. success IN quality, if not in guam
tSty. We are sorry so many Of the
farmers and town poultry raisers
taaled TO accept our invitation u
'eome and bring a coop Of chickens,
bet there was quite credltable ex
hsbii and attendance. Mr. Luton
Ues one Of the first to arrive with
wagon load Of birds, nicely cooped.
and they were a beautiful lot-all
white with one exception, q grand
bsonze turkey Tom, recently shipped
fvom Denver Mr.. Linton's chosen
ireed is the White Plymouth Rock,
end two very fine. large male birds
fvun the wards Of the noted breeder.
Nr. Frank Foy of Des Moines, Iowa,
were at the head of the breeding
peas We understand that these
birds we're two of Mr. Foy's prize
winners and cost Mr. Linton a coodly
ssa. The young stock from these
Psas show that MIR. Linton knows
how to grow chickens into exhibi-
tim specimens, even here in old Gun
sissa A cross between some Of
his Rocks snd white Leghorns re-
s~lAed in sns.s tine large birds that
sAssld Dsks extra good layers. The
Plyasseh Rocks, of whatever color,
are cnDsllent fowls, either Is fan
cier's fo~l or rs the farmers utility
breed, combining beauty, large size
and eHOsllent laying qualities. The
same may be said of the Langshans,
ArpiAetons and Wysndottes Sure
ly no one in these days need breed
scrub chickens. Mr.. Linton had
large nsmber Of exceptionally fine
Pekin ducks.
Mrs. s. c. Fisher and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Anderson, who are partners
in the Sannyside Poultry Yards, had
fine exhibit, including a number
of tie noted new breed, Silver PEN
ciled Wyandottes, Partridge Wys
and Dsf Orpingtons. These ladies
are up TO date in poultry raising and
aim TO have the best. The Silver
PenciIed Wys were in perfect condi-
ton and much admired. These birds
were from the yards of George S.
Berry, Denver, who breeds the fam
Gus Cornell and Brackenbury strains.
The Partridge Wy hen was grand
specimen, IN extra large, almost per-
iectly penciled bird from the yards
of J. n. Hill, Colorado Springs,
winning third premium at that place
Jan 3. 1895. The pen Of Buff Arp
ingtons were fine large birds and the
cockerel just received from Geo. s.
Berry cost the ladies g, and will
be a fine addition to their yards.
The rest Of their exhibit comprised
a pair Of Indian Runner ducks, the
Leghorn Of the duck family for lay
ing and 3 pair of Rouens, extra
large for young ducks, and a coop
Of single-comb Brown Leghorns.
Mrs. A. Hartman, little lady who
is very enthusiastic over her Rose
comb Brown Leghorns and Barred
Plymouth Rocks, had on exhibition
only one trio of the Leghorns and
pair of Barred Rock chicks. These
latter were late hatched, and, while
giving promise of future excellence,
did not give . fair idea of Mrs. Hart
mans really fine yards. Her old
birds were late noalting and not pre-
.entable Her Rose comb Brown
Leghorns, from Iowa stock, were
beauties and in fine condition. Mrs.
Hartman promises us a wagon load
of fine ones next year
Mr.. Cheney, q breeder of Single
comb Brown Leghorns exclusively,
showed only one trio. the male bird
being a superb specimen from Den
yer 4 finer bird for size, color and
style We never saw, and we have
had the pleasure Of seeing many of
the best. This birds only fault was
. trifle Of red in ear lobes.
We know that We will have show
next year that will require more
space for . writeup than the papers
perhaps will be willing to allow us.
