OF tho states and OF oil countries on tbs half
Of the globe as a stock raising state BY the
lazt census the value of Michigan live stock
reached the enormous aggregate proportion
and value OF one-tenth Of her entire farm
property, or about ffty-six millions Of
dOllersi Only nine states surpassed Michi-
gan in the number Of horses, eight in oxen,
ten in lnilch COWS, and three in sheep; and
each OF tncss states was either lerser in
suitable cultivated area, older in the bust
ness greater in population and wealth, or
with peculiar advantages Of climate and
soil. The next census is confidently expected
TO show such an enormous advances in Michi-
gan stock raising as viii make her supren-
ecy self-eviient.
Popular interest in stock raising, stock
improvement, and stock exhibitions is con-
stantly and rapidly increasing as ere also
the number and proportions of investments
Of capital in the business Of stock raising of
improved breeds Aud skill in developing
the finest animals is naturally acquired by
practice and experience. Most Of the various
classes OF stock breeders have
THEIR OWN SPECIAL ORGANIZATIONS,
fairs, meetings and exhibitions. They also
lend an important part to county, district
and state fairs Sheep shearing festivals
and flock shows are common and popular,
and show a gratifying annual Increase in tho
number OF the best animals with accredited
podigrees. Progress in rearing Jersey,
AIderney, Durham, Devon, Dutch Belted,
Holstein Freisen, Hereford, polled and other
choice varieties Of cattle, is also marked and
gratifying. While there arc 10 especial
shows OF improved swine, except at fairs, tho
number and quality OF the most famous
breeds are steadily increasing, and the orig
insl razor backed mongrel hog Of the early
farmers has almost disappeared But, while
stock breeders have displayed many excellent
exhibits at fairs and festivals, they have
SEvERuAD AN ADEQUATE EXHIBITION.
At the county, district and state fairs the
usual custom has necessarily been 10 provide
