POULTRY SHOW AT STATE FAIR

". II. Stratton, secretary Of the
tar Association, recently announced
that, IN keeping with the increased
value Of Southwestern poultry pro.
auctions, the State Fair of Texas
would materially increase the pre-.
mlums offered annually for poultry
EXHIBITS. and this announcement is
followed by the statement that a di.
VISION has been created for pigeons.
and that special building is being
constructed TO house the exhibits in
this new class. Better facilities have
likewise ben. provided for the ex.
hl0its Of ducks, and a large duck pond
Is now IN course Of construction.
In the main section of the poultry
division increased space has been al.
lotted for the exhibits of all standard
and utility breeds, and present indi.
cations are that each breed will have
large following. Numerous requests
FOR entry blanks have been received
from the premier poultry fanciers Of
the Southwest, and there is every
reason TO believe that the best and .
biggest poultry show ever seen in the .
South will be part of the 1916 State
Fair of Texas.

A Coming Cattle Boon,

certain in this world, but re nearest
thing to a commercial certainty is
that cattle and hogs will command re
munerative prices for five years to

Quoted this year under the direct
personal supervision of a member of
the United States Department of

commercial cars and trucks will be
of interest to many farmers. During
the past three or four years many
farmers in all parts of the country
have found profit in a suitable car

market, and several factories have
specialized in cars suitable for this

Many Tractors to Be Shown.

farmer of today is vitally interested |
IS Power Farming, as practiced with |
the various types of Tractors now

given this subject deep thought has
become convinced that tractors are a
paying investment particularly
where the acreage is large.
Nearly all Of the popular types OF
tractors will be seen at the 1916

ful collection of individuals ever seer
in one herd. In fact, it is the only
considerable collection now owned in
this country and is expected to be
one Of the most interesting features
Of the 1916 State Fair.
The Dexter a Profitable Animal.
The Dexter is a representative Of
the diminutive Irish cattle that are
worid-famous for producing meat and
milk Of exceptional quality, Though
lis origin is clouded in obscurity, il
is probably a member of the ceie-
brated Kerry family of cattle, as the
two breeds have many common char.
acteristics. Its small size, and pro.
portionately small cost of production,
should warrant the interest Of Amer
lean cattle raisers, especially when II
is considered that the Dexter is a
prolific producer of high quality milk,
and that its meat will compare most
favorably with the breeds now high
est in the favor of American stock.
men.
The small size of the Dexter will be
realized when the statement is made |
that famous bulls of the breed have
weighed, at maturity, about 500 |
pounds-with the cows scaling con.
siderably less figure. The average
adult stands about SO inches high and
is sturdily and eompactly built, show
ing great depth of rib and general ,
"beefiness."
Bevo Ponies to Be Shown.
In addition to his Dexters, Mr..
Busch will show his world-famous
stable of Bevo ponies. These Won

America. They are all of one size,
