Show L1VBSTOGK I i LIVESTOCK AT THE STATE FAIR. Prof. John T. Caine's III Report Written for the Dcscrct Fbrmcr. With every stall on the grounds filled to overflowing and the stock men cLamoring for room, the livestock exhibit was the greatest in the history of the state. Hundreds of horses, cattle, sheep andl hogs made up an exhibit ex-hibit that was a credit to Utah. Some of the rings were very strong, so strong in fact that Dean Curtiss of Iowa, onfe of the most prominent livestock live-stock men in the world, said that he had never seen a finer bunch of perch-erons perch-erons than was ibrought out in the aged stallion class. Perchcrons, Clydesdale, Shire and Belgians were represented as also were German Coach, French Coach, Standard bred and Thoroughbred. The driving and riding classes whi&h should be society events were judged in the morning when there were no onlookers, and so the classes were not well filled. These events which attract thousands at eastern fairs should be arranged so that the crowd will get a chance to sec the fine turnouts. turn-outs. The horses of J. R. Allen and Bros., The Logan Horse Co., W. S. Hansen, Oakland Farm and the Agricultural College attracted attention. Dean C. F. Curtiss Judged both light and heavy horses. Perchcrons. Stallions, 4 years and over. This brought out the greatest ring in history his-tory of show. After some study Dean Curtiss gave the big, toppy, grey Coco first and left Allen to take 2nd and 3rd with the low set blocky pair, Kremlin and Motusan. There was much discussion among horsemen on this class because of the drafty look, good feet and legs of the Allen entries. en-tries.

Allen showed the great Castcl that used to win for Dunhams and who was in good form here; weighing over a ton. This black beauty is surely a great individual. There were other good big black marcs exhibited, but none with the massive body, straight legs and action ac-tion of the winner. 1st, Castcl, Allen Bros.; 2nd, Nordica, Allen Bros.

A few good Shires were shown, but not as many as should be shown at such a fair. The aged class brought out Black Duke owned by Nielson & Meek, who was given first. Wasatch received second. Nielson & Meek and Anderson Ander-son & Patrick showed some good marcs. French Coach. Oaklawn Farm showed a beautiful bay in the stallion class; a horse with lots of quality, fine sfyle and action.

There were more 'breeds of cattle represented this year, as the Agricultural Agricul-tural Colbegc brought dkxwn Gucrn-' scys, Holstcins and Hcrcfords, and Uncle John Scelcy made a. fine show with Shorthorns as did W. C. Winder with Jerseys. Olscn and Clayton Land Co. showed somic good Hcrc fords, not, however, in show shape. Mitchell had some good Jerseys and Uncle Jake, Smith was on hand with the Ayrshircs. More attention sliouM) be payed to getting in more exhibitors and more attention should be paid by the owners own-ers to the condition of. the stock. Poor, lean, long legged cattle arc no credit to anyone. J Shorthorns. Mr. Seclcy's well balanced herd took all the prizes offered for this breed. This herd is brought out in good form every year and would be a credit at any fair. Mr. Sccley has represented rep-resented in his herd the best blbod I known in Shorthorns; Choice Goods, Whithall, Marshall, Cicely and other great ones . have sons or daughters owned by Scelcy. Herefords. The H)erefords were not in top shape for show, but were a credit and the interest shown by the breeders is a step in the right direction. More should be out each year. Aged bulls.
