International Live Stock Exposition, 1904. — The International Live Stock Exposition 

 was held in Chicago November 26 to December 3, and in all essential features was 

 even more successful than earlier expositions. The exhibits of fat stock, breeding 

 cattle, sheep, swine, and horses were very fine. Owing to the danger to breeding 

 classes of swine from hog cholera, the exhibit this year was confined to fat barrows, 

 which could be marketed at the close of the show, an innovation which seems to 

 have been regarded with much favor by exhibitors. As is generally the case, the 

 agricultural colleges and experiment stations were well represented in the list of 

 judges, officials, exhibitors, and in other ways. 



Prof. C. F. Curtiss, of the Iowa Station, one of the directors and a member of the 

 executive committee of the association having the management of the show, was one 

 of the judges, as were also Profs. W. L. Carlyle, J. A. Craig, W. A. Henry, G. C. 

 Humphrey, and W. J. Rutherford, while Drs. G. H. Glover and A. T. Peters were 

 on the veterinary board. 



The numerous entries of the colleges and stations resulted in a large number of 

 prizes. In the college competitions special prizes were offered for stock from the 

 agricultural colleges and experiment stations, and there were entries from the Iowa 

 Agricultural College and Station, Minnesota Experiment Station, Purdue Univer- 

 University of Xebraska, and University of Wisconsin. The Minnesota Station won 

 first prize for 2-year-old steers, Purdue University second, the University of Nebraska 

 third, and the Iowa Agricultural College fourth. For yearlings, the Iowa Agricul- 

 tural College won first and third prizes, the University of Xebraska second, and 

 Purdue University fourth. For the calves, Iowa Agricultural College won first and 

 third, Purdue University second, and the University of Minnesota fourth prize. 

 Clear Lake Jute Xo. 2, of the University of Minnesota, was champion, while the 

 Iowa College was given first place for a herd of 3.
