shown by Henry Stunkel. There are
also some fine Jersey cows and one bull
that are worthy of mention, but there
were no cards on the stalls and the name
of the owner was not learned.
The exhibition of hogs is without
doubt the best ever seen in this city.
The breeders have taken care to get
hteir stock in condition for the exhi-
bition and they make a fine showing.
The hogs are so good that it is a mere
matter of fancy TO say which is the
better.
+. d. Humbert. of Nashua, Iowa, has
eight pens of Chester Whites that are
large and every hos in the eight pens
is a good one.
In the hog section the Durock Jerseys
are popular and the exhibition in this
line is a very fine one. There are eight
pens of red beauties from the Sunny
Side stock farm at Walton; ]. w. Gets
Of Freeport has two pens. and nine pens
are required to hold the exhibition of
Mr. and Mrs w. 4. Crow of Hutchin-
son. When people look at the popular
Poland Chnas they win find two pens
belonging TO Harry Z. Lunt Of the
Shady Lane stock farm. Charles o. Par
sons of Clearwater has three pens and
A. p Wright of the Park Place farm
Of Valley Center requires six pens TO
show his Poland beauties, while the eX-
hibit Of f. P. Mcclure of Haven requires
nine pens
The Sunny Slope farm of Emporia has
on exhibition eight pens og Berkshire
hogs that are attracting a good deal of
attention. J. 2. Sands * Sons of Pleas
ant View Iowa, have on exhibition nine
pens of the large English Berksires.
They are fine hogs and new to this sec
ton and large numbers of farmers make
inquiry about their ages TO ascertain how
soon they mature. II is the rule here
to sell hogs before they are a year old,
but the pigs of this variety show that
they mature rapidly.
Adjoining the hog pens are two pens of
fine southern Southdown sheep. from the
flock Of S. NJ Croft & Sons of Bluff
City. They are getting a good deal of
favorable comment from the visitors at
the fair grounds.
