself been a breeder of Short- 
IIorns for years ? 
On motion, t tic Convention adjourned until c 
to-morrow, at 0 o’clock, A. M. 
SECOND DAY, Feb. 14, 1871. 
The Convention reassembled at 9 o’clock, 
A. M., and was called to order by the Presi¬ 
dent, Mr. S. J. Bestor. 
The tehnuntra Fowls, 
The President —The Sumatra fowls we 
passed over yesterday. It is necessary to 
provide for them a scale of points. Shall 
they he classified w ith the Asiatics? 
Mr. Halstead — I w'ould give them a clas¬ 
sification of their own. They should not go 
with Games, that is certain. 
Col. Weld— Where shall they go? Are 
they a breed that Ave ought to recognize 
here at all ? 
The President— There are those who 
breed them. I know of but one or two 
men that breed them with any claim to 
purity. They arc gradually wearing out. 
Mr. IIat.btead —What particular excel¬ 
lence is there in the bird ? 
nored, then. What is the style of the comb ? 
The President—A sort of pea comb. 
Mr. Halstead —Why not put them with 
: the Ilamburgs, then ? 
The President—T hey might be put with 
the Sultan class. 
Mr. Halstead —They might he put in 
with the Miscellaneous. 
The President —If there is no objection 
they will lie put with the Miscellaneous, 
j Col. Weld —What is the use of giving 
them a scale of points, any way? 
The President— 1 should be perfectly 
, willing to ignore them entirely. 
Col. Weld —We are not going to give a 
scale of points to Russian, Ajc., and they are 
not mongrels, but distinct breeds. 
Mr. Halstead— Let them go into the pre¬ 
mium list, but not into the Standard. 
The President— If this were an individ¬ 
ual mutter, I should say ignore them entire¬ 
ly ; but it. is not for me to dictate. 
Col. Weld— 1 move that we pass them 
over. 
The President— That will he under¬ 
stood, and they w ill he ignored without any 
motion. We can say that the Convention 
did not wisli to recognize them. 
Col. Weld —I should he willing to let it 
go as a regular motion, that avc pass over 
the Sumatra fowls. 
Mr. Halstead— I second it. 
Col. Weld —We do noL want to decide 
that they cannot come to anything. We 
want to let them he without deciding on 
them. Then our action will not interfere 
ivith the action of another Convention at 
another time. 
The President— It will he a good many 
years before we call this matter up again. 
Our action here will have a good deal of 
weight. You have seen how difficult it is 
to get a proper expression of our poultry 
affairs. Mr. Halstead, long ago, wanted 
the standard pul into shape; but I told him 
that wc American fanciers were not ripe 
enough to express ourselves more intelli¬ 
gently than our English neighbors; although 
it was apparent to me that there were gross 
errors in the English standard. 
Malay*. 
We now come to the Malays, for which we 
want a scale of points. 
Col Weld — We will take the English 
scale of points. 
Mr. Halstead— I believe it was under¬ 
stood last night that the Malays were to be 
classed with the Asiatics. 
The President — Mr. Bidell saj's he 
wants to objbet to the matter of the Georgi¬ 
ans. Although it lias been passed upon, I 
bring it to your notice. 
Col. Weld —Wo discussed that matter 
pretty well; and we came to the conclusion 
that we have as good a right to call them 
Georgians as to call another class Leghorns, 
distinct from the ordinary white Games. 
The President —They are distinct from ( 
the Champion. That is not a game bird, ( 
any more than the Sumatra, whereas the 
Georgians are game birds. ( 
Mr .1, Clarence Si dell —The name, is a ( 
mere arbitray thing. 
Col. Weld —They could not he sold as 1 
anything else than White Georgian Game , 
fowls. ( 
Mr. Sidei.l— They never had a recognized ^ 
status before, ( 
The President — We arc recognizing 
some things Ave never did before. Anything 
that is good, avc must recognize. We can’t 
tell Avliat the next ten years may produce in 
the way of new fowls. 
Mr. Lockwood— Let us have the points in i 
the Malay. i 
Mr. 11 vlstead— What is the use of giving a 
tile Malay any status at all ? i 
Mr. SlDELL —One Avoid. An individual s 
wrote to me from Canada for a description of I 
a Malay fowl, and I have not been able Lo ( 
give it to him. i 
Col. Weld —It is a foAvl bred in England, \ 
and A\ f e know nothing about it here. l 
Mr. Lockwood —I move that it be passed i! 
The President —Then it is very proper 
that you should look them over. 
Mr. Halstead—I will do so in a few mo¬ 
ments. 
Col. Weld —We arrange our system of 
numbers for the Brahmas, Cochins and 
Avliole Asiatic class, following the standard 
as closely as possible, but making them nil 
multiples of five. That gives us for the 
Partridge Cochin this scale: 
Partridge Cochin*.

WFAT AILS THE FOWLS. 
This question, so often asked, which, with¬ 
out a knowledge of the management and 
mode of keeping, would ho impossible to an¬ 
swer satisfactorily, as in most cases all reme¬ 
dies arc unavailing while the cause of the 
disease remains. I believe that ninety cases 
in one .hundred, if the laws of health are 
carefully studied, that we need fear no dis¬ 
ease in our poultry. Too many foAvls are 
often kept together, in ill-ventilated coops, 
and the droppings not removed daily. There 
are many rules to be observed in the man¬ 
agement of poultry, any one of which,If neg¬ 
lected, will produce disease in t lie fowls, and 
unprofitableness lo the breeder. A thorough¬ 
ly vent dated coop, dryness, a varied grain 
diet, fresh water, and regularity in feeding 
are the most essential rules to he observed.

once a week, supplying the fowls with fresh 
grass all winter. The following spring the 
soil is removed to the compost pile, which, 
Avhen mixed with one hundred pounds of 
Peruvian guano, or wood ashes, supplies my 
corn field with a most valuable fertilizer, 
nearly all the gravel having been consumed 
by the fowls. Few arc .ware of the large 
quantity ot gravel required during the Arbi¬

never used during the summer months. In 
feeding, I take my bucket of corn at day¬ 
light, feeding until the fowls are satisfied. 
One pint of oats is also fed to each coop for 
one week, following each Aveek with barley, 
Avlieat. and buckwheat. At noon they re¬ 
ceive their corn until satisfied ; at night, one 
quart of oats. <)ne pound of beef is allowed 
each coop twice a week; fresh water twice 
each day, and the droppings removed every 
morning. My favorite breed, as I have 
often stated, is the Light Brahma. When 
properly bred, in my opinion the}' have no 
equal.

about $2 for potash aud phosphates of lime

would he $3 for every $30 worth of hay 
sold off the farm. Thus it has shown that 
there avuh a great advantage to be derived 
from converting vegetable growth into ani¬ 
mal products before selling them, thereby 
retaining the means of keeping up the fer¬

DAIRYING IN KANSAS, 
In crossing the Continent last summer, 
we fell in with several aa* ell informed people 
from Kansas. They .represented that the 
land in some sections of ttic Stale Avas 
well adapted to dairying, and that a very 
good quality of milk is produced from the 
Avihl or native grasses of tiie country. 
We are in receipt of a small sample of 
cheese from Mr. E. Coon, Ruola, Kansas. 
It is well made, close in texture, very mealy

Iria'C half a dozen fine pullets of the Blue 
Game, ami a black cock. They have been, 
and are still, running at large over the yards, 
with various mongrel breeds—such as Brah¬ 
ma, Shanghai, Dominique, common fowls, 
&c. If I desire to separate these game pul¬ 
lets from the rest, and put the game cock 
av itli them, would it not he well to use the 
first few eggs iheylayin the family, and 
save the others for setting? How long would 
it be before they Avould be likely lo lay out 
all the eggs which were incubated by the 
mixed bloods? 1 desire to put six game 
hens and a game cock by themselves, in or¬ 
der to keep the breed pure. I will fence off 
a small grass plat, and make a small house 
for them, llow large should such a yard be 
for them to do Avell, and would it hurt them 
in the least if I were to clip off their wfings, 
to prevent them flying OA’«r the fence? It 
Avould cost too much to put. up a fence so 
high that they could not fly over it. The 
game chicken flies almost equal to the prairie 
chicken, and, to my mind, their meat is about 
equal to the pheasant or partridge—and far 
firmer, sweeter, and better every way, than
