POULTRY SHOW.

Splendid Exhibit to Be Made at the Pun-American Exposition. In planning a great Exposition of the magnitude of the Pan-American, to be held in Buffalo next summer, where all the great industries of the United States will be represented by exhibits which will be of the best quality and character that can be produced, the wisdom of the management is shown in the magnificent preparations that are being made for the Division of Live Stock. In no line of breeding domestic animals has greater strides been made than in the poultry industry, and, while the interest taken in the Live Stock Division of the Exposition by prospective exhibitors is very encouraging, the poultrymen of the United States and Canada are manifesting an interest that is truly phenomenal. The poultrymen in the past few years have seen the industry double many times until today it exceeds in value any single farm crop: The annual sale of eggs, poultry and fancy birds for breeding' purposes in the United States and Canada exceeds $1,000,000,000. The proposed show at the Pan-American will be fully adequate to the great interests involved. The time of this show will be most propitious to the fanciers—Oct. 21-31—and the accommodations .will be all that are desired. The stables, covering ten acres, will all be devoted to the poultry and pet stock sliovt.
