Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 14.-The depart
ment Of agriculture will issue in a few
days report Of the Canadian exhibits
of livestock at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at st. Louis. This report
will show results most gratifying to
Canadians. In horses, cattle, sheep and
swine the Canadian exhibit was excep-
tionally good, while in poultry Canada
practically swept the boards.
In sheep, with seventeen exhibits in
nine classes, and with a total premium
list Of $27, GA, Canada won $12,446 in
cash, twentty-three diplomas and seven
Iincolus and Suffolks the Canadian ex-
hibitors carried off everything.
In swine, Canada had four exhibits,
competing in four classes, and from a
prizelist of $12,451, took $1,000, three
premium championships and six diplo-
| mas.
In view of the customs difficulties
placed in the way of Canadian exhib-
itors by the United States, the domin-
ion government promised to duplicate,
dollar for dollar, the winnings of Cana
dian exhibitors, and this will be done
as soon as the certificates from the au-
thorities at st. Louis reach Ottawa.
