FAIR IN FULL SWING.
Twenty-SecondA Annual Fair Promises
to Outclass Any Exposition of
Like Nature Held Here.
James j. Hill Will Deliver an Address
to the Multitude Tomorrow
Afternoon at O'clock.

A cursory observation of the ex-
hlbits which have been placed in
position at the fair grounds and the
activity prevailing in the various
departments give evidence that the
twenty exposition of the Mile
Laos County Agricultural society
will surpass in excellence that of any
previous year. The busiest scene is,
seemingly, at the agricultural hall,
where the superintendent has all he
can do to list the products Of the
soil which are being brought in, and
the large room will, no doubt, be we'll
filled with choice exhibits. Mile
Laos made no exhibit, as a county,
at the state fair, but it is now dem
Onstrating that it can surpass any
section in the northwest in the pro-
duction Of vegetables, grain, etc.
The farmers are alive to their best
interests-they believe in patroniz-
ing their home (their OWN fair. and
thus show their appreciation of the
efforts of the Mile Laos County
Agricultural society.
There is splendid display of fruit
on exhibition. including fine vari-
cites of apples.
The cattle barn is full to overflow
ing and section of the horse barn
may have to be utilized for cattle.
r. E. Lynch of Zimmerman has a
fine herd of sleek looking Ayreshires,
consisting Of one bull, eight cows,
two heifers and two calves. AS usual
?. ". Jensen of Bogus Brook is here
with his herd of Holsteins: there
are sixteen of them and they are tine
looking animals. Sam Droogsma of
Milo has herd of fifteen Herefords,
and for beef cattle they cannot be
excelled. George Hatch of Green
bush has a herd of six grade Hol-
stems, and there are many single
exhibits. There never was a larger
or better display of cattle at the fair
than this year.
The horse barn is filling UP slowly
but many fine animals have been en-
tered for competition.
The pig and sheep pens, fifteen Of
them, are all filed, and there is an
especially fine exhibit Of hogs.
In the bread and pastry depart
ment is displayed an excellent selec-
tion--there is q larger variety than
ever before placed on exhibition at a
Mile Laos County fair. The display
Of canned fruits is especially fine
Mrs. F. L. Small and Mrs. Grace
NJ. Stanley are leaving nothing I'M
done to have everything in apple-pie
order in this department-by the
way there are some mighty tempting
apple pies. pastry, cakes and canned
stuff to be seen in this building.
In the butter, cheese and honey
department. presided over by Miss
Mary Jensen, the display far excels
that Of last year. The big refrig-
orator is taxed to it's utmost capa-
city to hold the numerous exhibits of
butter in prints, rolls and Jars.
Some very tempting cheese is also
stored in the big ice box.
In the department of domestic
manufacture the fancy workplaces,
embroideries, etc.-is profuse and
cannot fail to prove an attraction to
those artistically inclined. The
superintendent of this department
are Mrs. E. L. Mcmillan and Mrs. J.
NJ. Johnson, who are doing every
thing in their power to make it
pleasant for the visitors.
In the poultry department. will be
found some of the best bred birds in
the country. The superintendent
will cheerfully tell you all he knows
about the different breeds, and he is
an expert in this line. There are
at least dozen different species of
chickens: turkeys, geese and ducks
galore. The spacious building is
crowded with coops and boxes, all
containing pedigreed birds.
The first township exhibit on the
grounds was that of Kathio, the
extreme northwestern town of the
county, which was brought down
Tuesday afternoon by Mr.. A. P.
Jorgensen, the wide-awake Vineland
merchant. Kathio's exhibit reflects
credit on the lake country; it con-
sists of grains, grasses, root crops,
vegetables, fruits, etc. There are
excellent specimens of Russell, Rose,
Burbank, Triumph and Potoskc
potatoes. What pity that the
other lake towns have no exhibits.
The Union congratulates Mr.. Jorgen-
