And I replied, 'No, not thet!"c Death will come when thou art dead, Soon, too soon!

Poultry 1] FIRST: Select your Strain of Bit Improve them every timei yo Good Cook at the Head of yoi Poultry Association, Judging by the number of person ending in their natmes for member hip in the '1Pickens Poultry an let Stock Association" there is quit< n interest being aroused in thorough )red poultry in t be county, and 0b irospects for their first exhibition ii lattering.

A show in Pickens may be a gram uccess as an exhibition of poultri nd pet stock, but it is destined t< )o at flat failure fiuancially, and th< nembers of the Association can :ount on going dow n in their jeani o pay the freigbt.

To the majority of people t icken is a chicken --a pro lucer of fruit for omelets am< L builder of chicker pies, with a pa ralue of twenty-live cents and wheI fancier spenks of prices of $100 t 150 for a single bird, they sneer a he idea and renmirk that it is anothe Pose of "A fool and his mouy," et(t But such prices are not uncommor mud often go many points abov that mark, The Association has act(d wisel in securing the services of Mr. Mai shall as judge, for he is a law unt himself, and will judge all birds o their merits without fear or fato a a member of the "American Pou try Association," and recogriz'd I hemn as an expert, he is bound by th rules of that Association, which hold that all "Judges are to take as muc pains in scoring, and are to cut a 3everely for defects at small shows a it large ones, regardless of coms ition." The fact that he will be preiiaf will draw amny exhibits from abroad is the I u lover of the featherei ,ribe is very anxious ta know th, xact number of points his birds wil core, when judged by one who i: boroughly onto his job. That a Leghorn is a Leghorn or i inorca is a M'norca is true, bu evertheless every Leghorn or Mi lorca is not a prize-winner, and ther< vill be many disappointed exhibitor f fowls who will denounce the whol hing as a foul proceeding. Bu rom what we have seen of the fgwl: n the county, unless there s im )rtations of stock there will be nightly few 'blue ribbons" hung nj 8s trophies in Pickeos county. How ver, those who are not in on the ad, will have an opportunity to set he wondrous beauty of the poultrj ingdmn, and it wvil not only prove pleasdre but a s.ource of surprism nd wondermenot, and nmany a feathei 'ill be coveted for adornment o1 uilady's headgear.
