together for his own convenience. the
pleasure of fair visitors has been con-
suited in the arrangement of the loca-
tion of the swine, so that there are
various kinds under each roof. 1t is an
odd thing that while the animals are
of better quality this year they do not
run so heavy in weight. Experts say
this may be in part due to the high
price of feed or to the scarcity of
good grass, much grass being too dry
recently to be good as a fattener for
porkers Most of the "beasties' are
Durocs, Chester Whites, Poland Chinas
and Berkshires Paul Bros, of Laurel,
have about 100 head on display. and are
the largest exhibitors. Waltemeyer
Bros, Melbourne, have highly repre-
sentative display, and lessen Bros, or
Melbourne, are responsible for some
choice Durocs being on hand. Among
these are Advancer First, which took
first prize at the state fair last month,
and Golden Model, which took second
prize Walter Smith also has some fine
swine from Melbourne, which empha-
sizes the fact that Melbourne is g..
mighty important center when hogs are
in question. Connel Bros, of near Lau..
rel, also have some fine hogs on exhi'-
bition.
The heaviest hog of all the squealers
in Iowa is very much in evidence. He
weighs just half a ton He is Old Prince
Donald. aged years, and is the
property of Mr.. Smith, of Melbourne.
He has tusks almost like boar's,
which project from either side of his
mouth. and he looks as tho he would
be savage if loose, except for the fact
that he can not get around with much
agility when he has to take LOCO
pounds with him everywhere he goes.
His leg measures eleven and one-half
inches around at the shin bone.
"How much does he eat in day ="
was a question asked his keeper, WHO
was busy oiling his majesty SO the
flies would shun him.
Gust about four ears of corn was
the reply.
The questioner marveled at this UNI
til he was relieved by the man say
ing that Prince had "some" grass.
Horses Envy Of All Who See Them.
In horses there are more animals to
be seen than last year. They are be-
lieved to run heavier as to weights and
to be generally of quality superior
than that found in the last exhibit
ton. French draft Percherons lead in
the display, which runs more to stee'ds
for heavy hauling than to the lighter
grades of the equine. The farmer likes
a good horse and knows one when he
sees it, but his horse must be such
as can pull his share of a, load of lay
the same day that he has to pull light
buggy, and as the farmer is the man
that the fair is for, and who makes 1T
what it is, his kind of stock naturally
predominant. There are a few nice
roadsters on hand, light weights, but
the light draft horse is generally
thrown in the shade by his more
weighty brother
The heaviest representation of ami
mails is from the stables of G. =. Dan
nan, of Vancleve, who shows over two
dozen head that are of such quality
that poor man who looks at them

could almost become a horse thief from

Some Features of the Fair n II
u II Worth Your Time in Seeing

al different shows in different states.
1t is the only one of this class shown
George E. Dannan. Of Vancleve, has
some fine mares and colts, and E. j.
Brouhard, of Colo, has standardized
yearlng colt, handsome brute. that
was on the grounds last year nothing
but sucking.
Superintendent Warren Nichols is
greatly pleased with the infinite variety
that is in his department and evidence
of this variety is the likelihood that
he will have to create a special class
or two to accommodate some animals
that are not provided for in the stan
dard grades made out in the premium
list His son Stacy is represented in
the stables by a span of Norman geld
ings, full brothers, two and three years
old, respectively, a fine pair of ami
mails aggregating 1900 pounds. The
younger animal is the heavier of the
two by slight margin. These broth
ers are not the only pair representing
a family group. c. B. Dannan has a
pair of standard bred horses, aged 2
and years, the same as the ages
of the Nichols horses, which are full
proud to own. He has also a herd Of
stations and young colts among his
showing. Dannans greys are fine
ones, too.
NJ and P A. Boree own a fine stall
lion, half Belgian and half Norman.
which is shown, as well as a yearling
colt which it sired. and the colts
mother. The colt weighs 1850 pounds
and the mare $50, and the sight of the
two and the contrasting weights is in
teresting.
Harry Early has some splendid
Percherons and John Specs owns a
i horse which weighs just an even ton.
1t is a 5-year-old sire and styled a
Suffolk Punch. There are several
heavyweight stations of this sort
whose ponderous bodies give them a
forbidding appearance, but who are
as gentle as the proverbial lamb and
whose countenances look very friendly
when their forelocks are held aside
Contrasting with these horses which
weigh up in the hundreds are a herd
of Shetland ponies owned by F. G..
Houghton, of Albion, which includes
some babies. each of which weighs
a great deal less IIldH d Huiui ca
pounds. There is one little fellow
which weighs probably forty pounds,
which was literally an infant in arms
Yesterday. A man riding horseback
took it in his arms and carried it
around the race course, much to the
amusement Of the grandstand crowd.
The various kinds of motive power
which had the track for few minutes
were interesting. First was man
driving a horse after which there was
some auto and motor cycle squirting.
Following this a team of baby Shet-
lands was run around and later the
little pony carried by the horseman.
Quality Of Sheep Good.
The sheep display is comparatively
small, but some fine specimens are
shown. 8. T. Carter, two miles south
east 'of ,Marshalltown, has fifteen
Shropshires, all imported stock. with
some splendid yearlings, full bodied,
with heavy coats of wool. Frank Gift
ford, Joe Claspy, Wiley Ward and Ell
Packer, none of whose farms are more
than five miles from the city, have
stock in the sheep stalls, and all of it
is creditable. The breeds are stand
ard and the quality pleasing.
