The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-02
DEPARTMENT
VERY COMPREHENSIVE

The 1903 sheep show is not larger
than the 1902 show, but it is undeni-
ably better in every other particular
The number of exhibitors is about the
same and the herds are even better Sc
lected, if smaller, than for the splendid
show last year.
The gratifying feature of the sheep
show is the leading place taken by the
Minnesota exhibitors, among whom are
the largest breeders and dealers in the
West and the winners of most Compel
tive prizes.
The sheep stable, the finest show
building of the kind in the United
States, is in charge of Supt. J. C. Mills
and and Assistant Superintendent
Charles Kerr. William H. Potts is judg-
ing the mutton sheep and Prof. McCon-
nell passes upon the fine wool breeds.
The exhibits are comprehensive, of
great value to farmers and sheep rails
erS and full of interest to the uninitiat-
ed. The big shed is, as it was last year,
full, and if the sheep show is to grow
in proportion with the rest of the fair
and the exhibitors say it villa new
sheep building or an addition to the
present sheds must be built for next
years fair.
None of the popular breeds are miss
ing from the show herds. Prize indi-
vidualS of the Delaine, merino, Shrop-
ford Downs, Broad backed Leicesters,
Southdown and Hampshire families vie
with each other from contending herds
and look with mild eyed wonder at the
big herd of Angora goats occupying
the southwest corner of the big build
ing. riu
The Minnesota exhibitors are out in
force. Boynton & WEIGH, Of Dexter
formerly of Rochester, are present with
seventy five head from the Golden Hoof
flock. Their Shropshires, with which
they have captured prize ribbons for
years, are given first place in their ex-s
hibit, which also includes fine f1ocks Of
Lincolnshires and horn Dorsets. Will
liam Boynton, head of the firm, was one
of the pioneer shepherds of Minnesota,
and beside holding the honor of being
the largest breeder and dealer in fine
sheep in the Northwest, has been very
active in bringing new breeders to Min
nesota.
A big herd of glossy-hair Angora
goats for sale purposes is a feature of
the Jean Du Luth farm, of Duluth. The
goats are one of the centerS of interest
with the ladies and children and one of
the prettiest exhibits on the grounds.
A large flock Of Shropshires completes
the Du Luth exhibit.
G. w. Baird, of Edna Mills, shows
two large f1ocks of Shropshires and De-
LANES. l.. w. Orr, Of Hill Side farm,
Alton, is the principal exhibitor of OK
ford Downs. He has ten of the broad
backed beauties in the competitive
show class and a fine lot of sale in
dividuals.
The show of Cotswolds and Ram
boufllets is large and comprehensive.
and in fact there is not q department
but shows improvement over last years
