In the cattle division 84 exhibitors showed 960 head of cattle; 63 8 

 head of beef cattle and 322 head of the dairy type. The show was well 

 balanced, every breed being represented by from three to twenty-six 

 herds, except the Ayrshires of which there was one representative herd 

 of twenty head shown by Adam Seitz of Waukesha, Wiscoinsin. The 

 showing of dairy cattle was stronger by 50 head than last year, whila 

 the beef breeds fell off about 140 head. The quality was up to the 

 usual high standard and Iowa exhibitors were well represented in all 

 classes. 



The following tabulation gives the number of exhibitors and the 

 number of cattle exhibited by breeds compared with 1911: 



The conditions incident to swine raising this year were unusually 

 discouraging and were the result of a decreased number being shown 

 at this year's show. Hog cholera was common in many portions of 

 the state and a number of herds were not shown after the entries had 

 been made. One hundred and seventy-three exhibitors showed 2,384 

 swine, a decrease of 33 exhibitors and 403 head of swine from last
