Tie Poultry Show.

Ihe Poultry SHOW
By no means the least, and, to
some, very interesting attract
ion during the carnival, was the
poultry show at Silas II. Keeton's
grocery. Though the moulting
season is not yet over, the fowls |
were all in good plumage and con-
dition, making a good showing on
the whole, though of course, the
fancier could distinguish some
difference between individual
birds. Some of the young stock
last springs hatch, showed quick
growth and prodigious size,
features which nearly all the
fowls in the exhibition possessed.
This is the first attempt at any
thing like poultry show in San
Angelo for years, and the Press
hopes that the performance will
be repeated early and often"
We have some fine judges of the
fancy in poultry in our section,
and quite number who raise
pure bred fowls of the various
breeds and there is enough ma
terial here for very creditable and
interesting shows. AS for the
poultry industry, on the whole
30 section presents more promis-
ing field.
Hundreds; perhaps thousands,
of dollars are sent away from here
annually for poultry and eggs,
which might be kept at home and
the industry built up to the ex-
port point. AS for conditions,
they are better no where else,
and with the same care and atten-
ton, the poultry business should
pay as well, if not, indeed, better
here than elsewhere.
The Press recommends to it's
friends who took sufficient inter-
est in this matter, to get up this
show, for which they are entitled
to due praise and credit, as we'll
as for their individual exhibits,
that they organize a poultry
association, which should prove
profitable as we'll as pleasant, and
be the forerunner of others in this
section.
Represented in the exhibits re-
ferred to IN the foregoing were the
following:

snow white Leghorns.
