SHEEP AND SWINE AT KANSAS
STATE FAIR

There are 480 pens for hogs and
sheep at the Kansas State Fair which
are six by seven feet, large enough
to exhibit an average of three ami
mails each, making a total of over
400 animals on display. Then there
are seven different breeds of swine
and ten breeds of sheep exhibited.
This makes display large enough for
several days examination and study.
Every farmer and farmer boy in the
State should see this show because
no other opportunity is afforded for
such education. The cheapest pound
of pork or of beef or of wool or NUT
ton is that pound which is bred up
on the animal. The scrub stock must
go from our high-priced land which is
going higher. Improved livestock
and more of it must be produced in
successful farming. Such a show of
livestock as is seen at the Kansas
State Fair which will be held at
Hutchinson, September 18th to 23rd
inclusive is an inspiration to any own
er or tenant of land and each and
every one should make the invest
ment of time necessary to see this
wonderful display and place them
selves under its seductive influence.
It will repay such visitors over and
over.

winner of Westminster Kennel Club
crown in another year or two? Those
who have seen the litter predict that very
thing w. r. Payne of KinEstown, Pa.
has decided to keep the full litter until
the next Westminster show and If all
goes well the public will have an oppor-
tunity TO see the champion and the COM
ing champions on the bench.
For the benefit OF numerous followers
of dog shows who have a very hazy idea
Of the duties, purposes and activities or
| the American Kennel Club. the following
information, submitted to me by the
A. X. c., will prove Of undoubted value.
''The American Kennel Club is com
posed of 120 member clubs. some of
which clubs are devoted to giving shows
| for all breeds. while others are speciality
clubs or those interested in only one
! breed. These clubs are represented in
the governing body by one delegate each.
There are in addition to these member
clubs, who constitute the regular men,
bers 2S1 associated subscribers who are
also represented by delegates; one for
each 100 of such subscribers, but have
no interest in the property or assets of
the club.
These delegates elect a board of d.
rectors consisting of thirty members. six
being elected each year. thus making as
is usual in such case continuous
body. This board governs the club the
same as a board Of directors conducts
the affairs OF any corporation, except
that the delegates meet quarterly instead
OF only annually. Many matters accord
ing to the bylaws must be decided upon
by the delegates only. notably altering
and amending the constitution and by
laws. electing members, delegates and
directors. Also making, altering or
amending the rules.
1.-THE associate subscriber in addi-
| tion to being represented in the Coun-
sci of Delegates receives the Ame,i-
cun Kennel Club Gazette and stud
Book issued monthly, and is entitled
to two registrations gratis each year.
The associate subscription is $500
per annum.
Not n Social Club.
"The American Kennel Club is not
social club but is incorporated un-
der a special act of the New York Legis-
lature. as set forth in Section III. of the
charter which reads as follows
"'The objects of the corporation shall
be to adopt and enforce uniform rules
regulating and governing dog shows
and field trials, to regulate the con-
duct OF persons interested in exhibit

interests of its members, to maintain
and publish an official stud book and
an official kennel gazette, and gener-
ally to do everything to advance the
study, breeding, exhibiting, running
and maintenance of the purity OF

poses it shall have power to adopt a
constitution. bylaws, rules and regu-

right to collect and enforce by suit or

This club affords to it's members as
well as to all dog fanciers in America,
whether connected directly, indirectly or
rot at all with the club, the following
berefits:
81. Their interests In dogs are pro-
tected in every way possible consistent
with the best interests of the greatest

ways the main object in view.

rectors or committees and proper action
is taken after full and complete reports
are made.
Protects All Fancicrs.
While this club welcomes members
and associate subscribers and feels that
all fanciers should support the club by
affliating with its member clubs, organ
izing clubs and joining the main body
or by becoming associate subscribers,
still it protects all fanciers like, even
those who are in no way connected with
this organization and affords them many
privileges at no extra cost over the
regularly affiliated fanciers, part of
which are as follows:
Il. The fancier public. without any cx-
pense for dues directly or indirectly to
the American Kennel Club, who exhiSit
at American Kennel Club shows, have
their wins guaranteed and recorded by
this club. Championships may be ac-
quired by them, and in every other way
they stand on the same footing as any
one regularly connected with this club.
t2. The privilege of registration I'm the
Stud Book is afforded to all at one price,
with the exception. of course. as previ-
ously stated i'm reference to privileges of
associated subscribers gratis registra-
tions.
20. This club protects every fancier in
the country against fraudulent OF unfair
treatment, and should any fancier COM
plain to this club such complaint. no
matter from whom received, is handled
in absolutely the same way: tried by
the proper board or committee actually
on it's merits and fair and impartial
judgment rendered.
