agriculture and live stock, there will
be found this year a number of inter-
esting new classifications. In the
poultry section, a classification for all
kinds of pigeons has been devised,
and a special building is now being
constructed to house the large num-
ber of pigeon exhibits expected. The
raising of pigeons for the market is
becoming an important industry in
the Southwest—of sufficient import-
ance, in fact, to justify a good rep-
resentation at the State Fair of
Texas.
When the State Fair of Texas op-
ens at Dallas October 14, 1916. it will
be provided with better facilities for
housing live stock entries than have
ever heretofore been the property of
any Fair Association.
During the past year, according to
an announcement from W. H. Strat-
ton, secretary of the* Fair Associa-
tion, a number of new barns have
been constructed, and these are of the
latest modern type of constructi an

We were both staying at the same j
summer resort in the mountains, she at I
the hotel opposite mine. The only young ]
men in the place were a few college 1
students, and I never saw her with any |
of them. Apparently they were too ju- I
venile for her.
I never tired of looking at her and ]
wondering about her. She was quaint,
and when I have said that I have said 1
all I can say by way of description.
Her room fronted mine. Before ap- 1
pearing dressed for the afternoon and (
evening she would stand before her 1
mirror combing her hair. And such '
hair! It was ravishing. Its depth and a
length were only to be compared to a
high cataract On one occasion when
she was walking from the window 1 ,
saw that it swept the floor. Every aft- I
ernoon at 3 I would take my position I
at my window, close the blind so as not ]
to be observed and watch through the I
slats for her to display her magnificent i
tresses.
One evening, returning from a walk I
in the mountains, I passed the Devil’s I
well. A stream tumbled over a ledge, j
and beneath was a basin which small a
boys said had no bottom. It was the I
well. As I approached a woman came ]
trom beside it. and through the dusk 1 1
recognized "the girl opposite." She was 1
alone and a long way from the village i
"You are out late,” I said, “for a 1
woman. Aren't you afraid?”
“The place fascinates me,” ahs J
piled, with a gasp. "I was dreBng. I
Is It very late?”
“Eight o'clock, and the twilight is not i
so long as it was earlier in the sum-
mer."
“You are a gentleman; I know yon
are. There is a freemasonry between
ladies and gentlemen which ctreum-
stances cannot do away with. I'm sure
I can trust you to take me to the hotel” d
“You may, certainly.”
She put her arm through mine, cling-
ing to me as though frightened at the J
loneliness of the place. We walked '
between towering rocks and along the ]
margin of the stream, which now boll 1
ed and bubbled and now resolved itself
into little lagoons. Coming to a bridge I
under which it flowed, she stopped and I
leaned on the rail, but not releasing
her hold on my arm. The full moon . 1
shone through the narrow gorge.
“Isn't it beautiful?" she said, turning
her tace to mine.
The moonlight softened her complex- |
ion. It lighted her eyes. Her lips were
in close proximity to mine. What
could I do? What did I do? I kissed |
them.
“What have you doner sho walleg- -
“I have trusted to your honor, and you
have taken advantage of a poor girl in
this lonely spot”
"Forgive me,” I said. “The tempta-
tion was too much for me. I will not
offend again."
"Oh, that you should have forgotten
that you are a gentleman!”
"But I will remember it hereafter
ami that you are a lady.”
She walked on.-Not for a moment
did she cease to cling to me, leaning
more and more upon me as we pro-
ceeded. She seemed tired. for, though
I bore a great deal of the weight, I
could not get her on except at a snail's
pace. Every now and again, when va=

getful of the hour or her distance from
her hotel. And I, too, was forgetful I
forgot more than once that I was a
gentleman with a lady under my pro-
tection. and a kiss was the result of
each failure to remember.
Was it the wildness of the place or
the girl that cast a spell over me? At
any rate I was bewitched It was near
midnight when we reached her hotel
and stood in a dark corner of the
piazza. I holding her hand and pour-
ing forth a torrent of words, every one
glowing with love. Then after a rap-
turous kiss she stole into the house,
while I went across the road and up
to my room.
I caught sight of my face in the mir-
ror. My eyes were as wild as the en-
virons of the Devil's well. My heart
was beating like a drum. I wondered
if the girl was not a denizen of the
spot so aptly named. Was not her stay
at the hotel opposite a pretense, her
real home at the bottom of the well?
As I looked at my excited image the
spell fell away and I cursed myself
fora fool. Undressing, I got into bed.

shone through the window. I was
again in the gorge. We were standing
on the bridge. I was enthralled.

POULTRY SHOW AT STATE FAIR
W. H. Stratton, secretary of the
Fair Association, recently announced
that, in keeping with the increased
value of Southwestern poultry pro-
ductions, the State Fair of Texas
would materially increase the pre-
miums offered annually for poultry
exhibits, and this announcement is
followed by the statement that a di-
vision has been created for pigeons,
and that a special building is being
constructed to house the exhibits ir
this new class. Better facilities have
likewise been provided far the ex-
hibits of ducks, and a large duck pond
is now in course of construction.
In the main section of the poultry
division increased space has been al-
lotted for the exhibits of all standard
and vtility breeds, and present indi-
cations are that each breed wil! have
a large following. Numerous requests
for entry blanks have been received
from the premier poultry fanciers of
the Southwest, and there is every
reason to believe that the best and
biggest poultry show ever seen in the
South will be a part of the 1916 State
Fair of Texas.
Entries in the poultry department
will close Wednesday, October 11,
and poultry fanciers who contemplate
making an exhibit at the Fair should
send An their entries promptly.

President R. E. L. Knight of the
State Fair of Texas, announces that,
through the courtesy of Mr. August
A. Busch of St. Louis, visitors to the
State Fair this year will have an op-
portunity to see Mr. Busch’s wonder-
ful herd of prize-winning Dexter cat-
tle. This will be the first exhibit of
true Dexters ever shown in the South.
Mr. Busch has been interested in
Dexters for several years, and has
gathered together the most wonder-
ful collection of individuals ever seen
in one herd. In fact, it is the only
considerable collection now owned in
this country and is expected to be
one of the most interesting features
of the 1916 State Fair.
The Dexter a Profitable Animal.
The Dexter is a representative of
the diminutive Irish cattle that are
world-famous for producing meat and
milk of exceptional quality. Though
its origin is clouded in obscurity, it
is probably a member of the cele-
brated Kerry family of cattle, as the
two breeds have many common char-
acteristics. Its small size, and pro-
portionately small cost of production,
should warrant the interest of Amer-
ican cattle raisers, especially when it
is considered that the Dexter is a
prolific producer of high quality milk,
and that its meat will compare most
favorably with the breeds now high-
est in the favor of American stock-
men.
The small size of the Dexter will be
realized when the statement is made
that famous bulls of the breed have
weighed, at maturity, about 500
pounds—with the cows scaling a con-
siderably less figure. The average
adult stands about 36 inches high and
is sturdily and compactly built, show-
ing great depth of rib and general
“beefiness.”
Bevo Ponies to Be Shown.
In addition to his Dexters, Mr.
Busch will show his world-famous
stable of Bevo ponies. These won-
derfully handsome little fellows—
where the acreage is large.
Nearly all of the popular types of
tractors will be seen at the 1916
State Fair of Texas—the leading
manufacturers of the country having
the State Fair, know that in number
and beauty of permanent buildings,
the State Fair of Texas is surpassed
by that of no other State. These
new barns are thoroughly in keeping
with their surroundings, and will re-
flect added credit to the “Fair With-
out an Equal.” At the same time
they will add greatly to the pleasure
of exhibitors in showing their stock,
and will facilitate matters generally
in the Live Stock Department.
Secretary Stratton also announces
that there is every present indication
to the effect that the entries in all
agricultural and live stock divisions
will be greatly increased this year,
and that there is no doubt but what
the largely increased facilities pro-
vided by these new barns, will be
taxed to the utmost to provide suit-
able quarters for all entries in these
divisions.

W. H. Stratton, secretary of the
State Fair of Texas, announced re-
interest practically all Texans will
be found in the front of the publica-
tion in the nature of a large folder,
40 inches long by 8 inches wide, upon
whic his illustrated a splendid pano-
ramic view of a portion of the Fair
Grounds. This is a late photograph
and shows the grounds just as they
are today. The reverse side of this
folder presents a fine panoramic vi w
of the present skyline of the city of
Dallas. This is likewise a very re-
cent photograph and glowingly de-
picts the wonderful growth which
Dallas has attained in recent years.
In the back of the 1916 Premium
List will be found a similar large
folder presenting many of the amuse-
ments which are to be at the Fair
this fall. The amusement program,
as outlined by Secretary Stratton, is
by far the largest and most expen-
sive ever offered by the Fair man-
agement, and while both sides of this
large folder have been utilized for
the purpose, it has been found to be
entirely impossible to present a large
portion of the acts which have al-
ready been secured.
Mr. Stratton states that a sufficient
number of Premium Lists have been
published to take care of all de-
mands, and that a copy will be mailed

One of the
most valuable
features of any
State Fair is
found in the sec-
tion devoted to
exhibits of dairy
cattle, and this is
particularly true
of the great State
Fair of Texas,
which has, during
recent years, pro-
gressed to recog-
nized leadership

ditions approximately as closely as
possible the conditions found upon the
average farm of this section. Here,
then, is an opportunity for the farm-
er who wants light on this interest-
ing subject to form an intelligent
comparison.
When the great State Fair of Tex-
as opens at Dallas October 14, the
largest and most valuable collectior
of Farm Implements, Vehicles and
Machinery that the South ever saw
will be ready for the public.
A recent announcement from the
office of Secretary W. H. Stratton, of
the Fair Association, states that ne-
gotiations for space have been con-
cluded with a large majority of the
country’s best manufacturers in these
lines, and that the demands for rep-
resentation will undoubtedly fill the
available space to overflowing, not-
withstanding the fact that more than
tan acres of ground space have been
reserved.
An interesting part of this great
exhibit, particularly to the farmer
who believes in progressive methods
in agriculture, will be the great num-
ber of new devices shown. During
the past year many improvements
have been made in farm machinery,
and practically all of these will be
included.
Big Automobile Show.
Secretary Stratton also advises
that present indications point to the
largest and most complete show of
automobiles ever seen in this part of
the country. Practically all of the
cars of standard make will be seen,
and the many improvements as shown
in the 1917 models will no doubt in-
terest manv. A special showing of
Commercial cars and trucks will be
of interest to many farmers. During
the past three or four years many
farmers in all parts of the country
have found profit in a suitable car
to haul their lighter produce to the
market, and several factories have
specialized in cars suitable for this
purpose. These will all be shown.
Many Tractors to Be Shown.
A topic in which the Southwestern
farmer of today is vitally interested
is Power Farming, as practiced with
the variou types of Tractors now
being made and sold for use on the
farms. Nearly every farmer who has
given this subject deep thought has
become convinced that tractors are a

quest. There is no charge for this i portance ..

F. F. Sliney. of this depart-
ment, recently announced that unus-
ually valuable premiums are to be
offered by the State Fair of Texas
this year for Dairy Cattle exhibits
and that much new work would fea-
ture this division.
The Dairy Demonstration tests,
according to Mr. Sliney, will be con-
ducted this year under the direct
personal supervision of a member of
. the United States Department of
Agriculture, and the system of award-
ing premiums which will be used has
been carefully devised to give all en-
tries an equal chance. Economical
production cost will be the deciding
factor, and this will be established
by applying a scientific “point” sys-
tem originated at one of the gov-
ernment experiment stations.
It is strongly urged that farmers
throughout the State enter their Desi'
dalry. stosk in nis Demonstration,
ane a wil be to the advantage of each
Andividual farmer to do so, for the
r actual value of each animal as a pro-
fit maker will be defintely established
through these tests. The Dairy Dem-
onstration tests will continue for 12
days and will undoubtedly be one of
the most int • ti " featare3" con-
nected with the 1916 State Fair of
Texas.
