DREW 1920 POUNDS.

j. ID. Avery of Buckland, Mass, made
a killing in the contests for draft oxen,
which occupied the attention of a large
crowd throughout Tuesday and until
Wednesday afternoon. A. Dickinson's
Sons of Ashuelot were worthy foemen
and A. G. Gallup of Guilford had a fine
pair which took second money in the
light weight class. Mr.. Avery's big pair,
which won the free for all, gave an ex-
hibition pull of 1920 pounds, which is
several hundred pounds short of the
worlds record established by Mr.. Avery
on the Valley fair ground several years
ago.

We're represented by 20 classy Shrop-
shires. An individual of unusual ex-
cellence was a th~ree-year-old eve. and
a pen of three rams won many common
dations.
C. II. Marshall e Son of Vergennes,
who bring regularly to the Valley fair
more fine animals and a greater variety
of breeds than is usually found in the
entire exhibit of many fairs, brought "a
head this year, including Lincolns,
Leicesters, Cheviots. OXfords. Shrop-
shires, Southdowns and Hampshires.
The Marshalls specialize on Oxfords, and

The poultry department was again an
object lesson in good management

awards on poultry every year since the
Valley fair started, began his task bright
and early ana with several capable as
sistants had all the ribbons in the main
hall i'm place before night.
There were approximately 100 birds in
the show, and the quality of all of the
principal breeds was remarkably high,
the standard varieties like the barred
Rocks, white Rocks. Wyandottes, buff
Orpingtons, white Orphingtons, Ham
burgs and Leghorns being especially high
class.
Wood 4 Freeman of %Fitchburg and O..
w. Eggleston of I.yndonville were the
largest exhibitors. The former showed
a great variety including a big collection
of water fowls, and the latter was IA COM
petitor in numerous varieties.
Evans Brothers of Townshend are pro-
gressive breeders and their white Rocks
won much admiring attention and a
choice assortment of the awards. Some
of their Younger stock showed great
promise and will be likely to garner
many blue ribbons at the winter shows.

No herd on the grounds attracted more
or elected more favorable com
ment than did the string of Is Ayrshires
owned by Joseph Saladino of the River
side stock farm, Oxford, N. ii. These
scions of imported pure Scottish strains
showed by their smooth, sleek coats and
polished horns the care that had been
bestowed upon them. The imported
bull, Hillhouse Bonnie Scotland, headed
the herd and came here with an un-
broken record of first prize winnings the
past season. He carried off the blue
ribbon in the two-ycar-old class at OF
tawa last year. Roy o Moore of Brook

shown again and much admired. a fine

first in the two-year-old class at Otta-
wa a year ago. The other animals We're
largely young stock, including a pen of
calves which received the caresses of
women and children.
Another fine string of Ayrshires was
made up of nine head shown by Henry
DorranCe of Plainiield, Conn, an old
Valley fair patron. The thr~ee-year-old
bull, Garclaugh Blossoms Monarch, had
the position of honor. He traces back to
a COW which never was beaten in Scot
land and which gave 70 pounds of milk
a day. Nineteen Ayrshires made up an
excellent nerd exhibited by ~. q. Gallup
of Guilford, which was headed by Moon
stone of Leyden. All these animals We're

imported and Canadian stock. c. II,

Robert w Blood of Dummerston had
a herd of IA Normandy cattle that made
an interesting exhibit. They were head

Apollo
THE PLAYER PIANOy

1t touches down on the keys, some
thing no other piano player does. The
very soul of the piano lies in its keys.
The life of a composition, it's delightful
h%armonies, its variations of light and
shade. can be brought only by a down
ward stroke on the piano keys. Mel
vile Clark's Apollo is the only player
piano permitted to play directly down on
the keys, All other players cut out the
delicately balanced keys and play up
ward on the sticker of the action, dam
aging the piano and destroying the
sweetness of tone. Because the Apollo
Is the only Player Piano in the world
permitted by virtue of its United States
patent to touch down on the keys it is
the only player that plays the piano cor

Another admirable phase OF the Apollo
self-acting motor is that one lever

The exhibit of Shorthorns this year
ran more to the milking strains than to
the beef variety. Sixteen dairy Short
horns made up the herd of Avery Broth
ers. King Ferry, N. Y. These cattle
were chosen from so from the home farm
and had been in cattle shows six weeks.
Julian, a fine looking bull, was from the
DAM, Juliette, which holds the worlds
milk record for two-year-olds and three
year olds, The herd captured the
championships for both males and
females at the Syracuse, N. Y,
fair a few weeks ago. At that place

which has made a notable sweepstakes
record. The COW May Sd took first at

fi~ve-Year-old class. She never has been
beaten but once. From here the herd

HIGH CLASS CATTLE
And a Show Which Overlooked
All Available Space
Holsteins Predominated, But Guernseys,
Jerseys, Shorthorns and other Varle-
ties Made Good Showing.

With 800 animals on exhibition the
cattle department exceeded in size all
expectations. All the stalls were filled
and a tent was erected for the overflow,
although only utility breeds were shown.
Holsteins predominated with nearly 100
head, nearly twice as many as were
shown last year, and Aryshires came
next in number. Many of the animals
were direct descendants of the most not
ed individuals ever produced in their re-
spective breeds, while others claimed
distinction by reason of collateral re-
lationship. 1t was a fine exhibit, as good
as could be desired.

In Fred f.. Dow's herd of Is head of
Jerseys from Mt. Holly were found
direct descendants from the island, rep
resenting some of the finest strains.
Queens Raleigh, the bun 81 months old,
took first at the state fair this year in
the y%earling class and swept the boards
at the Rutland fair. He was a winner at
the national dairy show in Chicago last
year. Two particularly handsome i'm
ported cows were in this exhibit. Raj
eigh's Fairy Glen, half sister of the herd
bull, took 10 prizes last year and was a
sweepstakes winner this year at the
Rutland fair. Lady Emerald Buttercup,
sired by a son of Eminent, a $12.OO bull,
gave 10000 pounds of milk last year
and has yielded three pounds of butter

S. c. Severance & Sons of Leyden
showed 16 Jerseys in which was a gen
erous supply of royal blood. Pitchers
Fontaine, the herd bull, five years old,
traces back to John D.. Rockfeller's
noted herd and to famous bulls on both
sides. a fine young bull i'm the string
was Mattie's Stockwell Lad, grandson OF
the great Stockwell, which sold foi
$l1 500. The rest were COWS and young
stock. Rival, two and a half years old

Notable in the cattle department was
an exhibit of 20 head of Brown Swiss
from the Speedwell farms in Lyndonville,
owned by Theodore n. Vail, presi-
dent of the New England Telephone
* Telegraph company. They were bred
in the purple and in actual money value
probably exceeded every other herd at
the fair. This was their first appearance
at the Valley fair. and it is hoped the
may be seen here again. Springfield, a
handsome two-Year-Old weighing 1910
pounds, headed the string, succeeding the
four year-old Speedwell, who also was
shown. The COW EIirZ, which headed the
female section, gave 10, 1884 pounds of
milk in the eight months ending Sept. l.,
which made over 524 pounds of butter,
and she is now giving from 50 to 40
pounds of milk a day. She is valued at
$4,000. The youngest specimen in the
herd was a calf two days old. The Brown
Swiss are general purpose cattle and
great milk producers.
