GRANGE FAIR WAS
A DECIDED SUCCESS
The EXHIBITS OF POULTRY THIS YEAR
WAS LARGER AND BETTER THAN
LAST YEARS SHOW.
THE FRUIT EXHIBIT WAS FINE
NOT NEAR so LARGE AS in PAST YEARS
BECAUSE The CROP WAS PRACTIC-
ALLY A FAILURE THIS YEAR.

The Annual Grange Fair and Ba-
Zaar, held by the members of Milford
Grange, No. 6, P. of H., in ArmOry
Hall, Milford, was the most elaborate
and successful ever given by the To-
cal grangers. The bazaar was two
day affair, having started on Friday
and ending Saturday evening. The at
tendance was larger than in prev
ious years, while at the same time
the number of exhibitors increased
greatly. The main feature of the
fair was the poultry exhibit. In this
department some of the birds shown
were the equal of birds produced in
any section. AS an indication of the
high grade of birds displayed, it is
demonstrated clearly of their value
when out of a possible 1900 points,
for a pen of live birds it was no un-
common thing to see scores per pen
of 1895. For single fowl, from a pos
sible 800 points, scores ranged up to
285 points. The poultry judging was
in charge of Mr.. Vauntain, manager
of the North American Egg Laying
Contest, which is now being moved to
Milford.

it were: Barred Plymouth Rock Cock,

for turkeys exhibited was awarded to
Mrs. Williams of Oakley. Fred W.
of Lincoln, won first prize
for rabbits.
While the exhibit of fruit was fine,
It was not so large as in past years
or the reason that the fruit crop in
over Delaware was practically a
allure this year. The apples, espec-
ally were excellent. An exhibit of sec
md crop pears by Fred Whitehead, of
lincoln, came in for much comment.
The ladies of the Grange conducted a :
)ooth called the "Old Oaken Bucket" ,
1t this place prizes were given the !
ucky number dIEwers. This, like
wise, came in for much favorable COM
nent The service at the dining room \
vas fine, and the place was crowded.
The farmers should be proud of the :
showing that they madee this year. n
he move to larger hall was certain
Y to their advantage. .
