ever seen.
The showing of the Oranges is a
magnificent ole. There is big ex-

raised in the state-thcre is a big
showing of cattle, sheep, swine and
poultry.
In every way it's big and a sat

success.
The price for admission is Sc
cents, all rumors TO the contrary not,
withstanding. And don't forget the

light as day there.
The new features of the show in
Floral Hall are the big exhibit of the
! Oranges. In the livestock exhibit
there is q fine showing of cattle and
the largest ever of sheep and swine.

THE EXHIBIT OF CATTLE
/ There is splendid exhibition of all
the well-known breeds of cattle.
Herefords seemed to lead in number
of entries and a number of farmers
exhibited this popular beef brand
A. J. Higgins has been raising
Herefords since 1902 and has a herd
of 12 entries. This herd is headed by
the year old bull Shelburne Red,
18th.

and two yearlings.

Danville George c. Cary shows
herd of 10 Herefords. This included
two year old bull, two three year
old cows, two heifer calves, two
year old cow and a heifer calf. Mr..
Cary shows in this exhibit a two
year old cow that cost him $50,
which is probably the highest priced
cow on the grounds.
C. B. Stevens has a splendid ex-
hibit of Ayrshires from Pleasant
View farm at North Danville. The
exhibit of premiums won at the big
Charter Oak fair at Hartford and
the state fair at White River June
