The blackbird, which belongs to tho

trained, and when reared by hand
from the nest is capable Of forming
strong attachments and makes itself
great favorite.
When blackbird is six or eight
weeks old, his training should be be

trying to earn it. When once he has
learned the tune ne will never forget
It, and it viii pass into and become a

After the blackbird has completed

FAULKNER COUNTY
 WINS FISRT PRIZE
CENTRAL ARKANSAS COUNTY CARRIES OFF BANNER FOR
 FINEST COUNTY EXHIBIT. .
Saline and Conway Followed Close and all Counties Had Meritor-
 ous Exhibits.

Faulkner county is the banner az
 ricuNural county of Arkansas, accord
 ing to the awards of the judges in the
 competition for the collective county
 exhibits, and to the observer 1t would
 seem that Faulkner was well entitled
 to the honor although several counties
 ran her a close race for the honor.
 Saline county, especially, with her principle exhibit on the first floor and
 an auxiliary exhibit on the second floor, had the judges guessing as be- tween it and the leader for first
 honors, and Conway, Jefferson and others also had look in for the ban. ner.
 There were 51 county exhibits in az ricultural hall, aside from the big Northern Pacific exhibit and the indi- vidual and other state exhibits, and altogether the showing was by far the greatest and grandest ever made at state fair.
 1t Is only a forerunner of what will be exhibited in coming years, now that the counties have awakened to the importance of the state fair as a central exhibit where the best from Arkansas can be shown after having been exhibited in the home county l fair.
 The agricultural exhibit this year has attracted more attention than in any former year of the fair. and the | resources of Arkaasas have been more fully exploited and brought to the at tentlon of the public than ever in the history of the state.
 As to the size of the agricultural exhibit compared with other years, it might be stated that while the same | number of efficient judges were on duty to adjudge the awards, they had not completed their work last night, although they had been busily engag- ed every minute of the time since the state fair opened.
 This year the state fair offered eight special prizes for county exhibits ranging from $150 and an emblem
 down to s2O, and the winners of these special awards were as follows: First-Faullzner county, $125. Second--Saline county, $100. Third-Conway county, $S0. | Fourth--Jefferson county, $60. Fifth--W Washington county, $50. Sixth-Columbia county, $40. Seventh--Benton county, $25. Eighth--dlogan county, $20 Another year it is expected tha;
 the stimulus given county exhibits will see every county in the state rep | resented with a county fair and with collective county exhibits at the state fair. There was keen competition this year, and next year those who failed 10 land a prize this year will no doubt redouble their efforts to get in among the prize winning agricultural coun- ties of the state.
