HERD OF HEREFORDS
]. N. Neal of Lamberton Will have
from II to II Crack HerefOrdS
at the County Fair.
Fair Management Making Arrangements
for the Biggest Stock Exhibit
In History of County.

J. N. Neal, the owner of the Fair
view herd Of Herefords, located
few miles north of Lamberton,
writes President Aune under date
of Aug. 18th that he will have from
II to II head of his crack Hereford
herd at the Redwood county fair
and that he will not only compete
for all the money under the Here
ford list, but also for the first prize
of the Redwood county sweepstakes
"a purse made available by the
action of the county commissioners.
Mr.. Neal is the owner of one of
the few Hereford herds in this Sec
ton of the state, and every one of
his animals is bred to the highest
standard. At the head of the herd
is the famous bull Kiosh 122061, an
animal of whom Hereford breeders
all over the United States speak in
the highest terms.
No one can gaze upon the sleek
coated, white-faced and white
breasted, lop-horned animals, with
out admiring them, and Mr.. Meals
exhibit, probably the first ever
shown at Redwood county fair,
will undoubtedly be the object of
great deal of admiration, as we'll as
blue and red ribbons, during the
three days of the fair.
Mr.. Neal writes that he will also
have eight thoroughbred Poland
China hogs at the fair, and these he
will put in the live stock auction
sale. None of his Herefords will
put up for sale under the hammer.
He expects to be in Redwood Falls
this week to make final arrange
ments for pasturage and pen room,
it being his object to get here few
days before the fair in order to give
his animals plenty of time to re-
cuperate.
At meeting of the directors held
early last week it was decided to
print a list of all stock offered for
the auction sale free of charge to
the owners, on condition that the
complete lists be in the hands of
Secretary Peterson by Sept. 10th.
A floral parade will be feature
on the first or second day. A num-
Der of concerns have already signi-
fled their intention of participating,
and Secretary Gales feels confident
that he will be able to make a big
success of it. In the course of
couple of weeks he will probably
have an interesting announcement
to make in connection with the same.
The St. Louis railroad has made a
rate of a fare and a third from all
points from Marietta east to Wa
coma. Tickets can be purchased
Sept. 18th and the return limit will
be Sept. 10Th. The company is also
interesting itself in the advertising.
The Northwestern will probably
make similar concessions and a spec
ial train may be put on to run from
Lamberton, Sanborn, Wanda, Wa
basso and Evan on the second day.
President Aune has selected Ed
win Tyson OF this city and Thos. G.
Paterson of the state experimental
station at St. Anthony Park as the
judges Of the live stock exhibits.
These two young men judged the
exhibits at the international live
stock show in Chicago last year and
the fact that Mr.. Aune has secured
them for Redwood county means a
whole lot to the stock owners. In
addition to the mere awards the
young men will answer any question
put to them regarding the animal
or animals being judged and they
will explain why this or that animal
or this or that herd was awarded a
blue ribbon or first prize over an
other animal or herd. The feature
will be a big one for all interested
in the fair. There will be other
unique features to be announced in
! these columns later.
