Poultry Fairs.

Two years ago Chicago held her
first annual fair in the interest of her
State Poultry Association. We were
present during its session, and were
surprised at the interest manifest. -
We have learned not to be surprised.
Why oughtn't the various classes of
poultry, etc, be improved as well as
our breeds of horses, cattle and stock
generally. Twenty years ago the
old barn yard fowl was " Cock Of the
Walk" then Shangbais stepped in,
and the old sac cents q dozen egg ma
her, had to take less prominent
roost. To. day we find the various
breeds Of poultry, and feathered do
mesticated tribes generally, vastly
improved, and q tangible value at
taching as much to these, as TO the
more prominent stock Of farm raising.
We believe New ork IS entitled TO
the credit Of organizing the first Ponl'
try Fair Michigan closed her first
annual fair a. Detroit in the inter ests
of her poultry association on the 3oth
Of last month, after session Of five
days. The number Of entries foot up
three hundred and eighty-Seoen,-
The amount expended by the Associa-
ton in premiums is $4,000. The great
est inter st was manifested by poul-
try lovers over all the State, and the
attendance was larger than the most
sanguine had anticipated. The So
ciety was organized November 4th,
1871, and consists of an efficient
Board Of officers who are determined
to make it a profitable success,
