Besides these, many farmers exhibited
a few individual specimens of different
types and some fine grade animals
Some of the above gentlemen offered
stock for sale and it can be said to the
credit of our farmers that all but one
consigned to the auctioneer was sold
at private sale. The one auctioned off
was a ten months old Red Poll calf,
owned by Jacob Simmer, and brought
800. On Friday two prize steers, one
owned by Jas. Kennedy, of the town of
Easton and the other by his son were
auctioned off by F. E. Charter and
brought S4.65 and $40 per 100 lbs.
live weight respectively They were
both purchased by Geo Yung, the west
side butcher
HORSES.
In conducting the fair this year the
management has but one regret and
but one apology to offer. The horse
department was not up to expecta-
tions, but it was no fault of officers of
the society. A few weeks previous,
Walter Houser, of Mondovi, secretary
of state, asked for stable room for a
display of Percherons and Clydesdale
horses and space was reserved for him.
In the meantime other horsemen were
turned down because of lack of ROOM
On the opening day Secretary Wright
received word from Mr.. Houser that he
could not come because he could not
get a car. 1t was then too late to
secure another exhibit. Some fine
specimens were shown by G. S. Curtis,
the Knowlton Horse Co., the Wausau
Coach Horse Co. and the Nutterville
Horse Co. A large number of Belgian
ponies were exhibited by Merritt ..
Ring, of Neillsville, they being in
charge of E. ID. Wade. Some of them
were beauties and they proved a great
attraction for the children.
SHEEP.
Every stall in the sheep barn was
taken up with specimens of the finest
grades of sheep. M. L. Smith, of FL
dron, had 90 head of some of the finest
Shropshires ever shown at fair. A
more extended mention of bis flock will
be found elsewhere in these columns.
VIM. Dixon, of Brandon, had about
fifty head of Shropshires, Mcrinos, Cots
wolds, Oxfords and Sorthdowns. Nj. G..
Ring, of Neillsville, exhibited Hamp-
shiredown and F. Rietbrock, of Athens,
showed Shropshires.
The pig pens were well filled with
| specimens of the standard grades of
hogs, some shown weighing over 600
lbs. Those making exhibits in this de-
partment were NJ l.. Smith, Chester
Whites j. Simmer, Berkshires; HI. s..
| Wright, Berkshires; VIM. Schmidt,
Chester Whites; w. H. Hamlin, Wau-
toma, Jersey Duroes; Otto Baesman,
Berkshires, and Fred. He'll, grades.
