AuIt's Prize White MinOrcas.

One OF the most prominent displays
at the Everett show last month was
that made by ID. V. Ault and wife III
their great exhibition of White
Minorcas. These birds of Mr.. Ault's
are surpassed nowhere, and make a
very beautiful display. Mr.. Ault says
that this strain of birds came from a
trio purchased at the American
Exposition held at Buffalo from g.
w. Jerome. From this trio he raised
65 pullets and Ia cockerels, and in
1904, II pullets and one cockerel were
brought to Washington. At the Lewis
q Clark Exposition, he won first and
third hen, and first pullet. At the
Minorca Show in Tacoma in 1909 they
made Il clean sweep in three classes,
and were announced by the Judge to
be the best White Minorcas he had
ever judged. At the A. Y. z. they
made a clean sweep winning from one
to three in each Of five classes, and
won the silver cup given by the Inland
Poultry Journal At Everett, they
won first, second, and third pens;
first, second and third hens; first,
second, and third pullets, and first
cockerels. Mr.. Ault says that he
never sells any of his birds, and the
ony way to get this strain is by buy
ing the eggs. Since November he
has sold one hundred cockerels. His
great bird, Crystal King, was QUE of
the greatest attractions in the Everett
show.

Show.

PORTLAND, Ore, January, 8-One
graced the pens of tie National Mid
winter Sheep Show held in connection
with the National Woolgrowers' con-
ventlOn, which has been in session
since last Wednesday in Portland.
These sheep shows are annual events
with the woolgrowers when they hold
their convention and invariably attract
the best sheep herders of the United
States. 1t was the opinion OF such
men as DR.. James Withycombe, of
Corvallis, and F. W. Harding, of
Waukesha, Wis, that the. show held
in Portland contained the finest sheep
ever gathered together in America.
Especially was this true in the long
wool class Of the Cotswold breed
Royal winners of England were enter
ed in competition with the Oregon
bred yearling ram and it was easy to
win the grand championship.
The lower floor of the Armory was
cut into $50 pens to provide for The
accommodation of the large number
of exhibits.
SHEEP EQUAL TO EUROPE'S
In the Rambouillet breed there were
exhibits by the Buttertield Livestock
Company, of Weiser, Idaho. The
Rambouillet is native of France and
Germany. He is a remarkable look
ing animal, to those not acquainted
with sheep and the ram carries large
horns, superbJy curved. In the judg-
ment of the scorers these sheep we're
the equal of any to be found in
Europe. r. H. jackson, of Dayton,

class. In the Lincolns the Cloverdale

specimens. Out of the show, which

The attendance during the four

asked, although being a comparatively

the general public to appreciate the
