BROUGHT $100 CUP AS TURKEY PRIZE

Emmet Pullin Won Five Firets and Three Seconds at Bronse Turkey Exhibit at Indianapolis.

Emmet Pullin, of Jasper county, unquestionably ranks at the very top of fancy poultry breeders. This fact was proven by his complete success at Chicago, Louisville and Indianapolis shows. In Chicago he did not exhibit his BronzA turkeys and at Indianapolis he did not exhibit his Barred Rocks, but whenever exhibited they simply cleaned the platter. At the Indianapolis show which was held this week he received five first prizes on his Bronze turkeys, getting first in every class in which he exhibited. He also got three seconds and two thiids. He sold at fancy prices the three pullets he exhibited and took a number of orders for eggs. v The special prize of greatest satisfaction and value was the SIOO cup, which was given him for the finest display of bronze turkeys. This cup is now on display in the A. F. Long drug store. The Barred Rock show will take place in Indianapolis next week, but Mr. Pullin will not exhibit hjs birds, for the reason that some of his most valuable ones are now laying and some ar setting. As these eggs are worth from $lO to $25 a setting he don’t care to disturb them. He has had plenty of advertising, anyway, to dispose of all the stock and eggs he cares to sell this year. His cash prizes for hfs bronze turkeys amounted to sl9.
