WHY THE Farmer ! j ! | !. {
AND HIS family

AND HIS family.
/ SHOULD ATTEND THE
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION
BY CAPT. A. II. WADDELL.
There are so many reasons why the
farmer and his family should attend
the great International Live Stock Exc
position at Chicago. that it is well and
opportune at this time to mention
some Of them. E'i ts5
This great Exposition, the greatest
indeed Of all similar shows, ds 30 apt
to be viewed by the farmer. breeder,
and stockman as merely q place
where he should go to see the anil
mails exhibited there, and for business
purposes only. This Is very narrow
view of so great and important sub
ject, for the animals seen at this E = q.
position, wonderful and extraordinary
as they are. are but the results Of
years OF labor on the great farms and
ranges OF the West. although they

and farmers Of this country. an object
lesson OF the highest ideals, and
school Of instruction to which all could
come and learn. s53S
1t goes without saying. that the men
who have made this great institution
possible, and the breeders and feed
ers and farmers who have made IT.
what 1t is, are men Of age and expert
ence; and in order to perpetuate and
improve this great school. and the
methods through which 1t has gained
its present day perfection, It IL abso-
lutely necessary that the sons Of these
men be permitted to see the show, and
30 start their lives of Improvement
from the advanced point at which their
fathers stopped. This can never b.
realized by remaining on the farm and
seeing only the stock their fathers
raised: for every son IL imbued With
the idea that his father breeds the.
best there is, and consequently. 10 un-s
der the impression that the height Of
achievement has been attained on the
home farm. Comparison 10 the only
disillusionizer, and 1t Is this above all
