The cattle department is especially
full and there are fine exhibits in
the classes of Durhams, Holsteins, Ayr

tie with cows, oxen and steers of the
various breeds. William c. Hack of
Orwell is director of this department,
Watson c. Sturtevant, of Weybridge,
superintendent, and John H. Mead of
West Rutland, judge.
Mr.. w. |. Browns exhibit of grains
and grasses from Idaho, proved very in
teresting to large number of visitors,
as showing the crops that can be grown
on the irrigated lands of that state.
The main point he emphasized was,
that with irrigation, such crops could
be raised every year and the profits go
to the farmers bank account instead of
back on the land.
The exhibits in the Poultry depart
ment equally surpass those of former
years. There are fully fifty per cent
more fancy strains shown than ever
before. Shelburne Farms presents the
| largest entry. In this lot are to be
found such strains as Plymouth Rock,
Leghorn, Wyandotte. Cutler & Morris
of Peterboro, N. H., show a large
assortment of Bantams of the Silkie
and Silver Gray varieties.
In this department is to be found a

the list as the largest exhibitor. Geese
of the Toulouse, African, Emden and
Wild varieties are shown. George S.
Farr of Bristol is the superintendent of
this department.
In the Swine department, of which
Watson c. Sturtevantis superintendent,
are Chester Whites, Poland Chinas and
Berkshires.
The Horse department, under the
supervision of J. Edwy Buttolph of
Middlebury, is especially strong this
year, being greatly strengthened by
the special prizes offered by the Morgan
Horse Club. Besides the large display
of Morgans, there are fine exhibits of
trotting bred mares and stations, draft
horses and matched and single driving
horses. A grand exhibition of the
Morgans took place on the track
Wednesday morning at nine O'Clock for

In Horticultural Hall one of the most
interesting exhibits is that of the State
department of forestry, under the su-
pervision of H. B. Hall, superintendent
of the State nurseries at Burlington.
In this exhibit are Scotch Pine, White
Pine and Norway Pine seedlings of two
years growth, and there are also pho
tographs and diagrams showing the
work being carried on by the forestry
department.
The Grange contest, which is being
carried on in Horticultural Hall, brings
to the attention of those outside Addi-

Spirited Contest For Meeting.
There promises to be a good natured
but spirited contest over the place Of
holding the next years convention.
Mason City Cedar Rapids. and Sioux
City are seeking the convention. The
sentiment of local members. from what
can be learned. favors Mason City, and
next to Mason City Sioux City. This
is done because one convention has
been held at Cedar Rapids. and the
members believe that the meeting place
should be changed as often as possible.
May Use Club Rooms.
An effort is to be made by the direc-
tors of the association to secure the
use of the Marshalltown Club rooms
for the convention here. II is believed
that the commercial club directors Will
be glad TO give the use Of the rooms.
