800 BIRDS EXHIBITED
Nearly Every Part Of Vermont and
Parts Of New York and New Hamp-
shire Represented at Poultry Show

St. Adams, Jan. N.-The 22nd annual
exhibition OF the Vermont State Poultry
association opened at the City Hall to-
day with an excellent display of all the
popular breeds of poultry. Nearly every
part Of Vermont and sections of New
York and New Hampshire were repre-
sented.
There are about 800 choice birds. in
Guiding all classes of the standard utility
breeds. While there are not as many
Barred Plymouth Rocks as usual. those
that are entered are very fine speciments
There also is very good display OF
Black Orpngtons. The Buff Wyandottes
probably will have highest competition
as there is an unusually largo number of
competitors. The Buff Rock exhibit is
not as large in numbers as is the case
of many other specimens. but some ex-
cellent birds are here from the Boston
show Of last week. There are more Black
Langshans shown this year than in any
previous show. The LegAorns show
variety. among them being a fine string
of single combs. exhibited by ]. +. Flans-
burg Of Manchester, N. H.. and rose
comb Brown Leghorns by II. A. Brush
& Son Of Milton. Another important
display is that OF the single comb Rhode
Island Reds and Light Braham Bantams.
A new feature of the show this year
is the utility department which was in
stituted upon recommendation of the
United States government. 1t is hoped
that this department will help to foster
the poultry industry, especially the pro-
duction Of eggs.
There is very good display Of poul-
try feeds and poultry appliances, also
Of dairy rations.
Prof. II. A. Leggett, n poultry husband
man of the State Agricultural College,
