TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, FEBRUARY 20, 19C8^__________ _— WORLD’S GREAT SHOW.' HOW A WAR WAS PREVENTED. This Year’s Magnificent International Broke All Recorde. "Tbe International this year, tbe eighth, proved tbe world's greatest live stock show, both In number and quality of entries. In Interest shown in the ex hibits and in attendance. Separately l there may have been greater and more ! complete horse shows and possibly as grand a showing of cattle in a strictly I cattle show, but as an all around ex- : hiblt of pure bred farm animals there was never before anything approach ing It” To the foregoing opinion of Orange Judd Farmer there are not likely to be many exceptions taken. Some details of tbe great event here follow: When the gates opened It is conserva tively estimated that there was »7.000.- 000 worth of pure bred animals. This value was made up from nearly 1.300 cattle. representing every standard breed; nearly 700 horses, nearly 1.200 sheep, tbe largest and most high class showing ever brought together in this country and perhaps never eqnaled anywhere, covering all recognized breeds aud made up of Individual ani mals that have been prize winners re peatedly in other contests. Of swine, limited as they were this year to fat animals only, there were nearly 400 entries. in point of interest and of attendance old records were eclipsed. Over 70.000 people a day passed through the turn stiles. and It Is conservatively estlmat ed that 300.000 people from outside of Chicago visited the city during tbe week for the purpose of looking over the magnificent showing gathered from all states and from many coun- tries of tbe world. The educational feature of the international was again prominent, as it should be. the agri cultural colleges being represented by larger classes than ever before. Nine representative institutions of this char acter competed In th» class judging coutests. — Matrimonial Exchange. ■ « » ■ —......................................... ... WITH THE FLOCK. Breeding Value of Show Ram In ' W m I and Meat Making. By W. J. WILMER At this season of the year, "show" animals greatly in view, question as to their hie. ding value naturally recurs. A sheep man of much experience says: A ram born and bred In the stable, artificially fed from Its birth and forced to a precocious de velopment cannot transmit to its de ! of robustness scendants tbe — qualities . necessary to a range system of sheep breeding. The English breeds do not j to measures j owe their good g---- - reputation , taken against nature, nor bare their I typical qualities been produced in this j way. and the practice lu breeding es tablishments whose only object is a great development Is too artificial. It is true we ought not to neglect the breeding animals destined for exposi tion. and we ought to feed them with the best fodder, keep tlieir fleece in tbe best condition aud put Into practice ev ery legitimate art to present them in tbe most perfect way before the pub lic. But It seems only reasonable nev ertheless to allow them at least to breathe the pure air of tbe field and not the heavy atmosphere of a half closed and half dark stable, to oblige them to walk and to graze and, lastly, to always keep in mind in preparing them that the breeder produces wool and meat In God's pastures. COLLAR AND_BACK STRAP. ' SHEEP DOG TRIALS. l>- • In my part of Scotland there were no sheep dog trials in connection with the agricultural shows, but at some of the sheep clippings, or when tbe sheep were sheared, on some of the big bill grazings on sheep farms there used to be. aud I think »re yet. great trials among the shepherds and their dogs. The shepherds would make wagers with one another who had the best dog. Four to six two or three year old black faced wethers which had never known Uta of Intelligence In Harnessing the Draft Horse.
