coops for JudgIno Fowls.

4
At the Wisconsin State fair last
week we noticed what was to most
people a new feature in coops to be
used in judging. These were made
open on both sides. This gives the
light full passage around the birds
and the Judges have no trouble in see
ing the specimens they are to pass
upon. without removing them from the
coops. The judges do their work on
the opposite side from the crowd,
which is another advantage Of this
arrangement. or course the birds are
taken out of the coops and handled
when necessary, in any event. With
the old style of coops, those open on
one side. there was always semi
twilight when the Judge, clerk and
owners of the birds got around them.
Then, too. it was always nuisance
to have people crowding in between
the judge and the clerk making rec
ords for him. Now these two officials
have whole row OF coops between
themselves and other interested per.
sons.

The Kiss.

We were walking home together
Through the fragrant fields of June,
In the sweet, enchanted weather
When the earth is all in tune;
Secrets in our hearts unspoken;
Over us the blue unbroken
Save where, like a lovers token,
Hung the slender, crescent moon,
Love and Hope were mine to guide me
In the scented atmosphere.
And with Beauty close beside me
Paradise itself was near;
Love was In the air: knew it:
Leaves they lisped 1t: breezes blew it:
And upon the grass in dew it ~
Mingled In the moonlight clear.
White she was-a moonlit lily
Were not lovelier to see
In it's garden boudoir Silly!
Fairer than a flower was she!
Sped. as 'twere a lyric shaft her
Lips let go. and Echo after
Followed US with melody
Echo followed-so did Cupid
Whispering along the way:
could hear them murmur: Stupid,
Why not kiss her when you may?
While the stars and moon on high light
All the world with loves own shy light ?'
Hear" my heart said, land obey!''
So took my hearts suggestion.
ana: When next l heard q sigh,
All OF love Went in question
And returned in her reply:
Then came one brief, blissful minute
With a first kiss tangled in it,
Think what luck 1t was to win it,
With a horseshoe in the sky!
