The exhibits of live stock at the

popular breeds found in the United

not believe they have been eXcelled
anywhere in the country. These ami
mails were owned, to a large extent,
not by practical farmers or breeders,
but by men of wealth who begin about
one year ahead of the shows to make
selections. They employ Scotch or Eng
fish boys who were raised with the
animals and these boys put the stock

the show will be confined to stock
owned in South Dakota. 1t will be a
real breeders show. We expect to find
the exhibits presented in the pink OF
