In looking over the stock exhibit, it is
gratifying 10 see the exhibits of good bred
cattle that come from this and adjoining
counties. Among the entire list of eX-
hibtOrs is Sam c. Bell, who presents
Cattle company. of Belcherville, Tex, has
very large display of cattle, chiefly
pure bred and graded Herefords, Cable

good POlled Angus. j. NJ. Vance, and

tenSive exhibits of Jerseys. Rhome &
Powell of Wise County, has a good dis
play. consisting chiefly of HerefOrds.
The sales in the poultry department
have been rather slim. but they are on the
increase. You see it is in such bad
season that we have TO exhibit" said Mr..
j. A. Leach, superintendent of the poul-
try department. The birds are shedding
their feathers. and are generally in bad |
condition at this time Of the year, max |
ing it very hard for the birds TO score the |
requisite points in order TO obtain the first |
prize. There are some birds" said Mr.. |
Leach, pointing to a, coop containing |
three Plymouth Rock birds. Fifty dol |
lars could not buy that cock in 1888; $50 |
was refused for that cock and two mates |
last year. but he is shedding now and all |
out of trim. and people have refused to |
pay $40 for him and his mate, the last few |
days. He has brought $40 in premiums |
the past two years. Such is the case with |
a large number of birds, only q few ones |
being at present in a fit condition to eX- |
hibit."
