ENPRZE FOR MINNESOTA
HER SHEEP EXHIBIT TAKES FIR ST
PRIZE AND. SWEEPSTAKES
AT CHICAGO
IN FAST COMPETITION, TOO
Chicago show BEING Supposed to
he One of the Finest Ever
Collected Any
where.

Inc predictions by Minnesotans that
the state would carry off prizes at the
International stock exposition at Chicago
have come true, and. as a consequences.
the stock raiSers of the state are now
jubilant
The State Agricultural college has just
peen notified by Dean Liggett, now in
chicago, that the Minnesota exhibit of
Wetners had taken first prize and sweep
stakes Ihe communication also states
that the experiment farm has taken
hrst prize Tor a steer calf.
In view of the fact that the exposition
now on in Chicago is one of the largest
OF the kind ever held in the world, the
showing made by Minnesota is surprising
to people of other states, if not in this
state. There are 10000 cattle on exhibit
tlon In Chicago, another fact which puts
the showing of Minnesota in a very cred
liable light.
This state only sent two carloads of
STOCK TO the exposition, but the quality of
TINS stock has more than made up for
the lack of quantity. The calf that took
nrst prize was one of the two that
were sent The calves were Shorthorn
animals, each weighing between 1000
pounds and LOO pounds, although not yet
more than eleven months old.
The State Agricultural school is highly
| gratf1ed over the results of the show in
chicago as announced so far, and is hop
ing to hear more good news. A party of
| eighty-five students of the school are now
attending the exposition for the purpose
OF studying the different breeds of cat
tie on exhibition
Late advices from the state experiment
| tai farm are to the effect that, in adj
dition to the prizes already won, the first
and second prizes and the sweeps takes
have been awarded for the Tamsworth
hogs sent from here.
CHICAGO, Dee. 4.-The judging Of car
load lots in the open air, considered the
most important judging of the entire ex-
| position, began today. In cattle there
was fierce contest between Frank
Godding, of Iowa, and F. I. Oswald, Of
| Salt Lake City, Utah, the former win
ming in one class, and the latter in
another. L. M. Kerrick, of bloomington,
H., a breeder of Aberdeen-Angus cat
tle won the first prize in the two-year-
old cattle. A year ago Mr.. Kerricl re-
ceived the highest price ever paid at the
stock yards since 1880 for beef cattle,
selling two carloads for $S.25 per 100
pounds.
The sales of high grade cattle began
today. Over 100, animals were sold at
an average price of nearly $500. Freedom,
