A BIG CATTLE SHOW.
ALL sRGEDe TO HAVE RECOGNITION
AT THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION.

A Building to he Devoted 10 Exhib-
Its of Dairy Appliances. Methods
and FREDERICKSBURG In All Its Com
mercinI Forms.
1t Is expected that the live stock,
poultry and pet stock exhibits at the
Pan-American Exposition next year
all told will include about $4,000 indi-
viduals. Beginning the latter part OF
August. Superintendent Frank A. Con-
verse has arranged for a special cattle
show, to continue two weeks. The 10
or IL breeds recognized in this country
and Canada, including beef and dairy
cattle, viii have n place in this division.
The classification of beef animals in
cludes the Shorthorns, Herefords, Alb
erdeen-Angus. Galloways, Devons and
Polled Durhams. The National Live
Stock, Shorthorn, Hereford and Gallo
way associations will endeavor to make
exhibits excelling in interest any that
they have heretofore brought together
The cooperation Of these great asso-
Citations gives strong assurances of an
unqualified success i'm this feature of
the show. The National Live Stock as
ISOLATION expects to make very in
strucsive exhibit, showing the charac-
ter of animals upon the ranches many
years ago along with those of the pres
ent day, illustrating the remarkable re-
suits Of scientific breeding.
The dairy associations are putting
forth special effort to be represented
at the Exposition by their best animals,
and individual exhibitors are preparing
to come in considerable numbers with
specimens of very fine dairy stock.
The displays of dairy breeds will in
clude Jersey, Iolstein. Ayrshire, Guern-
sey, Brown Swiss, Red Polled. French
Canadian and Dutch Belted cattle.
Liberal prizes are to be awarded by the
Exposition for the best animals of the
several breeds These attractive purses
are certain TO bring out fine selection
of animals.
So important are the dairy interests
of the Americas that large building
will be devoted exclusively TO them at
Buffalo. The building will be equipped
with complete refrigerating outfit, SO
that fresh exhibits may be shown
throughout the continuance of the Ex-
position. The many ms and outs Of
dairy management will be Illustrated
by means of models of stable appurte-
nances. ties. water buckets, hangers
and appliances Of all kinds. Particular
attention viii be given To the proper
manipulation of dairy products.
In this connection will be shown all
sorts of churns. separators, watts, bot

In motion. 1t will be the most magnif
icent arena ever erected in America.
The seating capacity is 1900. 1t will
contain a quarter mile track and abun-
dant space for all the popular athletic
games and sports.
1t is said that no exhibitor has ever
had such a splendid arena in which to
make displays of live stock, machinery
or vehicles.
The architectural adornment Of the
Stadium is very simple and beautiful,
giving it an aspect of massiveness and
durability. The arrangement is that Of
a vast amphtheater, the seats being
under cover and affording comfort to
the spectators. The main entrance OF
the Stadium is a large building whose
upper floors will be used for restaurant
purposes. This building is 241 feet long
by % feet wide. with towers 164 feet
high. The architecture Is very pictur-
esque and appropriate for the use for
which it is intended.
The style is that Of the Spanish Re-
naissance in conformity with the gen.
eral character of Exposition buildings.
The lower story is an arcaded arrange
ment, and the red tile roof has broad
caves. Bright colors will be used in the
further decoration of the building, and
the old Spanish towers give 1t a finish
ed beauty and make it one of the most
prominent features Of the Exposition.
The Stadium is on the east side of the
Plaza, opposite the Midway 1t is near
the great northern entrance to the Ex-
position, adjacent to the steam and
trolley railway stations. The Athletic
Carnival to be held in the Stadium Is
intended to be one Of the most lmpor-
tant ever held I'm America. 1t will
bring together many OF the most IA
nous specialists In the world. who viii.
entertain the Exposition visitors with
their feats OF strength skill and endur-
ance. The Stadium resembles the one
built at Athens Il few years ago and is
intended as a model Of what il is hoped
some day may be executed In perma-
nent form.

4 puzzler.

An ancient epitapb in Latin in the
chateau of Chantilly, France, may be
translated thus:
Aelia Le Tia Crispis
Neither man, woman. nor hermaphrodite,
Neither infant young nor old,
Neither chaste, deprated. nor modest.
But an these.
Removed neither by hunger, sword or poison,
But by ALL
She lies neither in the sky nor in the water, but
everywhere
iGoius Agatha Crispis
Neither husband, lover friend.
But all these.
Neither weeping nor rejoicing,
But both.
Has erected this. neither mausoleum, pyramid
nor a sepucher,
But an three,
Both knowing and not knowing to whom he hath
erected 1t.
This is a tomb that holds no body,
This is body held in tomb.
But is its own body and its tomb.
The answer is not known. and so ev-
cry nimble wit is invited to exercise it
self on the tough old puzzle.

ties, butter workers, cans, creamers,
apparatus for sterilizing and pasteuriz-
ing and vessels for setting and ship
ping milk An exhibit will be made
with special reference TO the sanitary
and hygienic management of the ami
mails themselves, the stables which
they occupy and the buildings in which
the milk and cream are cared for 1t
has been found that nearly all dis
eases To which dairy cattle are subject
can be avoided by cleanliness and prop
er management. The germ theory Of
the transmission of disease has had a
revolutionary effect in dairy manage
ment, and the Importance Of the OBJ
servance of hygienic rules will be
graphically portrayed. The ventilation
of dairy buildings. having due regard
Tor the comfort and health Of the ami
mails, has been developed upon scien-
tific lines. and present knowledge upon
this feature of dairy construction will
be shown by means of proper models.
The exhibit Of dairy products will in
clude milk and cream in all their COM
mercia forms, embracing pasteurized,
sterilized and condensed milk, butter
and many varieties Of cheese.
America has never produced a dis
tinctive breed Of beef or dairy animals,
but scientific breeding has so improved
upon the imported stock that il is said
the American product would hardly be
recognized in the land of its origin.
The effort will be made at this EXPOSE
ton to bring to the attention OF stock
growers, dairymen and unscientific
breeders OF beef and dairy cattle the
advantages to be derived from the pos
session Of choicer and more efficient
breeds.
1t is said that half the dairymen In
the United States are milking cows
with no profit TO their owners, while IL
Is possible for well bred cows, whose
milk Is marketed at normal prices. to
yield profit Of 500 per annum. This
lesson i'm profit and loss concerns every
one who devotes any part of his time
to dairy work.
The judging Of cattle will take place
in the Stadium. where the honors will
be bestowed and where an audience of
10000 people may witness these for
malities. The live stock buildings will
accommodate not less than 900 cat
tle. and their construction is upon plans
best adapted for the comfort and con-
venicnce OF the animals and herdsmen.

The Vampire Hat.

South America. especially Venezuela. 4

head puts an end to the animals ex-
istence.
The extraordinary part OF the expert
ment lies in the fact that the bat does
not at once reject the cigarette, as he is
of course at liberty to do. There are
many who affirm that the bat really
does enjoy the tobacco. The probabili-
ty is that the animal is so maddened
by fear and pain that he puffs away.

straight, strong lines. No Queen Anne

uniformity Is that the French mind

The Remarkable Record of an EaRi-
nccr Who Has Never Hurt
Passenger.

II takes an al-arouud man to be a
good locomotive engineer. No calling
or profession requires clearer brain,
stOutcr heart ard steadier nerve,
says Lcsic's Weekly, That Mr.. William
II. Gordon, OF East Milestone, y. j..
possesses these qualities in an eminent
degree Is evident from The fact that he
has been in continuous ard uuinter-
ruptcd service rs a railroad engineer for
- years.
More remarkable still is The fact that
~ of these years have been spent on
what is known in railway pariauce as
zone run" that between Jersey City
and East Milestone. Mr.. Gordon began
his raj way life in May, 1915, AS fire
man on the Camden q Amhoy road. \
year later he became the engineer Of
the famous "Johnny BuIl' on this line,
where he remained until lS47. In 1853
he came to his present post of duty,
and has been there ever since.
In all these years he has never had IA
serious accident and has never hurt a
passenger. Mr.. Gordon recently cele-
bratcd his 18th birthday, when he re-
