SHEEP AND GOATS DEPARTMENT. 



Complying with your request for a brief account of 

 the interesting features of the Sheep and Goats Depart- 

 ment and summary of the show at the Kentucky State 

 Pair this year, I am pleased to state that in spite of re- 

 ported fresh outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Il- 

 linois, and the unsettled conditions resulting therefrom, 

 the show in this Department may be considered a dis- 

 tinct success. 



Possibly a larger number may have been on exhibi- 

 tion in former years, but I doubt if at any time since this 

 fair was inaugurated, has there been an exhibit of higher 

 quality. Many of the flocks were being fitted for the 

 Panama Exposition, and if no accident befall them, will 

 be heard from at that great show. 



One of the most pleasing features of the exhibi- 

 tion was the strong showing made by Kentucky exhibi- 

 tors, Mr. Turney 0. Collins, of Leesburg, Kentucky, 

 showing a flock of cheyiots good enough to divide honors 

 with so good a flock as that shown by Mr. E. D. Grieve, 

 of Xenia, Ohio (a flock that looked invincible to many of 

 the spectators) ; Mr. E. M. Shrout, of Georgetown, Ken- 

 tucky, a flock of Southdowns of correct type and superb 

 quality, that held its own with the well-fitted flock of 

 Axe & Millett, of Indiana; and the Walnut Hall Hamp- 

 shires were well represented in numbers, the quality 

 fully up to, or possibly surpassing, that of former years, 

 winning in every class.
