The second annual exhibit of the
Arizona Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock
association opened yesterday in the
/ Stainegger building and was attended
by A large number of visitors. On en-
tering the show room one is pleasantly
! surprised to find there has been such
/ extensive breeding of fancy birds, and
| the exhibition in general reflects we'll
/ on gallinaceous and bird fanciers in
the valley.
A large premium list has been pre-
pared, together with cash premiums
which Will be awarded if the circum-
stances justify it, but the judge, Mr.. 5.
/ L. Roberts Of San Diego, did not ma
terialize yesterday and the matter OF
awarding prizes will take place as scon
as convenient. The exhibit room is
completely stocked with variety OF
birds ard a few specimens of rabbits,
but it Will be necessary to make room
in some manner fer new arrivals which
will be entered On the shelves before
the scoring is coMpleted and the prs
miums are finally awarded.
On entering the show quarters there
is seen to the right IN evolution pro-
cess which receives eggs into an incu-
bator transforms them into. chicks
| which lie about the first breeder and
thence into a more spacious apartment
with a small roOst in connection. Here
the yOTC gsters receive warmth from
hCc water process until they are finally
disposed of and if successful they may
also occupy an exhibit coop and be adj
mired by the visitors of the next an
nUaI fowl exhibit
TO the right Of he entrance after
passing a pair Of Golden Se5bright
bantams, lies q tier Of coops and pens
consisting mostly of brown and white
Leghorn5 Plymouth Rocks and Wyan-
dCttes. The center column is headed
by two coOpS, the one containing a pair
of Buff Cochin blntams, the cock con-
trasting with 2 huge Partridge Cochin
rooster which keeps company with
hen in pen to the right. It is sig
nificant that while the bantam weighs
only fifteen ounces, hts fellow exhibitee
presses the balance down to fifteen
pounds, thereby preserving station
airy ratio Of sixteen ID one, which will
prevail until such time as the lillipu-
tian deems himself competent to cope
with the spurs of his giant rival
But passing these eXtremities one is
assaued by the cackle of fowls from
every direction. To the rear of the
center row which is composed mostly
Of White LegEOrns, Light Brahmas,
guinea fowl and Buff C0chi:s, is cOopsd
off a trio OF snowy white Holland tur-
keys. This left aisle is made up of all
varieties Of leghOrns ranging from
white to black N cOlUr, while in the
midst Of the group there is 4 beautiful
pair of p53-fCwI3 with long, artistic
tails, trimming and clubbing, which
blend purple with emerald and many
other fascinating ColCrs that set off
to good advantage a cluster Of sym
metrical and light colCred feathers
which adorn their heads. The display
of fancy bred pigeons is also entitled
% consideration, consisting as it does,
Of blcoded Pouters. Homer carriers,
