had excellent and representative speci.
mens of their peculiar qualities, while the
heavy beeves were shown in the Dur
hams.
The North Dakota hospital has some-
what smaller exhibit than last year and
is devoted mostly to grades and crosses
in young stock. The farm also has q
3-yesr. old Ayrshire COW.
]. A. Atkinson showed small bunch
OF Heretords; 2-yesr-old, 3.year.old
COW and 2-year-old heifer. These ami
mails have the peculiar marks of the
breed, general red in color, with white
heads and faces. The markings make
the animals easily recognized.
Martin Fogarty of this county ex-
hibited a yearling short-horn bull and
William Hart an excellent 3-year.old
grade ('common") COW.
Among the beef animals w. J. Hawk
OF Buffalo exhibited large Durham COW
with sucking calf by her side, each
magnificent specimens. The calf Is very
large in size, and though but few
months old, is about the size of the
usual yearling. Mr.. Hawk has II head
entered, including two Durham steers,
that weigh about 1900 pounds each, and
are rather ''sizeabie" for "calves."
Z. C!anmens, living 10 miles south
west, shows Shorthorn bull
G. B. Andrus of Oakes has large col
lection OF Shorthorns. which are entered
for individuals in their class and for
sweepstakes as we'll.
W. L. Dodge e. Co., also of Oakes,
enter SIX Holstein-Friesians, especially
noted for their milk and butter produc-
ing qualities. Their markings are white
and black and we'll known in this part of
tie state.
THE CATTLE FOR DAKOTA.
The herd of 20 Galloway cattle ex-
hibited by A. H. Laugdlin of isbon,
attract general attention. The cattle are
claimed to be the best adapted of any
breed for this climate and forage. They
are strong, hardy stock, not of rowing
disposition aud their hair is so thick
that they easily withstand the long win
ter. Last winter they were out OF
shelter most of the time. The stock ex-
cells in beef qualifications, bringing an
advance over the'common steer and COW.
While not large animals. yet they weigh
down" to q surprising extent. They are
more OF buffalo nature, and resemble
slightly the buffalo in head and general
| appearance. They are black and without
| horns. One of the COWS in flesh will
weigh 1000. The owner says the herd
| has had no grain whatever and have kept
in their present good condition by simply
"rusting' on the prairie pasture. In
storms they are not frightened, nor do
they stampede, but lie down with back
| to the wind and wait until the storm il
over before attempting to move. While
not excelllng other breeds for milking
and butter purposes they are specially
adapted for beef. It will pay stock
owners to see and inquire into the merits
| Of these cattle.
THE HORSES.
The horse exhibit is also good and has
excellent entries ranging from heavy
| Norman to Coach horses OF proper
''action" and ''style," dainty steppers all,
and from frisky young colts to heavy
imbed Clydesdales. Stations, Clyoes,
Shires and Coaches. some "for sale or
exchange" are exhibited and for those
fond Of horses with draft qualifications a
pleasant hour can be spent without
visiting the racing stables. John Heaney
OF Windsor, has fine pair OF 8 year old
draft geldinRs, sleek, fat and we'll
groomed, and Jean Clark OF Stutsman
entered fine spaa of 3.year draft
animals. Dan Sacho has a number OF
entries. County Commissioner Wood
bury makes three entries, one especially
heavy 3.year.old. Veterinary Surgeon
L. G. l.. Moore shows 3.year. old Clyde e
stallion, owned by n. P. Clark OF St.
Cloud, while Geo. Smith and Harry
Helm have colt each and Walter Miller
two colts, "all purpose" animals. y.
Sidmore has Clyde stallion, Jack Harris
a coach stallion, and J. U. LaFollette a
4-year-old Shire stallion.
Kendrick and Barnes OF Bismarck
have their 3-year-old stallion "Arpallo'
which has yearling mark OF 2:49 and is
entered to lower previous records Of his.
This is but a small portion OF the entries
Judging was under way during the day
The exhibit OF "porkers" is far superior
to previons efforts and Is about three
times as large as last year. The Berk-
shires are the favorites and exceed all
others in numbers, though the Poland
Chinas and Chester Whites come next
and the grades last. The value OF swine
on the farm is increasing IN importance
each year, and the industry is meeting
with increasing favor each year as the
