Whitman County Fair.

The preparations for the coming
Whitman county fair are progress
ing nicely, writes Zelle M. Beebe,
secretary of the fair association.
The board of managers is working
hard to make this the best fair the
county has ever had, and the pros
poets for making it such are very
tlattering. If applications for space
in horticultural hall continue to
come in as they have in the past,
the management will be obliged to
build an annex to the hall in order
to accommodate all Of the exhibits.
Prof. Spillman of the state agricul-
tural college will be at the fair with
the dairy fixtures, and will make
butter on the grounds. Persons
who would like to test the butter
making qualities of their cows can
have them on the ground and fur
nlsh the milk to the professor, who
will give them accurate information
concerning the amount of butter fat
each COW produces. This in itself
will be quite an interesting feature,
and should induce all dairymen to
bring at least one COW.
There promises to be a fine ex-
hibit of chickens, and when one
takes into consideration that the
csicken product is greater than the
wheat product in the United States
they can form an idea of the i'm.
portance of raising good fowls.
There will also be a fine lot OF
horses entered, and in fact the ex.
hibits in all classes will be better
than heretofore, and there can be
no doubt OF the fair being a grand
success. Arrangements have been
made with the 0. r. & n. Co for a
special rate of one fare for the
round trip. The selling days viii
be September 9th to 3Oth, inclus
i've, good returning October 3rd.
