UNIFIED STATES SENAlOR HAR-
RIS HAS BROAD IDEAS UPON
THE WORLDS FAIR EXHIBIT.
Worlds Fair, st. Louis, Aug. 13.-
Senator w. A. Harris of Kansas, who
is now in Europe as special commits
sioner for the, Worlds FairNto arrange
with foreign live stock men for the
exhibits of fine animals at the exposi-
ton of 1904, has definite ideas of what
the exhibit should be. Before his de-
parture abroad he said: e1
"My idea of the exhibit for the st.
Louis Exposition is that it should be
made a great international live stock
show. The breeds should be distinct,
typical and characteristic. There will
be many fine stock exhibits from the
United States and Canada and l believe
arrangements can be made for many
interesting foreign displays. I was
in Europe ten years ago and met sew
eral of the principal live stock traders
and breeders in England and on the
continent and also representatives of
live stock associations. They were
all interested in the stock raising in
| dustry in this country.
81 shall endeavor to interest these
men to the extent Of obtaining from
them exhibits of their herds and I be-
lieve they will besglad to send their
stock over when they learn the magni-
tude Of the exposition plans. l shall
also call upon the editors of the stock
publications in Europe, and if possible,
obtain their support. The first place
I shall visit after I leave Liverpool will
be York. where I am well acquainted
and where are to be found some of the
famous English breeds of cattle and
horses. From York l Shall go to Alb
erdeen, Scotland, where there are many
distinct breeds of high priced Short
horns and fine <trains in draft horses
and mutton. l shall also visit other
points in Scotland and Wales, and
after whichtI will go to England and
spend three weeks. There the stock
Rising associations have headquarters
and where a large part of my work will
be done.
Il expect to go to france, where
several breeds of fine coach horses and
heavy harness horses are raised, as well
as two distinct breeds of c.-ttle. From
France l shall probably go to Switzer.

Swiss dairy cattle and then go to Hol-
land, where several pure strains have
originated. among them the celebrated
Holstein Freisia1h cattle, of which
there are many in this country. I an

the Belgian coach horses.
