The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-21
1T is TO HAVE AN EXCELLENT OP-
PORTUNITY AT THE STATE
FAIR.
FINE EXHIBIT is PROMISED
BY THE FOWL BREEDERS OF THE
STATE IN RESPONSE TO EN-
COURAGEMENT.
BY the management Which Are
Aimed to Bring Out IL Fine
Feathered Display.

Preparations for the state talr, Wnlch
will open on the Hamline grounds Sept.
6, are being pushed with unusual Vigor,
and the management is confident that
this years exhibition will be greater
by far than any ever before held in
the state or the Northwest. Interest
is growing daily, and exhibitors from
far as we'll as near are being attracted
not only by the increased premiums Of
fered, but by the assurance that Min
nesota's fairs are we'll managed and
largely attended by representative peo-
pie. Entries for premiums are now be-
ing received by the secretary, very
unusual thing this early in the season,
and applications for space are being
received daily by the superintendent
of the various departments.
The poultry exhibit will certainly sur
pass anything in this line ever before
attempted. Last year the old poultry
building proved to be much too small
to accommodate the exhibits offered,
and Duluth's building upon the grounds
and two large tents were used to ac-
commOdate the overflow This scat
tered the exhibit, nlarred the general
effect and placed the poultrymen at
great disadvantage. To prevent any
trouble of this kind this year the old
dlnlng hall upon the grounds, a build
ing lOO feet square with an annex thir-
ty-hVe by thirtyfive feet, will be re-
chrlstened poultry hail." and will be
used for this exhibit This means am
pie space and conveniently arranged
eXhlolt. The main building will be oc-
cupled by the poultry, and the annex
VIII be filled with incubators and
prooders. Last year the showing was
large, over 1000 birds having a part
in the competition, but it now seems
certain that this record will be broken
this year. The building has been equip
! ped with new show coops, both single
and double, and the feathered occu-
pants will be splandidly cared for. No
charge is made to exhibitors for the
use of coops. The society has certain
| ly done its part in thus providing the
Facilities for a large, attractive and
compact exhibit, and Supt Parlin, of
this department, says that the pouI-
| trymen of the Northwest will not fail
| in theirs.
1t frequently occurs that the total
/ value of the poultry products of the
country Is greater than that of
the wheat crop of the country.
| Inc number engaged in raising fowls.
! either for pleasure or profit, is con-
/ stantly increasing. The premiums Of
fered are open to all, so that the poul-
! tymen of other states may compete.
The total cash premiums offered this
year are over 5000. AS all entries must
| be made in pairs, and as an entry may
! be made for fowls and another for
, chicks in each class, it means that don
BILE the amount Of money indicated in
the following list of premiums is Of

! Matched prior to 1897; and will again

speaking of the matter, a prominent
poultryman recently said: 1--WE under

departments will be large this year.
