This, it should be remembered, is
in addition to the very complete
and liberal list of premiums given
by the fair to all other breeds of
cattle. The officers of the great
association and of the fair have
had assurances from exhibitors
which indicate that the display this
year will be the largest ever made.
on the Minnesota fair grounds, and
that the auction sale of Shorthorns
andlHerefords, which has been made
a feature of the display, will be one
of the best of the series.
At the Minnesota Fair, the cattle
are judged in great circus tent,
so arranged that the thousands of
people can see the cattle in the
ring, and the auction takes place
under similar conditions. Cattle
bought at the fair are transported
to the farm at nominal rates.
The influence of the Minnesota
Fair in educating the farmers of the
Northwest in raising pure bred
stock and in introducing many fine
animals to Northwestern farmers,
has been very pronounced and has
already greatly increased the stand
ard of stock raising in this part of
the contry.
The Minnesota State Fair is held
on the fair grounds midway be-
tween Minneapolis and St. Paul,
and this year it will open on Mon
day, August 20 and close on Satur-

then they have been successful in
developing an annual display of
pure bred cattle not equaled among
the state fairs of the country.
