Symboleer, the Angus champion
steer, and other ariStocratic cattle
from the Kansas State Agricultural
College, will be shown in the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition next
month in Chicago. Symboleer and
his record are particularly interesting
in one respect; that is, that the
animal was bred at the college and
fed there by the college students. In
deed, nearly all the cattle to be shown
by the college at Chicago are college
bred, very important point.
Symboleer was the champion calf at
the International at Chicago two
years ago. He was the champion
yearling last year in the same show,
and the reserve grand champion of
America. Symboleer was grand
champion last year and this year at
the inerstate Fat Stock Show in st.
Joseph, and he was the champion of
his class last year and this year at
the American Royal in Kansas City,
giving him record of winning the
highest honors every time he has en-
tered the ring. No steer except
SymbOleer has ever won two champion
ships in the International. Symboleer
has won two and is running for the
third. This fine animal is two years
old now, and weighs 1,730 pounds.
Fed by the students of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, he is a
living demonstration of what their is
in Kansas corn and alfalfa.

investigate afterward.
