News Special

feeders from Nov. 30th to December ,, when the International Live Stock Exposition will crowd it's interior with choice breeds of cattle. sheep, swine and horses.
 With it's $75,000 offered in prizes and it's entries closed the Exposition has broken all records in every de- partment in regard to the number of exhibits. Every breed of cattle, sheep, swine and horses will be rep- resented on much larger scale. the arrangements for the show have been better provided for, and the great stock show of 1910 will go down in history as the most comprehensive, the most complete, the most modern, advanced and up-to-date of all the exhibitions, wonderful as they have been which have preceded it.
 The most renowned judges from the old country, and the most ex- pert in this will come together for the purpose of displaying the com- bined talents of both, and pronounce ing judgment upon the various clas- ses, that will be supreme and beyond appeal.
 A pound of practice is worth a ton of theory, and in no industry can this be turned into more gratifying results than it can in the live stock world, for if a man has his own opinions in regard to live stock he is proceeding on theory, but when he stands near and sees the most competent judges ill the country pronounce upon the various classes, he can tell where it is that he has made mistakes and turn past ia lure into future success.
 Pres. H. J. Waters, of the Kansas Agricultural College on recent oc- casion expressed himself as follows
 'The International Live Stock EX- position is the court of last resort ir all matters pertaining to the i'm provement of live stock. It is the place where all controversies re- garding superior merit are settled for the year. and as such contributes 3 great deal more to live stock inn provement than any other single agency in America. As an object lesson it is unequaled on the conti- nent As a means of awakening in- terest in improved live stock, it and similar shows are indispensable. It is liberal education ill live stock production for any farmer, breeder or student
 For any breed of cattle, sheep, swine and horses to be even mention ed as prize winners at this show, stamps their breeders as men who know their business, and marks them as breeders whose stock will realize higher prices than those of others, and not only is this the case in regard to the breeders of the act ual winners, but it means a trench dous lot to all others, whose stock though not fortunate enough to be among the prize takers. is deemed worthy of competing against such a1l- imals and only requires little more perseverenoe until they themselves are counted among the winning own CTS.
 ''It may be interesting to state that the International Live Stock Exposition, from comparatively small beginning. eleven years ago, has assumed such importance in the live stock world, as to render it's an- nual occurrence an absolute neces- sity. not only on account of it's be- ing the high court of appeal, the court of last resort to stockmen, but because it sets the stamp of approval upon those of our domesticated ami mals that are most in demand, and establishes a standard among stock that must be lived up to in order to realize for the breeder, feeder and farmer the highest price for his produce.
 ''The day of the inferior animal the slow feeder and the tardy money getter, is passed and in order to suc- ceed and obtain the best resul in the shortest possible time, stockmen must breed for the types set by th' s great internat' 'onal tribunal, follow it's mandates, adhere to. is principles and abide by the findings Of it's 1udg- es, in order to breed that which best. reaches maturity the quickest, and realizes the highest price i'll the shortest time.
