Especial from the College.l
, The students of the stock class
tof the O.. A. c. returned from
their stock-judging trip on the
1880 train Friday. This trip was
, made possible by the generosity
of Senator Booth, who betrayed
Jail expenses. They started in a
Especial car attached to the 6:4o
freight Tuesday morning.
/ At independence they took a
Especial car over to Monmouth to
see Mr.. Stumps fine Cotswold and
Lincoln sheep. Some of these
sheep were imported from Eng
land, but others and better ones
were raised by himself. He will
take several of his sheep to the
st Louis Fair.
After taking dinner at Inde-
pendence they went down to
North Yamhill, where they were
met by Mr.. Brown and taken out
to Charles Ladd's Oak Hill Farm
to see his Shorthorns. Among
the animals judged by the class
was bull, which, as a calf, took
third place in the Chicago Fat
Stock show and which is going
back to try for first place at St.
Louis; a fine large bull just i'm
ported from Scotland; a white
Shorthorn COW, which for three
years was champion of Canada,
and the rest of the herd of twelve
which is to go to ST. Louis this
year.
After staying all night in North
Yamhill, they went to Mr..
Scott's farm, where they saw
Dorset sheep, Yorkshire hogs,
and an extra fine herd of the
milking type of Shorthorns. Mr..
Scott is very successful as a
farmer as we'll as a breeder of
fine stock and the boys pro6ted
much by the visit.
From Mr.. SCOTS they walked
over to William Ladd's Jersey
farm, Crystal Springs. Mr..
Ladd's Jersey herd is the largest
in the state. One of the cows,
Viola, took first place at the Pan
American Exposition and another
one has never been defeated ex-
cept by Viola. A number of his
other cows and one Of his bulls
were imported direct from the
Island of Jersey. The barns
and equipages are very extensive
and are fitted up perfectly.
Thursday morning they went
down to Scapoose. The first cat
tie seen here was Honeyman
Brothers Ayrshires. They have
the finest and largest Ayrshire
bull in America, and the cham
pion Ayrshire COW of the world.
The next cattle visited was
the champion Jersey herd of Ore
gon, owned by Mr.. West. One
of the cows of this herd has for:
three years won the prize at the
State Fair for butter production.
Another. Golden Fern Rose, was
lately imported from Jersey and
is a future prize winner.
The last cattle judged at Soap
poose was P. A. Fraker's Hol-
stein -Friesian herd of over fifty
lnllch cows, besides some fine
calves and bulls. One of these
bulls weighs over $500 pounds
and has for two years taken the
prize at the State Fair. His
COW Peek-a-Boo Arts is the best
Holstein COW in the Northwest.
Thursday evening they came
to Salem and the next morning
went out to do their last Judging
upon Gilbert & Patterson's herd
Iof Heresfords. The boys showed
here that the trip under the direc-
| ton OF DR.. Withycombe had
not been without its good results.
While here they Judged three
COWS which were imported from
England, one of them, Queens
Ideal, coming from the Queens
herd. The boys are now telling
of the good time they had on the
trip and especially the dinner at
Crytal Spring Farm.
