FROM FRIDAY 3 Ddlly.
The decision of the executive com
mittee in locating the next meeting OF
stock yards in the great exposition
building in Chicago, Oct. 10 to 10 was
an official act of the greatest i'm
portance and shows conclusively the
sagacity and good judgment of the mer
on whom was placed the responsibility
of directing the affairs of the National
Dairy Show association.
This decision meant much to the
dairy interests of the country and will
be regarded as cause for congratula-
ton on the part of everybody who are
in any way interested in this great in
dustry and its farther development.
This place is ideal for many reasons
The size of the building, its exhibit
space, its seating capacity, its arena for
cattle Judging, its large assembly hall.
its many committee and lecture rooms,
its comfortable and convenient cattle
stalls, its convenience to feed for stock.
its side track facilities for shipping and
unloading live stock and merchandise
right at the show, the splendid hotel
accommodations within block of the
building and its accessibility to and
from all parts of the city through the
most complete transportation advan-
tages, all combine to make the place an
attractive one and will be strong and
prominent factor in the success of the
second national dairy show.
The building is 600X3l0 feet, there
will be 10000 square feet Exclusive of
aisles) substantially prepared and ar
ranged for exhibits of all kinds of mod
ern appliances and improved machinery
used in the dairy, on the farm, in the
creamery, in milk plants and ice cream
factories, as well as such as are used
as adjuncts or in close relationship to
dairying.
Among the many interesting exhibits,
there will be working dairies, sanitary
milk plants and educational exhibits
made by the United States department
of agriculture and the National Associa-
ton of Dairy and Instructors and In
vestigators.
This building has an amphitheatre
that will comfortably seat 10000 people.
In full view of the amphitheatre is an
arena or show ring where the herds of
thoroughbred dairy cows will be eX-
hibited. The breeds represented will be
Jerseys, Holstein, Guernsey, Ayrshire
and Brown Swiss and there will be at
least 500 of the record breakers. There
is a large assembly hall that will be
used for holding meetings in. An at
tractive program will be prepared for
meetings of creamery butter makers
and dairy farmers. The most renowned
educators along these lines will address
these meetings. In addition to this
there are smaller rooms where breeders
meetings and committee meetings can
be held. The Transit house, which is a
first class hotel, is located right by the
exposition building and will be con-
yenient for exhibitors who want to be
close to the show.
The location of this building is Forty
third and Halsted streets and the facil-
tiles for reaching it are probably not
exceeded by any other point in the city
of Chicago. All car lines that do not
90 direct there, make connections with
some car line that does and transfer
can be obtained, making the cost of
getting to the exposition building from
anywhere, within the city limits of
Chicago by street ear, 5 cents. In ad-
dition to this, there is elegant steam car
service from the LaSalle street station.
1t is assured that the elevated railroad
will be running within block of the
building by the time the show opens,
There will be $4,000 awarded in cash
prizes, medals, cups, and diplomas to
exhibitors of dairy cattle and makers
of creamery and dairy butter and
cheese. A very interesting part of the
program will be judging contests for
dairy school students, who will com.
pete with each other in judging dairy
cattle and dairy products. Special
prizes and medals and diplomas will be
given to exhibitors of market milk and
cream.
The reserving of spare by exhibitors
the preparation of dairy herds from all
parts of the United States, the interest
manifested and the hearty cooperation
of agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations. together with the strong
favorable sentiment towards a nationa
educational meeting of this character
and the unprecedented favorable loca
conditions will certainly make this in
fact as well as in name the '.greatel
national dairy show"
The national corn exposition will be
held at the same time and will cooper
ate with the National Dairy Show as
ISOLATION to secure special law rates or
all railroads and the two shows com
bined will bring more agriculturists te
the city than have ever been congregat
ed there at any one time. Every corr
grower is interested in dairying ana
every dairy farmer should learn more
about growing corn.
