POULTRY.
The poultry show was small but
was good. Mr.. Norris of Newport
/ Plymouth Rocks. A. F. Hinkley
| showed some Pekin ducks that were
beautiful Mr. Phillips. NJ. E. Sher-
| burne and J. E. Cook showed what
does the "squawking'' and the cack-
ling about the yards. There is need of
good poultry house, where the fowls
can be protected, and where there
can be an exhibition, such as is seen
in other counties. We think the mat
ter will be looked after next year.
MECHANICAL WARES, ETC.
Commencing with the smaller arti
cles Of manufacturer we mention a
set of bits and pump-log augers made
by John Arkley, which were very ex-
cellent specimens of handiwork. Mr..
A. is a genius in many lines of work.
Chester Phillips showed some very
fine guns of his manufacture, and we
mention here his display Of stuffed
birds and squirrels, which was the in
terest and pleasure of every body who
saw them. Nothing can we'll be pretti-
er then the birds Of Vermont set up
by skilled taxidermist. In carriages
A. M. Olmstead showed a trotting
sluky that in style, beauty and fine
finish would be hard to equal. G. j..
Ufford showed an elegant top buggy
with his patent sand box and other
improved parts. Mr.. Whitcher showed
pretty open buggy fnishe d in shell
lac and varnish Mr. Whitcher showed
a strong and excellent Concord wagon.
J. B. Watchie showed an improved
| Concord land a fine top carriage, made,
trimmed and finished in his manu- fac
tory at West Burke, that did much
credit to his workmanship. Hull q
Wells of the same place, who makes
sleighs showed two ip white that were
pretty in style and thorough in work
manship. J. w. Murkland exhibited
one Of his large furnaces, a big evapo-
rator arch, mounted with one of FL. L.
Seaver's best evaporators and heat
ers, a small arch and several plows.
Mr.. Murkland's manufactures are too
well known in this vicinity to need
description or praise. I'll. 0. Witch
er exhibited a sullzy plow, several
steel plows, a corn planter, weeder,
etc. He is agent for some very excel
lent farm machinery, as these ma
chimes showed. The Vermont Farm
Machine Co. exhibited one of their
sugar arches and heaters, a baby sugar
ing off arch. churns, Cooley cream
ers, a fine milk separator and other
dairy implements. This company is
reliable and they try to keep in the
van in all line of goods. The Barden
milk cans were shown. They are of
durable make, simple in construction
and look like q valuable creamer. w.
L. Chase of Lyme, n. H., agent, show
ed one of the well-known Kemp ma
nure spreaders. This machine origi-
mated in this county and has been
used here several years to the salts
faction of all who have used it. Since
the Worcester parties took the max
ing of it it has been simplifed, i'm
proved and perfected until it is most
useful and efficient thing for it's pur-
pose Every farmer ought to own
one or share in one. Frank Whee-
lock of Newport, agent, had couple
of his hand machine milk separators,
and was grinding out cream, skim
milk and butter, and we know not
what, by the turning of crank. He
has sold nearly 100 of these in this vi
cinity, during the past two seasons.
The convenience of this separator is
that the dairyman or his hired men in
a comparatively short time can sepa-
rate his milk and cream in the stable,
bringing his cream to the butter room
without labor on the part Of the house
wife or milk maid, while the separa-
ton is good, clean and rapid. The
Morrisville bakery people showed the
tVermont creams'' and other bakers
goods, and passed around some very
crisp and palatable crackers to the
hollow crowd. A gentleman distribut-
ed salt bags, advertising the superiori-
ty and excellence of the Worcester
salt
A fair in this county without the
genial face of A. r. Cowles and the
music of his instruments, would be an
unusual and unpleasant affair, at
least. Mr.. Cowles and son, Harry,
were present with fine organs and
pianos We noticed a new and beau
tiful seven octave organ. Mr.. Cowles
