Waterloo. Sept. 23.--It is the opinion
OF cattlemen at the Dairy Cattle Con-
gress that the assemblage of cattle at
the show this year exceeds all previous
exhibits in point of number and quail
3ty. There will be approximately 500
head OF cattle on display after toda!
as there were a few exhibits whic.
tailed to arrive the first day.
What promised 70 be the greatest
showing OF Jerseys ever held in the
west and possibly the United States
was spoiled when Il was learned that
che famous Longview herd, Lees sum
Mo-, would not make the show. HAD
this herd appeared it would have made
the representation of several OF the
best known herds in the country COM
plete and would have attracted nation
wide attention. As Il Is. the Jersey
showing far exceeds previous exhibit
lions and Is undoubtedly the largest
ever held west OF the Mississippi river
FairWinners Here.
In addition TO the Jersey exhibits
there are wonderful herds OF Holstein,
Ayrshires, Guernseys, and Brown
Swiss owned by breeders who have ex-
hibited their herds on the state fair
circuits and have been returned win
ners. There are COWS and bulls OF
nearly every breed Of national repute.
in many cases these herds are meet
ing in competition for the first time
and the results of the judging will
cause national comment among breed
ers.
All Judging Of classes was postponed
today, both in horses and cattle De-
cause of the failure OF several prom
inent entries to appear. Five carloads
of Belgian horses, three from Indiana
exhibitors. were delayed and will not
be able 70 arrive on the grounds IN
til late today. The Judging for Mon
day will be done Tuesday.

Interesting Exhibit.
The Fred L. Kimball company mas
me of the most interesting exhibits on
the grounds. It is the famous grace
COW. Mrs. OGrady. which was ooush.
BY II. G. Van Pelt, at the national
dairy show at Columbus, o. last year
According to all tests. this co"
was the poorest in the state Of ONO
and was being exhibited at the show
as such. Mr.. vaa Pelt, one Of the
judges, picked the COW as winner
and was given the laugh by many OF
the national experts. He bought the
cow for a small sum and brought II
to waterloo. BY systematic feeding
the production Of the cow was improV-
ed until It now has a record for the
mast 200 days of 369.31 pounds Of but
