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 16
or II breeds recognized in this country
and Canada, including beef and dairy
cattle, will have 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 in this feature of
the show. The National Live Stock as
structive 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, Holstein, 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 a 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 will be given to the proper
manipulation of dairy products.
In this connection will be shown all
sorts of churns, separators, watts. bot
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 hygienc 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 q
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 scen.
tho 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,
mercial forms, embracing pasteurized,
sterilized and condensed milk, butter
and many varieties of cheese
America has never produced a dis,
tinctive breed Of beef dairy animals
but scientific breeding has so improved
! upon the imported stock that it is said
