Never have there been such cat
tie in Iowa, or at least they have
never been exhibited at state fair"
This was the opinion expressed by
one of the judges Monday night af-
ter the days work in the stock pavil-
ion had been completed, and his re-
mark called for similar expressions
of appreciation from the rest of the
judges who had spent the afternoon
in the ring, and who were in a posi-
ton to compare the contestants with
those of previous years. Since the
exhibit last year the general tone of
stock, especially Iowa stock, has
crept upward, breeding being I'M
doubtedly stimulated by the encour-
agement of the State Agricultural col
lege, the stress laid on fancy stock
raising by the state agricultural de-
partments in their work among the
stockmen by the increasing popular
ity of state fairs and national shows.
Although no exhibits of national repu-
tation have been registered at the
fair, nor does any individual show
any particular increase in merit over
individuals shown in years previous,
yet the cattle men who know are
more than satisfied with the high
standard held by all the classes ex-
amined yesterday, as whole, and
feel certain that scientific breeding
is becoming more general every year.
