SHEEP.
The sheep pens were full. In the
Cotswold section the Phillips Bros.
were missed, but Ell. M. Salmon sup
piled the place quite well with his
two large bucks and other sheep. There
were other good grades. E. B. True of
Newport helped out the Leicester de-
partment with buck that had formerly
weighed $50 lbs. and several animals
that took 1st premium at the Sher-
brooke fair in 1892. Martin Durkee
showed some good sheep and trip
let lamb which weighed 125 pounds.
S. B. Nelson had several good pens of
sheep of this breeding. @. B. Leland,
who always runs good flock of sheep,
made the chief showing in South
downs E. B. True showed several
registered Merinos, some of which
had come from the Chapman flock in
Addison county. Isaac Parker show
ed lot of grade merinos and one reg
istered buck, all good specimens of
the breed A. F. Hinkley also got in
good exhibit of this breed in grades;
ditto S. B. Nelson. The Shropshires
were an attraction; these were chiefly
entered by w. W. Rowell, who had
20 animals on the ground. There
were several registered animals and
some grades. They are taking much
pains to get the best in this excellent
class Of sheep. A. F. Huxley also
showed some good grade sheep.
SWINE.
There were three or four pens of
hogs, chiefly sows and pigs. w. FL.
Martin showed two good sows, with
fine filters of pigs. We did not get
the names of other exhibitors.
POULTRY.
No improvement was made in the
facilities for exhibiting poultry, and
the Stands were not crowded. Mr..
Norris Of Newport showed four fine
coops of standard brown Leghorns,
biddies, etc. They were very fine. Mr..
Leland also had several coops showing
the Plymouth Rock variety, game
fowls, etc. Mr.. L. thinks from some
years experience in chen culture"
that the Plymouth Rock embraces
more desirable qualities than any 9TH
er fowls. Mr.. Hinckley showed some
very good geese and three extra fine
Pekin ducks. There were other birds,
but we did not get the owners names.
Somebody showed beadle hound and
nice litter Of pups.
MECHANICAL WARES.
There were not the usual number of |
exhibitors in this line. In dairy APP |
paratus the Vermont Farm Machine |
Co. of Bellows Falls showed the Davis |
Swing churn, the United States Cream
separator and milk testing apparat-
US. The manufacturers are well known
in the state and they undertake to
keep abreast the times with every APP
proved machine that the farmer uses.
This milk separator is very similar to
all separators in shape and philosoph-
ical arrangement. Frank Wheelock
of Newport, who sells the DeLaval
separator, had two machines, and pla-
cards stating how many separators he

we learn these machines give good
satisfaction in this county. If one
happened to 'catch on'' to them he
would be much interested in articles
OFF blacksmith work, consisting Of
hammer, blind swivel, chisels, punches,
ETC., shown by A. M. Stewart Of Low
ell. They showed great mechanical
skill and fine workmanship. The @.
T. Percival Manufacturing Co. occu
pied corner space in the display Of
several pieces of upholstered furni-
ture, chairs, etc. The framework is
done here, and is nicely put together,
carved and finished. The upholstered
work is also nicely done and the frames
covered with fine silk and wooden
covering material. These goods are
sold extensively, and, barring the
times, the sales are considerably on
Cowles, and the representative of Mr..
Bailey were present. Mr.. Cowles oc-
cupied full side of the room with in
struments. The reputation Of his Will
cox & White organs is we'll establish
ed, as is also his Mathushek pianos.
Mr.. Cowles and his son are pushing
their business forward every year and
deserve the good will Of the public.
In agricultural machinery, j. w.
Murkland showed several of his sugar
arches, ranging all the way from
baby sugaring off arch to huge evap-
orator outfit. These arches have been |
perfected by experience in their use,
