TIE CATTLE SHOW AT TEE
EXPOSITION.

the excellence Of the individual AMI
mails which took some Of the prizes.
The Short Horn herds exhibited
By Messrs. j. r. Anderson, OF An
dersons, Ohio, and Geo. W. Pal
mer, Of Sslsg;lle, Virginia, were
superb. The head of Mr. Ander-
sons herd weighed 267O ponnds'
and that Of Mr.. Palmer's herd, a
younger animal, weighed 1000
pounds. The objects had proml-
nently in view in the breeding OF
the two herds we're conspicuously
prominent in the characteristics OF
fhe animals. Mr.. Anderson's herd
had been bred with an eye almost
single to the production OF beet'
while Mr. Palmer had sought .
combination OF beef and milk pro-
drction. MIR. Anderson's cattle
had evidently received more special
preparation as show animals, and
evan "a snch wese oves.fat as stock
animals. We hardly think q breed
er of the skill shown in the quail
isv Of Sir. Anderson's herd would
prefer to breed from animals in
the pampered condition OF the IN
diy;dusls of the herd exhibited.
Yet he showed that he knew how
to capture the eye of the average
observer, and we doubt not, attract
that Of the best judges. His herd
does him credit as q skiMul breeder
oiShost Horns and an experienced
exhibitor, tor few men can eliminate
the ,nAuence of fat in their ludg-
meat of animals Of any kind, even
when it has nothing to do with the
qualities on which they are called
uponsto pass. The Exposition was
fortunate in having as judges In
every class Of cattle, men OF ex-
perisnce and character, men who
thoroughly understood their busa-
ness. The awards were made with
the best Judgment and the most
sven-handed justice. Mr.. Ander-
son took the prize Of $3.50 on his
Short Horn herd, that for the best
bun Of any age, and the best heifer.
Mr.. Palmer took the prize for the
best COW over three years, the
best bull between two and four
years, and the best COW OF any
sge-
Mr. D. J. Whitmore, Of Troy,
Ohio, exhibited q superb herd OF
Devon cattle, and captured the
herd prize Of $3.50, and Two other
liberal prizes.
NY ri y. Hick. of Nashville,
Tenn, who exhibited a herd, and
Mr. Palmer, of Saltville, Va, who
competed for the individual prizes,
divided the latter with Mr.. Whit
more. The exhibit Of Devons was
very fire, both in numbers and
quality. Mr. Whismore's herd es,
pecislly gave evidence Of very skill
full breeding. This was exhibited
in the uniformity of the type Of his
animals and in the full develop
ment Of the characteristic points OF
the DeYons.
Individuals in tbe ot-sr herds
possessed particular points OF ex-
celIenee superior to those OF MIR.
Whitmore's cattle, but the tout en-
semNe of Mr. VS. herd was sim
ply superb. There is no herd OF
animals in which the characteristic
points which distinguish then are
SO fixed and permanent as the
Devons- They have been bred
pure as far back IS we have any
authentic history, and hence have in
9 degree not possessed by any other
breed the power Of stamping
their type upon their offspring even

premium Of $3.50. Besides this he
took four individual premiums
amounting in all to $3.50.
EIr. Wade has the honor OF own

quantity of milk. The largest yield
