The State Fair association has decided
TO offer two distinctly new prizes this year
for draft horses raised in America. There
are the regular prizes in each class as
formerly and in addition two new prizes
in each class for domestic horses raised
by the exhibitor. This has been brought
about by the suggestion of Hon H. G.
Mcmillan, district attorney for Northern
Iowa, a noted horse breeder. who claims
that the draft horses should be raised by
the farmers who can work the mares, and
that there is more money in raising horses
than in raising cattle.
