and to the right OF the main walk
through the ground are located the
large dining-room, automobile truck
and farm machinery displays. Here
is shown the most up-to-date equip
ment in farm machinery to be found
anywhere.
THE successful farmer Of today,
said one dealer, uses less hand
power and more machinery than did
his ancestors, and our experience
has shown that he not only makes
more money but makes it much
easier than did his father" How
ever that may be labor saving de-
vices of every description for farm
work are to be seen here, and are
attracting much attention.
Immediately back Of the grand
stand Is large dining hall, and
meals are served at all hours of
genuine home cooking. abundantly
served and at reasonable prices.
Forty-three head of registered
cattle are to be seen in the large
cattle barn. The Jerseys and Hol-
stein Friesians as usual attracted
considerable attention. But the beau
tiful Hereford cattle from the Buck
Run farm at Mortonville, Pa, own
ed by Lamotte DUPONT, were by far
the leading attraction in the cattle
exhibit.
The chicken exhibit Is especially
fine, Sussex and Kent counties pro-
ducing some OF the finest grades Of
fowl to be seen anywhere. The
poultry house was filled most OF the
afternoon by admiring crowds who
talked knowingly Of the merits Of
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island
Reds Leghorns. etc. The exhibit
consists of most every variety of
chicken to be found ranging insize
from the stately Orpington to the
strutting Bantam. other exhibits
here consist of geese. guinea pigs,
pigeons and rabbits. In this build
ing the American Railway Express
Company has a miniature express
car and various kinds OF egg ship
ment crates. for the purpose OF
demonstrating the right and wrong
ways Of shipping eggs.
The hog exhibit attracted consid-
erable attention yesterday. Ar
ranged in cemented stalls. porkers OF
every description we're to be seen.
One OF the hogs on exhibit died yes
terday afternoon from the intense
heat in spite of the efforts of a
veterinarian to save it. The ami
mai was a beautiful specimen of the
Poland China hog, owned by A. J
Craig, OF Wyoming. and said to have
been valued at more than one hun
dred dollars.
