MADISON SQUARE POULTRY SHOW. 
T HE twenty-sixth annual exhibition of 
the New York Poultry and Pigeon 
Association, which was held at Mad¬ 
ison Square Garden Feb. 12 to 17, goes 
down in bistory as having the largest at¬ 
tendance on record, which was very grat¬ 
ifying to both officers and exhibitors, as 
this fact proves the growing interest in 
all lines of poultry work from the keeping 
of a few birds or ornamental fowls in a 
back lot to the large commercial poultry 
farm, where thousands of chickens and 
millions of eggs are produced and mar¬ 
keted every year. Upon entering the 
Garden the first impression is the size and 
beauty of the exhibition as a whole, as 
the entire building, including galleries, 
was filled with choice specimens of prac¬ 
tically every known variety of chickens, 
ducks, geese, turkeys and pigeons, to¬ 
gether with many rare and beautiful wild 
birds and water fowl. This included 
nearly every variety of pheasants, quails, 
swans, cranes, pea fowl, ostrich and cage 
birds, all nicely arranged in display cages 
with a huge water tank in the center, 
where the water fowl enjoy themselves in 
endless confusion, to the evident delight 
of the throngs of visitors. 
The exhibits came from 2G States and 
two Provinces in Canada, which show’s 
the widespread interest which was taken 
in the round-up show of the season. The 
quality of the birds as a whole was very 
good from a fancier’s standpoint, but in 
many cases not quite up to former years, 
probably owing to the unfavorable season 
last year. One of the surprises of the 
show’ was the large entry of Light Brah¬ 
mas, numbering about 200 birds, and ex¬ 
ceeding all other classes. For many years 
this grand fowl has stood at the head of 
the list of all purebred poultry, but dur¬ 
ing recent years the interest in them has 
been somewhat lacking. That they are 
coming back, however, is very evident 
from the grand display of the garden. 
The utility varieties of the American, 
Mediterranean and English classes were 
out in full force, the Barred Rocks, S. C. 
White Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds 
appearing in the larger numbers. The 
size of the Leghorns show r n, especially the 
pullets, was considerable under the re¬ 
quirements of the new Standard of Per¬ 
fection, which will be the guide for judges 
next season. The American Poultry As¬ 
sociation has seen the necessity of increas¬ 
ing the size of these birds which it is 
hoped will have a beneficial effect upon 
their productiveness and thrift 
While high prices are asked and some¬ 
times received for prize winners the rank 
and file of the people who keep poultry 
in small or large numbers do so for the 
production of eggs and meat. The great 
interest in this branch of the business w r as 
manifested by the large crowds w’ho gath¬ 
ered in the concert hall to hear the illus¬ 
trated lectures on all branches of prac¬ 
tical poultry keeping, given each after¬ 
noon and evening by the extension staff of 
Cornell University, Rutgers College and 
Storrs, Conn. Moving pictures were 
showui of the U. S. Government poultry 
farm which proved both interesting and 
instructive. Around the concert hall 
were arranged the educational exhibits of 
the State Colleges of New York, New 
Jersey and Connecticut, which were very 
interesting and instructive to the thou¬ 
sands of visitors. 
A pleasing feature of the show was the 
marked catalogue which was published 
the second day, giving in the index the 
name and address of each exhibitor, to¬ 
gether with the name of the variety 
showm. Several displays of utility fowls 
were shown by various Eastern farms, 
and all reported doing a good business in 
eggs for hatching and baby chicks. It is 
confidently predicted that wfith the closing 
of the great Madison Square show a suc¬ 
cessful hatching and brooding season will 
follow. C. S. GREENE.

Chicken Oil for Eye Trouble. 
I DO not know’ how w’ell known is the 
remedy of which I am going to tell 
you, but I do know its good qualities, 
so am of the opinion that it cannot be¬ 
come too well know’n. We had a family 
horse over whose eyes a white film w’as 
growing so she w r as entirely blind in one 
eye and rapidly becoming blind in the 
other. An old farmer told us to put 
chicken oil (made by rendering the fat) 
in her eyes, w’hich w 7 e did, with the result 
that after two or three applications the 
film came off and she could see as well 
as ever. H. H. T. 
Ohio. 
There is no film over the eyes in such 
cases of periodic ophthalmia (moon 
blindness), but there is a collection of 
cloudy substance in the aqueous humor 
of the cornea or anterior chamber of the 
eye and this generally clears up after a 
time until blindness is complete from 
cataract. Remedies, simple or scientific, 
often get the credit for curing such a 
condition, but the clearing up is inci¬ 
dental, and the disease attacks repeatedly 
until blindness is complete. Chicken oil 
is an old-fashioned remedy, as is sugar, 
alum or salt water in such cases.
