These Chickens Are All Right
Now.
The Prize Winners at the PJul-
try Show.
The Incubator Contest Now On-The
Machines Matching Out Yocng
Chickens-Features of
the Show.

rounds since Monday all of the classes
have not been passed upon, and as a
result the awards given below are only
partial list of the birds that have q
right to crow.
1t is certainly not case of the pref
tiest at the poultry show. The fellow
that have been frozen out entirely from
the prize list strain their lungs and
crow just as hard as though they had
taken the blue r. bbons. Mankind could
certainly learn lesson in unselfshness
by visiting the show Gu any day for the
rest OF the week, if the observer only
takes the pains to apply the case prop
erly. The long rowe OF coo, have been
decorated with palm leaves and flowers,
which sdds greatly to the general APP
pearance of the hall.
White cloth forms the sides of the
coops, but frequently the autocratic
tendencies OF the roosters get tho better
OF them. ard instead of being contented
with spoiling for fight they go to their
neighbors and provoke one. Ths other
CAV two roosters were confined in coops
side by side. One bird was dark red
and black and the other q white. Both
Of them had evidently been looking for
the same thing. Finally the white bird
tore down the cloth and went at his red
neiehbor. The latter was too strong,
however. and drove the invader into his
own coop and proceeded to follow up his
lead. The coop Immediately resembled
befeathefed whiligig; and when the
pair were separated the sides OF the
coop were spattered with blood from the
white birds comb. Numerous oimiar
marks Of impromptu combats are to be
seen along the rows of coops. The
games. however, do none OF the fighting.
At the weighing scales it is easy to
determine whether this is the first time
any fow has been exhibited. The Buff
Cochins Of Mr.. Olthausen's display are
very tame and submit to being weighed
as a matter OF course. This is also the
case with the birds OF many other ex-
hibits. Some OF the smaller varieties or
lees experienced fowls try to escape, and
the weighing is frequently accom- panied
with considerable amusement for those
looking on. 1t occupied about one hour
Monday to weigh the eight Pekin ducks.
Tbs Guatemala wild turkey WAS placed
down stairs yesterday by the box Office
and attracted considerable attention.
j. B. Kuhn has a bantam turkey
weighing 21a pounds on exhibit with
Mr.. Olthausen in the southwest corner
OF the hall.
The incubator contest in now in pro-
gress, the judges being at work yester-
day. This display has about the larg
est assortment OF machines shown in

spohded with all of the principal manu-
fscturers OF incubators throughout the

they furnish the incubators free of
charge, the local association to furnish
