ers for they know that is true. The
advantage in raising this breed Is that
the beef can be shipped to a long dis
tanct market, while with the dairy
breeds, the market must be in close
proximity. Otherwise the marketable
product loses considerable of its
value.
A High Grade Exhibit.
A. Legg of Mimic has an exhibit of
high grade short horn cattle, which
while not so large as some of the 9TH
ers. Is decidedly valuable as an edu-
Gator for the farmers who desire to
improve their herds without disposing
OF them entirely and starting with
pure bred stock. Mr.. Legg has raised
his herd to its present high standard
from comparatively low grade stock.
In doing this he has used only the
best sires and by constantly carrying
out this plan now has herd which is
a credit to the state.
Incidentally he is breeder Of pure
bred hogs and has three pens of Eng
lfsh Berkshires which are among the
best In the state. A male, First
Choice" has a splendid pedigree and
while only little more than one year
old tips the scales at So. and is not In
excessive fat either. He Is decidedly
we'll formed, has the proper meat pro-
portions and Is remarkably easy to
Keep. In another pen are three Of his
get Choice Goods" and two sisters.
"Mayflower One" and NARROWER Two"
Choice Goods" is already sold, being
sold for a fancy price and the purchas-
er being so anxious to secure him that
he wired his acceptance of Mr., Legs
price for fear someone would get in
ahead of him. He goes to one Of the
best herds In Manitoba. Queen vio-
let" the brood sow exhibited in this
lot by Mr.. Legg is fine animal also.
The entire herd have the splendid
meat features we'll developed and at
the same time are sufficiently we'll
boned to take on any reasonable addi-
ton without suffering in consequence.
More Short Horns.
s. Fletcher, proprietor of the Spring
dale Stock Farm of Matteson, is show
ing herd Of nine Short Horns which
has few animals of exceptionally
strong points. They are splendid dual
purpose cattle and the herd is attract
ing considerable attention.
The Ladies' Department.
AS far as real interest in the fair,
and making good showing with their
exhibits, the ladies are surprising the
men this year in their eagerness to
show good specimens of work. The
entries Monday and Tuesday were ex-
ceptional in fine needle work of all de-
scriptions, fancy cooking and preserv-
ing. The art exhibit also is we'll rep
resented by the ladies. Mrs. George
Duis, Mrs. NJ. Stricken and Mrs. A. F.
Madison have charge of the needle
work booth and have showed excellent
taste in their arrangement of all the
articles brought in so far, arranging
them in manner to show off we'll their
various points of beauty and handi-
work. In this exhibit one notices work
sent in by Mrs. Frank Schlaberg, noted
for her fine needle work and artistic

linens of embroidered table linens,
mountmellick work, Battenberg and
