THE SHOW
The Poultry Exhibition Decided Success SO
Far 1t Has zone.

and Superintendent Mulky and Justice
Jones pronounced it the best ever held by
the Southern Kansas association. 1t was
visited yesterday by hundreds of people
all OF whom expressed their surprise at
the size of the fowls present Some six
months chickens are actually AS large as
eagles, while the ducks, in some instances,
are taken for geese 1t is amusing to OBJ
serve the spirit of revalry that
is manifested by the BOOSTERS
as to which of them can crow the loudest.
One bantam over in the corner wants to
be heard in the world, and he crows 4
big rooster in the next coop to him laughs
at the pretentions of his diminutiYe neigh
Dor and, with a twinkle in his eye, he
Chances at his mates, as much as to say,
You just lay low and hear me crow" and
then he fiops his wings, curves his neck,
and crows crow that shakes the coop.
Over in the opposite corner of the room
there is big Plymouth Rock rooster,
owned by NJ. b. Keagy, of Wellington. He
is not bit proud or stuck up, but when
he hears the big BOOSTERS Growing over the
little ones, and delighting in it, he crows
himself and knocks all the other
ROSTERS silly. 1t is said that all the
clocks in Wellington are set by this
BOOSTERS crow. He crows at midnight and
it is said that he was never known to miss
low twelve by third of second.
Mr.. Keagy has one of the finest exhibits
at the show. There are larger exhibits
there but none better so far as quality is
concerned. 1t consists of Plymouth Rocks
and single-comb Brown Leghorns. Mr..
heagy is not only breeder of fine poultry

hogs known.

d. A. Snyder has some beautiful Wyan-

purely an American chicken and is said
to be one of the best breeds known. He
did not originate in Wyandotte, Kan, as
one might suppose, and was given that
name by the American Poultry associa-
ton, on account of the fact that the name,
like the chicken, is purely American. Mr.
Snyder has also on exhibition some single
comb White Leghorns and Black Mi
norcas.
