PRIZE-WINNERS AT POULTRY SHOW

List of Awards of Iroquois Poultry and Pet Stock Exhibition. Notwithstanding bad weather and the following up of the big Catholic fair, the second annual exhibition of the Iroquois Poultry and Pet Stock Association last week was a great success in the way of number and quality of exhibits if not wholly so in attendance. The association spent considerable money for coops and in other ways that will not have to be done again next year, and including such extra expense the receipts will lack from $25 to S4O of paying out. But, taken all in all, the officers are very well satisfied with the results. The show was largely attended Saturday, which helped out the financial end a great deal. Everybody spoke well of the exhibition, and the expert judge and others who have attended some of the best poultry shows ever held in the country, said that the turkey exhibit was the largest and best they had ever seen any place, excepting none. This speaks well for Jasper county, the home of some of the greatest prize-winning strains in the middle west. The chicken exhibits were also fine, and we doubt if there is another section of the country that can produce as varied and excellent pure strains of chickens as this county is now producing and finding market for all over the United States. This annual exhibition will do much to stimulate interest in the growing of fine birds and advertise the quality of strains of our poultry breeders, and the show promises to grow better with each succeeding year.
