To the Committee on Poultry : 



Gentlemen. — Having finished my duties in judging the 

 Poultry Department of your exhibition, I beg to hand you 

 herewith my report. I was unable to complete the work, 

 as the high wind of this morning entirely demolished the 

 tent, stopping further work. I was therefore obliged to 

 leave the *Light Brahma Class, and Eggs, without being 

 passed upon. 



I am pleased to inform you, that in my opinion, the 

 quality of your Poultry Exhibition is far in advance of last 

 year, and as last year was superior to the one preceding, 

 it is plain that poultry culture is advancing in your section 

 and this department of your show is on the gain. 



I had the pleasure of recommending, in my report of last 

 year, a few changes in the arrangement of your premiums, 

 which you did me the honor to adopt ; the increase in the 

 exhibit of those specialties, and the better quality of the 

 same, prove the change to have been wise. 



I would suggest that at the next exhibition your Society 

 offer a premium of — say five dollars — for the best display 

 of Poultry Appliances. There are a great many new and 

 ingenious devices now in the market, very interesting to 

 Farmers and Poultry Breeders, and some of them are of 

 great practical value. 



Respectfully yours, 



W. F. Bacon, Judge.
