BIG STOCK SHOW
Live Stock Departments at
State Fair Are Crowded.
Cattle Displays Are Best Ever
Seen on Grounds.
EXCELLENT SWINE AND SHEEP
More Than 1900 Entries in
Poultry Department.
Items of General Interest to
Breeders of Stock.

The livestock show at the state fair
is adjudged by the experts as being the
most complete ever seen in Topeka.
Some of the best herds in the country
are to be seen in the cattle department,
and while although the scare due to the
horse sickness in the western part of
the state has kept some horse displays
away, still the show is a good one.
The big cattle barn which has ca
pacity of $50 head is OVERCOMING Con-
sequently it was necessary for the man
agement to arrange for temporary
quarters for the stock. Vacant stalls
in the horse barn are being occupied by
prize cattle. In the horse exhibit there
are particularly fine specimens of
Percherons, Belgians and coach horses.
The hog pens are overlooking and
the sheep department is crowded for
room The poultry show is the best
ever seen at a state fair in Kansas.
An entry fee was charged for the
first time this season, with the result
that the scrub stock was eliminated
and only the best specimens of the fowl
tribe represented.
DR. o. o. Wolfe is the superintendent
of the cattle department.
