Captures Many Prizes at Lead ing American Fairs. Remarkable Showing Made at Interna, tional Live Stock Show at, Chi cago Carried Off Sweepstakes For All Wheat. Something that lends emphasis to, nnd affords definite proof of, tho gen erosity of the soil nnd climate of western Canada, Is shown by the numerous exhibits made by both the government nnd Individual farmers and stock raisers of that country, at many of the leading state and county fairs In the United States this season, particulars Is this the case with re gard to exhibits made at the Inter national Live Stock Show recently held at Chicago. First and foremost to the average farmer will appeal the fact that Canada carried off the Sweepstakes for all wheat, and that out of a total of twenty-five prizes, Canada took twenty. In oats the Grand Clrfwnplon ehlp was won by a farmer living In tho Province of Alberta. Canada also was awarded the championship for Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out of n total of ten prizes, Canada took first, second, third, sixth and seventh. Not only in grains did Cannda prove her right to rank as a first class agri cultural country, but she carried off many prize's for cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, a partial list of which fol lows : Cattle, Canada was awarded the championship for Grade Shorthorns, also In the College Special class, Can nda gained first, fourth nnd sixth prizes. Horses, Grand Championship for Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham pionship for Amerlcnn bred mare, as well ns first for fhree-year-old Clydes dale stallion, first for one-year-old Clydesdnle stallion, and second for the aged class. In the Belgian class, Canada ob tained first and reserve for Champion ship Belgians, ns well as second for Aged stallion. Sheep, Cannda obtained Champion Bhlp for block, mala and female, In addition to first prize In nil group prizes. Hogs, In tho Yorkshire clnss Canada was very prominent, taking tho Cham pionship for pen of Yorkshires, nnd championship for best single barrow. ns well as over twenty first, second nnd third prizes In other classes of Yorkshires. With regard to the live stock shown It must he homo in mind that these have not been fed on 'corn, on which the average western farmer plnces his reliance, but on the wonderful oats nnd barley grown In western Cannda, supplemented by tho native grasses, of which n most artistic display was made by our neighbors to the north. Canada has conclusively proved thai not only can she tuko prizes for the grain she rales, but can nlso take prizes with the anlmnls to which these grains have been fed, and this In open competition with the world.
