conditions as they are and, in sub

call attention to the fact that only
three hogs, all owned by the same
breeder, were exhibited this year, not
a dozen head of horses were shown.
and while several individual herds of
different breeds of cattle were on ex-

in the Red Polled and Holstein breeds.
Herds of three different breeds OF
sheep were shown but with practi-

petition in one class only of the Ram
bouillet breed.
