Inc state poultry association VeSter-
day opened its annual exhibition at
Market hall. with about the largest dis
play of fowls ever seen in the North
west. In the afternoon the hall was
alive with people. the Growing of cocks,
cackle of hens, the piping of wild geese,
etc. t. l.. Morgan. of ST Paul, has
again furnished his eight coopS Of Can
ada wild geese, three coops OF Chinese
geese, and four coops Of Toulouse geese,
the largest variety in the world Of this
kind of fowl Several years this dis
play has been a leading attraction of
the annual exhibitions. The wild geese
are not wild, but so tame that children
put their hands through into the coops
and pat and smooth them, and the birds
in turn nip the fingers of the children
playfuliy and so cautiously as not TO
hurt. The Chinese geese are very
large birds, and there are two varieties
of them--one coop being the white
crested, and two coopS the brown-crest-
ed. The four coops of Toulouse geese
are monster young birds, the ganderS
averaging tWenty-four pounds. and The
geese twenty-five pounds.
The display of turkeys is also great
attraction, one beautiful bronze gObbler
weighing over forty pounds.
There are also some coopS OF beautiful
ducks.
But the elaborate display is that, of
course, Of hens and cocks. AS usual,
the Asiatic, American and Mediterrane-
an varieties are largely in the majority.
