FAIR’S DRAFT HORSES

Purple Bloods By Hundreds at the Indiana Exposition. ~ ~~ A Heavy weight,.or draft horses, the showy, purple-blooded kind of animals which always win enthusiastic admiration from visitors to the Indiana State Fair, will be in greater evidence than ever at the exposition to be held the weejt of September 12. As an importer ahd breeder of these horses, Indiana is in front rank, and while the show of draft horses hats for years been a notable one at the fair, it promises to go well over the old standards for both quality and quantity. Indiana importers have for months been searching the horse markets and country districts of Europe for highly bred Percheron and French drafts, Clydesdales, Shires and, Belgians, and before summer ends several hundreds of these animals will be shipped direct to Indiana and will make their first American appearance at the state fair. TTiey will be the prize winners of Europe's horse shows and fairs and they will contest for ribbons each day in the state fair coliseum, will be conspicuous in the ni£ht shows and in the live stock day parades along the drives of the fair grounds. In addition to the horses that are coming fresh from Europe, a large number of American bred draft animals will be at the fair. Showy teams of two four and six draft horses will be one of the admirable features of the live stock displays in the coliseum. The premiums on draft horses amount to $3,835, and a generous number of expensive silver cups, gold and silver medals and honor ribbons will be awarded. The Hackneys, German, American and other coach horses, beautiful animals which win as much admiration as the drafts, will be strongly in evidence at the fair. The whole family of blue-blooded horses is included in the state fair shows. Both day and night the arena will abound in spirited harness and saddle horses and all told 600 or more will be in the various show classes. Including the speed division, horses will dominate the state fair. For show horses the prizes amount to a total of $14,875 and in the raoes the purses reach $33,400, making $48,275 that is offered as prizes for horses.

FARM BUY CONTESTS

High Quality of Instruction Given at State Fair. As an incentive and help to the boys of Indiana farms to make greater efforts in the agricultural calling, a number of contests, in which the prizes are very attractive, have been arranged by the state fair management, to be held at the exposition the week of September 12. Chief among them will be a judging contest for boys who have never attended an agricultural school, and five scholarships, worth a total of |SOO, in the Purdue School of Agriculture will go to the winkers. The boys will pass on the merits of horses and cattle as the animals appear in the state fair coliseum, and they will also judge sheep, swine, corn and wheat. They will give their opinions on the same live stock and farm products that the regular judges of the fair pass on. This contest will be directed by Prof. G. I. Christie, of Purdue University, and farm boys who desire to participate should send their names to the secretary of the fair at Indianapolis by August 27. Purdue University is doing a very extensive and practical education work at the state fair every year. Experts from this institution have charge of the fair's dairy building and many lines of Purdue’s work is exploited for fair visitors. By means of fruits, feeds, fertilizers, photos and charts the'results of experiments are explained. A display of Indiana weed seeds and methods of eradication will be shown. In the dairy building, too, practical demonstrations of many' kinds are given and numerous free lectures on farm topics are heard.

Slidably mounted on this long piece is a jaw which fits under the opposite side of the plate and can be pushed up till a good firm grip can be obtained on the whole affair.
