THE MINERAL POINT FAIR.

Elsewhere in The Democrat is pub
lished the list Of premiums offered by
the Southwestern Wisconsin Industrial
association for live stock at its TWEEN
t.eth annual fair to be held at Mineral
Point on Sept. 3, 4, ) and g, 1889.
These premiums are liberal and will
doubtless draw out fine exhibition of
stock; and in this way will create a
greater interest in stock breeding and
raising The advance made in this
line in southwestern Wisconsin during
the past twenty years is phenomenal,
and has resulted in a great benefit to
the section both pecuniarially and
therwise. Anyone who was present
at the early fairs Of the 5. W. Wis
|. A. can, by contrasting the shows OF
stock then made with those Of the last
few years and the still larger one
expected to be made this fall, realize
how great this advance has been in
fact. And there can be no doubt that
interesting and spirited competition at
agricultural fairs has largely aided in
this progressive movement among the
farmers Of the blue grass region Of
Wisconsin. 1t is necessary that i'm

4 Lesson in Binding Irvine.

The Grant county Democrat.
Two years ago binding Irvine sold at
from ten to twelve cents; last year
from twelve TO fourteen cents. This
year, farmers having voted that they
want no free Irvine. the price is from
sixteen to twenty cents per pound.
The pity is that those farmers who
voted for free Irvine have to stand tn
squeeze with the rest. Democratic
farmers have right to kick at the
trust. but republican farmers should
in very decency keep quiet, take their
medicine and try to look as if it tasted
good.
