 fat-stock classes and acliieving several grand championships, among 

 them the highly coveted cliampionship of the single steers. 



In the fat-barrow class the grand championshij^s both for single 

 barrows and pens of 3 were won by Berkshires from the Iowa college, 

 which also furnished the champion Poland China and large York- 

 shire single barrows, the champion Duroc Jersey pen of 3, and the 

 champion carload of from 150 to 200 pounds in weight, besides a 

 large number of class prizes. The champion pen of Chester Whites 

 and the champion Duroc Jersey single barrow were from the Wis- 

 consin University, which also won a long list of class prizes. The 

 Ohio University showed the chamjDion pen of large Yorkshires and 

 won several prizes in other classes, as did also Purdue University. 



The exhibit of fat wethers from the Wisconsin University was 

 especially noteworthy and won a large number of prizes, among them 

 the championships for pens of Shropshires and Cheviots, for single 

 wethers in Hampshires, and for the champion dressed carcass of the 

 show. Iowa received a second prize for a pen of Southdowns. 



For fat cattle the Nebraska University won, in the Shorthorn 

 classes, first on senior yearlings, and Ohio first on junior yearlings, 

 and other prizes went to Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, and Ohio. On 

 Aberdeen Angus herds, the Kansas college won first, with Minnesota 

 second, Nebraska third, and Iowa fifth. On two-year-olds the Kan-

 breed championship for single steers was again won by the Minnesota 

 University. On Hereford two-year-olds the Nebraska University 

 won third place and Purdue fourth.

 first on yearlings, and second on two-year-olds and calves, and the 

 latter receiving second on herd, first on calves, second on yearlings, 

 and fourth on two-year-olds. Purdue won third and Ohio fourth on
