Special to The Republican.

judges Of live stock in the country
hive been selected to pass upon the
stock to be shown at the western live
stock show, January 29 to February 3,

tensive feeders of cattle in the world,
will Judge feeder cattle. Thomas
Cross, head cattle buyer for the Ma
tional Packing company and judge of
the fat cattle at the international at
Chicago, will judge all classes of fat
cattle. The single classes of sheep
will be judged by George McKerrow,
president of the state board of agricul-
ture in Wisconsin. Mr.. McKerrow has
won more prizes on pure-bred sheep in
the last ten years than any other ex-
hibitor in America. Charles Gray, sec
rotary of the American Galloway
Breeders association, winner of the

Chicago international in 1902, will
pass judgment on the Galloways.

a good market. A representative OF
the packers said:
"If we got a lot of fat stuff here
and paid less than the owners could
have sold it for at the river markets
the shippers would never come here
again. Such a policy would be very
shortsighted, because We want good
stock to come here"
Henry Gerhard, president OF the COL
orado Packing and Provision company
says: 'The fat stock shown at the
western live stock show will be pur'
chased here at a good, strong price
and will be killed in the Denver
plants"

the Western Packing company, says;
