BIRDS OF FINE FEATHER
STATE POULTRY SHOW TO BE
HELD IN ST. PAUL.
Date Is Feb. 8, Under the Auspices Of
the Minnesota Fanciers' Asso.
citation. Special Premiums.

st. Paul, Jan. 27.-The largest poul-
try show to be held in the northwest
Twill open Feb. 3 in the Dyer building
% and q West Film street. The
sixth annual exhibition by the Mime
sofa Fancier's association will be held
after most of the other chicken shows
in this part of the country are over
| and the best birds in smaller exhibi-
| tons will be brought to ST. Paul. All
ready entries are in for birds from
Iowa, Wisconsin and the Dakotas The
demand for entry blanks leads the
officers of the association to expect
birds than they had last year.
The Minnesota fanciers when they
organized adopted the comparative
method of Judging chickens and wnl ad :
here to the same method this year.
This is the system by which the birds
in the largest Eastern shows are iudg.
ed. Detroit will adopt the same plan
this year. No score card is used, but
the birds in a particular class are
judged by each other and the best pick
ed for first place. The poultry Judges
vii be Sharp, Butterfield and John
Osmundson, with Herman Osthoff as
pigeon judge.
The entry lists close Jan. 81, and all
birds must be in place on the open
ing day of the show. Birds which in
the opinion of the judges are consid-
cred unworthy will be returned. Ex-
hibitors who enter birds in pens need
not specify which birds they enter.
The judges will take the best male
and four best females and enter them
for the pen prizes.
A large list of prizes has been di-
vided among various classes. The
money awards will be paid on or be-
fore the last day. Prizes of S. and
$40 are offered for birds in twelve
classes. Three prizes are offered for
the exhibitor outside Ramsey county
who has the largest number of birds.
Similar prizes are given on the same
conditions for exhibitors of this coun-
ty. Special premiums are offered for
the best display of named varieties:
In addition to the prizes offered by
the association a long list of prizes
is offered by various clubs over the
country for the best bird entered in
the class which is specially fostered by
the club. The American Buff Plymouth
Rock club offers four prizes for the best
shaped and colored buff Plymouth Rock
chickens.
The officers of the Minnesota associ-
alton are: President, Nicholas Stronck,

GAIN IN DAIRY PRODUCTS
INCREASE IN EIGHTEEN COuN-
TIES IS 2,4oo, 900 POUNDS.
Secretary Wall Of the State Dairy and
Food Commission Hands Out
Some Interesting Figures.

st. Paul, Jan. 23.-W. w. Wall, sec.
rotary of the state dairy and food
commission, has prepared COM
parative statement showing the
growth of the dairy industry in the
state.
The statement covers the butter
produced in eighteen counties and
shows the loss and gain in prOduc-
ton in each county. A net gain of
about 100000 pounds, which at %
cents a pound, a fair rated in 1906,
as compared with 1904. The total
production for 1906, as shown by the
departments reports, was S6,2l7,727
pounds, which at % cents pound,
a fair average price, would bring to
the producers $2l,554, 43l.75. In that
year the farmers received for the but
ter fat contained in the cream brought
by them to the creameries Sl6,l7O,-
720.l3, leaving profit to the cream
cries of $5,3S3,7lll3. Out of this
amount $2,6l4,299.93 was paid for
running expenses of the creameries,
leaving $2,769,4ll.69 to be used for
permanent improvements and paid out
to the stockholders in dividends.
The advantage to the farmers of
the cooperative dairies over the cen
trail plants, Mr.. Wall points out by
comparison of the average price paid
the farmers for butter fat in Mime
sofa and in Kansas, where the central
plants control the situation. In Min
nesota, the average price paid was
2246 cents, and in Kansas 2G.49
cents. In addition to the higher price
paid for the butter fat, the farmers
in Minnesota received large sums in
dividends from the cooperative cream
cries.
The following table shows the loss
and gain in butter production be-
tween 1904 and 1906. 1t will be no
ticed that all of the counties men
toned, except Mile Lac, Morrison
and Beltrami are in the southern
part of the state, and that Martin /
alone shows n larger gain
than the combined loss in the conn /,

the Union remarking as he entered
the door:
"This is a printing office?" Being
informed it was, never looked up but
kept right along scratching away on
this pad for dear life.
"What horse power is your en-
gine?"
Out into the engine room he shut
fed scratching away.
"Say, who do you represent any
how?" we ventured to ask.
Nobody, sir, I am making a new
map of rating for the insurance COM

"What kind of location do you
think this office is?" we begged to
be informed.
"All by yourself" he curtly re-
piled. Out the door he went on to
the next victim.
The rates would be the same if
we were in the center of ten acre
tract. Just SO many mouths to feed,
you know.

were buried in the same grave.
Memorial services will be held at
Salem church Sunday morning.
1t has been clearly demonstrated
that Rees Thomas attempted to start
the fire in the heater with gasolene
instead of kerosene, as the gasoline
can was found and was badly shat
tered.
Prior to his escape from the house,
Will Thomas tried to remove a trunk
which contained over $500 in cash. He
attempted to break a hole through
the wall of the shack, but could not
accomplish his purpose. The remains
of the trunk were found about six
feet from the bed where the young
men had been sleeping.

Cincinnati May 2s.-The Times

of Secretary Taft, is editor and pro-
prietor, says that in the event that
Secretary Taft is nominated for pres
ident the secretary will have his per-
sonal headquarters in Cincinnati at
the Sinton hotel. All the details for
this have not been decided on, nor, of
course, will they until after the con-
vention at Chicago has spoken. The
tentative arrangements do not con-
template Secretary Taft coming to
Cincinnati until about September, nor
will headquarters in the Sinton hotel
be opened until that time. The action
will be taken with the thorough un-
derstanding and approval of the Re
publican national campaign committee
and does not In any way affect the
regular campaign headquarters. Sec
retary Taft's decision is merely in line
with his desire TO be in his home city
during the campaign.
