International Live Stock Exhibition.
Will be Made at Chicago to Take Care of q
Greater Crowd Next Year.

Visitors who attended the Internation-
al Live Stock Exhibition this year saw
bigger show of fine, pure-bred stock than
vas ever before exhibited in this eoun-
try. The entries of cattle, sheep and /
hogs in the pure-bred department ex-
ceeded those of last year by more than
two hundred head. In the breeding
section were registered 1921 head and
in the fat class the total entries were
ss6. This does not include, of course,
the car load lots that were shown in the
spen yards. The entries in every de-
partment were larger than year ago,
showing that the interest in the big show
is growing. There were more exhibitors
from Canada this year and some fine
animals were brought to the show from
that country.
Greater delegations of college stud
ents, professors and officials attended
the sixth annual International than ever
before. Illinois was first in number
with contingent of over seventy-five.
Michigan was second with over sixty,
and North Dakota sent delegation of
about twenty-five young men interested
in live stock. The trip was made very
pleasant by visits to the various places
Of interest in the stock yards and about
the city.
Saturday, the 10th, was students day
in the big amphitheatre and teams OF
student judges from several leading col
leges were given first chance to place

fsss-eS---< general comment that The
International has never before seen
stock, of such merit as was shown at the
exhibition just past. Naturally the
Shorthorns, with their popular distinc-
ton, held sway numerically, there being
a78 entries in all. Interest centered
during the judging in a most memorable
contest. 1t resulted in Harding's two.
year-old bull, Whitehall Marshall, de.
feating his sire, Whitehall Sultan, for the
position of senior sweepstakes bull
This did not occasion much surprise as
the. Harding herd came prepared to win
with one or the other.
The event of the Sherthorn contest
followed. 1t witnessed the investing Of
the grand championship in the Wiscon'
sin animal, and Whitehall Marshall was
installed as grand champion of Short
horns at the sixth International.
The Herefords composed popular
and excellent class and managed tc
carry off lions share of the prizes in
the car lot classes. AS class they
showed careful handling and the out
standing points of good breeding, conse
quently the final decisions of the judges
were made on small margins. Cargil
4 Mcmillan were exceptionally favored
winners in Herefords and very gener
Gus share of the money went to them.
The Aberdeen Angus was strong
class we'll represented by three true ano
noble representatives of the breed dis
played. Prince Ito end was picked a:
grand champion bull, and Blackbirt
a6th, owned by c. ]. Martin, as granc
champion COW.
