In presenting IilS Premium liSl VI -
vision B, cattle department, for the
coming state fair, the attention OIL
owners Of both pure bred and grade
cattle is called to the fact that the
amount offered by the board for pre-
n,iuns is most liberal agsregating near
" SIS zoe. When the cattle exhibit closed
in '95 the Breeders Gazette SAID: MS
closes one of the most memorable bat
ties Of breeds ever fought in the Amer
lean show yard" This exhibit was eX-
ceued in SO. and it is expected to nave
a better one in '97. A number of herds
are promised at this early date. Min
nesota is the opening fair of the West
eln circuit. and will again be the bat
tie ground of competing breeds. Min
nesota, with its almost endless food
production. should furnish more exhib-
its in the line of beef cattle. Greater
interest is now manifested than has
heretofore existed on account OF the
scarcity of good beef animals. The
dairy breeds are most numerously rep
resented by Minnesota breeders. The
coming exhibit will be most excellent
illustration of the rapid strides the
dairy industry is making in the North
west. The Northwestern breeders of
dairy stock are paying much attention
to the development OF animals espe-
cially adapted for the work which is
expected of them. Types are most
carefully studied. The cattle show will
be one of the leading attractions. The
information to be obtained at these
annual exhibits makes it certain that
there will be large attendance of
those having any interest in beef, dairy
or allied industries.
Col. W. M Liggett, dean at the
school of agriculture, and one Of the
board of managers of the state agri-
cultural society, will again have charge
of this department. His long experience
with and intimate knowledge of both
beef and dairy cattle enable him to
do most effective work in preparing a
large exhibit. His well-knoWn reputa-
ton for strict impartiality is a stand
ing guarantee that all exhibitors will be
treated with consid Iteration and abso-
lutte fairness, making breeders both at
home ana abroad more than willing
that their herds should enter the show
ring under his mana cement Another
