BEST TURRET SHOW IN THE WORLD SAYS JUDGE.

H. A. Pickett, of Greentown, Finds the Best Turkeys of the World at the Rensselaer Poultry Show. William Hershmau’ has the best turkeys in the world and If it were not for him Emmet Pullins would hold that .distinction, at least that is the opinion of H. A. Pickett, of Greentown, Ind., ~the Judge of the Rensselaer Poultry Show. Mr. Pickett is a man of wide experience in his business and was a judge at the recent St. Louis show, where Mr. Hershman’s turkeys were successful. He also was an attendant at the Chicago poultry show, where Mr. Pullins won first prize with his fine turkey, Chicago Boy. Both of these gentlemen live in Jasper county. Mr. Hershman resides In Walker township and Mr. Pullin In Barkley. Their birds met here in a comparison show, and Mr. Hershman won the first prize on a tom turkey, his entry being quite a little better then Mr. Pullin’s Chicago Boy, which is the father of the Hershman bird. There were never a finer lot of turkeys together, according to Mr. Pickett. He also regards the quality of all e: tries in poultry very high. Fine barred rocks, white rocks, buff rocks, langshans, wyandottes, brahmas, minorcas, leghorns, oppingtons and Rhode island reds are of high quality and the show In every respect indicates the progressive interest In poultry »n Jasper county. Mr. Hershman will exhibit his birds in Indianapolis, and will doubtless win many prizes.
