STATE POULTRY SHOW.
Promises to Be Better Than
Ever Before.

Announcements for the Kansas State
Poultry show, to be held in Topeka
from January IL to 16, are now out.
Preparations for the 1904 show have
been commenced under very suspicious
circumstances as the state legislature
has recognized the organization under
which the exhibition is made by making
an appropriation of 81 600 for its benefit
The success Of the shows of the past
years have given the Kansas organiza-
ton a thorough recognition over the
state and in adjoining states so that a
ready response will greet the announce
ment for the coming poultry display.
Excepting the fact that all the indi-
cations are for a much larger exhibit of
highly bred poultry this year than ever
before the show will greatly resemble
those of former years. Awards ranging
from $40 down will be paid in all full
exhibits in the poultry department. A
very full display of pigeons is expected
in which all birds will be entered singly
and in this department premiums of So
and down will be paid on displays. H.
L. Vesper will act as judge in the
pigeon department. In the pet stock
division the judges will be Mrs. Annie
E. Trap, J. J. Atherton of Emporia and
J. P. Lucas of Topeka. Premiums of
so per cent and 20 per cent of the entry
fees will be paid on the following CLASH
fications: Belgian hares, rabbits, CAVES
cats. fancy rats and mice, ferrets, cage
birds and miscellaneous exhibits.
The annual meeting of the Western
Pet Stock association, which has charge
Of this department, will occur on We'd
nesday evening, January ID. On Thurs
day evening, January IA, the State Poul-
try association will hold its annual
meeting. This will be followed by a
banquet to which all the attending
breeders are invited

TRAPPING EELS.
Peculiar Industry in Oneida River
Smoked for the Market.

A small but very interesting New
York industry which is threatening
with total extinction is the catching of
cells in eel traps in the Oneida river, at
Caughdenhoy. For many years the
residents of this pretty little village
have built their eel traps, or weirS, year
after year, without any fear of moles-
tation, but now they are face to face
with a threatened lawsuit, which, if
successful, will totally destroy their
livelihood. The fight against them is
being made by farmers living along the
river bank between Caughdenhoy and
Oneida lake, and along the western end
of the lake, who claim that the build7
ing of the traps causes a rise in the
river sufficient in many instances to
flood their low-lying lands along the
water front. The suit, if brought, viii
doubtless be against the state, as the
fishermen are permitted by law to
build these traps, but the ultimate re-
suit would be, should the suit be sue
ceSSful, that the state would forbid
their use This phase of the question
is troubling the fishermen very much,
and this can be easily appreciated when
it is stated that Caughdenhoy has been
built up practically on cells, there being
no other business in the village, except
farming on a limited scale. The fisher
men claim, and with apparent truth,
that as their traps are never over Is
inches in height, it is impossible for
them to cause a rise in the river Suff1-
cient to flood lands lying two and three
miles further up the river, let alone the
western shore of the lake. 1t is proba-
bic that the excessively high waters
of the last two years in that region
have had most to do with the flooding
of the low-lying lands.
There are fourteen of these eel traps.
valued at about $1,400, owned at
Caughdenhey, and the manner of build
ing them is as follows: Heavy stakes
are driven into the bed of the river un-
til they are just about even with the
surface during a medium height OF wa
fer. They are driven in such way
that when completed they extend from
shore TO shore in the shape of an i'm
mense W. with the open portion
facing up stream. When in this shape
it makes two traps When only one
is to be built the shape is W with
the open portion up streams A frame
work Of planks is then built around
these stakes At the two lowe tips of
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-12-18

the 'W'' small opening is left, which
is later occupied by the trap itself.
This is usually made of the lattice
work, built either rectangular or
rounded, and with the lower end of
larger diameter than the upper. From
the sides of the mouth long laths run
back into the trap, until they almost
meet in the center, leaving only
narrow opening about four or five
inches in diameter between the ends
of the laths. During certain seasons or
the year the eels migrate down stream
to Lake Ontario, and thence to the
ocean, and it is then that the fisher
men reap their harvest When the eel
reaches the side wall it follows slowly
along this until it finds a narrow OPEN
ing which seems to present a way of
escape; but upon wriggling along it a
few feet it finds itself in the large end
of the trap, with no means of escape

THE FASHION In DOGS.
London Women Paying Extravagant
Prices for Little Pets.

The fashion in dogs changes so quick
ly nowadays that it is difficult to know
what particular breed is in Ladies
are the chief movers in the matter of
canine modes, and the proverbial femi-
nine fick1eness causes much treble to
the dog dealers, who are suddenly called
upon to supply an unexpected demand
for some hitherto neglected breed
A short time ago, for instance, Jap
anese pugs were all the rage; before
then the ugly little Belgian griffons
rumored that the fashion of Charles
IFS time of carrying "arm dogs" which
has been revived by one of the leading
London actresses, will create a new de-
mand for miniature species. Mr. Will
son, the well known dog fancier and
dealer, however, says that he has heard
nothing about it.
There is always a demand for small
dogs, such as Yorkshire terriers, espe-
cially as pets for elderly ladies'" he
added, land the smaller they are the
better. But, of course, the fashionable
dog of the moment is without question
the French toy bulldog. 1 am constant

times am offered practically any sum

One novelty is the Cuban poodle. a
tiny dog about the size of a small toy
