8tste Fsls Poultry Show.

The poultry show at the Missouri
State Fair at Sadalia, August 2l-26,
promises TO be the greatest within the
history Of the state. At the last exhibit
ton. the magnificent poultry building,
erected to accommodate $500 birds, was
filed far beyond ito capacity. -Four
thousand birds were on exhibition, and
when in place, the aisles were made 80
narrow that il was difficult for the
public to pass through and view the ex.
hibit. This season . new poultry build.
ing Is being erected, 80 fleet by 100 feet.
with ample room for 5 1000 birds, and the
indications are that this commodious
structure will be filled to the extent Of
Ito capacity. The union Of the two State
Poultry Associations and the harmonious
action which has followed, assures a dis.
play Of Missouri birds. Extensive breed.
ere from other states have spoken for
space. Expert judges have been employ
ed. Mr.. Miller, the superintendent, will
have assistants who will care for all birds
whose are moi present. Feed will
be furnished free of charge. Express
companies will deliver all c%onsignments
to the poultry building. The best breed.
ers in the United States will be represent.
ed. The poultry show alone will pay for
a visit to the State Fair.
