International Live Stock Exposition.

All the world seems to be preparing to attend the International Live Stock Show which will open in the magnifcent new buildings at the Union Stock Yards in Chicago on November 30th and extend through the first week of December, closing on Saturday night, December 7th. The entry lists describe the most complete and representative specimens of all the standard breeds and classes that have ever been brought together in a public exhibition in the world. All the various stages of cultivation of high-class animals is to be shown and everything pertaining to the live stock industry and its auxiliary interests will be demonstrated in the most practical and up-to date way. One of the most important improvements over last year’s methods ap plies to the carcass exhibit, through a resolution adopted at a recent meeting of the executive board of the international Live Stock Exposition. In giving carcass demonstrations heretofore it has been the custon to simply divide the carcass and then demonstrate by description the further dissection of the meat. It is now contemplated to devote one-half of the carcass exhibit to a complete dissection and demonstration dividing this portion of the carcass in commercial cuts thus giving everybody a complete object lesson.

A hoarding house and hotel committee has been appointed by General Manager W. E. Skinner of the Exposition to arrange a complete list of these places in Chicago, their rates, locality and accessibility, and all such infer mation will be supplied on request. A< a great number of inquiries have been received at headquarters in regard to railroad rates, also rates in regard to transportation matters, General Manager Skinner again sent o it word along the line to all prospective visitors advising them to make direct inquiry of t heir station ag'Mit and obtain the most accurate information. As the International Live Stock Exposition is formed for the purpose of educating the live stock growers, breeders and those interested in this branch of industry, the promoters have not contemplated any plan for an admission fee to the exposition for fiese people. All the farmers, stockraisers a d men engaged in the live stock business will not be expected to pay for anything in the way of admission, same being furnished free by the commission firms and live stock interests doing business at the Chicago stock yards, to their customers and friend s.
