itions. One bull calf which was received
by express here was a first prize winner
at the New England fair and the New
York state fair.
Henry Dorrance OF Plainfield, Conn,
had n herd of 10 Aryshires headed by the
bull Judge Mitchell 1902, a grandson OF
Glencarin Sd, imported, one of the best
in Canada in his time, also grandson Of
White Floss, who took first in her class
at the Worlds Fair in Chicago. An eX-
ceptionally good Ayrshire COW was Molly
Eyer, who made a record last year of
9741 pounds milk, 45S pounds butter.
Other cows in this herd were qualified
for the advance registry. Mr.. Dorrance
was also owner of a herd of eight Gallo
way cattle, coal black specimens with
long, shaggy hair, headed by the regis
tered bull Kingswell 23451. The Gallo
ways give less milk than the Aryshires,
but it is of richer quality They are a
good cattle for beef and their hides are
valuable, as they make handsome robes.
The Howglen Stock Farm, John Blue
proprietor, Capleton, Quebec, made a fine
display of 10 Aryshires, with the three
year-old bull McGregor of Glenosa at the
head.
S. p Brock & Son of West Claremont
N. H., have been regular exhibitors at
the Valley Fair several years, frequently
winning with their draft oxen and sheep,
but this year they confined their exhibit
to a herd of 20 Aryshires representing
all the different ages called for in the
premium list.
The diminutive Kerry cattle-regular
Tom Thumbs in size-were from the
Forest Park Farm in Springfield, Mass.
These coal black little creatures have
everything but stature to win admiration.
There were only three specimens, bull,
COW and calf. These cattle, as the name
indicates, come from Ireland, where they
have an established reputation as pro-
ducers of rich milk. With their coloring
and spreading, highly polished horns
they present a striking appearance. The
COW weighed less than 400 pounds. The
Forest Park Farm also made a miscel-
laneous exhibit of cattle in the tent with
the Kerry liliputians.
Among the late-comers, who brought
stock from their nearby pastures directly
to the fair grounds were NJ. II. Chickering
of Chesterfield, with seven Holsteins, in
Guiding the bull Oakland Paul Mutual De
Kol and some exceptionally promising

which can get up complete fair with its
own exhibits. In addition to Superin-
tendent Roel's large display in the depart
ment of farm products, elsewhere describ-
ed, the Retreat brought to the fair for
exhibition purposes only, large tent filled
with herd of Holsteins, three bulls and
10 cows of advanced registry, eight pens
of English and Ohio Improved Chester
White pigs, bronze turkeys, white Holland
turkeys, Pel<in ducks, Toulouse geese and
wild geese.
Thomas o. Taylor of Tilton, N. H., was
the leading exhibitor of Herefords and it
was a pleasure to visitors to meet a
breeder who could talk so intelligently Of
his herd and point the development which
he aimed to reach. He had 10 animals,
all registered, with the four-year- bull
Daniel Webster, a sweepstakes winner at
the New England fair at Worcester and
a blue ribbon winner wherever he has
been shown since he was yearling at
the head. This aggregation included ami
mails Of different ages, among them two
fine aged cows, and a three-year old heifer
which Mr.. Taylor pronounced the best he
had ever raised. She weighs 1900 pounds
and in competition with all other breeds
scored first as a fat COW at the New
England fair Mr. Taylor does not make
pretensions for excellence in the dairy
line, but as representatives of beef cat
tie his Herefords would be hard to equal.
They have square backs, large barrels,
and the flesh with the cuts which delight
conoisseurs.
w. F. Richardson & Co. added as usual
to the excellence of the Hereford show
with about 20 head, among them oxen,
steers, heifers and young stock A. S. a.
Gilman of Sandwich, N. H., was a large
exhibitor of Herefords.
The old favorites, the rangy Short
horns, with a combination of good quail
tiles, had excellent representatives in the
herd of 16 specimens from H. w. Bur-
toms farm at Huntingville, p. Q. The
three year-old bull, Frosty Morning. sired
by Joel Morning, pure white animal, has
always won first in his class. The herd
included four cows, four heifers and young
stock.
The Shorthorns owned by George r
Taylor & Sons Of Shelburne, Mass, were
again conspicuous. There were 10 in theil
herd, with the famous Iowa agricultural
college bull, Columbian Crown 1Sf164, who
won sweepstakes at the New England
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1905-09-29

yearlings; r. H. Briggs of Brattleboro
with a fine collection of thoroughbred
and grade Guernseys, and E. II. Akley of
Vernon with his Jerseys which have made
notable butter records.
In the list of new faces" might be
placed the large herd of Polled Aberdeen
Angus cattle brought here by A. G. Spot
ford of Compton, Quebec. These cattle
are solid black, with long hair, and trim
and handsome in every respect. The herd
was headed by Donovan of Fairview, n
three year-old, winner OF the gold medal
at Ottawa. One Of the cows, Lady Belle
of Willow Grove, won a gold medal at
Winnipeg last year and has taken first
wherever shown.
Novelties almost in the freak class were
found in the long haired reddish Scotch
Highland cattle owned by Fred l. Grace
of Laconia, n. II. They were small, but
powerful and hardy. Their diminutive
size coloring and garb was accentuated
by their wide-spreading horns, those on

Predominated-stanle Swans In Mlnla-
ture Aquarium.

NuTe AQudTluWs
The poultry show brought together over
100 exhibitors, who made 775 entries,
showing 1911 birds in 46 varieties Some
late entries had to be refused owing to
lack of space. The Leghorns, which have
suffered something of an eclipse in some
years, were at the front in numbers, with
a particularly large showing of the SINGLE
combed and rose-combed varieties. The
barred Plymouth Rocks, white Plymouth
Rocks and bun and white Wyandottes
were also seen in large numbers, with
birds of such fine quality that they scored
high in the nineties.
Wood & Freeman Of Fitchburg were as
usual the largest exhibitors, with 202
birds, including n large variety Of ducks
and geese. j. r. Burt of Athol brought
Sc bun Wyandottes. a. Il. Davis of War
wick, Mass, had many white Wyandottes
and barred Plymouth Rocks in which any
fancier might take pride. Roy II. Buss
of East Acworth, N. H., sent several pens
of rose combed and single combed Brown
Leghorns and Minocras. A. o. Preston
OF Concord, N. H., was a hard-pusher in
the single -combed Brown Leghorn class.
The l.. NJ. Blodgett Co. of West Burke
had a large and excellent variety. NJ. ].
Corey of Springfield. Mass, had a large
list including water fowls His Silkie
chickens only a week old were among
the novelties. The Riverside Farm OF
Amherst. Mass, showed strongly with
barred Plymouth Rocks. E. d. Twitchell
of Middlebury in this class had birds which
won admiration. Rhode Island Reds were
more numerous than usual. the birds be-
ing of unusual size and good plumage.
w. j. Pentland Of Brattleboro swept the
boards with his Silver Spangled Ham

but so seldom seen, were a decided fea-

varieties, and =. b. Hadley of Barnard
eight pair of swallow pigeons. The Midget

cLAREMoNT TO THE FRONT.
F. w. Johnson's Cattle Winners In the
1000 Pound and Free-for-All Drawing
Contests.

Contests.
The athletes of the animal kingdom
struggled for supremacy through a large
part of the day Wednesday. The 5000
pound class Of draft oxen did not fill, but
the competition was keen with the
heavier weights. There were six entries
in the $500 pound class, and Samuel Sar-
gent, one of the widely known farmers of
Brattleboro, landed first money, his yoke
pulling 7135 pounds, or 265 pounds ahead
of the pair entered by ]. II. Bolton Of
Ashueot, n. II. Mr.. Sargent had an easy
win, but there was close figuring between
Mr. Bolton, Ansel Dickinson's Sons of
Winchester, and A. Ingraham of Guilford.
The other entries were STAFFORD County
Farm and F. w. Johnson OF Claremont.
Claremont came to the front in the 1000
pound class, in which f. w. Johnson of
that town had two entries. He landed
first and third, with $3.50 and $3.50 pounds
respectively, Mr.. Sargent coming in for
second with $3.50. Ansel Dickinson's
Sons, ]. II. Bolton and A. Ingraham &
Son were the other contestants.
Mr.. Johnson also took first and second
honors in the ree-for-all, his two pairs
pulling S12O and SOO5 pounds, while the
Shorthorns owned by George Cary of St.
Johnsbury, which took first against the
whole bunch at that town last week, had
to be contented with third place, their
record being 1905. Samuel Sargent, Ansel
Dickinson's Sons and ]. H. Bolton had
the other pairs in the match. 1t will be
noted that in the 1000 pound class the
drawing was greater than that in the
free for all.
