JUDGING POULTRY

Methods by Which Arbitrators Make Their Awards

& ' Bow do you judge poultry? This 45 a question that is often asked and should be better understood by the average poultry raiser, especially those who show from time to time. The American Poultry Association was organized in” 1873 for the purpose of formulating a standard of excellence to be used by associations in awarding prizes on poultry, and to thus assist the different sections into breeding a uniform type of each breed. A definite scale of points was adopted, giving a certain value to each section of the fowl, hence the score card is a written statement of' the number of points each section lacks of perfection. The poultry judges work always in percentage. For instance, the scale of points for the American class is as follows, according to the old standard, though some changes in the scale of points have been made in the new standard; Symmetry, 8; weight, 6; condition, 4; head, shape 3, color 3; comb, 8; wattles and ear lobes, shape 2, color 4; neck, shape 3, color 6; back, shape 6, color 6; breast, shape 5, color 5; body and fluff, shape 3, dolor 3; wings, shape 4, color 6; tail, shape 4, color 5; legs and toes, shape 3, color 3. A judge can cut on the rose-comb varieties for roughness, irregularity, hollow center, over-sized and ill shape for each defect from one-half to one point. A comb is rarely found more than 50 per cent off without disqualifying the specimen. A cut of 25 per cent or two points is common, and so with every section the judge does hot merely jot down figures, but keeps the scale of points in mind and estimates the percentage it lacks of perfection and cuts accordingly^ —, First he makes his cuts on shape, beginning with symmetry, which he considers after he has made the bird move to make sure that he is not simply standing out of shape. Cuts on comb and color are made after the bird is taken out of the coop. In looking at the shape of the head the judge considers when there is a tendency to crow head, snake head or hawk head. He scans the length from center of eye out to beak; he looks at the length of neck, the width across the hackle, the width across the saddle, the depth of body—not measured from the head, but from the body; he wants ample room for the digestive and reproductive organs, and cuts for lack of It; he wants well-shaped shanks, fur they indicate good space between the hip bones, and good length and shape of toes to give the bird a solid foundation, to make him well balanced; he wants . length on the breast bone, because there is where we like to cut off plenty of meat. The cuts for shape being made, the judge takes the bird in hand, cutting for color defects in each section in proportion to the value of the section. A bird cannot be correctly scored until it is in full plumage, lor the reason that a tail score card is of little value, as neither young nor old are in condition to be scored at that season of the year. The birds that win in the winter shows are through the moult, and a score card gives a fair idea of their quality, or at least the judge’s opinion of their quality Many judges who sdore, score far too high; hence the importance of knowing the judge before placing undue value on a high score card. , When birds score up to 97, or a judge (inds 25 95-point birds in a single flock of 100, we question whether he is scoring as critically as close competition would require. It takes an uncommonly good bird to lack but five points of perfection. One breed er some years ago made a standing offer of SIOO for every Barred Plymouth Rock cockerel, which honestly scored 95 points. The buyer who yet believes in the score card method and buys his birds by the score card and • finds the card describes a 95-point bird and the price is below $lO is justified in thinking that either the judge or the breeder does not know what he is doing.

There are many ways of providing hens with cheap foods that will prove serviceable in promoting egg production. For a dozen hens a sheep’s liver or refuse pieces of beef may be cooked to a breth, thickened with ground oats and cornmeal, equal parts to a stiff dough, and fed every other day. Cut bone is also a cheap food, and a mixture of equal parts of bran, middlings, ground oats, cornmeal and linseed meal, twice a week, will prove an agreeable change. Clover is also one of the cheapest and best foods for winter when cut fine and scalded; while .sunflower seed, millet seed, sorghum seed and cooked turnips are excellent. All these foods are cheap, for two reasons: First, they cost but little and provide the hens with a variety; and, next, because when the hens are so fed, they give a larger number of eggs. No feed is cheap If It does not induce or promote. egg production; and the hens can be made to give a profit by providing them with suitable food, they will return the cost, with interest.
