The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-22
THE buildings prepared for the
4 exhibition of live stock at the

those that have ever been used at
any former exposition. At practi-
cally all previous expositions the
buildings have been built with the
idea of farm utility uppermost, while
those prepared for the Panama-Pa-
cific International Exposition are
built with the exposition idea upper
most.
Heretofore, the stalls have been
arranged at right angles to the man
gers so that the visitors who passed
in the rear of the animals had but
a meager chance to see more than
the tail end of the animals in their
stalls. Except when these animals
were led out to the show ring, or
for exercise, 1t was impossible for
the visitor to get any adequate idea
Of their conformation and appear
ance as whole.
Stalls at Angle.
AS one of the chief purposes of
the Panama-Pacific International Ex-
position is educational, and as all
departments have been built around
this central idea, the Department of
Live Stock has been planned along
this line, as well as for the benefit
Of the pure breeding industries as
whole, and especially for the west
ern states of America, which are, as
yet, new and undeveloped in the
pure bred sense. For these reasons,
the chief motive of the plans of the
Department of Live Stock has been
educational; and the placing of these
stalls at an angle of forty-five de-
grees will enable the visitor to see
and study the characteristics and
points of excellence Of the different
breeds, and to compare these with
each other, and with the different
types of the same breed.
At the last great exposition it was
found necessary to erect more than
fifty different stables to accommo-
date the exhibits of live stock, Nee
essarily, these were placed at some
distance from the show ring and this
arrangement resulted in delay in
moving the larger and heavier ami
mails into the show ring as promptly
as could have been desired.
Eight Enormous Barns.
In the Arrangement of barns of
the Department of Live Stock of the
Panama. Pacific International Expo
sition, more stall room is afforded
in the eight enormous barns which
surround the show ring than were
afforded by the more than fifty
barns at st. Louis. In the arrange
ment of barns at San Francisco each
animal may be led direct from his
stall into the show ring; hence there
will be no delay in the work of the
Judges, as the different rings can
be changed rapidly and without any
delay caused by the animals having
to travel long distances. These barns
are equipped with every modern con-
yenience and appliances for the COM
fort of the animals and will be main
tanned in the most sanitary condi-
ton possible under modern methods.
There will be no unsightly refuse on
view, and no disagreeable odors in
these stables at any time.
In preparation for the care of
these large collections of the differ
ent breeds of animals there has been
purchased and stored very large
supply of the finest hay, and there
is now being prepared about six hun
dred tons of very high class corn
of which, together
with the needed grains, alfalfa and
root feeds, which will be in storage
in the buildings especially provided
for this purpose, will make any kind
of feed readily available for the ex-
hibitor of any class of live stock.
Feed Sold.
1t is not required that the exhibi-
tor shall purchase his feed from the
exposition but this feed will be {
stored in anticipation of his needs
and will be sold to him by the De- |
partment of Live Stock without
profit.
