half-brother to the animal that won
last year, and secured a second vic.
tory in the second year. In other
I classes he had excellent winnings. but
the big victory was the sweepstakes
for the best steer. This victory proved
that Manitoba-grown barley and oats,
and prairie hay, had properties better

being superior to other grains in fat
tening and finishing qualities. Not
only this, but Glencarnock's victory
proves that the climate Of the prairie
provinces of western Canada. in COM
bination with rich foods that are pos
sessed by that country, tends to make
cattle raising a success at little cost.
