The Journal man while at the sta
tiOn, the other day. waiting for the
afternoon train to arrive was talking
with Ticket Agent Walker. While talk
ing a gentleman rendered one of the
new 81 bills for the payment of tic
ket. 1t was the first one the Journal
man had seen and Agent Walker all
lowed him to examine it. The chief
difference between the issue of 1899 and
that of other years is the absence of
portraits on the back Of the bill. There
is not nearly as much ornamental
work on the bill. and on both sides
there are large figures giving the de-
nomination. In the center on the front
is spread eagle with the flag in it's
claws Over the eagles head are the 13
stars. In each upper corner there is a
large figure one. Under the eagle on

THE CHICKEN SHOW.
Outline of this lntert sting Feature of the
Street Fair.

At the coming Mankato street fair
and harvest festival will be seen one of
the finest displays of thoroughbred
poultry ever exhibited in Southern
Minnesota. This isuan exhibition that
attracts the fancier and farmer in par
ticular. Ifone contem plates starting a
flock of thoroughbreds, here is the best
opportunity offered to make a selec-
ton. Every class of standard fowl
from the massiyeJ Cochin, the proud
and stately Brahma, the lordly Lang
shan, the beautiful SBarred Rock, the
sprightly Leghorn and Hamburg and
the dimutive Bantam will be seen
in their best attire. Fine specimens of
each breed will be represented, both
young and old, competing for prizes
offered bysthe,merchants and manufac.
turers of Mankato and vicinity. While
the fancier of thoroughbred poultry
will be especially interested in COM
pairing the various specimens among
the many different varieties it is also
an exhibit that attracts most every
body, for who docs not enjoy seeing a
fine array of carefully bred and beau
tifully plumaged birds. Take for in
stance the soft buff color of the Buff
Cochins, with exquisite prevailing and
lacing on the Cornish Indian females
and Partridge Cochins. The contrast

Light Brahma and Hamburg, in fact
every breed of fowl has it distinction,
shape or color Each is bred to a GER
tain standard of perfection entirely
different from the others and this dis
tinction has been brought about by the
work of the true fancier. For he is
poor breeder who does not do some
thing to improve the variety or breed of
his choice either in color, points or
utility qualities, for as in most every
thing else so with thoroughbred poul-
try fashions change and if one does not
keep up with the fad or fashion they
are not in it, so to speak,
Wonderful strides have been made in
the advancement of the utility quail
ties of the barnyard fowl An ordi-
nary hen will lay perhaps five or six
dozen eggs per year while the fancier
by carefully selecting his best layers
and breeding from them has produced
hens with records of over two hundred
eggs per year. This in itself is quite
an item, as it costs no more to keep
good layer than poor one. Then

scale at about three to five pounds

sort of wonder to the writer that the
farmer whose advantages for raising
poultry are unsurpassed, will continue
from year to year to breed scrubs,
while with small outlay of few dol
lars in thoroughbred fowls or eggs he
can increase the weight of his flock
from % to 80 per cent besides receive
nearly twice as many eggs without in
creasing the number of his flock and no
more expense for feed and how much
more attractive fine flock of thorough
breds is than flock of as many colors
as Joseph's coat. The fanciers and far
mers in the surrounding country are
becoming more interested in standard
bred fowls each year and the result of
their work and enthusiasm will be ex.
hibited at the poultry show during the
fair.
The officers of the Street Fair and
Harvest Festival have been very liberal
to this department by securing the
services of an expert poultry judge, G.
D. Holden, of Owatonna, who has
worldwide reputation as breeder and
judge of thoroughbred poultry, to place
the awards.
Farmers, this will be an educational
feature for you as you will have the op
portunity to have your birds passed up
ON by competent judge who can give
a reason for his acts If your fowls do
not win you will have chance to find
out the reason,
By all means bring your birds. Elk
hibit them in nice, attractive !coops
uniform in size, as it adds much to the
appearance of the exhibit, Have your
birds in good condition, clean and
healthy in appearance. Many bird
has lost first place to bird of no more
merit but better conditioned. Perhaps
some one will get slight attack of hen
fever and you want your birds to make
a good impression on him or her, as
the case may be.
The enteries will close on Wednes
day, Sept. 18th, and the awards will be
placed the 18th. Come early and avoid
the rush. FRED A. FISHER,
