seen, and the showing would make a
nigger's mouth water. In the dis
play were to be seen some guina fowl,
guina pigs and other pet stock.
In the sheep sheds were to be seen
many fine animals, most of them
raised by local breeders. Among
tliosG' exhibiting were Geo. Philippi,
Welcome, Shropshire and Rambouil-
let sheep and Angora goats; B. F.
Wilson; city, Shropshires; A. E.
Heinke, Stratford, Shropshires; M. L.
Smith, Elderon, Shropshires and Ok
ford Downs; A. J. Plowman, Elderon,
Lincolnshires. Philippi is profess
sional exhibitor who goes around to
all the pumpkin shows each fall and
cleans up a bunch of pesos. But this
year his measure was taken by Mara
thon county breeders.
The principal exhibitors of pork
makers were G. D. Arnold of Gales
vile, Berkshires; A. j. Plowman,
Elderon, Chester Whites; ]. j. Bean,
Flieth, Chester Whites; f. w. Garske,
R. f. D. l, Duroc Jerseys; Garske &
Samways, r. f. D. 1, Poland Chinas;
O. Baesman, Rib Falls, Berkshires.
We saw one squealer that weighed
over 600 pounds. We didn't hang
around the hog sheds very long, to
make critical examination of each
beast. An old duffer in Battle Creek,
Mich, in advertising his breakfast
sawdust, says, "The taste fingers. "
Well, with pigs there is smell that
fingers. That's why we don't like to
get in too close friendship with. them.
The same is true of cattle, and we
never see a COW but what we think or
schoolmate we once had, whose
name was William. Williams father
ran COW juice foundry. William
had been brought up in close proxim-
| ity to the kline. He had learned to
coax the tactical fluid and sundry per-
meating odors from the lowing herd.
He delivered the first to his pas Gus
toners early in the morning and later
brought the second to school with
him. And now we get down to the
cattle sheds and find the following
exhibitors:
H. n. Thompson of Woodstock, Ill,
| Fl erefOrds: Connor Lumber Co., Au-
burndale, ShorthOrns; G. d. Arnold,
Galesville, Shorthorns; Marathon
county asylum, Guernseys and Hol-
stems; B. f. Wilson, city, Guernseys
Stewart Lumber Co., city, Aberdeen
Angus; A. J. PIowman, Elderon,

Wausau. Holsteins; Fred He'll, Flieth,
Holsteins; A. J. Petersen, Elderon,

leading breeds of milk and beef pro-
ducers were represented. There are
three localities which are building uI
herds of dairy cattle, Athens, Elder
on and Flieth. The beef herds are
owned by the poor lumbermen.
As previously stated in this paper
the ''pike" was well filled, and
ballyhoo man was much in evidence
There were eating stands galore and
the smell of the sizzling wiener and
Hamburger was strong. Most of them
had big stocks left when the fail
closed. The dining pavilion was not
Iopened on account of the weather
There was an absence of wheels oi
fortune, because of the new law, but
there were many other catch-penny
contrivances. Then there were ladies
who could look at the back ef you
neck and tell your past, present anC
i what's coming at so much throw
