some very fine horses here, both in the
Morgan line aud standard bred, but
must say that / hardly think sufficient
attention is given BY the judges TO the
pedigree Of the Morgan horse, as regards
the strains Of blood. There Is more
than one type 81 the Morgan horse.
There is the Black Hawk strain and
the old Ethan Allen strain, which differ
materially from each other, aud COM
slider these things important. Think
perhaps premiums might be offered for
each type by itself. This has been d
very fine exhibit IN an respects"
T. G. H. Davis, manager Of +. a. Oar
lings farm in East Burke. Vt. said:
"There are some things perhaps in the
conducting Of the fair, which might be
changed for the better. The Morgan
horse showing was the best ! ever saw
in oil New England, and the largest.
We are working mp. There was "A time
when we went backward in the breeding
of horses. The thing is changed, and
we are coming up. Some things | do
not understand as, for instance, / was
sent to the barn with Betsey and Carrie,
span OF Morgan mares for which we
have been offered $1,000 and who never
failed to get q premium, but ! took out
\ Coldie and Eva II, the private drivers
OF Mr.. Darling and who have never be-
fore been on the track, and came back
with the blue. OF course, the fair is yet
in its infancy and all things will inn
prove. Would have two classes or types
Of the Morgan horse, or at least try Il.
I Tho fair exhibits were fine and instruct
i've to the young. ] like the idea Of
the young trying their powers OF judg-
ing
j. G. Krimer of StetlersviIle, Pa, a
poultry breeder and who had exhibits,
was next interroQated. "Nes, sir ! am
breeder and dealer IN fine birds, said
he. II have made exhibits 90 twelve
fairs this season, among them Pennsyl-
vania state fair and the state fair Of
New York. The fun exhibit in the
poultry department was seven thousand,
AZ large number rs az the fairs mem
toned and as good stock. Was judge
in some Of the classes in which 1 had
no exhibit and think this exhibit was
one OF the finest I ever saw. IL should
encourage the boys to take up this
work
o. W. Egglcstone, Lyndonville, VT,
said. "Am usually an exhibitor at
poultry showsi Yes have attended
several this fall, botssin the state and
out of Il. This IS thr best and largest
show | ever saw. The premium for the
best collection Of fowls owned IN the
state was given 70 me, and I also)took
the Meilen prize OF eight dollars for the
best pen OF partridge wyandottes. We
I Yermonters have TO content ourselves at
present IN raising only staple stock, but
the poultry business Is improving in Ner-
mont These fairs are one thing that
Is doing It. The state should encourage
is fair and appropriate funds Tor its
needs. The buildings need to be i'm
proved in appearance and convenience.
