Let Your Boys Attend the International Live Stock Exposition.

With big crops, fat bank accounts and with prosperity reigning supreme in every country home, it is the duty of every farmer to look around for opportunities whereby his children can gain impressions that will prove beneficial to them through life and if by taking advantage of these, he can, at the same time, secure for himself and his good wife much needed rest and recreation, it would seem that such an opportunity should appeal tc him. r This -opportunity is offered in connection with the International Live Stock Exposition which will be held in Chicago from November 27th to December 10th. The champions of the leading shows of the world, in fact, the finest specimens of cattle, horses, sheep and swine that the world produces will here compete for supremacy and final honors. Do you know what this means? Can you realize what a liberal education such a collection produced by the v.orld’s foremost feeders and breeders means to your boys?
