BIG ATTENDANCE SATURDAY

At Htock Show, Which Was Pro. nounced Extra Good. One of the largest crowds ever assembled in Rensselaer attended the Third Annual Jasper County Livestock Show, which closed Saturday night. With ideal weather conditions, plenty of music and a splendid line of exhibits, the great crowd enjoyed itself thoroughly and many expressions of satisfaction were heard from all sides. The' exhibits were drawn from every section of Jasper county and several herds were shown from Newton and Pulaski counties. The exhibition was essentially a, hog and cattle show, with the hog exhibits predominating, the two large tents being filled to overflowing with porcine exhibits. The judge, John W. Schwab, was emphatic in declaring that it was the best show of hogs held in. the state this year, with the exception of the state fair. In the Hampshire classes, many state fair and international winners found strong competition among the hogs of the younger breeders and the judge had many difficult decisions to make. Sinee the last show the development of the Spotted Poland China breed in this locality has been especially marked and one of the features of the show was the large number of high class representatives of this type of hogs. That the Duroc Jersey breeders are on the job wai evidenced by the high quality of the exhibits of this breed. The Chester White hogs drew forth considerable favorable comment on account of the uniformity and excellence of the individuate. The Big Type Poland Chinas were represented by three herds, the foundation animals in every case being from the Sage herd. The Hereford exhibit far surpassed any previous showing of the breed, both in the quality and in the number of herds represented, practically every breeder having one or more animals at the show. The exhibit was greatly strengthened by a herd of international standing. The Shorthorns were represented by the usual enthusiasts who maintained the reputation of the breed in a creditable manner. The first exhibit of Angus was made. The following ds a list of awards: Angus- , Aged cows, first, Charles Stal-
