Live Stock Show
Very Successful

successful, ones we have lad, even
though the number of animals On ex-
hibition was somewhat lower than IN
some years. This has probably been
one of the most backward seasons in
many years and it was very crafty
ing to have as fine a showing as we
did. There were $50 head Of cattle
or exhibition. Most of the animals
were in excellent show condition and
were a credit to those exhibiting
them. There has been great change
in the past few years in the quality
of animals that are shown here. 1t
takes an excellent individual to win
at the show. The judges this year
were exceptionally good. Axel Han
sen who has been judging Holsteins
for the past few years gave splencid
satisfaction. The judging OF Frank
Astroth who awarded places in the
Guernceys and Jerseys was very Well
received by the exhibitors. }. l..

with the Shortho,Ts. Prof. ii. l..
Fuller judged the horses.
