ThrOnE AisIes.

From early morn to late at night on New
Years day the ais.es at the fourth annual
poultry show OF the TRANSMIT sissippi asso-
citation were crowded with an eager throng
Of spectators, all anxious to see the
chickens and ducks and geese and p geons
which have b-en attracting 81 much atten-
ton during the week. The attendance is
running far ahead Of last year and plans
are already being made for a bigger show
next year.
Competition has been keen in most of tn
classes and the professional b eeders Of
poultry have found trey had no easy sail
ing in carrying off the ribbons The num-
Der Of poultry fanciers is increasing each
year and each year there are just that
many more exhibitors at the show. Omaha
has fared well when 1t is considered that
birds are in attendance from all tine sur
rounding states. Each year finds some new
exhibitor who has had his interest in poul-
try raising aroused BY seeing the fine Dis
play at the show, and thus the show is
spreading the gospel Of good chicken breed
ing. u
That more might see the little chicks
which were Matched at the show and VIII CHI
will b. sold Saturday night at % c-nts each,
George n. Lee has had the little fellows
left in the glass incubators instead of
changing them 10 the Breeders. More or
ders have now been received for these little
chicks ten tim $ over than there are chicks,
but these excess orders may be filled at
a later date.
