comea home from the big na
tional stock shows with a
reputation of having Just &
good stock aa any itate In the
union, and aome years with
. the ribbons flying, which shown that It
) kat the best
Nothing has done so much to put til-
braika on the map as raising the best
t cattle, hogs and horses the country pro-
duces as has the Nebraska state fair.
People coming from the far east w.th a
small Idea of what Nebraska can pro
duce are dumfounded when on vlait.nx
the state fair they see the wonderful
stock always found on exhibition there.
Vhls year the fair will again be a rev
elation to those who are not fully
acquainted with the great resources it
Nebraska, one of the most Important 3t
which la Its stock raising. It opens one's
eyes to see the hogs, cattle, horses and
-other fine animals unloaded from the
ears and driven to their places on tne
grounds, and it can't hardly be conceived
that all come from within the state, for
one is almost led to believe that what he
sees is the pick of the whole country
from Canada on the north to the Oulf of
Mexico on the south and from the Golden
Gate on the west to the wave-kissed
shores of Old Cape , Cod on tne New
England coast.
This year, as heretofore, the buildings
at, the satte fair grounds will be full of
overflowing. The cattle barn holds 660
animals and will be filled.' To one who
loves cattle, Just imagine nearly 700 of
the most beautiful and finely bred cattlo
under one roof that ever were together
and you will 'have some idea of what
the exhibit In the cattle line will be.
The horse stable la built to hold 250
horses and each year the best In the
country has been found under Its roof.
Some of the best known importers of
thoroughbred horses bring their prise,
winning animals to the Nebraska State
fair and Judges who have to award the
premiums and who fill similar positions
in; the biggest fairs of the country, find
the Job of awarding the ribbons a hard
Job in Nebraska because of the large
number of thoroughbred horses, seem
ingly to all appearances In every way
one as good as the other.
A visit to the hog sheds, where there
Is 'room for over 2,000 hogs, discloses the
fact each year that among the little bogs,
medium-sized hogs and big hogs, there
is small choice. The best Poland-China
hogs are found there. The best Jersey
Bed hogs are in their pens waiting for
the Judges to pass on their beauty. The
big Chester Whites, weighing almost half
a ton. are admired by the big crowds, and
the other breeds, several in number, all
go to make the big army which, feeding
" n Nebraska's mammoth corn crop, are
taken to market and bring the top price
In the markets of the world. When one
looks at the big corn In agrlcultuat hall,
and then at the big hogs In the swino
sheds, he no longer marvels that Ne
braska hogs win the top prises t the na
tional stock shows.
Nebraska does not Claim to be a great
Kheep state, yet It has no reason to be
ashamed of the sheep found at the Ne
braska State fair. The sheep sheds find
room for 800 of these animals and like
their og, horse and cattle associates are
as good breeds and as fine lookers as
can be found anywhere.
This article on the stock at the Ne
braska State fair would be incomplete
were attenUon not called to the poultry.
The shrill crowing of the bantam and
the hoarser voice of the big Shanghai can
be heard long before the visitor reaches
their abode on the main avenue. It Is
mm - nearly s,uuo biros art
yearly visitors at the fair, aad they come
from all Parts of the stats. It is proper
that these birds should make their pres
ence known by their constant crowing,
tor Nebraska has the largest Incubator
factory In the world and with other
emaller affairs furnishes over half of the
manufactured chicken hatchers sold In
the United Btates. That surely is wort
crowing about and none should blame the
"Pick of Nebraska," S.000 strong. If they
make a great deal of noire at the Ne
braska State fair.
Another very pleasing feature of the
fair and one which draws the children,
Is the Shetland ponies entered for prises.
Nebraska has several Shetland pony
farms and from these places several en
tries are annually made. The Shetland
pony department always is a rendezvous
for the "kids" and even the "grown ups"
eem to enjoy spending considerable Urns
watching the dwarf "horses.
Lovers of fine animals find especial de
light la the live stock parade for it Is
there that the "finest In all the land"
can be seen In one long line as they
pass In front of the grandstand. Decked
In the many colored ribbons, emblematic
of honors won in the contests, even the
animals themselves seem to understand
that they are passing In review and en
deavor to show themselves at their best
The big horses prance along as If proud
f the honors they have won, while th
little Shetland arch their necks in an
'effort to appear Just as proud as their
big brothers and sisters.
