Stock Sales at the Fair.
One of the features at trie Oregon
state fair this year will be the big
suction sale of pure bred Shorthorns
and Herefords. Most all the promi
nent breeders who have anything to
spare will consign a few head of their
choice cattle to this sale which will
aggregate a very select lot of cattle to
be distributed among the small breeder
throughout the country. There is no
better place to start man into the
breeding business than at the state fair
where formers can compare the kind
best suited to his choice. The large
breeders, too, will in time profit by
these sales, by inducing farmers to
change from the scrub to the pare bred,
which will give them a better market
for their young balls, bat the greatest
benefit will he to those who lay the
foundation for a pare bred herd. Aural
