sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock
Show In 1912, II was considered to be
q great victory for barley, oats and
grass versus corn. So that there
might be no doubt OF the superiority
Of barley feeding, Manitoba climate,
and judgment in selecting the animal,
Mr.. McGregor placed in competition
In 1913, another Aberdeen-Angus, a
halfbrother to the animal that won
last year, and secured a second vic
tory in the second year In other
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
than any contained IN corn, which In
the past has been looked upon as
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
Other winnings at the live stock
show which placed western Canada In
the class Of big victories were: Three
1rsts, seven seconds. and five other
prizes in Clydesdales.
The winners, Bryce, Taber, Suther-
land Sinton, Mulch Mclean, Hagger-
ty. Leckie and the University of Sas-
katchewan are like family names In
Saskatchewan. Each one had the
goods" that won honor TO himself and
combined made a name and record for
Saskatchewan.
