LOWELL POULTRY SHOW BEST IN THE STATE.

Total of 520 Entries Make It the Blggets and Best—Rensselaer Exhibitors Fare Nicely.

Lowell is justly proud of its poultry show which was held last week and which had on exhibition 520 entries of the highest class. The Lowell papers praise it highly, while patriotic Lowelians tell with pride that the number and quality of entries exceeded that at Lafayette and Logansport. Lowell coupled with its poultry show a butter, egg and bread exhibit that created a splendid rivalry among the women and added to the attendance.

B. D. Comer, Barred Rocks—2nd cockerel, 2d hen. B. L. Brenner, f Buff Rocks —Ist cock, Ist and 2d cockerel, Ist and 3d hen, 3d pullet.
