The remarkable advance that the Poultry Industry in all parts of the United States has made, the number of breeders now engaged in raising thoroughbred - fowls, and the ever increasing interest in these fowls make it important that an Annual Exhibition, that is National in its.character be held. Breeders and Fanciers who produce high class birds of superior qualifications in beauty of feather and shape, and of economic value for their productiveness, whether their object is the gratification of the pleasure of ideal breeding, or a practical business one, are alike interested in bringing their birds toa mammoth exhibition every year, "that true comparisons may be made and improvements shown. Local shows are invaluable in all parts of: the country, but ‘there should be one show. where comparisons will not be local but National, and which will be the tribunal of final judgment for the birds of this country. That this show should be held in the Metropolis of the country there can be no doubt. The advantages of access, of accommodation, of centrality, are indisputable. And the fact that nowhere can so many breeders, raisers and lov- ers of good fowls be brought together and so good a financial support be obtained as in this city is already established. The New York Show is now permanently established by the formation of the New York Poultry Exchange. And this year’s exhibition will, without doubt, bring together the greatest number of high class fowls, fancy pigeons and minor pets, and the largest assemblage of people ever attracted by any similar show in this country. Each Department will be under expert management, and will be made an individual feature of the exhibition. Every exhibitor, whether he be an ama- teur making his first exhibit or a veteran breeder, will have the same attention paid to his specimens and they will stand the same chance for premiums. The best birds will win. The management are not interested in any clique, or set of breeders, and absolute impartiality will be insisted upon. ° The intrinsic value of the premiums offered is not large, and some breeders may raise the point that the amount of the money-prizes is not sufficient to pay them for exhibiting. The answer to this is the fact that a First or even a ‘Secnod Prize Medal won at the New York show, will bring the winner sdles and orders that will amount to many times tHe value of any, premium that the association could consistently offer. The New York Show is pre-eminently the best show for sales of any in this country. There is always a large demand ‘for the superior strains of fowls and their eggs, and better prices are obtained ‘than at any other show. Extensive advertising and numbers of attractive features will largely increase even the large attendance of former years, and the opportunities for selling will be better than ever before. - Breeders of known reputation and standing, will consult their own interest by exhibiting a large number of their best fowls, and new breeders will find this show the most effective method of bringing thei fowls before the public, and of obtaining standing among the poultry fraternity. The mere fact that a breeder exhibits at New York, is in itself a recommenda- tion, and his fowls with their scores are entered on the official books of the Exchange and form a record for future reference. 2 PREMIUM LIST REGULATIONS | Annualkxhibition POULTRY, PIGEONS, TOY-DOGS AND HOUSEHOLD PETS. .

We have exhibited the PERFECT HATCHER at each of these Annual Shows, and every time we have captured the highest premium against all competitors, and this last year the array of Incubators was the largest ever known at any one show in the world. Zhe evidence is complete, that the Perrect Hatcuer is THE BEST. If you wish to obtain good results you must buy a good machine. The cheap, trashy machines on the market are a delusion and a snare, and should be shunned ; all who buy them are deceived. We desire to call your attention to the fact, that many old fashioned Pendlers make the claim that an artificially hat¢hed bird can never enter the show room and take a first premium. We take great pride in being able to make the statement, that at this great show of over 1,800 cages, we were able and permitted to pin the following card on over 300 cages : “These Birds were Hatched by the Perfect Hatcher. Many of them were first premium birds ; they were from every variety. We ‘herewith append a few of the winners and classes, all ‘of which can be affirmed by the owners of the , birds, also by reference to the official report of the Fanciers’ Club : WINNINGS AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, [886. €OFFIN, ZIMMER & CO., Glens FallsyN.Y. rst.

Nevius, judge. a Two of the Cocktrels were sold by Mr. GRIFFING to W. K. VANDERBILT. We could go on with a long list but space will not permit. The above is sufficient to prove that in the greatest show ever held in America, the birds hatched by the PERFECT HATCHER stand at the head of the list. Now we regard this as a complete answer to the critics; that artificially hatched birds can and do take as many premiums as any others ; and we can also adduce evidence that birds artificially hatched and reared are finer in flavor, weigh more at three months, and are in every respect superior to the barnyard raised birds, and will always command a higher price. Don’t be deceived, but buy the best. Our system of brooding is as perfect as our system of hatching. All orders promptly filled: AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC CO., (Limited.), ELMIRA, N. Y, BUFF COCHINS.

NEw Yorxk: Respected Friend :—You remember, perhaps. that some months since I sent to you for a box of your Rupture Remedy. Yousentit promptly, and I think I can safely say that it has saved my life. That is putting \t down pretty boli, but those of my neighbors, including Dr, Hoover of this village who examined my case, will endorse what I say. Dr. Hoover says that my case is one out of a thousand. I haveno words to express my fzelings for baing snatched from the brink ofthegrave. My suffering was van Ashe Ican never tellit. I had tried no less than slx different trusses, but they would not holdi the hernia. My case was getting desperate. Finally, a lady of Butler, Ind., made and sent to me a suppcrter that held the. hernia in place, and then your Remedy came in and did its magic work. It appears almost a miracle. I am to-day doing strong. heavy work, being a builder by trade; am wearing no truss or pap nee of any. kind. and ifI was afflicted again with hernia I would have FrRINK’s RupTuRE REMEDY if it cost Five Hundred ‘Dollars per box. I believe (when I think of my owa terrible case) that it wil! cure any case where the hernia can be held in place. [ean’t express my feelings of grati- tule. Iam more than thankful, yea, [amahappyman. I owe it to your remedy. ; Now, kind sir. if there is a word in this rough letter that I write that will aid you in sending the good news to thea‘flicted —those who are-suffering with hernia—you are at libert; to use it in any way that you may wish. You may boldly say that «Rupture can be Cured,” for I am a living witness to the truth of the assertion. I myself have been through the _ fire, and came out without spot or blemish. Ever yours in gratitude, H. N. CROWE Despite.the acknowledged great value of Frink’s RupTurE RemMeEpy, the price ts still kept down to the low figure of Five Dollars ($5) per box,. so that every ruptured person can have an opportunity of testing its wonderful power.

The principal upon which it is made is to keep the egg lying on its side on a slat concaved to its form and separated from the neighboring eggs by means of a comparted rack, and by the tilting of the safe the eggs make a half revolution, thus keeping the yolk in the center. The above is entirely consistent with nature. It is made of wood ; will not wear out; is portable, only weighs 35 pounds for a safe holding 50 dozen ; can be detached by sections without stopping to Toosen a fastening of any kind, so that it is no more’ bother to store away eggs than in baskets. The eggs do not crush by coming in contaet with each other, and are easily counted, for each section holds 6 1-4 dozen. ee PRICE List.

' It is com- posed of the most nutritious grains, steam cooked and combined with phosphates and stimulants in the right proportions to produce the best results. A series of practical experiments with different kinds of feed and the comparative value of the different grains, extending over the past four years, has enabled us to determine what are the best. grains for fowls, and in what proportions they should be fed. As arule fowls are fed too much corn and corn meal, which are rich in carbon, and produce an unhealthy fatty tissue. The fowls become sluggish and stand around in idleness, show no activity or disposition to forage, and lay but few eggs. When ‘“‘C.P. F.” is used, the expense of feeding is reduced and the results are doubled. It keeps fowls in fine condition. ‘It prevents over-fat. * It produces the largest yield of eggs. It costs one third less than any other feed. \ For Growing Chickens.—Containing as it does all the elements necessary for the formation of every part of the frame, it is the best possible feed for young stock, bringing them to maturity strong in frame, form, and feather, and producing active males and pullets that lay earlier than if fed the ordinary way. For Laying Hens.—It supplies the natural requirements of the body, main- tains a healthy condition of the organs, and furnishes material for forming the shell, albumen and yolk of the egg. For Ducks.—The cost of feeding ducks generally wipes out any profit that might be made raising them. They have voracious appetites, and if fed rich grain will eat their heads off before they are grown. Use ‘“‘C, P. F.” and they will grov rapidly, without danger of weak legs, and pay a good profit. Directions for Feeding.—Mix with water, until the mass is crumbly and ‘adheres together, not wet and sloppy. Feed what the fowls will eat up clean, which will be about.one quart to every ten hens. Feed ‘‘C. P. F.” morning and evening in Summer, in Winter use “C. P. F.” inthe morning and corn or wheat at night. Feed in wooden troughs, not on the ground, PRICE. ‘50 cents per bushel, in bags of 2 bushels each. Bags 10 cents extra, refunded when bag is returned. Special rates to grocers and feed men.

The object of the Exchange. is the association of breeders, poultry raisers, and ail interested in fine fowls, pigeons, etc., together into a Stock Company for the following ass = . Holding an Annual Competitite Exhibition of Thoroughbred Fowls and POY Agpartenanes in one of the exhibition buildings of New York City. 2. Conducting Auction Sales of fancy fowls at the Exhibition, and at such other times as the Board of Trustees may direct. 3. Leasing and occupying a suitable store as the headquarters of the Exchange, and . keeping on sale Fowls, Incubators, Poultry Supplies, and apparatus of all kinds pertaining to the poultry business. ; 4. Advancing the Poultry Interests of America, disseminating Poultry Literature, improv- ing shipping facilities, protecting buyers of fowls and eggs against imposition, and assisting the members of the Exchange in the sale and purchase of stock. ; Everyone having the true interest of the poultry industry at heart should j join the Exchange, lend his support and increase the effectiveness of the organization. The privileges that mem- bers secure is worth much more than the cost of joining. At Exhibitions members save twenty-five per cent., of the entrance fees on birds entered for competition. In the Sales ‘Department they save the ten per cent. commission charged on all sales, whether private or at auction, Members have, at all times, the privilege of placing fowls on private sale at the store, the Exchange receiving commission on all sales to cover the expense of feeding, furnishing coops, etc. The Exhibitions will be conducted so as to be not only popular succssses, but financial ones as well. The Exchange is co-operative in its nature. From the profits that accrue from the exhibitions and from the general business, dividends will be declared that will exceed legal interest to as great an extent as possible. These inducements are offered in order to obtain a membership covering every State and Territory i in the Union. Tyhat the shares be held over as large an extent of country as possi- ble, for the benefit of poultry breeders wherever located, the association prefers to sell not to exceed five or ten ‘shares to. any one person. Orders for one share $10, or one to ten at the same rate will be received. Not a share of stock will be sold for less than the par value, ten dollars.
