CHESTER WHITES 



The same conditious which confronted agricultural Amer- 

 ica at the advent of its colleges, stand out in bold relief before 

 the producers of beef, mutton and pork animals today, as well 

 as the raising of the various breeds of horses which are so 

 much in demand throughout the world. 



This condition of the live stock industry of America focusses 

 itself upon those who have been endeavoring to advance the 

 interests of the stock man through modern methods of breed- 

 ing and feeding, as demonstrated in the live stock departments 

 of the great fairs and stock shows throughout the country. 



The agricultural colleges have augmented their splendid 

 work in advanced farming by making breeding upon the most 

 practical and scientific methods one of the great aims and ob- 

 jects of their usefulness. Experimental breeding farms have 

 sprung into existence, and under the careful nursing and fos- 

 tering care of i)rofessors who have spent their lives in arriv- 

 ing at a point of present day perfection, which render these 

 institutions second to none, have shown most clearly, and 

 proven beyond doubt the benefits that advanced methods in 

 live stock breeding mean to this country as a nursery, and the 

 wide world as a market.
