his Rhode Island Whites at the show.

for nine years. They are, every one,
outstanding and of excellent body
formation, and resembling somewhat
the White Wyandottes, except that
they are larger and taller.

five or forty pounds. They are splen-
did specimens and it is said a great

turkeys and ducks. Some pigeons are
also shown.
Another feature of the show are
the entries Of boys and girls, they
seeming to favor the Barred Rocks.

horns and Rhode Island Reds.

under the auspices of the association
and is well worth seeing by the peo-
pie of Bemidji and the entire county

tary coops. Harry Olin, agricultural
