sIaSm by the ag1ity Win which these
great teams OF magnificent animals
dashed about the ring in a series of
brilliant evolutions. After the rib
bons were distributed by the judges
the winning team was put through
fancy PAGES like skaters cutting figure
SIS upon the ice, and so close were
the margins as they curveted back
and forth across the track at Madison
Square Garden that the liveried grooms
had to fee in wild disorder to keep
out of the way OF their laundering
hoofs. Because of the keen rivalry
of this race the coming contest in Chi
cage between the same teams will be
all the more exciting.
Scope of the Show.
The widespread scope and character
of the International Live Stock exposi-
ton are demonstrated by the fact that
twenty-five states, one territory and
four foreign countries contributed ex-
hibits to the last show. Seventy-fve
thousand dollars in cash premiums, be-
sides numerous valuable trophies and
medals of honor. were distributed
among hundreds of exhibitors. Nearly
5000 animals were on exhibition, and
visitors from all over the United States
and many foreign lands were In at
tendance to the number of 100000.
These figures will undoubtedly be sur
passed at the coming show. which as
a whole and in every department is ex-
pected to surpass anything Of the kind
ever held before.
William Heap, recently reelected
president of the British Meat Dealers
United Associations in London and the
best known judge of fancy and fat bull
locks In the United Kingdom, has been
invited to judge the grade and cross
bred cattle as well as to select the blue
ribbon grand championship steers. he
is the first foreign judge to receive an
appointment.
Taken all in all, the coming live
stock show promises to be the greatest
event Of its kind ever held in the Unit
ed States-perhaps the greatest ever
held in the world. To any one it should
prove a liberal education. and to those
directly interested In live stock it win
be profitable as well. Held in the
worlds chief meat packing center and
in the midst of the earth's greatest
agricultural district, it cannot but ex-
hibit the furthest advance in all lines
of live stock raising.

the year TO Nov. 1o. 1909:

This increase of prices has been CO
incident with the stock show and at
least in part can be traced to its influ-
ence. The day of slipshod, haphazard
farming has passed by in the United
States. The tiller Of the soil and the
stock raiser must use the same intelH-
gence and science in his work-he must
be as much of a specialist, in other
words, and must know as much of his
business as men in any other calling.
Long ago it was discovered that what
is known as mixed farming e., not
only the raising of crops, but the feed
ing Of stock on the same farm, is the
sort that pays.
The progressive modern business
farmer and stock raiser reads, caicu-
lates and compares. He tests soils,
carefully selects seeds and studies
types Of animals best adapted to prof
liable feeding and market demands.
He discusses methods with others who
have been successful in his lines of
erldeavor, sees the results Of their
work and compares them with his
own. He finds interest, profit, recrea-
tion and enjoyment In the magnificent
opportunity to do all this and more at
such exhibits as the great annual
shows of the International Live Stock
exposition.
The Coming International.
The tenth and greatest live stock
show will be held in the international
amphitheater, which is 80 by 600 feet
and seats 10000 people, and about
twenty adjoining buildings at the Un-
ion stockyards, Chicago, added to
which will be the splendid prize car
load exhibits of cattle, sheep and swine
In the Union stockyards proper, Sc
ries of brilliant evening entertain
rnentS and the international horse show
OF Chicago, which was inaugurated
last year, embracing all classes OF
horses, and which is again to be held
this year in conjunction with the In
ternational Live Stock exposition.
Horses whose lineage dates back into
the dark ages will be seen in the ring
beside the most splendid specimens of
the English and Scottish types, whose
equals have never before been brought
together in such numbers in the histo-
ry of the show ring.
One of the most spectacular events
in the horse show will be the skin
hand contest of heavy draft horses,
Among the competitors will be the
magnificent six horse team of bays be
longing to Norris & Co. that won first
prize in the New York horse show and
the team of grays of Armour & Co.
that won second prize. The Armour
team was also prize winner at the
London horse show and was pictured
in a double page of one of the British
illustrated weeklies. The six-in-hand
race at New York was one of the most
exciting events in that great exhibit
ton. The rules provided that the
wheel horses should weigh not less
than $500 pounds. The crowds were
aroused to the highest pitch Of enthu-

"My little daughter who was

MRS. c. G. BENNETT,

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so. many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

Passed by the Senate and Signed
by the President.
Mr.. TAFT ISSUES STATEMENT

Declares the Bill Is Not Perfect BY
Any Means, Nor complete Com

Is, Nevertheless, a Sincere Effort to
Make a Downward Revision.
The tariff has been revised and the
extraordinary session of congress has
been brought to a close.
The conference report of the bill
was agreed to by the senate by vote
of AZ to 81, and soon afterwards the
concurrent resolution, making certain
changes in the leather schedule, was
adopted by both houses.
Seven Republican senators voted
against the bill. They were Messrs.
Bristow, Clapp. Cummins, Dolliver,
LaFollette, Beveridge and Nelson.
Just as the hands of the gold clock
IN the presidents room reached six
minutes past five, the Payne tariff
bill, as the measure will be known
was laid before the president He pick
ed up a pen supplied by Chairman

by both the vice president and the
speaker in signing the bill, and at
tached his signature. After writing
'William H. Taft" the president add

o'clock. August 5, 1909 w. H. T."
President Taft gave out a statement
embOdying hfs views of the new tariff
act, which he designates officially as
the payne bill" in accordance with
past custom of giving first recognition
to the framer of the measure in the
house of Representatives.
The president declares that while
the bill is not perfect by any means
nor "a compliance with promises
made strictly interpreted" it is. nev
ertheless a sincere effort on. the part
of the party to make a downward re
vision and to comply with the prom
ises of the platform.
