uduudl uIdlu1uS department. at.
tracted more than passing notice.
Neat and substantial tables, chairs,
cabinets, etc., were displayed. Nine
associated districts contributed the
agricultural products and the show
ing was good. The various other
specimens of work done by students
in the Milaca schools were also
praiseworthy. Profs. Gray and Wat
son of the manual training and do
nestle science departments of the
Milaca schools were in charge of the
exhibits, and are entitled to credit
for the showing made.
The fruit entries were numerous
and included apples, plums, cherries,
grapes and almost every other vari-
ETY. of fruit which can be raised in
Minnesota. Oslund's nursery of
Cambridge had a handsome display
in this department., featuring ever
bearing strawberries. The apples
and plums were especially fine. In
fact the entire exhibit was an at
tractive array. The floral depart
ment was another pleasing feature of
! the fair. The display of Towering
plants was exceptionally large, and
included some rare and pretty vari-
eties. This exhibit was attractively
arranged upon large octagonal stand
in the center of the horticultural
hall. The stand was filled to it's
utmost capacity and presented a
neat appearance. Mrs. H. G. Cooney
and Mrs. G. I. Staples were, respec-
lively. the superintendents of this
department. and the arrangement of
the exhibits was indeed pleasing to
the eye.
The honey department was not of
least interest and the exhibits were
arranged most attractively. Colon
les of bees under glass were dis
played and the showing was credit
able. There were several entries in
fine quality butter, including ex-
hibits from the Princeton Cooper
ative and Glendorado creameries, jar
and print butter from farmers
wives, and the exhibit was neatly
displayed.
The art hall presented an ap-
pearance Of activity at all times.
Here were hundreds of pieces
of fancy work and needle craft. The
showing this year was little short of
marvellous, as there we're 100 entries
in this department. The building
was literally filed with extremely
creditable specimens of needle work.
Mrs. J. M. Johnson, Mrs. J. W.
Mossman, Mrs. Chas. Keith and Mrs.
S. P. Skahen were in charge and
everything was arranged most prop
er]y. In the same building were dis
played various paintings and draw
ings, and the exhibits were indeed
meritaDle. The paintings included
landscape scenes, flowers, animals,
and marine, also decorated china
ware. Mrs. c. A. Galley superin-
tended the department. and had
everything arranged attractively.
In the bread and pastry depart
ment the lady exhibitors had a dis
play that was indeed creditable.
Never before was there exhibited
such an appetizing assortment of de-
lectable ''goodies. Bread, rolls,
cake, cookies and other good things
were very much in evidence, and we
doubt if anyone viewed the exhibits
of this department without feeling a
certain amount of pride in the
ability of the ladies of this vicinity
in this respect. Mrs. F. L. Small
was superintendent of this depart
ment and the arrangements were all
that could be expected. Mrs. Small
worked increasingly from Wednesday
morning until Saturday night.
The canned goods depa1 tment was
also made up of an attractive dis
play. The entries were numerous
and the assortent was pleasing to the
eye. Jeliies. sauces, berries, plums,
cherries, peas, pears, grapes, corn,
apple butter, plum butter, etc., we're
entered for prizes. Mrs. Ira G.
Stanley was in charge of the DEPART
ment and the arrangement of the
articles was such as to show them off
to good advantage.
In the livestock department were
some fine animals. The horse d.
vision was in charge of Chas. King
and many horses were entered.
There were Percheron stations,
brood mares, draft teams and numer-
Gus colts, besides some Shetland
ponies were among the entries.
There were numerous entries in the
division of sheep and swine-all high
grade stock. 1t was a good showing
in every sense of word. -
However it was in the division of
cattle that the finest showing was
