SAINT PAUL, July 12-For the
farmer or stock grower
who shows the gra n
champion steer or heifer at the North
western Live Stock Show to be held
at the Union Stock Yards at South
Saint Paul, Nov. Is to Is, a series of
premiums are offered which aggregate
S445.OO. To win this sum the animal
must take first premium in half
dozen classes in which it may be
entered and must stand the inspection
of some of the most critical judges in
the entire Northwest. There are
special premiums offered, worthy of
competition.
This live stock show will differ
from those usually seen at county
fairs or meetings of live stock associat-
ions in that it will be for market
type animals only and carries no
classes or premiums for breeding
stock. 1t is the animal which offers
the most tempting cut of porterhouse,
the most juicy roast, the most invit-
ing loin, that will receive attention.
One of the objects of the exhibition
is to draw the growers of the market
cattle together where they may eX-
change ideas, discuss the values of
feed the relative merits of the various
breeds of market cattle and tell each
other things which will be of inestim-
able value in the year to come.
The cattle division Will contain
two general classes, one for pure breds,
and one for grades and cross-breds.
The single entries Of steers and
heifers will be grouped according to
ages. All animals under one year of
age will be shown in one lot. Those
under two years and over one will be
shown in another lot, while those two
years and under three will comprise
still another lot. For each there
will be six prizes, ranging from $500
down to $500 and the champion of
the lots will be awarded $500.
In each class may also be shown a
herd consisting of one steer or heifer
two years old and under three; one
steer or heifer one year old and under
two, and one steer or heifer under
one year of age. The premium for
this competition will be $4,000 for
the first, $500 for the second and
$500 for the third. While these
premiums will apply to any and all
entries in these classes, special prem
iums will be offered in addition. The
American Shorthorn Association will
duplicate the regular premiums won
by pure bred or grade shorthorns.
Farm, Stock & Home of Minneapolis
has offered $500 as a special prize
for the grand champion steer
or heifer. The Live Stock Breeders
Association of Minnesota and North
Dakota each offer S35 90 for the best
steer or heifer by an exhibitor from
those states.
The management of the show par
ticularly desires to encourage amat-
eur exhibitors and have offered to
those who have never before exhibit
ed at state fairs or fat stock shows,
four prizes ranging from $1,000 to
S.. 90 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. III. +. Brown, proprietor of
the Browndale Farm, Minneapolis,
at the last annual banquet given for
the exhibitors of this show, strongly
urged the necessity of bringing out
amateur exhibitors and offered to
duplicate any prizes were won by
pure bred or grades shorthhorns.
These same animals are also eligi-
BILE for entry in the dressed carcass
division where there are four prizes
for each lot from $500 to $500 with
prize of $4,000 for the champion
carcass. If the grand champion car
cass is the same animal that wins

ium of $4,000 will also be awarded it..
