cross-breds.
The single entries of steers and

two, and one steer or heifer under one
year of age. The premiums for thi!
competition are $4,000 for the first,
$500 for the second and $500 for
the third.
While these premiums, which are
very liberal, apply to any and all en-
tries in these classes. the aggregate
of special premiums makes it possible
for the exhibitor under certain con.
ditions to win some valuable prizes.
The American Sbcrthorn associ-
alton will duplicate the regular pre-.
miums won by pure-bred or grade
shorthorns.
The Farm Stock and Home of Min.
neapolis, offers $500 as special
prize for the grand champion steer
or heifer.
The Live Stock Breeders associa.
|tions of Minnesota and North Dakota
each offer $500 for the best steer
or heifer shown by an exhibitor from
those states.
The management of the show par
ticularly desires to encourage anna.
teur exhibitors and for that purpose
has offered to those who have never
before exhibited at state fairs or fat
stock shows four prizes, ranging from
$4,000 to $500 in each of the lots for
single entries Of pure-bred cattle and
four prizes, ranging from $500 to
$500, in each of the lots for grades
and cross-breds.
Mr.. H. F. Brown, proprietor of the
Browndale Farm, Minneapolis, at the
last annual banquet given for the ex-
hibitors Of this show, strongly urged
the necessity for bringing out amateur
exhibitors and offered to duplicate
any prize that this association might
offer for that purpose, provided such
prizes were won by pure-bred or grade
shorthor1s.
These same animals are also eligi'
BILE for entry in the dressed carcass
division, where there are four prizes
for each lot, from $500 down to $500
with a prize of $4,000 for the cham
pion carcass. If the grand champion
carcass is the same animal that wins
the grand championship on foot, the
association harmony special premium
of $4,000 will also be awarded that
animal.
The herdsmaa who fits the grand
champion of the show is not forgot
ten. A beautiful gold medal will be
given to him by 1.-THE Farmer" of St.
Paul.
Taking into consideration all the
special prizes, it would be possible for
the grand champion steer or heifer OF
this show to win a total purse of $443.
This should be an incentive to every
farmer in the territory of this show
to at least make an attempt to win
some of these prizes.
This show is for market types OF
animals, and carries no classes for
the breeding stock. 1t is therefore the
hope of the management that the far
mers will show their appreciation OF
the opportunities offered them to win
liberal prizes by fitting some animals
for competition.
