THE STANDARD BRED HORSE.
An American Type That at Last VIII
Be Recognized In the Show
Rina.

At last the standard bred horse, one
OF the few types of American live
stock In existence, Ia to be recognized
with classification In the show ring
At the Denver show in January. For
years the educational institutions have
protested against the standard bred
trotter as not the horse to recommend
to the American farmer. This pre-
iudice was largely due to the fact that
the breed was principally regarded as
a race horse and while they were bred
by thousands Of American farmers al.
most every breeder was busy watching
his c@ts for the development of the
100000 trotter that all have hoped
for and so few have realized. But
there has been a class of breeders
through the West who have con-
sistently bred this horse for utility.
The farmer not only wants a horse
to pillow and draw heavy loads. b-st ~
wants light horse that can take him
to town easily and qutckl and as II
grown to be one Of the most useful
and popular all over the country.
The action OF the United States gov
ernment in selecting this breed from
which to develop an American car
riage horse has had the effect of tupn-
ing attention to this breed in late
years and investigation shows that as
foundation type for either a carriage
horse or fancy saddler. there Is none
better. At the Denver Stock Show.

Standard blood. the show is likely to
prove Of great interest in an educa-
tional way as to the possibilities In

Draw S,ockmen and Farm
ers to Denver,

The Seventh Annual National West.
ern Stock Show. which will be held in
Denver during the week of January
1920. promises to be the greatest Of
all the shows yet held there This
big annual event has grown to be the
principal agricultural event of the
year in the intermountain country.
every year 1t has extended its in.
rluence and has developed into q
great national exhibition or exposi-
ton. The secret of the success OF
this show is the fact that the prime
object. that OF education. has never
for momen. been forgotten. While
the entertainment part is not over
looked. even the entertainment has
more or less of educational value and
the strictly circus features are elimi-
mated.
The show consists of four great de-
partments, each a show in ITSELF
There is the stock show, which takes
In the breeding and fat stock both in
single entries, groups and car loads.
Then there is the Horse Show, which
provides the entertainment and at the
same tinic demonstrates the horse in
all Of his phases. The National West
ern Poultry Show Is one of the big
features and very popular and the
reed and Forage exhibit takes in .
wide range Of crops that can be grown
in the West and which are suitable
for the production Of live stock.
The commercial end of the show In
found in the carload exhibits, where
farmers and stockmen exhibit the
product of the ranch and range in COM
petition and after the competitive
test and awarding of ribbons the stock
is sold at public sale, giving the
further test of actual value in dollars
and cents. In addition there are held
sales of pure bred cattle. horses, sheep,
hogs and poultry, which provides the
farmer and stockman an opportunity
to secure choice breeding stock at fair
prices.
AS an entertainment, the big show
is well worth visit. As an educa-
tional medium and strictly business
proposition. no stockman or farmer
In the West can afford to miss It.
Last January more than $4,000 West
and farmers visited the
show. It h expected that nearer 40.-
600 viii attend the coming show and
the railroads have made rates that

MRS. HEN AND HER HUSBAND.
important Personages In the Future
Prosperity Of the Great West.

It Is only within the last few years
that the Western farmers have com
menced to realize the Importance OF
the lowly hen and her husband in the
great economic development of the
West. Most farmers have usually
turned over the poultry end of the
ranch to their women folks" and
have regarded that part of the ranch
as Of very little importance. The es-
tablishment Of the National Western
Poultry Show as department of the
big annual show at Denver opened the
eyes Of many to the Importance of this
industry and the fact that good blood
counted in poultry breeding just the
same as in breeding horses and cattle
AS a direct result of this first big
show, farmers and stockmen from all
parts of the West carried home some
fancy bred chickens and results have
been SO satisfactory that there has
been a universal demand that the
show be continued. The National
Western Poultry Show to be held IN
connection with tho stock show at
Denver January 1920, will be the
greatest exhibition of fine poultry
ever held west of the Missouri river.
Entries are being. made from all parts
of the West and the net result will
be an exhibition that will rank this
show among the greatest national af-
fairs of the kind held in this country.
Judges of national reputation have
been secured and the size of the show
will only be limited by the amount
of room at the disposal Of the show
management.
This feature Of the big winter show
in Denver is one Of the most popular
to the farmers and ranchmen and
their wives. 1t provides an oppor.
tunity for them to secure some choice
bred birds OF whatever breed they
fancy and the results will be noticed
shortly In the increased production
and better quality of the poultry and
eggs produced in the West.
