 has ijci'ii lookcil uitoii as a rciitiT fur {^imil SliDit lioni talllf. I lliiuk 

 we ixvt our sluiit' of tlu- good huyi'is from a (listaiicc for Sliortliorii lattl*'. 

 Jiutl I think tile principal rfastiii why we get thi-si- Imycrs is hccaiisc 

 wi> have had Ihc liesl at tlic shows. St. I.ouis offers aiioiiiiT oppori unity 

 To show the best we have, and it oidy remains for tlie Indiana hieeih'is 

 Jo take hohl of the matter i)roi»erly to make another fnrward step and 

 ndd to the reimtatiou we ahcady liave. 



l>r. (Juick: '1 hr coniiuissioiicr in llie (h'liart niciit of Ilic dairy Siiort- 

 liorn ehisses is quite active now in going over tlic idinitiy looking for 

 dairy Shorthorns. He has piohalily visited a nuinlier oi' your herds, lie 

 has visited ours and has made a selection of •three animals there, and if 

 they come on all right he thinks he will i»e Justified in sending them to the 

 .show. W'v, ourselves, liavc not tiiought iniicli of making any other sliow. 

 but he was so earnest in his I'ciiuest that these cows be sent that we 

 intend to comply with it. 1 believe we should all do what we cnn for 

 this show. I believe we should give some? special attention to the dairy 

 show. "We take no little pride in the fact that tiic Sli(»itliorn Durham 

 is a good breed for the dairy. 1 know one gentleman who has received 

 large returns as a result of his successful showing at the World's Fair 

 and the winning of two or three prizes with good representative dairy 

 Shorthorns. None of us can lose anything liy h('l]iing tliis sliow and 

 making an exhil>it. We may .go there and not get a prize, but we will 

 come out ahead in the long run simply from the fact tliat we have made 

 an exhibit. 



Mr. Tom Christian: 1 think we sliould all lix up tnw best cattle and 

 shoAV them there. We can not lose liy this even if we do not win any 

 prizes. If we do not go out and show peoide what we have tlicy will 

 never find it out. 



Mr. Hadley: I don't like to hear people say. "If you don't win any- 

 thing." I say tliat Indiana is cajiable of taking the very cream, and 

 all that is necessary to d() it is to iiil fortli a little extra effort to liring 

 back from St. Louis the very cream of the pieniinnis for Shorthorn herds. 

 We have herds in this State that will do that if tlu-y are taken there. 

 I like to see a spirit of "We are going out rlieie to get a ])iece of it." 



President Bowen: I presume the gentlemen are a little modest when 

 they make these statements. 



.Mr. (Jiiick, Sr.: I am a Hoosier; I was l)Oiii in Indiana and I am 

 proud of it. I feel as though Imliana is pretty near tlie center of the 

 universe. I have traveled a good deal over the 1 nited Slates, have been 

 in most of the States of the rnion. and 1 always think when I get 

 back to Indiana that no other place excels it. I don't think any other 

 State has better Shorthoin cattle than Indiana has. I am one of the
