1900 POUND MULE
AT STOCK EXHIBIT
County Adviser McWiIIiams De.
cribes Rare Specimens At
Columbia, Mo.
By c. NJ. McWilliamS.

Farmers Week at Columbia, Wa:
we'll attended and the program was VI
to the usual standard. Among the
many good things offered was d live
stock demonstration showing the best
types of horses, mules, sheep, swine
dairy and beef cattle. The champion
mule at the American Royal Live
Stock Show and the Missouri State
Fair was shown. She weighed 1906
pounds, Was II hands high and was
very smoothly and compactly built
She did not look to be as tall Us she
really is. The reason being because
of her blocky conformation. Hel
ownrr stated that she was out of q
draft mare and a good jack.
Among the draft horses probably
the most interesting animals were the
aged Pcrchcron stallion Honorable
and an aged pure bred mare that was
worked steadily on the college farm
and also produced six fcals that have
brought $1,000. While this record is
no: exceptional, it illustrates very
clearly what 1 good mare can do and
at the same time be a profitable work
cr.
High class herds of Holstein, Jer-
sey, Ayrshire, and dairy Shorthorns
were shown. Practically all of these
animals were bred and developed on
the college farm. The Is year old Jer-
sey COW, Grace Briggs" was an in
tercsting exhibit. She has a record
Of OYER 700 pounds of butter in a SIN
gle year and has been = producer for
10 years. In this connection it IS in
tercsting to note that one of this fam
Gus cows bul calves now heads Cape
County herd Of pure bred Jersey.
4 striking demonstration Of the val,
uc Of 4 pure bred sire was given with
:keep. First, bunch Of very ortln-
airy western ewes were shown and
then flock that they produced when
mated tc a pure bred Hampshire ram.
The sheep in the second flock were
much larger, and better ficshed than
their mothers. The climax was reach
ed, however, when u third flock, the
produce Of The half breeds, was shown.
They were also sired by Il pure bred
ram and as FAR as appearances went
were practically pure bred. No more
striking illustration of the value of q
good sire could Rave been used. Farm
ers and breeders in the audience were
very favorabiy impressed and did not
hesitate to say so.
The entire program was good but
lack Of space prohibits taking it up in
detail. Mr. H. J. Weiss of this county
Won second premium on wheat and Mr.
Charles Schwccr took two corn pre-
miums.
