by the large number of Leghorn
breeds. The Rhode Island Reds are
not so plentiful this year as they
have been in years past but this Is
only due to circumstances. Approx
imately 1900 birds are on exhibition.
These are owned by about 40 differ
ent poultry raisers.
Probably the largest exhibitor Is W.
F. Worcester of Old Orchard. Mr..
Worcester is proprietor of the Worces-
ter Poultry Yard and is showing about
$50 birds this season. All Of his dis
play is fancy stock and there are many
kinds.

Drinlwater of Sabattus have each
about 100 bords, and F. E. Field of Au-
burn Is showing about the same num-
Der. Another exhibitor is Frank Gill
bert of Pennington.

birds. Appearance, weight, size and
other qualities are decidedly favorable
