Feature of the Show.
One OF the features of the local cI-
bibition will be the new coops of uni
form size and color, displaying only
one bird in each pen. This is the first
time this plan has been used by the
association. and as far as is known, the
first time in the city. No birds will be
displayed in groups except for educa-
tional purposes.
One or more members of the asso-
citation will be at the exhibition dur
ing all open hours to conduct visitors
through and offer explanations on the
scientific details of poultry raising and
any other information concerning the
exhibits.
For many years past it has been the
custom to bring prominent poultrymen
from the east to score the fowls dur"
ing the exhibitions in order to get some
those in the east. Practically every
eastern Judge has declared that there
are no birds in the country supe-
rior to those N Utah, but the local
poultrymen have not yet learned TO pre-
pare them ror exhibition. With this in
formation 10 work on the members Of
the local association have made bet
ter showing each year and 1t was de-
cided to have q local expert score the
birds during the exhibition this year.
