On the other hand when the market is It la at present are on their toes with enthusiasm and make use of every opportunity to show their stock. That being true a record-breaking show of livestock may be expected at the coining Iowa State Fair, August 20-20. The auction sale rings have been telling a wonderful story of prosperity and widening interest In the production of purebred stock. Nothing like it has ever been known before in this country.
