by pumping the water direct from
the wells into the tender.

visiting the exhibit of the Poultry
Breeders association of that city.
He reports that the number of birds
shown at Oshkosh is considerable less
than last year, there being only about
seven hundred as against eleven hun
dred in 1911. This big falling off in
the number of exhibits is aScribed to
the extreme cold weather. He also
reports the attendance being very
small, not exceeding that of the local
show held two weeks age. The prin-
cipal breeds of chickens shown at
Oshkosh were Plymouth Rocks, Wy
andottes and Rhode Island Reds,
among them some of the best and
highest scoring birds in the country.
