THE STOCK EXHIBIT
is conceded to be unusually good, this
year, and is attracting already, more
Than common share of interest. The asso-
citation has made many commendable I'M
provements in the location and condition
of the pens and stalls, and visitors can
now 60 over the compact exhibit and see

the earlier hours of the afternoon, yester.
day, n REGISTER reporter made hurried
tour Of the north end OF the enclosure,
which takes in the stock exhibit.
First, on the right Of the entrance, come
the coops, containing the exhibit of poul-
try, which, while fair, is not what might
have been expected, as the coopis only hall
full. In the first compartment was pair OF
Toulouse geese, which are the largest breed
OF geese raised. This pair is the finest and
largest we have ever seen and IS the proper
ty of ID. Adolph, of this city.
The large white ducks next attracted the
reporters attention. They are the proper
~ of T. c. Farmer, of Flushing, O., and are
what is known as the "Pekin Ducks"
They are the largest breed of ducks in this
country, being as large as an average
goose. In the cage adjoining the white
ducks was a fine pair OF Muscovey
ducks; on account Of their plumage being
badly broken, they, OF course, did not show
up to an advantage, but still their size de-
noted that they were full bloods
Mr.. Joseph and T. c. Farmer had the
largest display of chickens, principally
Plymouth Rock, and all fine chickens
some of them as large as turkies. They
also had pair of fine white-fOOted ban
tams, whose plumage is all white with long
knee feathers, hence the name; and a pair
of silver Seabright bantams. These birds
have very brilliant plumage, and with
one exception, are the prettiest on exhibit
ton.
Mr.. A. H. Patterson had several fine
game chickens on exhibition, called the
duck Wing game. These birds are be-
yond doubt the finest plumed chickens
on the grounds.
The swine pens were next visited. Here,
about fifty fine hogs were on exhibition.
The Berkshire were the first noticed and
were quite fine collection, though little
more flesh would not hurt their appear
ance. Between them and the Essex it
was very hard for person not
versed in hogs to distinguish, as
but the former, when well taken care OF,
are much larger, though the latter breed
will keep fat with one.half the care of the
Berkshire. Mr.. J. H. Durham, OF st.
Clairsville, had very fine lot of Poland
China hogs. which were in good order and
showed that they had received some atten-
ton before being brought to the fair.
The most important feature was the cat.
tie. There were over one hundred
head on the ground, all of them
nicely arranged so as to show
each one off to the best advantage. Mr.. J.
c. Hoge, Of Martins Ferry, had six head OF
Jersey" cattle. This breed of stock is not
large, but priced for its fine milking quail
ties and neatly made forms. One in par.
ticular attracted great crowds, 3-year old
male, and a close examination by crowd
of cattle men present found not blemish,
he being as they TERMED it, built from
the ground up" Several spoke in great
praise of the pretty neck and head Of the
brute
Mr.. T. p Phillips, of the Waddington
farm, also had fine lot of thorough bred
Jerseys which were as fine in the reporters
Judgment, as the ones just mentioned.
Mcssrs l.. and n. w. Bundy had fifteen
head of short horn" Durham, ranging
from six months TO five years old. This
breed of cattle is not noted for its milking
qualities, but is the finest beef cattle
raised. They grow to an immense size and
weight, being very closely and heavily
built cattle.
MI. y. ID. W llSOil sui, VI
county, Pa, displayed a new stock of cattle,
comprising seven head, ranging from six
months to four years. This is an imported
breed, from Germany, and the universal
colers of these cattle are black and white.
The large male, who is in very thin order,
weighs at present 3 900 pounds. which will
give the reader a slight idea of the size OF
the breed Another good feature OF these
cattle is that they are noted for their fine
milking qualities, and, as the owner stated,
his cattle combined the beef qualities OF
the Durham and the milking qualities OF
the Jersey.
Mr.. G. Hsndlan, of Washington county,
Pa, had l3 head of short horns with him,
one of which is the largest male or the
grounds, his weight being $500 pounds.
Mr.. w. G. Rankin, of ST. Clairsyslle, had
a fine young short horn male, but as he
did not arrive here until after the entries
were closed he was not allowed to enter for
the premiums.
Mr.. Julius lie Moyne, of Washington,
Pa, also had fine assortment ofcattle, his
