LOVER OF LIVE STOCK

He Can Find the “Real Thing” at the Kankakee District Fair. The “butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker” can all find entertainment at the Kankakee District Fair, but the solid enjoyment i 3 to the lover of fine stock, because by attending the fair he sees the best breeds to be found anywhere and gets ideas for the improvement of his own herds that as the months and years go by reward him by the sound of dollars jingling in his pockets. Especially is this true of one who takes pride in raising fine cattle, for the cattle exhibit of herds and individuals at the Kankakee District Fair is excelled by no other department. Last year people who attended the Kankakee District Fair and later attended the Illinois State Fair at Springfield stated that while the State Fair had perhaps a few more exhibits in this department than the Kankakee District Fair, the advantage was merely in quantity and not in quality. Already the entries are pouring in at the office of Secretary Len Small, and with increased premiums it is likely that the cattle exhibit of 1908 will excel even that of 1907. ( The dates of the Kankakee District Fair are Sept. 7 to 11 inclusive. five days and four evenings of solid and unremitting entertainment.
