MISSOURI CHESTER WHITES. 



The Missouri Chester Whites and the Missouri C). I. C.'s made a 

 fine showing for the State at the St. Louis World's Eair. The Louisiana 

 Purchase Exposition management placed all Chesters in open competition 

 that were "recorded in any of the four reputable Chester records, namely, 

 the O. L C, the National, the Standard and the American. Four patrons 

 of the O. I. C. record exhibited 70 head of stock, and one patron of the 

 National record exhibited 14 head. The O. I. C. record offered $710 in 

 special prizes, of which the Missouri breeders won about $500. This 

 speaks for itself in saying that Missouri is long on O. 1. C.'s. The National 

 record offered $900 in special premiums, but these were confined to 

 duplicating first prizes won in the open ring, and none of these were 

 awarded because their patrons failed to secure any first prizes, although 

 Missouri Nationals considerably outranked those from other states. 



For lack of space we omit mention of the special premiums awarded, 

 but on another page may be found the prizes awarded by the World's 

 Fair, and also the prizes awarded by the State of Missouri. 



Of the Missouri exhibitors Judge L. L. Frost, Mirable ; Dr. O. L. 

 Kerr, ndependence; Nunnelly Bros., Readsville, and C. M. Kerr, In- 

 dependence, are patrons of the O. L C. record, while Mr. W. W. Walt- 

 mire, Raymore, is a patron of the National Chester White record. The 

 special prizes offered were of great assistance in getting out a good ex- 

 hibit. 



From the three sets of prizes offered Judge Frost secured 71 ribbons 

 and $3,107.00 in cash, being a greater number of ribbons and more money 

 than was awarded any other Chester breeder in the world ; while Dr. 

 Kerr was a close second. We present herewith cuts of a pair of Chester 

 Whites of special merit : Jackson Chief No. 4759, was farrowed May
