the Utah Poultry association Is open at
Nos II and ~ east First South street,
Il Is said by good judges TO be the
finest collection OF birds yet brought to-
gether by the association. Not only Is
the collection fine in quality, but II is
the largest ever exhibited in Utah as
shown by the number Of entries, which
aggregate 1900,
w. W. Browning is acting as judge
and Is busy scoring the birds From the
score cards II Is seen that the poultry
raisers OF Utah are paying strict atten-
ton to the fine points OF breeding there
being many birds which are as near
perfection as Il Is possible to bring
them. One thing that makes this ex-
hibit show to better advantage than
those given before is owing TO the larg-
er room In which II is held. The pens
are not 80 crowded and the advantage
Is gained OF being able to group var
ieties.
The major portion OF the exhibit Is
composed OF chickens but there are
unusually large numbers OF turkeys,
geese and ducks, besides Belgian
hares. and Madagascar rabbits. The
plymouth rocks are as usual the most
popular breed OF chickens and the eX-
hibit is very large Of all three Of the
varieties barred buff and white.
Next in point OF favor are the
cochins with the leghorns a close third.
The display OF bantams Is very large
and is composed OF all varieties from
