Peaches Good Enough for Delaware.
The department of farm and garden
prod ucts, notwithstanding the long drouth,
was marvel. The exhibit by the BraLtle-

pounds. There we're over 900 varieties in
this display, which were for exhibition
only.
One-half of the entire middle bench was
covered with the exhibit of George Ho-
mer, gardener for d. McGillyray. There

BILE shO wing with over 80 varieties.
A. g. Brown of West Halifax made
clean exhibit OF 10 varieties, including
some large squashes which would not suf-
fer by comparison with the best ones. By
far the finest show Of potatoes was made
by j. Ii. Stowe & Son of Wilmington,
who had so varieties, some Of them weigh
ing over two pounds. They we're of all
sizes, shapes and eolors. Merrill S. Moore

cellent exhibit Of seven varieties of beans,
including the bush lima, was made by J.
G. Staff ord.
The longest gourds ever seen at the Val

THEY HAD THE PULL.

The drawing contests were very close,
and large crowd applauded the efforts OF
the dumb gladiators, who were urged on
by leather-tongued drivers. Days before the
fair the oxen were tested for their strength
with heavy loads of granite. The oxen in
the higher classes seemed to be all muscle,
and those in the $500 pound class drew
within 200 pounds of the free-for-all oxen.
In the 5000 pound class o. P. Hubbard
of West Halifax won with a draw of 6195
pounds. F. W. Morse of Williamsvllle

Between 1000 and 100 birds were
shown in the poultry department, the prac-
tical and utility classes having the largest
numbers, which shows that the scheme
which was adopted two years ago of Civ.
ing the larger amount Of money to these
classes was successful. In quality the
birds excelled any ever seen in Brattlebrro.
A fsncier who has attended all the large
fall shows in New England this year, de.
cared that the one here was far in The lead.
Buff Plymouth Rocks, and White and Buff

lection of bottled wines, and there was an
attractive exhibit of jelly byiMrs. F. E.
Aldrich of Mortified, Mass.
1t would require an artist and a poet
combined TO picture with any degree OF
satisfaction the beauty that met ones
gaze in the department of flowers. The

here 1t is but Just 10 recognize again the
enterprise of Mr.. Roel, of the BrattlebOro

heifer Voltage, sired by Mona's Glory, the
prize winner on the Island of Jersey,
dropped a calf while en- route to this coun-
try. Voltage and the calf born on the high
seas, known as Voltage Atlantic, were
pointed out as curiosities on account Of
their peculiar history. There was not a
single animal in the exhibit which could be
bought for $500. The BriaIclff Farms
Jerseys were on exhibition, not having
been shown in competition in the past two
years.
The Guilford Springs Farm of Guilford
Centre as usual added to the interest and
excellence of the Jersey exhibit with
herd Of about 20 registered thoroughbreds,
including the bulls Lord Signal Hugo and
Calvin S. Truck, two and four years old re-
spectively, shapely animals, whose high
breeding is apparent at a glance. The
younger bull was bred at the Briarcliff
Farms.
The veteran c. H. Childs of Conway,

Jerseys, with % entries. His animals are
of high general standing, and both sexes

Above them futtered the colors standing
for winnings at the biggest fairs in the
East, and word to the keepers sufiiced
to bring out the story of the animals rec
ords and triumphs, and of the qualities
which set them above their fellow bovines
Oxen of greater bulk have been seen some
times, but there were several pairs which
went above the 1000 mark. In symmetry
and beauty, however, the draft oxen and
steers seen here we've simply matchless,
and the two and three year-olds we're
prodiges in size which give promise of
eventually reaching the gigantic class.
Hood Farm Jerseys and Berkshires.
The famous Jerseys from the Hood
farm in Lowell, Mass, were again a not
able feature of the cattle department. The
animals seen this year included many of
these which made the rounds of the West
ern state fairs last season. This herd
also took the principal prizes at the New
England fair at old Orchard Maine, this
year
At the head of the herd of Jerseys is the
famous prize winning bull, Hood Farm
Pogis, This animal has proved a prize
winner ever since he was first shown, when
in 1895, at two years old, he won sweep
stakes prize as the best bull of any age,
and headed the sweepstake herd at the
New England fair. Since then he has a
