A.C. Nj Gillivray's Polled Angus herd
was in this procession for a little while
and was much admired. w. Z. Richards
and s. T. Lowery each had very fine
Aberdeen Angus bull in line. E. II.
Brewster led his famous John Jacob AS
tor at the head of the Hereford exhibit.
A very attractive feature of the pa
rade was the really grand procession of
pure bred draft stations and mares, the
Little Missouri Horse Company figuring
most conspicuously with some forty head
of the different draft breeds. Keen.
judges, both local and from afar, pro-
nounced the company's exhibit one of
the best ever seen at any state fair.
Famous imported sires and dams of the
Percheron, Shire and Clyde breeds, fol-
lowed by their progeny, raised at the
company's ranch, furnished an unusually
clear object lesson. of what a and is
being done on u western grass by the
judicious selecting and mating of high
class sires and dams. With such a great
collection of sires at the head of their
herd it is small wonder that the Little
Missouri Horse Company today own
what is generally conceded as being one
OF the finest and largest herds of pure
bred and high grade draft horses in the
world. A. G. Huidekoper. president of
the Little Missouri Horse Company,
shows himself a shrewd and clever judge
in his selection of his foundation stock,
and his plucky efforts and confidence in
the country have certainly been reward
ed by results which any man might just
iy be proud of.
Mr.. Huidekoper, Jr, rode the famous
thoroughbred "Kinvarra," a beautiful
n-N0cnnk~ksrxAa~ kI4 -.0cA ,n~ln~pH k,,on
of the American race horse, the kind
Manager W. G. Clark certainly
thought in the arrangement of this
splendid exhibit. Each attendant of a
horse had stamped on the sleeve of his
coat the L. M. H. Co. brandt T. The
cars in which the company's stock was
brought from their Gladstone barns to
Dickinson also bore this brand in addi-
ton to the firms name lettered on great
white streamers on the side.
E. Berry's handsome standard bred
stallion +. Jay Bee was very much in
evidence in the parade. He was fol-
lowed by some of his get, who showed
that their sire, aside from being a great
individual himself, is able to reproduce
his many sterling qualities in his prog
eny.
