Experiment Station Exhibit.

A large amount of literature was on
hand for distribution and general
idea of the work done at the Vermont
experiment station might be gained
from the exhibit, which occupied a
special tent. Fertilizers in all grades
and the analysis of the same were
shown in 100 different brands. The
mixed feed which is so largely sold was
shown. Some kinds were shown to be
absolutely worthless as flesh and milk
producers. The analysis and samples
of 100 different kinds of feed were
shown. Specimens of corn and wheat
damaged by rust and smut were exhib-
tied and works on the treatment of the
various diseases of the crops were to be
seen. Tn the same tent were the exhib-
its of the United States Separator com.
pany and also the Sharples separator
and Babcock butterfat tester. A dem
onstrator of Worcester salt was also in
the same tent. Large exhibits of cheese
and butter, both dairy and creamery,
were shown from various parts of the
state, the Plymouth Cheese company
showing several staple brands of its
products.

The Drawing Contests.

A feature of the first dav was the
drawing contests. A crowd of inter-
ested spectators watched the bovine
leviathans struggle for supremacy,
and although the weight-reccrd of last
year was not equalled the contestants
were so well matched that. this did not
matter In the class for oxen weigh
ing less than 5000 pounds d. t. Bar.
nard of Shelburne Falls forced his
yoke to draw a load of 1926 pounds,
defeating D. H. Wilder of Brattleboro
by 12l pounds. r. c. Ingraham was
third with a weight of 4240 to his
credit. In the $500 pound class Sam
uel Sargent of Brattleboro took the
blue when his oxen hauled the boat
loaded to the weight of 1885 pounds,
beating Ansel Dickinson of Ashuelot,
N. H. (7os6 pounds) and E. E. John
son of Cornish, N. H. (6155 pounds).
The yoke owned by w. R. Fisher of
Ashuelot, N. H., captured the 1000
pound class by drawing 1900 pounds
and managed to beat his neighbor, An
sci Dickinson, in the freefor-all with
a haul of 80 pounds more. In the for
mer class Samuel Sargent finished sec
ond at 1912 pounds while Mr.. Dickin-
son s cattle found it hard shedding with
a weight of 1907 on board. Mr. Dick
inson took second in the free-for-all,
however, his weight being 1892.

Gentlemen's Driving Glasses.

Glass five of the gentlemen s driving
class in pairs brought out five entries:
One pair of light red roans owned by
+. L. Proctor of Mortified, Mass, and
four pairs of light bays owned by +.
H. Lee of Lyndonville, VT, f. B. Bar
rett of Peterboro, N. H.. l.. T. Lowell
and Sons of Bellows Falls and w. A..
Barber of Leyden, Mass, respectively.
After viewing the exhibit, the judges
awarded the first prize to Z. H. Lee,
second to F. L. Proctor and third to F.
B. Barrett. In the single team class,
there were nine entries: W. A. Barber
of Leyden, Mass, w. j. Powers of
Brandon, VT, Henry 0. Porter of Wal
pole, N. H., J. E. Bailey of Montpelier,
+. o. Alderman of South Vernon, Con.
necticut River Stock Farm, D. Null
cahey of Northampton, Mass, E. W..
Blodgett of Brattleboro and II. A. Low
ell of Putney. After the usual show
and drive around the track, the judges
awarded first prize to the dark chestnut
gelding of J. E. Bailey, second to the
bay mare of f. w. Blodgett, and
third to H. o. Porter's dark chestnut
mare. The bay gelding of W. J. Pow
ers was especially commended by the
Judges and would have been given a
place had it not been for his extreme
nervousness on the track. The animals
as class were a good looking lot and
some good steppers were shown in the
brush In the race, Henry 0. Porter g
nag came to the fore at the finish.

Farm Machinery.

A large exhibit of farm machinery
occupied all the room in the open space
under Floral hall and overlooked into
tents and the open outside the hall.
The exhibit included about every CON
ceivable invention in the farm machine
line that human ingenuity can devise.
The largest exhibitors were the Inter
national Machine company of Chicago
and the Belcher & Taylor company
of Chicopce Falls, Mass, the latter
company having been an exhibitor at
every Valley fair for the past ten
years. The Belcher & Taylor company
had over 80 different tools among which
were corn planters, disk and smoothing
harrows, swivel, rigid and sulky plows,
cultivators, hay, root and ensilage cut
tiers, stone drag, fertilizer and seed
sewers, corn shelters and wheelbar-
rows. This exhibit was in charge of
J. II. Weeks and l.. A. Butterfeld. The
company showed gasoline
and gas engines, farm wagons, manure
spreaders and harrows N. S. Leach

and light wagons on exhibition. W, j.

There were also four aged COWS includ

youngsters. Eight Guernseys comprised
the Stratford farms exhibit in this
breed: the five-year-old bull, Imported
Maynard, was at the head of the herd
with Royal Louise and Imported Lady
Perry next to him. There was also a
pretty three-year-old, Golden Cornelia
and yearling, Maynard's Belle.
An attractive herd of II home-bred

stall of honor, next to him being Will

cows included Oneida, Fillpail and Ethe-

sleek in appearance.
Devons were well represented by the
herd of Is owned by Stockwell & Gift

Duke of Argyle, that won first money
at Buffalo exposition as a calf, made
a suitable leader of this choice collec.
ton, although he divided honors with
the two-year-old, Dark Majesty, as yet
unbeaten in the show ring. The other
sex was represented by the four-year-
old cow, Grace s., probably winner
of as many firsts as any animal on the
grounds, and Songstress ", an animal
nearly as good in quality. The remain

is of extra richness. Nine specimens
of this variety were shown by Henry
Dorrance of Plainfeld, Conn, and their

attention. Kingswill, three-year-old

QUALITY AND QUANTITY
BOTH PRESENT IN THE EXHIBIT
OF CATTLE.
Competition In the Utility Breeds
Warmer Than Ever Before-Ayrshires
and Holsteins Particularly Strong
More Exhibits Than We're Expected.

Fewer cattle were on the grounds
this year than last for the reason that
the management refused all entries
after accommodations were exhausted,
but in spite of this rule 1t was neces-
sary to erect large tent for use as an
overflow. In quality the bovine depart
ment was all that could be desired, and
the absence of several of the less com.
mon varieties was not noticeable. In
Holsteins and Ayrshires there was hot
ter competition than ever before, and
C. NJ. Winslow, who distributed the rib.
bons in these breeds, had to keep his
thinking cap on every minute.
The STAFFORD County farm of Dover,
