MANY SPLENDID FEATURES
BOOKED.

The greatest agricultural, live stocl
and educational event I'm the South Is
the Kentucky State Fair, the eleventh
annual celebration of which will be
held in Louisville, September 1870
next during the most beautiful and al
Turing season of the entire year.
At this exhibition will be showI
products of the mine. the forest, the
workshop and the factory. and tho
plants, art work, needle work, county
school exhibits, model dairy an6
many other entertaining and instruc
tive features.
The new features introduced for the
years fair will include the Kentucky
State Fair Futurity for saddle breo
foals of 1913, an event equal in i'm
portance and dignity to the great rae
ing futurities on the thoroughbred anc
trotting turf.
In addition TO these there are three
special saddle horse stakes, nomina
tion to which closed April 10, with the
most creditable list of entrants thai
have ever been recorded for a like
event. Horse racing, always attractive
and pleasing to the fair going public
will be on a bigger scale than ever be
fore. Recognizing the popularity OF
this sport as well as the value of the
branch of horse breeding business II
represents, the State Fair management
has offered four $1,000 stakes for this
years meeting. There will be four
teen other harness events and two OF
three running races every day. AS
the fair precedes the fall race at Doug
las Park, some Of the crack runners in
trainingsat the local tracks will doubt
less compete in these races.
There will be free attractions toe
numerous to mention, but sufficient tc
give visitors to the Fair a constant
round of novel and attractive enter
tainment.

SHOULD MILK A cow CLEAN
Operation Should Be Performed Twice
Daily and Have Periods Oivited
Even as Possible.

Probably no single cause TENDS more
to check milk secretion thar the fail
ure to remove all the milk at the time
Of milking. SAYS Hoard's Dairyman.
The presence of even a little milk in
the ducts may act as n powerful
check on the secretion OF fresh
milk. Hence the extreme Importance
of clean milking; that is. milking the
COW dry, which will be found one of
the surest and best methods of pro-
longing the milk supply.
Generally twice a day is sufficient;
and it is best to so arrange that the
period mentioned is divided evenly in
to parts. There are certain animals
which yield rather more by being
milked oftener. such cases being In
dicated by an undue distention of the
udder between milkings. The most i'm
portant part TO impress is the extreme
necessity of regularity In the time of
milking. for IL has been asoertained
BY careful experiments that the diff
ference of an hour may, and often
does. make a difference of as much
as nine per cent in. the amount of
milk yielded. Repeated Irregularities
of this kind soon tend 10 diminish the
flow of milk permanently. Weighing
the milk is the best means Of register
Ing the capabilities of cow.

ems. This variety differs from the
majority of breeds in claiming for
themselves an origin based solely on
practical considerations.
They are partly Of Asiatic blood,
but In their selection, which extends
over a period of fifty years, attention
has been paid to rapid growth and
egg production, so that the breed to-
day more nearly resembles the Leg
horns than does either the Plymouth
Rock or Wyandotte.
One fundamental difference still ex
lists that shows the Asiatic origin of
the red chicken, they being persistent
sitters.
The Rhode Island Reds do not
reproduce themselves with certainty
as to shade of color or style of comb
but in practical points they may be
considered a distinct and well-estab
lisEed breed.
In the eastern part OF the United
States are many farms keeping from
one to several thousand hens and
devoted exclusively to the production
Of poultry and eggs for the market.
The use of any breed on such farms
should be good witness of its utility.
The tabulation of the breeds used on
such plants as are shown to the
writer gives the following results:
White Wyandottes occupy first
place, being used on about twice as
many plants as any other one breed.
Single-comb White Leghorns, Barred
Plymouth Rocks and White Plymouth
Rocks follow next in order. Rhode
Island Reds, Light Brahmas, Buff
Wyandottes, Buff Plymouth Rocks,
Brown Leghorns and Black Minorcas
are the other breeds in use. Leg
horns, Minorcas and Rhcde Island
Reds are used on the egg farms,
Light Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks
on the roaster and capon plants,
while the broiler and combination
plants use Plymouth Rocks, WyaE-
dottes or Rhode Island Reds.

BERKSHIRE CONGRESS
Viii BE Held in Connection With the
Kentucky State Fair-Nine Ribbon,
Will Be Offered in Each Glass anc
Some Snowy Herds Are Assured.

AS an example of the repute wor
by the constantly enlarged and i'm
proved Kentucky State Fair celebra
ton may be mentioned the fact that
Kentucky has captured the American
Berkshire Show for 1918, and this ex
hibition will be held at the faii
grounds, in Louisville, during the com
ing celebration.
This national Berkshire exhibition
rs authorized by the American Berk
shire Record Association, and is ar
event held from year to year at some
leading state fair, the location being
selected with view TO most. generally
benefitting the Berkshire breed, and
1t is a decidedly pleasing feather in the
cap of Ken,.ckians that Kentucky was
voted the next congress in preference
TO Illinois. which has heretofore rank
ed as the state pre-eminent in ad
vantages to the showing of swine OF
all breeds, and of Berkshires in par
ticular. In fact, Chicago has always
been regarded as Mecca for the great
swine herds CT the country.
The prizes offered in the Berkshire
contest total up to s1.400, the sum OF
$500 having been contributed by the
American Berkshire Association, a like
amount by the Kentucky State Fair
management. while the balance was
donated by those interested in the de
velopment OF the Berkshire hog. AL
the leading Berkshire show herds OF
the country win enter for exhibition.
and there will be two beautiful trophies
offered by the American Berkshire
Association. one for Kentucky exhib
itors and one open to the world. Fol-
years the association trophy has been
a much coveted honor among exhib.
itors at the leading fairs and shows
of the country, and il is a foregone
conclusion that the prominence OF
Kentucky as a live stock state and the
extensiveness OF the fair exhibition

There will be nine ribbons offered
in each class. and the premium money
is so distributed that any exhibitor
with only a few good hogs is assured
OF making his expenses.
The Berkshire Congress and Swine
show Will be held in the beautiful new
judging pavilion erected last year, the
building being a model OF convenience
and perfect in arrangement IL affords
every advantage TO exhibitor and spec.
tator alike, and IL is expected that
every loyal follower of the Berkshire
will flock from every part of the Uni,
ted States to do homage to this peer.

Both in point OF numbers as well as
in general excellence IL is expected that
the Berkshire Congress at the coming
Kentucky State Fair will excel the ex
hibits of the great International EXPO
sition in Chicago.
There will also be splendid classes
of Poland China, Duroc Jerseys, Tam
