SHOW WINNINGS OF DEMONSTRATION CATTLE 
In addition to the evidence of quality as shown by market returns, 
frequent show winnings of Sni-a-Bar Farms cattle are convincing 
proof that the animals are of the desired beef type recognized by 
judges of livestock. Although the development of show stock has 
been incidental to the main purpose of the demonstration, the list 
of winnings has increased steadily. Following is a partial list of

VISIT TO A DEMONSTRATION 
Having in mind the purpose of the breeding work and results 
already described, the reader will obtain a clearer conception of the 
enterprise by a trip—actual or descriptive—to a typical demonstra- 
tion. Approaching the farm by motor car over a concrete road, we 
observe, half a mile away, a scene not unlike a county fair. In a 40- 
acre field is a large tent where cooks are preparing the noonday 
luncheon for the guests at the demonstration. Parking our car along 
with more than 2,000 others, we proceed to the cattle pens. Here 
are 13 good-sized inclosures in which we see the results of the dem- 
onstration almost at a glance. The specimen cattle on exhibition are
