Cla sk u cling 0 Inert t IA Licensed Judges for Poultry. It has been suggested that for poul- there should be judges the American Poultry The scheme may be a good one, but we would suggest that it would be better to have judges that have passed good examinations and been licensed by some of our agricultural colleges that make poultry culture a branch of instruction. We are strongly of the opinion that muck of the judging at poultry shows is of a very unscientific character. Certainly no one should be selected as a Judge who is not fully qualified and because a man has raised poultry all his life Is no reason why he should be selected as a Judge. He may have been following erroneous methods all his life. Of course, we recognize the tact that after a judge Is licensed there will be no way of compelling the managers of poultry shows to hire him for the work of judging. The moral effect, however, of having the license will be good, and we think the unlicensed judges would soon dis- t appear. Cool Market Poultry. When large quantities of dressed poultry are to be shipped to distant markets thorough cooling should take place before packing. When a barrel Of still warm poultry is put into a car there is danger that it will spoil before being taken out, even though packed around it. The outside package and for a few inches Inward are rendered cool, but not the Inside. Most shippers of chickens think that If the consignment is to be iced all has been done that is necessary for its keeping. Experience has shown otherwise. It Is little trouble to get the meat thoroughly cold before being packed. This is especially the case In cold weather. Yet that little trouble will result in having the stock come to the market In good shape. Ice Is of the Fattening , 4 . Fowls. Exercise Is not conducive to the laying on of flesh. On the other hand as birds do not thrive when confined In coops the process of fattening should be a very quick one. Fourteen days is long enough to get a Mashed potatoes fowl In condition.
