the leading breeders throughout the
country. As a testimonial to the

show in Louisville his birds won
eight ribbons out Of ten entries; at
the Music Hall show in Cincinnati.
his birds won fourteen prizes out Of
a possible nineteen.
The Dixie Poultry Farm is the
best equipped farm Of this character
in Kentucky. accommodating nearly
one thousand birds. Every bird on
the farm is trap-nested and a COM
