Fred said he was worth more than that
for sausage, in which thought the auc-
tioneer acquiesced, and the sale of cat
tie was allowed to go no further. The
sale had the good effect of drawing
farmers to it and getting them inter
ested, even though few of them did
buy. Geo. Wylie, of Morrisonville,
representing the counties of Columbia
and Sauk in the state senate, was pres
ent at the sale and was greatly taken

especially the cattle barns and Judging

The swine sold were consigned to the
sale by Jacob Simmer, Wausau; G. l..
Underwood & Son, Avoca, and A. A.
Arnold, Galesvile. There being no
demand for the Shropshire sheep con-
signed to the sale they were not plaUed
on sale. A total of thirty-five head of
cattle were sold, at an average price of
$13S42 Twenty-one Red Polls ave-
ragged $3.50 81 and fourteen Shorthorns
S1l107. Nineteen of the cattle were
purchased by Marathon county people.
OF the cattle consigned by Marathon
county people, ten were purchased by
outsiders while our home people
bought seven outside cattle. The result
of the sale was loss of sixteen head
of cattle for the county. 1t will be
noticed that number of farmers, liv-
ing in section where scrub stock is
being raised, purchased animals that
will be the foundation of herds, Oh
grade cattle at least, and which will
materially improve the herds in their
localities. In helping along the sale,
A. A. Arnold told the doubtful buyers
few truths While the price might
seem large to them, the animals would
pay for themselves in a short time.
If crossed with grade or scrub cattle
the difference in the price they could
receive for such calves and the price
they are now getting for scrub calves
is material. 1t takes time to educate
the people in this respect, but it viii
be done.
NOTES.
One hundred tickets were sold at
Merrill, Thursday for Wausau. Besides
there were a number who drove down.
St. Elizabeth's Aid society furnished
excellent meals on the grounds and was
literally patronized, profiting consider

The Racine Agriculturist and the Mil
waukee Farmers Sentinel had report
ers on the ground and good write-ups
are expected from those papers
j. n Cotter, of Merrill, was present
all during the fair. Jack came to the
first fair held here thirty-six years ago.
and has never failed to attend them
every year since.
Besides the regular police there were
a number of special patrolmen detailed
to keep order, but their services were
little needed for there was no drunken
ness on rowdyism.
The writer was PLEASED at conver-

the ladies connected with the manage.
ment of the art department. They
stated that they had asked nothing IN
the line of improvements for number
of yeats back, allowing the society tc
build its stock barns. etc. but that mex
