CAUSES OF MANY FAILURES
Endeavor to Save In Expenses by
Cheapenino Cost Of Houses and
Space 10 Enumerated.

The Illinois station gives among
the causes Of failure In the poultry
business the following:
Endeavoring to keep too many
fowls where room for one only can
be obtained. that is saving In ex-
penses by cheapening cost of houses
and space.
Buying fowls from other farms and
thus bringing disease and lice into
the fiocks.
Overlooking. the fowls being sup
piled with greater abundance under
the superstition. the more feed the
more eggs.
Cold draughts over the fowls at
night, with view to supplying fresh
air, when the temperature is low.
Wasting time with sick fowls In
stead OF destroying all birds that can
not be cured quickly.

the best of the state fairs and exposi.
lions of the country. II has very just
ly become known as the largest hoi So
show in the world. II is the only fair
which offers a full quota and CLASH
flcation for breeding classes Of the
three great breeds Of American
horses, as we'll as show classes, sim
plified and arranged in manner
which makes their distinction clear.
Pitched on a larger and more extern

certainty of increased interest on &C.
count Of various added features. this
years fair promises to eclipse all pre-.
vious records.
Numerous additions and improve
ments have been made in the matter
Of show rings, and amusements have
been secured Of kind and to an ex-
tent that justify the belief that the
fair will not only prove more valuable
than ever to the live stock interests
of Kentucky, but also more attractive
to those who visit 1t. In addition to
the weanling and yearling divisions
Of the great Saddle Horse Futurity.
three stakes are offered In the show
classes for saddle horses.
Attractive Program Each Day.
One of the most attractive pro-
grams for the week will be on We'd

In addition to the cash premiums
offered, seasons to the leading horses

Thoroughbred Saturday.
Saturday is always known as Thor
oughbred day, when we see rings
which bring together many Of the
most noted thoroughbred horses from
the greatest nurseries in Kentucky.
The afternoon program is one OF
the most interesting Of the entire
week, as 1t includes all championships
in which final contests occur between
winners of the individual classes dur
ing the preceding day of the fair. The
rule governing these classes requires
all animals eligible to show in these
rings. or forfeit money won in the
previous shows, and this rule will be
strictly adhered to. thereby assuring
large fields and affording the public
the opportunity Of seeing the winners
brought together.
The week promises to be not only
a gala one in Lexington. but a record
breaking one In the history Of the

lished in Washington by the National
Gamers Association will be complete

fore that time 1t will be doing practical
work toward the solution Of the problems
confronting the Gamers and the public
dependent upon them for food. This is
the first laboratory ever established in
this country by any trade organization
for the purpose of scientific research
work. The results of this research will
not be confined to the members OF the
association. but will be published so as to
benefit every individual Gamer and the
general public. The work will pertain to
the increased sanitation of canneries az

goods from the standpoint of flavor and
wholesomeness.
In addition to experimental research
for which the laboratory is primarily
established. a commercial department
