first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as a first-class agri-

Yorkshires.
With regard to the live stock shown
1t must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance, but on the wonderful oats
and barley grown in western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses,
of which most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to the north.
Canada has conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but can also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed, and this
in open competition with the world.
