BIG PRIZES FOR LIVE STOCK. 



Chief Buchanan of the World's Columbian Exposition Live 

 Stock Department, has sent out about 3,000 copies of the live 

 stock premium list to the various fair and breeders' associ- 

 ations of the country, and is receiving responses which show 

 that the live stock exhibit at the Exposition will be something 

 tremendous. Besides the large premiums offered by the 

 Exposition for a live stock exhibit, all the various breeders' 

 associations are offering large prizes, notably for shorthorns, 

 Herefords and Jerseys. As an evidence of the widespread 

 interest taken in the live stock show, A. E. Mansell, of Shrop- 

 shire, England, offers a prize of Ç500 for the best American 

 bred Shropshire ram. The State of Illinois offers $40,000 in 

 premiums for live stock ; the Clydesdale horse breeders offer 

 $5,000 extra prizes ; the cattle associations offer extra prizes 

 as follows : Galloway, $3,000 ; shorthorn, $6,000 ; Hereford, 

 $5,000; Jersey, $10,000, and Holstein, $10,000. The swine, 

 sheep and dog breeders also offer extra money prizes. The 

 money prizes to be paid for live stock will amount to 

 $250,000 or more, which, of course, includes the sum of 

 $150,000 voted by the Exposition company for premiums in 

 that department. The Exposition Buildings for the accom- 

 modation of live stock will cover thirty acres.
