cattle, and the excellent manner in
which they lay on flesh, minglins the fat

yet won for the Galloways, and one that
must raise them higher than ever in the
estimation of all beef raisers.
In speaking of the awards on carcass
SEES the New Orleans Picdyune of Janu-
airy 20, says:
The contest to day at the stock abat-
toirs over the Worlds Exhibition of fat
stock was very exciting and close. The
Shorthorns were from Indiana, Illinois
and Kentucky, taking the best from
the Kansas City and Chicago
Fat-Stock Shows for this Exposition.
The Herefords from Indiana, Illinois
and Maine also taking the cream of
thoroughbreds of the above stock
shows. The Galloway cattle were
selected from the best steers attainabIe
in the United States, which singular to
say, took every steer over two years of
age of the breed. 1t was like Greek
meeting Greek, when this the cream of
all prizes came to be awarded. The
butcher 'sblock is the last test and this is
were the Galloways won. They won
and the best judges of slaughtered
meat-men who have been butch
ers for the markets all their
lives-haye decided that the Gal
loways -ank first for quality and guam
titY of fat beef when compared with
other carcasses. They won before the
best judges of slaughtered beef. Men
who have learned their trades and have
made fortunes by it, because they I'M
derstood the main point of selecting
animals to get those that will dress the
best, give the most meat in proportion
to live weight, and that will therefore
prove the most profitable to both butch
er and consumer.
These Galloway cattle are new in the
south, and it might be well for short
horn stockmen to consider and exam
inc the breed. Aside from the quality
OF the meat their hides are exceedingly
tough, which enables them to withstand
the summer sun as well as to DEFY the
attacks of the flies. 1t is stated that
Mr.. A. B. Matthews, who exhibited
these cattle, will have a breeding herd
brought down to the exposition next
month and give the stockmen an oppor-
tunity to cross them with the southern
cattle, thereby improving the quantity
and quality of the carcass.
The rules for awarding the prizes
were as follows: The first three premi-
ums awarded to three-year-old and
cows. The premiums in each ring will
be awarded to that animal whose
dressed carcass has the highest market
value in proportion to its live weight
That was for competition between ten
animals, five in the three-year-old class.
three in the two-year-old class and two
