NOT HURT BIG SHOW

and expressed themselves as being
highly gratified at the high standard
in livestock which has peen attained
here. But the cattle are not alone in
the Improvement" class, for the hogs,
sheep, poultry and horses appear to
be of grade never before seen here.
Talks on Cattle
Soon after the show was opened this
morning the judges began their work
of awarding ribbons for cattle exhi-
bits. An entertaining feature of this
part of the two-day program was the
work of the boys judging classes.
One class was made up of boys be-
tween the ages of Is and Is years;
another between the ages of 1S and
! 21 years. The judges delivered short
talks on cattle, explaining their milk
producing organs and the sections
which make them good food animals.
Following these talks the members OF
the two classes were given cards and
on them the boys told why certain
cattle in the ring were of more value
! than others. Prizes were awarded to
the three boys in each class giving
the best accounts.
In addition to the judging of cattle
to-day, the judges were at work on
sheep, hogs, poultry and eggs. But
ter and horses and horse drawn We
hicles will be judged tomorrow. For
the winner in each class a blue ribbon
will be given as first prize. The sec
ond prize is a red ribbon and the third
a yellow ribbon.
Farm Machinery
A new attraction at the big show
this year is the exhibit of automobiles
and farm machinery and this depart
ment is another evidence of the con-
tinuous growth of the Hogestown
show. Among the farm implements
are grain elevators, tractors, gane
plow, gasoline engines, feed grinders
sheaf elevators and cream separators
For nine years no implements of any
kind were shown but last year two oil
three companies brought their prod
ucts here and they were given places
This year the management decided tC
make a permanent department fol
these products and they were listed II
the catalogs.
Since the first year the show hal
grown remarkably. In the beginning
I.only stock from the farms arounc
Hogestown were entered for ribbons
but gradually the territory was ex
tended. This year contesttng entries
are here from a section of country
bounded on the south by Dillsburg
ILewisberry and Goldsboro, on thu
north by the top of the North Noun
tain and east of the borough limits o.
Carlisle to the river.
In addition to the $50 contestint
entries, which is a big increase oveI
last year, registered cattle and hog
are on exhibition.
