Poultry Associations.

After deep study and careful con-
slderation it is very hard to decide
as to who receives the most benefit
from poultry associations. might
answer the question in this way;
Everyone who is connected or at
tends is benefited.
One would naturally say, the
fancy breeder gets the benefit; but,
there is the farmer who opens his
heart and attends, and the exhibit
ton is evidently benefited. Sup
pose a lot of farmers were to give an
exhibition of their common barn
yard fowls. Don't you believe that
an exhibition of that kind would
awaken such an interest that every
man who exhibited dunghlll the
first year would show a thorough
bred the second year? Why, sure
! ly he would, for this reason His
first show would stir up his enthu-
sism and awaken him to a know
ledge of the fact that he had in his
barnya ard a miserable lot of profit
| less fowls that were a drawback to
the farm, and besides he would
want the best at the coming exhibit
ton, and in a short time he would
have the best fowls money could
procure. When he found he had so
greatly improved his flock OF poultry
he could naturally attend the exhi-
billions to be in line with other far
mers and keep abreast of the times.
1t would have tendency to bring
about realization that all of his
stock could be made better by a
more systematic way of breeding.
If you do not believe what / tell
you, go to the farm of man wLc
has first class horses, cattle, sheer
swine and poultry, and you will see
a progressive farmer and a mar
who has money to loan instead of Z
plaster on his farm. Yet how few
look at it in that light!
| Another reason why the farmel
should attend is that by so doing
he strengthens the association anC
furthers the interests of better poul
TRY. My advice is to farmer anc
fancier alike, form associations

ciuity, and better the condition o

OFFICIAL PROGRAM.
Dewey Reception Will be Hand
some Souvenir Well Worth
Preserving.

The preparation of the New York
State official program of the Dewey
reception is now in progress, and
orders are received from all over
the country and abroad for this
great popular souvenir of this ma
tional event, which indicates the
interest manifested by the general
public in the great reception to be
extended to Admiral Dewey on his
arrival in New York, September %.
The State legislative committee, of
which Senator John Raines is chair
man, has perfected all arrange
ments for the Dewey reception.
Mr.. George t. Parker has re-
turned from Washington, where he
had been in consultation with the
navy and other officials. The indi-
cations now are that from an artis-
tic standpoint the State program
will be equal, if not superior, to any
souvenir program of like nature
ever published. The official design
adopted by the committee is an IL
Illuminated cover illustrating the life
of Admiral Dewey from his entrance
to the Naval Academy to the battle
of Manila Bay, which is llfe-like
and realistic. The vivid picture of
the "Man behind the guns" is but
a fitting tribute to the gallant men
who fought with Dewey on that
memorable May morning. The por-
trait of Dewey in the center, under
the eagle and flags, represents the
lighting Commodore" in his uni
form as Admiral of the Navy of the
United States. Scenes from the
battle Of Manila Bay, and other in
teresting matter, and among other
features an engraved reproduction

of his commission as Admiral,
signed by the President of the
United States, and sent to the Adj

the state will be we'll represented

tors and members. Many other

in the history of the Empire State.
Orders, enclosing the price, Is
cents postal note, should be sent to
George T. Parker, Treasurer, 253
Broadway, New York, and they
will receive prompt attention.

Taylor Forced to Talk at Cal.
hoon on the Separate Coach
Question.
Got Rad But Finally Said He
Was Opposed to the Law
Separating the Races.

Owensboro, KY, Sept. 18.-Can-
didate Taylor was cornered at Cal
hoon on the separate coach question,
and after declining at first to give
any expression, finally made the
declaration that ne was opposed to
the law.
Hon. La Vega Clements, of
Greensboro, had an appointment
there for to-day to speak on behalf
of the Democratic ticket. When
Mr.. Taylor arrived, the Democrats,
recognizing the courtesy due the
gubernatorial candidate of the op-
position, made a proposition that
Mr.. Clements speak first for an
hour and then allow Mr.. Taylor all
the time he wanted. This arrange
ment was accepted by Mr.. Taylor
and the Republican committee.
The negotiations were concluded
about quarter after IL o'clock,
but at that hour it was found that
Hal Corbett, a Brownie orator, had
taken possession of the court house
and was speaking. Corbett was
ostensibly filling an appointment
made for Theodore Hallam. He
harangued for an hour and a half
to the crowd that had assembled to
hear the other two speakers. After
Corbett had subsidized, Mr.. Clements
spoke for an hour, discussing the
issues of the campaign and making
fine impression. At the close of
his speech he read the following
series of questions that had been
laid on the desk and called upon
Mr.. Taylor for an answer to each
and all of them:
care you in favor of the separate
coach law?
"If elected Governor would you
sign a bill for its repeal?
eff elected Governor would you
sign a bill if presented to you
amending the law by striking out
the following words in Section 795
of the Kentucky Statutes, viz:
Each compartment of the coach di-
vided by good and sufficient par
tition with a door therein shall be
deemed a separate coach within the
meaning of this act, and which bill
in lieu thereof required the rail-
roads 20 furnish to colored people
separate coach fitted up with the
same conveniences and accommoda-
tions as coaches furnished by the
railroads to white passengers?
Estate your position fully on this
matter, and what you intend to do
for the colored people in case you
are elected Governor.
Mr.. Taylor appeared to be very
much offended at the questions, and
replied in an irritated way that he
"would not answer any questions
prepared by these agents running
around in Goebel's interest"
"Let Goebel meet me face to face
and ask them" he said, land I
will answer them"
Later id his speech, however, he
referred to the questions again, and
said that he was opposed to the
law.
The most remarkable statement
made by Mr.. Taylor, however, was
the following:
81 have assurance that every
boiling Democrat is sending up a
prayer that l may be elected Gov
ernor.

A NEW COMMONWEALTH.
