ably the greatest Chester White Boar ever produced counting constitu- 

 tional vigor and show ring qualities to be the standard of excellence. 

 The accompaning cut of this grand boar was made from a photograph 

 taken by Risk just as he was awarded the Grand Championship prize. 

 Judge Frost bought this hog back in January, 1904. His record in the 

 show ring while owned in Minnesota is as follows : As a pig in 1901 

 he won first and sweepstakes over ail breeds at the Jackson County, 

 Minnesota Fair. In 1902 and 1903 he won the same premiums at the 

 same fair, while in 1904 he was again in Missouri and shown at the 

 World's Fair, where he won seven first prizes amounting to $758. He 

 is a never beaten Grand Champion Chester White of the world, and the 

 same in the O. I. C. ring.

 by Judge Frost. She was shown as a senior pig at the American Royai 

 in 1903 where she won first and championship prizes. Late in the spring 

 of 1944 she farrowed a litter of nineteen pigs, one of which (Royal 

 Dick No. 11,113) won 6th in the open ring, ist O. I. C. and first Mis-

FEEDING HOLSTEIN DAIRY COWS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

After the Holstein-Friesian Association had declined to participate 

 ii- the dairy demonstration at the World's Fair, three Missouri breeders, 

 Mr. M. E. Moore of Cameron, Mr. R, W. McGuire of St. Louis and Dr. 

 Geo. C. Aiosher of Kansas City formed a company so that their favorite 

 breed would be represented. They selected a feeder of National reputa- 

 tion to take charge of their cows, but this man proved to be unsatis- 

 factory and was discharged on July 14th. The cows had made an aver- 

 age record of sixty-one pounds of milk per head daily during the first 

 ten days of the test, but had fallen to forty-two and eight-tenth pounds 

 on July 15th, when the writer took charge of them. At that time three 

 of the fifteen cows were "off feed" and of the remaining twelve over 

 half did not eat their feed with a relish. At the end of the test, ninety 

 days later they were giving fifty-one pounds per head daily. 



System of Feeding. — Having made no provision for silage, the feeder 

 was forced to rely very largely upon soiling crops which, owing to the 

 unfavorable season, were not always of the best quality. Throughout 

 July green corn was used which had not yet come out in tassel, hence
