Inc poultry snow is a{IOrdinS a pleasant
haven today for people down town who
want to get out Of the weather and forget
it. The great hall is as lively as ever with
strutting, growing and singing fowls, and
it is an easy matter to imagine a pretty
thorough escape from the drizzle and slop
outdoors. The judges having completed
their work, and the discussion of the
awards having had time to spend it's fury,
the great show is drifting peacefully to it's
close. All the ribbons and cards have been
hung up and the clerks are gradually de-
Gliding where the many special premiums
are to go. The largest Special purses were
placed on light Brahmas, and the greater
p1 oportion of them will go to John l.. Cost
of Hagerstown and Charles E, Ford of Ral
timore.
The value of the ribbons is appreciated
evidently by many people who have not
taRen them in legitimate competition. Yes
terday twenty-one blue ribbons were stolen
belonged
The association at once issued ribbons to
take their places and special watchmen
were employed to patrol the hall and catch
any culprit who might try to repeat the
misdemeanor
The feeding scheme illustrated by DIR.
Stewart of Detroit probably attracts as
much attention as any one thing in the
"
marvel, and to the man who doesn't know
a thing about chickens 1t is fairly humor-
Gus. 1t consists of clock-work escape
dment which alternately pulls long wires
connected with two sets of hoppers con-
tanning corn wheat, barley and buck whea t.
For about ten seconds one set of hoppers
will rattle down grain, and then the other
set will begin their rataplan. Thus the
biddies are kept running for three or four
hours from one end Of their pen to the
other.
DR.. Stewart began the machine for diver
sion, and found it to work SO well he
1t could do. He has lived for number of
years on the Pacific coast, where in the
mild winters his fowls got too fat. BY ex-
ercising them with his machine he not only
Kept their obesity within bounds, but made
them shell out the raw material for his
matutinal omelet five mornings in the
week instead of two, as formerly under
the Old lazy method of feeding. The old
poultrymen who see the secret of 1t have
stopped laughing at the machine. but the
general public finds continual pleasure in
Dr. Stewards joke on the hens.
