 work by emulation. 



Swine are frequently shown at indoor fairs, and the work 

 of young people can be much encouraged by including this 

 group. The pens should be kept scrupulously clean during 

 the fair. Mere ownership of swine by older people need not 

 be included, but pigs with or without their mothers of any 

 age may be grouped as follows : (1) Pigs under six weeks with 

 mother — any breed. (3) Pigs under three months weaned — 

 any breed. (3) and (4) Two groups of Berkshire breed 

 divided as (1) and (2). Other groups may be made and 

 divided in like manner for Poland China, Chester White, 

 Duroc Jersey, or any other breeds found in the locality. 



Eggs may be shown in the fairs with large profit. Uni- 

 formity in color, size, perfection of form and freshness should 

 all be considered in preparing eggs for exhibition, as Tvell as 

 for market. Suitable cartons are sold by poultry supply 

 houses. These should be used in exhibiting eggs. After the 

 judging is completed the winning lots may be placed on dark 

 green cloth for display purposes. The lists may include separ- 

 ately brown eggs, white eggs and perhaps the eggs of any 

 of the leading breeds which are popular in that region. 



Live poultry may be shown at the fair in regular exhibit 

 coops or home-made coops. This will add much interest to
