POULTRY AND PET STOCK.
Mammoth Display of Fenthered Fa-
vOrites to Be Made at Buffalo.

There are some 45 national associa-
the United States. The Live Stock divi-
sion of the Pan-American Exposition,
of which Frank A. Converse is super
intendent, Is In correspondence with all
of these, and most cordial co-opera-
tive spirit is shown on the part of ev-
cry one toward making the poultry and
pet stock show of this Exposition the
greatest of the kind ever held. The
displays of poultry will comprise about
100 breeds. To these will be added six
breeds of turkeys, IL breeds of ducks
and nine breeds of geese.
AS an evidence of their interest in
the coming show many of the associa-
lions have volunteered to duplicate the
prizes offered by the Exposition. 1t is
also proposed by the associations to do
all in their power to boom this feature
of the Pan-American Exposition at the
winter poultry shows to be held in Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia and other
cities. 1t is estimated that not less
than Is per cent of the poultry associ-
atoms will offer special prizes.
An important feature of the Pet Stock
Show will be the exhibit of Belgian
hares. The classification, however,
covers all kinds of pet stock. The Bel
gian hares are being extensively raised
in various parts of the country on ac-
count of the value of their meat. The
fine stock in these animals brings a
very high price, and the demand is sur
prisingly great. The Belgian hare is
much heavier than the common rabbit,
weighing some seven or eight pounds
and quite different animal. Its flesh
is described as cross between venison
and mutton and is highly priced in Eu-
ropean countries for food, 1t breeds
rapidly and feeds upon such simple
and cheap foods as carrots, white oats,
lettuce, clover and tender green food of
many kinds. 1t does not burrow and is
very tame. Children are very fond of
them as pets.
Aside from their value for food, their
fur is in demand for making fine felt.
This will be the first noteworthy ex-
hibit of these animals in America and
will afford an opportunity for every
one to gain useful knowledge concern
ing them

in motion. 1t will be the most magnlf
icent arena ever erected in America
The seating capacity is $4,000. 1t will
contain a quarter mile track and abun
dant space for all the popular athletic
games and sports.
1t is said that no exhibitor has evel
had such splendid arena in which tc
make displays of live stock, machinery
or vehicles.
The architectural adornment of the
Stadium is very simple and beautiful
giving it an aspect of massiveness anC
durability. The arrangement Is that OF
a vast amphitheater, the seats being
under cover and affording comfort to
the spectators. The main entrance of
the Stadium is large building whose
upper floors will be used for restaurant
purposes. This building is 241 feet long
by 81 feet wide, with towers l64 feet
high. The architecture is very pictur-
esque and appropriate for the use for
which it is intended.
The style is that of the Spanish Re-
naissance In conformity with the gen.
eral character of Exposition buildings.
The lower story is an arcaded arrange
ment, and the red tile roof has broad
caves. Bright colors will be used in the
further decoration of the building, and
the old Spanish towers give it finish
ed beauty and make it one of the most
prominent features of the Exposition.
The Stadium is on the east side of the
Plaza, opposite the Midway. 1t is near
the great northern entrance to the Ex-
position, adjacent to the steam and
trolley railway stations. The Athletic
Carnival to be held in the Stadium Is
intended to be one of the most impor-
tant ever held in America. 1t will
bring together many of the most ia
nous specialists in the world, who will
entertain the Exposition visitors with
their feats of strength, skill and endur-
ance The Stadium resembles the one
built at Athens few years ago and is
intended as a model of what it is hoped
some day may be executed in perma-
nent form.

ties, butter workers, cans, creamers,
apparatus for sterilizing and pasteuriz-
ing and vessels for setting and ship
with special reference to the sanitary
and hygienic management of the ami.
mails themselves, the stables which
they occupy and the buildings in which
the milk and cream are cared for. 1t
has been found that nearly all dis
eases to which dairy cattle are subject
can be avoided by cleanliness and prop
er management. The germ theory Of
the transmission of disease has had a
revolutionary effect in dairy manage
ment, and the Importance of the OBJ
servance of hygienic rules will be
graphically portrayed The ventilation
of dairy buildings, having due regard
for the comfort and health of the ami
mails. has been developed upon scien-
tific lines. and present knowledge upon
this feature of dairy construction will
be shown by means of proper models.
The exhibit of dairy products will in
clude milk and cream in all their COM
mercial forms, embracing pasteurized,
sterilized and condensed milk, butter
and many varieties of cheese.
America has never produced a dis
tinctive breed of beef or dairy animals,
but scientific breeding has so improved
upon the imported stock that 1t is said
the American product would hardly be
recognized in the land of its origin.
The effort will be made at this EXPOSE
ton to bring to the attention of stock
growers, dairymen and unscientifc
breeders of beef and dairy cattle the
advantages to be derived from the pos
session of choicer and more efficient
breeds.
1t is said that half the dairymen in
the United States are milking cows
with no profit to their owners, while it
is possible for well bred cows, whose
milk is marketed at normal prices, to
yield profit of 500 per annum. This
lesson in profit and loss concerns every
one who devotes any part Of his time
to dairy work.
The judging of cattle will take place
in the Stadium, where the honors will
be bestowed and where an audience of
10000 people may witness these for
malities. The live stock buildings will
accommodate not less than 1000 cat
tie, and their construction is upon plans
best adapted for the comfort and con-
venience of the animals and herdsmen.

A BIG CATTLE SHOW.
ALL BREEDS TO HAVE RECOGNITION
AT THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION.

A Building to Be Devoted to Exhib-
it's of Dairy Appliances, Methods
and FREDERICKSBURG In All Its Com
mercial Forms.
1t is expected that the live stock,
poultry and pet stock exhibits at the
Pan-American Exposition next year
all told will include about $4,000 indi-
! viduals. Beginning the latter part of
| August, Superintendent Frank A. Con-
verse has arranged for special cattle
show, to continue two weeks. The 16
or II breeds recognized in this country
cattle, will have place in this division.
The classification of beef animals in
cludes the Shorthorns, Herefords, Alb
erdeen-Angus, Galloways, Devons and
Polled Durhams. The National Live
Stock, Shorthorn, Hereford and Gallo
way associations will endeavor to make
exhibits eXcelling in interest any that
they have heretofore brought together.
The cooperation of these great asso-
Citations gives strong assurances of an
unqualified success in this feature Of
the show. The National Live Stock as
ISOLATION expects to make very in
structive exhibit, showing the charac-
ter of animals upon the ranches many
years ago along with those of the pres
ent day, illustrating the remarkable re-
suits of scientific breeding.
The dairy associations are putting
forth special effort to be represented
at the Exposition by their best animals,
and individual exhibitors are preparing
to come in considerable numbers with
specimens of very fine dairy stock.
The displays of dairy breeds will in
clude Jersey, Holstein, Ayrshire, Guern-
sey, Brown Swiss, Red Polled, French
Canadian and Dutch Belted cattle.
Liberal prizes are to be awarded by the
Exposition for the best animals of the
several breeds These attractive purses
are certain to bring out fine selection
of animals.
So important are the dairy interests
of the Americas that a large building
will be devoted exclusively to them at
Buffalo. The building will be equipped
with complete refrigerating outfit so
that fresh exhibits may be shown
throughout the continuance of the Ex-
position. The many ms and outs of
dairy management will be illustrated
by means of models of stable appurte-
nances, ties, water buckets, managers
and appliances of all kinds. Particular
attention will be given to the proper
manipulation of dairy products.
In this connection will be shown all
sorts of churns, separators, watts. bot

the state board of agriculture. Many
came from adjoining towns. They
were welcomed by c. i. Flint. G. j.
Bell occupied the chair. Cassius Peck
gave a description of the college farm
work that was very pleasing and in
structive.
Next came j. X. Curtis with a talk
of stables, feeds, and the way to han
die manure, etc.
The ladies of the grange served a
bountiful dinner to everybody. 1t
was soon found that larger room
was necessary and the Methodist
church was secured for the afternoon
and evening sessions.
Prof. Hill told Of the dairy don'ts
and dos. Don't look for milk from
beef COW. DO keep clean, your COW,
your utensils, and yourself, were the
main points and much that was IN
structive was mixed in.
John Gould then gave most in

who raises corn and is not dollars bet
ter off next fall is the man who did
not hear him.
Sllos had his attention and again
he showed how to save dollars, and
many said: 81 will have a silo.'
Supper was served at the Grange

In Prof. Hills evening talk he told
the "Whys" of John Gould's COW rails

Changes in feeding the world, in
which the American farmer holds the
