the Interest in poultry raising, the introduc-
ton Of new varieties and breeds, the holding
of exhibitions, etc. A deep interest is felt in
the subject in every part of the State. The
number present at the first meeting was larger
than was anticipated; and gentlemen from
different parts of the State who were unable
to be present forwarded their expressions OF
sympathy with the movement; and in fact
everything seems to point to the complete
success of the new association.

raised poultry for the fun of it, and could not

the beautiful varieties. Thoughr that poul-
