The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1904-09-15

there is very little live stock ever
shown at the fair, because of the lack
of buildings and proper accommoda-
tions. A few old stalls is no place in
which to exhibit cattle or horses, but
despite poor accommodations there
are always a few exhibitors every
year.
In the cattle department there were
few good animals. Charles Murray
showed two yearling heifers and two
three-year-old Hereford cows, pasture
pick from his fine herd at his stock
farm near Pease. The animals he
exhibited we're fine representatives of
their type. and possessed ali the
points Of excellence of their breed.
The yearlings were May (l5l242) and
Sophia (l65661). The yearlings
weighed 1850 pounds each. The cows
were Cherry (125S65) and Cornelia
(l25S66(, the latter weighing 1,4OO
pounds. Mr.. Murray has seventeen
registered and twenty grade animals
in his herd. He is member of the
American Hereford Breeders asso-
citation in which his stock is regis
tered.
VIM. Slater showed his grade Short
horn bull. by ''Goldbug. Jr." and
two heifers. Mr.. Slater's stock is all
from the John Cooper strain of Short
horns, and the live stock world knows
the Cooper stock ranks with the best
OF its kind. The strain of this type
of cattle are to be found among many
farmers in this section and none have
any better grade of stock than Mr..
Slater, who has thirty head on his
farm in Greenbush. -.. 49,.
Clint Slater had some Shorthorns
COWS, heifers and young stock in the
display. His cattle are also from the
celebrated Cooper stock and they show
the excellent points of breeding. Mr..
Slater had James Kenely's three-year-
old Shorthorn bull, splendid Scotch
topped animal bred by JohnCooper.
Jacob Rudisell who has farm near
Foreston showed his yearling Short
horn bull, "Chief,' which was the
prize winner in his class. Mr.. Rudi-
sells yearling was a low-down,
blocky animal, and certainly showed
that he registered very close to the
pattern of his Cruikshank sires. Mr..
Rudisell has thirteen head of regis
tered Shorthorns, and his bull King, y
three-year-old, weighing l, 700
pounds, is at the head of the herd. He
has sixty head Of cattle on his farm.
and also has a few very fine HANDLE
tonian horses. He showed a pair of
Hambletonian drivers and colts.
There was no class for his horses,
but he was given second prize.
Charles Campbell and Sidney Foote
showed some grade Jersey stock which
possessed considerable merit.
OF horses, hogs and sheep the ex-
hibits were very light. A few entries
in the horse department., two pens of
sheep and seven of swine completed
the exhibits.
There were about thirty coops Of
fowls of all kinds entered. The poul-
try exhibit as rule is very good, and
the fowls sent to the fair show marked
characteristics in breeding. The dis
play this year was quite creditable.
LADIES' HANDIWORK.
There are many things seen at a
country fair that are "circussy," that
is the same yesterday, to-day and for
ever, but in articles of domestic manu-
facture, such is not the case, in all
things, though true enough in many
things. However, the display of en-
broidered and fancy work this year
was rich and possessed EXCEPTIONAL
merit. It was remarked that in point
of real merit the display was as good
as that made at the State fair, and
was as fine, if not the finest, ever seen
at the Princeton fair.
