the horse department., including half
a dozen stations of the Belgian and
Percheron breeds, and number of
work horses and colts.
Six pens of sheep and ten pens
of hogs and small pigs were placed
on exhibition-all high grade. This
was three times as large showing
as that at last years fair. :
There was certainly fine display
in the cattle department, with the
dairy breeds predominating. R. E.
Lynch's herd of 13 Ayrshires won
The first sWeepstake prize for dairy
COWS and P. W. Jensen's herd of IL
Frlesian-Holsteins second, while
Sam Droogsma's herd of Is Here
lords won first sweepstake in beef
cattle. The cattle in these herds
also took several individual
prizes. NJ. B. Madison took first
prize for his Guernsey bull, Everett
Hamilton for a Holstein bull. and
johnson Bros. for a Polled Angus
bull. In addition to the above many
others won prizes. r. M. Washburn,
associate professor of dairy hus-
bandry at the state agricultural
farm, gave cattle demonstration at
the fair and explained the points
necessary in good milk COWS of vari-
Gus breeds, giving the measurements,
etc. He spoke in high praise of
the Lynch herd, M. B. Mattson's
Guernsey bull, some of the Holsteins,
the Herefords, and other animals
exhibited. While here James J. Hill
Inspected the Lynch herd of Ayr
shires, the bull belonging to which
came from his herd. Sam Droogsma,
who owns the Hereford herd, lives
on the farm formerly owned by Chas.
Murray in Milo, and the nucleus of
his herd was purchased from Mr..
Murray. Alfred Johnson, a cattle
expert, was superintendent of this
department.. The premiums awarded
for cattle amounted to 1925. 90.
In poultry there was an ex-
cel]ent showing and the majority of
the birds were exhibited in coops of
adequate size, but a few of the in
closures were altogether too small.
William Marsh, an acknowledged
aHshority on fowls, superintendent
this department..
The lady exhibitors did themselves
proud in the bread, pastry, preserves
domestic manufacture and art de-
partments-they entered large as
sortment of exhibits in each.
There were some varieties of bak-
ing, including bread. rolls. cake.
cookies and other good things ex-
hibited that would knock the props
from under the stuff that ''mother
used to make,'' and the preserves
were certainly of exceptionally fine
quality. In domestic manufactures
there was an array of things of
quality that could scarcely be sur
passed, and the fine art department.
contained water colors, oils, draw
ings, etc., which were exceIlently
executed. Mrs. +. L. Small was
superintendent of the bread and
pastry department., Mrs. Stanley of
the canned fruits department., Mrs.
Mcmillan and Mrs. Chas. Keith
superintendent of the domestic
manufactures department and Mrs.
G. A. Galley superintendent the art
department.. All of these ladies are
entitled to more than a modicum of
praise for the manner in which they
handled their various departments.
Paul de Rose of Pease. an enter
prising young business man. had the
only display of farm machinery on
the grounds. The exhibit, which
was in operation during the fair.
consisted, among other things. of
feed cutters, feed grinder, silo cut
ter outfit with engine combined,
and various kinds of plows. The
display attracted large numbers of
farmers.
We must not forget the models of
battleships placed on exhibition
the handiwork of Henry Pappen-
hansen. These vessels constitute a
splendid piece of carving and the
ships are well proportioned and
rugged with the accuracy of man
of-war. Mr.. Pappenhausen is GER
tainly genius in the art of carving.
A very good electrical display was
shown in the village booth under
the direction of Supt. 0. B.. Randall.
1t included all sorts of electrical ap-
planes for domestic use--stove, fiat
irons, washing machines, etc. =
