The man that mines poultry should have some way of distinguishing the products of the different years. Putting on metallic rings is one of the Lest nuthods. Thus, one year the rings ran be put on the right legs and the next year on the left legs. This need not be done till the fowls have just about reached maturity. There will he no danger of confounding the first and third years, for the third year birds will be disposed of generally by the time the fiist year birds are grown. Put if it be desired to keep birds for a number of years different colored rings may be used. Thus for two years use brass rings and for the next two yeara use steel rings. They may also differ in width. Again, one kind of r:ngs might be used on ail ages, but tiie year date? might be put on them.

The best time to sell is when vou have the article tha consumer requires, and at the present time the fat hen is in demand. Ex. A podUryimn suggests that dressed fowls should be a part of every poultry show, to instruct the producers in. the methods of putting their birds on tha market in the hist possible form. Tha suggestion is worthy of consideration by the managers of our poultry shows.
