which made a very creditable showing
wining second best display, as it was
the event of the National Bantam
Association meet in which specimens
OF that variety from various parts OF
the United States were shown
1t is to be hoped that the business
men of the county and turner's will IN
terest themselves in the county exhib-
T it SO that it may be possible to in
clude the poultry exhibit with the
agricultural exhibit in November so
that it may be possible for the peo-
Fl pie of the county to see these champ
ions of the show room on exhibition,
although through fairness to the utiI-
| ity breeders of the county they should
not be placed in competition with the
birds of the farm for prizes, that may
be offered by persons who have the
/ interest Of the poultry industry at
heart This being an agricultural
county their is no reason as to why
this important industry should be neg
lected when other branches of the In
dustry are fostered and developed.
The day of standardization is at hand,
the farmer should be made to under
stand the advantage of keeping
standard breed poultry on our farms,
as the demand for uniform product
| is becoming more evident daily in our
+ city markets. The cost Of feeding a
STANDARD flock is no more than the
maintaining of a cull flock where it
E{s Impossible to have a uniform pro-
gduct to market, in SO far as the col
EoF and weight of the eggs is con-
Ecerned, as well as well as that OF the
| dressed bToiler.
