Book excerpt: Excerpt from Utility-Poultry Standards: Containing a Complete Description of the Most Popular Breeds of Utility Poultry, as Approved by the New Zealand Department of Agriculture, the New Zealand Poultry Association, the North Island Poultry Association, the South Island Poultry Association, And It is fourteen years since egg-laying competitions were started in the Dominion and the foundation-stone laid of the thriving utility-poultry industry as it exists to-day. The breeding of poultry, with a view, primarily, to their utility properties, had not long been in vogue before it became evident that it was imperative that standards of perfection, emphasizing such points of confirmation in the different breeds as had special bearing on the productiveness of the birds, must be formulated for the guidance of breeders. An additional argument in favour of this course came into existence when separate utility classes began to be inserted in show schedule. Standards were compiled by different bodies, and most excellent work done, for which those responsible are entitled to the gratitude of all utility-poultry breeders. In the hope of supplying a uniform standard, the North and South Island Poultry, Pigeon, and Canary Associations combined to promote a conference representative, as far as possible, of utility interests throughout New Zealand, for the purpose of framing a series of standards which would be generally accepted throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion. In order to give additional weight to the work of the conference the promoting associations approached the Department of Agriculture, and the Department granted them the assistance of its Poultry Instructors (Messrs. F. C. Brown and C. J. C. Cussen), whose work during the sitting of the conference was of inestimable value to their fellow-workers.
