and thresher, and a. f. Walker of
Leicester junction the Crown grain and
fertilizer drill. Wheeler's ncw-process
evaporator, which is said to effect a say
ing of one-half over the open-pan ma
chimes and to be simpler and better in
several respects than any of them, was
shown, as was also the Champion evap-
orator, which is sold by c. Ii. Churchill
of Pttsford
The contents of the sheep barn made 1t
clear that the sheep business of the coun-
ty is, AS it long has been, on Il solid ba-
sis. MerinOs were shown by f. y. Bis
sci of East Shoreham, l.. Chenette of
Shoreham, II. c. and L. S. Burwcll of

having sheep on the farm but do not
have the time or the taste for Merinos
Mr.. Chapman is one of these, and his
sheep were shown just as they came from
the fields. They were handsome lot of
animals. One lamb weighs l20 lbs. Tn
like Mr.. Chapman, Wilcox Bros. of Brid-
port, who made a showing of u head of
Shropshires, are breeding these particu
lar sheep as a business and naturally
they give them the best of care. They
went into the Shropshire business three
years ago. 1t was said by competent
Judges at the fair that no breeder in
America could make finer display than
they made here. Three of their ram
lambs average l2G lbs. each; three eve
lambs, llG lbs. They have an imported
yearling ram that weighs POI lbs. and
three imported yearling ewes that to-
gether tip the scales at Gl2 lbs. They
breed both registered and unregistered
stock. At the State fair IN Burlington
last week they took the first prize offered
by the Shropshire association of the
United States, and they sold there two
rams for $40 and five head-three ewes
and two rams-for S270, all yearlings.
