The International.
The Great Live Stock Show ct
Chicago.

That the International Live Stock
Exposition has found a warm spot in
the hearts of the live stock and agri-
cultural people Of The United States,
Canada and across the water brethren
is emphasized as never before by the
very much increased inquiry as to
rates and dates and the enormous
number OF cOngratulatOry letters on
the construction Of the New Coliseum.
That the Exposition is filing its mis-
sion by It's annual lessons clearly
taught TO the thinking man is ac-
knowledgej by the leading educators
Of the country. The show comes at u
time when 1t is convenient not only
for the father TO attend, but to bring
the boys and mother and the girls To
see and learn all about the wonderful
strides being made on domestic
animal production. TINS year IL is
held from December I'd TO 9th at the
Union Stock Yards, Chicago, and
POSSIBLY this years show means more
to the people at interest than any
previous event OF its characterin in their
history, as "A joining Of hands with
those who show 10y their acts that they
are willing to strengthen your hands
in the development Of the Live Stock
industry should be taken advantage
Of by every farmerstOckman in the
country. Low rates which will be
given py the railways will be adver-
tised later. The following interview
with Prof II. II. Wing of Cornell
shows what the East thinks Of this
Exposition:
students Of animal huSbandry will
look forward with much pleasure to
the completion of the new building in
which the international Live Stock
Exposition will be held this year
From personal experience | am con.
vinced that there is no place where
the students OF Animal HuS Dandry,
aud by the students Of Animal Hus-
handry | would include every man
who breeds animals, can learn so much
i'm so short a time as at this show.
The facilities for a close inspection
and study OF high Class animals will
this year be immensely improved, and
the stock men of America should, and
no doubt do, appreciate the llberality
OF the Union Stock Yards in providing
such ample facilities in advance of
the completion Of the membership
asked by them from the stock men as a
guarantee of the continuance Of the
show
Professor Herbert w. MumfOrd OF
Illinois is quoted in the following
short but plthy comment on the
InternatloGal:
1t is at the International that
breeders and BUYERS mingle To mutual
advantage. The breeder becomes
better Informed as to approved market
types, and thus the International be-
comes potent factor in giving direc-
tion TO the breeders efforts toward
live stock Improvement

Michigan Crop Report.
October 10, 1905.

The weather during September was
warm and dry. These conditions were
very favorable for growing crops.
There was no frost during the month
SO that most OF the corn fully matur-
ed. Beans were secured in good con-
dition and potatoes did nicely except
where they were affected with the
blight. The warm wealhe was favor
able for sugar beetS, but not so good for
wheat on account of the llessian fly.
Pastures were good and all kinds of
live stock in healthy aud thriving
condition.
WHEAT.
The final estimated yield Of wheat
is, in the northern counties Is and in
the central and southern counties and
State I9 bushels per acre. The quality
is good and only very little of it will
be unfit for milling purposes.
CORN.
The latter part Of the season has
been exceedingly fine for corn. Warm
weather aud frequen showers promot-
ed very rapid growth and inasmuch as
there has been no killing frost, corn
that had any kind Of Il start has
matured and will yield fairly well.
On low, undralned land, corn was
badly damaged and in some cases
entirely killed by high water last
spring. The estimated average yield
per acre in bushels is 30 in the south
ern and northern counties, 80 in the
central counties and 81 IN tho State.
POTATOES.
Early in the season conditions were
yery unfav0rable for potatOes. On
low land the seei rotted badly, SO that
the stand Was poor What was left
grew very nice y through the summer
months at a time when damage is
frequently done by drought. OF
late the crop has been badly affected
with blight. Correspondents all oyer
the State, almost universally agree
that potatoes are being damaged by
they will net be worth digging. In
asmuch as This is one of the best Of
our industries it stands farmers in
hand TO adopt the most practical
methods in order to prevent the dis
ease. The estimated average yield
per acre in bushels is 66 in the south
ern counties, 80 in the central coun-
ties, 80 i'm the northern counties and
6S in the State.
BEANS.
The weather during September was
fair for gathering beans and as re
suit the quality of the crop will be
good. The estimated average yield
per a re in bushels is Ii in the south
ern counties, 10 in the central cOur-
ties, II in the northern counties and
Is in the State.
