| PouItry-Car 6
| The exhibit of the poultry division
is for the purpose of presenting some
appliances and methods of practical
economic and sanitary value to poul-
| try men. The advantage of the three
| yards, in connection with two com
partments of the continuous house, is
especially worthy of mention. Differ
ent forms of colony houses are exhib-
tied; and there is also exhibited a
very practical and successful form of
what is called intensive house, the OBJ
ject being to keep fowls healthy and
In good laying condition while under
confinement.
The exhibit OF foods is made for
the purpose of showing those inter-
ested the nature of the different foods
so necessary for the best results. BY
studying the foods and their nutrit-
i've value one is able to compound
for himself any mixture necessary, and
at the same time can make substitu-
tions in accordance with the market
prices without in any way interfering
with the nutritive value or palatabil-
ity of the ration.

hook worms and tape worms of hui

Home Economaes-Car 7
Work done in this division and the
exhibits shown therein are intended
to be suggestive of better and easier
methods in the farm home. The fact
is recognized that the work of the
women of the farms is continued
throughout the year and that this
work can be made easier through the
utilization of labor saving devices and
the application of modern methods.
The demonstrations in this division
will be interesting to not alone the
home maker but are expected to be
suggestive of the value of manual
training in our schools.
