Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 November 1910 — THE CHICAGO LIVE STOCK SHOW. [ARTICLE]

THE CHICAGO LIVE STOCK SHOW.

These combined exhibitions, which take place at the Union Stock yards, Chicago, on the dates of November 22nd to December 3rd, inclusive, bring together * the greatest aggregation of live -stock that can s be produced in any country m the world. The horse show this year occupies the dates of November 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th and the Live Stock exposition, commencing on the same day that the horse show is brought to an end and extending to December 3rd. gives exhibitors at both, as well as the general public an opportunity of witnessing these two extraordinary exhibitions without extra expense or loss of June. A Chicago, as the greatest live stock market in the world, during the dates of these shows, is the most interesting place on this continent to visit while the International Live Stock Expos: tion is in progress for not only does it bring together by’ tar the greatest number of cattle, sheep, swine and horses that could possibly be accumulated anywhere else, but it reveals the finest specimens of every breed represented. as well a> all the champions of the respective domesticated animals. By attending this exhi-

hili' n the breeder, feeder, stockman and farmer, as well as others who are interested in the live stock industry can .obtain more inf< rmation an I practical knowledge of live stock during the thirteen days <4 its continuance than is possible for them to obtain in any ot’.cr way. The most renowned judges of the Id country, and the most expert in this, com? together for the purpose of displaying the combined talents of .both, and pronouncing judgment upon the varii us classes, that is supreme and beyond appeal. The ordinary breeder has his ideas in regard to live stock, but when he stands near and sees the various classes pronounced upon by the best judges and greatest experts the wo r ld can produce, and is able to ascertain upon the spot why such judgments 'cave been re-

turned. he will be the first to acknowledge wherein he has failed on so many occasions, and how easy it is for him to make amends, and turn failure into success of the most pronounced form, redeem the ground he has lost, and make amends in the future that will not only make hi- name as a breeder famous hut lengthen his bank account to a degree 'that hitherto seemed impossible. A pound of practice is worth a ton of theory, and in no industry can -this be tuthed into more gratifying results than it can in the live stock world. The breeder living at some distance from Chicago may say, I do not see how I can afford the expense, much as I should like to make the trip and greatly as I feel its need. Let this good fellow cut down expenses in some other direction and attend the show at all hazards, for it will pay him. and pay him doubly and trebly, fpr he will go back not only full of enthusiasm, but with a practical knowledge in his hekd wherewith he can right the Wongs of former methods and start on the straight road to success.
