COLLEGE LIVESTOCK
REVELATION TO ALL
Mock Sale Saturday Brings Out
Classy Bunch of Cattle, Horses,
Swine and Sheep

live stock held last Saturday under
the auspices of the Saddle and Sill
loin club of the State College, and
It's Ereat value from other stand
points is not overlooked, was bring
ing to the attention of the citizens
OF Pullman, farmers from all parts
OF the county and live stock men
from every corner of the Northwest
the magnificent thoroughbred ami
mails which stock the college farm.
AS the parade of the AZ head of live
stock which had been groomed for
the occasion by students of the an
tmal husbandry and dairy divisions
of the department of agriculture
moved through Main street just
prior to the big sale, hundreds of
people voiced their surprise and ex-
IRENE satisfaction at the wonderful
display of the best live stock the
Northwest affords. 1t was an edu-
cation to every person who wit
messed the parade, and the streets
were lined with onlookers, and spoke
volumes of praise for the great good
which Professor William Hislop, new
head of the division of animal hus-
bandry, is accomplishing.
The parade was headed by the col
lege band, and each animal, groomed
to the minute and clean enough to
grace anybody's parlor, was led by
the student consignor who for three
weeks had spent hours each day in
placing the animal in the best pos
sible sale condition. The big sale
was held at the corner of Paradise
and Pine streets, and the immense
crowds overflowed the bleacher seats
which had been constructed for the
occasion. The sale was conducted
by L. H. Linbarger and George Cue,
of North Yakima, auctioneers who
have cried some of the biggest live
stock sales in the Northwest, and
every particular of the afternoon
m owed with the precision of clock
work.
The animals were placed under
the hammer and sold" to the stu
dent whose bid was highest. The
entire sales totaled $18,0S0, within
$1,000 of the inventory of the same
stock taken March 81 by Professor
Hislop, which proved that the stu
dents were conservative bidders.
The prize for the best groomed an
imal, a silver loving cup presented
by the Pullman Chamber of Com
merce, was won by Miss Louise A.
McGavick of Tacoma, a student In
the dairy division, and the only
young lady in the competition, whose
entry was Princess Ena, beauti-
full Ayrshire COW. Second prize for
best groomed animal, cup present
ed by Professor Hislop, was won by
Fred L. Russell, with the Hereford
bull, Discretion. Another prize will
go to the student whose bidding was
most consistent, as soon as the tab
ulations are made by the committee.
Black Prince, the three-year-old
Percheron stallion, brought the rec
ord price of the sale, $3.50; with
Ewald, the German Coacher, close
second, at SPOTS. Discretion, the
old Hereford sire, brought the neat
sum of 1915; while Miss McGavick's
consignment, the pretty Ayrshire
Princess Ena, brought $500.
