Central Vermont Poultry Association.

Central Vermont Poultry Association.
This association was formed In December last
by number Of individuals who have become in
terested In poultry raising and who desired TO
give unity and direction to the very general in
terest manifested in the subject in the region in.
dictated by the name Of the association. Its off,
GERS are: President, W. c. White OF Barre; secre-
tary, Lewis P. Thayer Of Montpelier; treasurer,
+. +. Ptkin Of Montpelier; with a list Of vice
presidents and a board Of directors. The right
way has been chosen to promote very commend
able object. BY association, breeds Of horses and
cattle have been greatly improved. The meeting
OF the dairymen at Brandon last week showed
what association has done for the dairy interests
Of the state. Every industry and profession in
the country has its special association in which
the individual efforts, experiences and results are
pooled for the common good, and from which each
| individual may draw that which he may turn TO his
own account Competitive exhibitions give an &C.
tive stimulus TO individual efforts, and excite pub
lie interest in a societys doings and 20 more rapid
| progress is made through the agencies developed
by association than by unorganzed individual
| exertons This is the theory Of association and
| its beneficial results will depend upon the skill
|
practice This association ia well differed, has n
good membership Of the best poultry fanciers in
the country, and II they stick together and push
along resolutely, their exhibitions may become
an annual mid-winter event that will be regarded
with as much popular interest as are the autumn
nal fairs
The exhibition held last week was nm exceed
ingly fine one. The awarding Judge, A. f.
|
pert fancer pronounced it one Of the best he ever
attended. The rules of the National Poultry AS
ISOLATION were rigidly applied in awarding the
| premiums, yet under this severe test the score
cards showed upwards Of ninety points in
majority OF instances The society has nucleus
for strong organization and the material for
frst-cass exhibition They have made good
beginning, and, benefited by the experience
gained from this first exhibition, are in condi-
ton to make a better one next year which should
have the active interest and substantial support
OF the public.
