In Concentrated Form.

The International Live Stock Exposition at Chacago will be a stupendous display of the products so the soil, augmented by the efforts of science. Primitive agriculture is not applicable to modern needs, much less to the requirements of warfare. The International —aims to get maximum results at minimum cost. The day of the scrub steer, the illbred hog and the nondescript sheep has passed, never to return. That kind of live stock never has been profitable and never will be Exhibitors at the International are in every instance men who have made live stock raising pay. A majority have amassed wealth in that sphere of industry. They are the men who feed the land, that it may feed them, and the soil never fails to respond when treated in that manner. The first week of December spent at the International will be a period of combined pleasure and business with inspiration for the year to come. Students at the International a decade ago are the successful live stock growers of today. They are reaping the reward of foresight, observation and judgement. Intelligent observation stimulates inquiry, which means experience. The other fellow’s experience is as valuable to you as your own, provided you can get access to it. And nowhere is this fund of experience on tap as at the International. It is the school in which successful live stock growers are trained. All that is valuable to the seeker after live stock knowledge will be available in the International arena at Chicago during the first week of December, in concentrated and concise form, that “he who runs may read.”
