Pet Stock and Poultry to be
Featured at Coming State
Fair Held in Milwaukee
EXHIBITS FROM MANY STATES

Entries already received for the
feather and the pet stock show at the
Wisconsin state fair, Milwaukee, Sep
TENDER 5 to u, surpass all records for
such exhibitions in this state. There
will be thousands of the best bred do
mestic fowl from all parts Of the
United States and Canada
While some noted breeders are
bringing car load exhibits, the most
gratifying feature to the management
of the fair is the large number of
small exhibits of standard bred birds
by Wisconsin farmers, indicating that
Badger agriculturists are developing
the poultry industry with the same
thoroughness that characterizes their
activity in dairy pursuits. Small ex-
hibits are welcome and the manage
ment makes special and careful ar
rangements for the care of birds not
attended by their owners. Practically
every kind of standard bred fowls are
represented in these small exhibits.
Entries are being received daily and
only small amount of space remains.
E. G. Roberts of Fl Atkinson will
bring car load of specimens, num-
bering more than FIVE hundred birds
and representing various standard
breeds. w. F. Hoyt of Whitewater
will bring more than four hundred
English and Canadian fowls. Boots
and Stier of Sussex will devote more
than one hundred feet of space to the
display of all standard breeds OF ban
tams. Among other well known poul-
try men, many of whom will show as

Cook, Racine, barred rocks and black
langshans; H. White of Marshall,

holder Of Appleton, white orpingtons;

fowl division to exhibit q large num-
Der of imported geese and ducks, in
Guiding many prize winners of the
large eastern shows. The Dawson's

Egyptian geese.
Nearly all of the Milwaukee lofts
and many from other cities of the
state will be represented in the pigeon
division, while Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois each will contribute several hund.
red birds.
In the poultry supply rooms will be
displayed every up to date invention
for the care of fowls and the saving
of labor to poultrymen.
"The poultry department will be
able to offer for public inspection the
largest and best display of practical
and ornamental fowls that ever has
been brought together in this state,
says Mrs. AIDA F. HOWE, superinten-
dent of the department and only wom-
an member Of the board. g Among tie
applicants for space are many new ex-
hibitors, while the better competition
will come better prepared than ever
before to carry away the various col
ored ribbons. One of the features that
pleases me most is the large number of
small exhibits of splendid fowls by
Wisconsin farmers
