FARMERS SHOULD BE POULTRY
KAISERS.
Editor The Citizen:
In view of the fact that the rais
ing of poultry has become so Im
portant an industry in the United
States, standing sixth as an Individ
ual business. It surely Is to every
farmer's Interest to take It into
greater consideration, and If possi
ble reap some of the benefits that
are bound to come to the careful
poultry man and woman. It is
said again and again by farmers that
dollar for dollar Invested in cows
or chickens gives the best return.
If that be true, then just widen out
a little and increase your profits.
We wish to appeal to everyone in
terested and urge an attendance at
the Wayne County Fair without fall
and see for the first time in the his
tory of the county a real live poul
try exhibit. The secretary of the
Wayne County Poultry and Pigeon
Association reports the expectation
of from 700 to 1000 birds on ex
hibition. The Agricultural Society have
turned over, for the use of the
Poultry Association, the largest build
ing in which will be seen some of
the finest fowl ever exhibited in the
county. Birds that the owners
thereof would refuse to accept ?1D0
apiece. The feeling in the past, on
the part of Wayne county poultry
men and women, has been that they
stood no chance with outside exhibl
tors or jobbers who might come in
with almost a carload and sweep the
deck. There was possibly some rea
Bon for feeling, but let me say, that
this year there Is to be a decided
change. Tne exhibit will bo gov
erned by a classification, according
to the American Poultry Association
Standard (see premium llBt). The
general exhibit Is open to tho world,
and whoever has the best bird or
birds will win, but on the other
hand, there Is now a chance for our
local breeders. The Wayne County
Poultry and Pigeon Association of
fer a good many special prizes to
be competed for by the members of
the Poultry Association, and mem
bership in the same Is restricted to
residence in the county of Wayne.
See papers of next week for list of
special prizes. Get your birds in
shape, and come on and win some
of those specials. At any rate do
not fail to see the poultry exhibit
and meet some of the leading poul
try experts of the county who will
1)0 right on deck all the time. This
very fall is the time to either build
a new poultry house, right up-to-
date, or overhaul the old one, and
then place an order for some of the
stock which will be shown at the
fair, or for eggs for early spring
hatching. Get rid of the mixed
flocks and carry only some thorough'
bred goods. One of the most able
poultry judges in the United States
is engaged for the fair. I think Mr.
Henry Trafford, of Binghamton, N.
Y., editor of Poultry Success, about
the best poultry Journal published.
Send your dollar to Mr. W. A. Wal
ford, of Hawley, who is secretary of
the Poultry Association, and become
a member and help the good work
along.
If you want to see something up-to-date
in the poultry plant line,
just slip down to Hawley and see
the A 1 plants of Messrs. R. A. Mar
tin and Ray Sands and partner.
Just get a look at Martin's 1400 or
more White Leghorns, nnd Sands'
1,000 or more White beauties of the
same breed, some of them Madison
Square winners.

"Never mind, John; never mind. You
