THE LIVESTOCK EXHIBIT.
Just opposite the postof1ce, next to the
Midway and the end of the Street Fair,
may have been noticed the modest sign,
Swine Exhibit and not until the inter
ested visitor passed through the livery
barn into the yards did he comprehend
the significance of the sign. However
a number of farmers from Sedgwick and
adjoining counties saw the sign, went in
and had the satisfaction Of viewing the
best exhibit of pure bred Poland China
swine that has been on exhibition in
Kansas this year. NJ. B. Keagy of Alert,
o. T., an old-time swine breeder of Kan
sas, was called in by the management as
an expert judge, to pass judgment on the
merits of the swine display, which he
did in a very efficient manner to the en-
tire satisfaction Of the exhibitors. Breed
ers generally In the Wichita territory had
been urged to exhibit, but knowing that
Robert S. Cook, the veteran exhibitor and
owner Of the champion herd would be on
hand, feared that it would be next to
useless to compete. However, Hiram
Smith of Colwich, ventured against Bob
Cook of Wichita, and was we'll rewarded
for his enterprise by securing some of the
-
land Chnas. R S. Cook of Wichita, made
a splendid exhibit of 43 head of pure bred
hogs from his champion herd of Poland
Chinas, a breeder who has been highly
successful at the Worlds Fair and vart-
Gus state and district fairs of the west
during the past decade. Last year Mr..
Cook sold some foundation stock to Nor
ris Bros, Edgerton, Ohio, who made
show at the Ohio state fair of his Kan
sas-bred hogs and secured a number of
the best prizes, including sweepstakes for
best herd Mr. Cook reports aii unusually
fine trade throughout the west and the
40 choice pigs left will not near fill the
order& received and still to come from old
customers. The nervy exhibitor who con-
tested with Mr.. Cook is Mr.. Hiram
Smith of Colwich. Kansas. who made a
very creditable exhibit and has on hand
more hogs of serviceable age than most
any breeder in the southwest. The result
Of his exhibit and successful winnings has
made big reputation for his herd that
will soon clean up his sale stock. The
