it's completion before the fair COM
mences, by which time it will be
ready Tor the numerous exhibits
which are promised this year in the
Horticulture and Horticulture Diyis-
ions. When the visitor approaches
the fair grounds this fall he will en-
ter under a handsome new entrance
which will be built of iron and stucco,
and will measure 100 feet wide. The
entrance will also be 700 feet south of
it's former location, the intervening
ground having been enclosed by new
woven-Wire fence.
Coats of paint have been added to
the grandstand and other buildings,
giving the grounds a refreshed APP
pearance. With the numerous i'm
prOvements in 1914 the Montana State
Fair Grounds will take the lead as
being the finest in the northwest. For
the accommodation of passenger and
freight traffic the Northern Pacific
Railway has built spur to the fair
ground gates, where the facilities for
unloading will be excellent.

Additional Premiums.

Premiums offered for competition
in every department of the Valley
County Fair this year exceed in value
by very large amount any prize Of
fered at the State Fair, with but one
or two exceptions.
Every farmer in the county will no
doubt feel an irresistible impulse to
win some of these premiums and will
make this fair grand and glorious
success. Obey that impulse.
A handsome fancy plate-glass door
will be awarded to the farmer show
ing the best collection of tame grasses.
This premium is offered by the I'M
perial Elevator Co. through Mr.. j.. p.
Sternhagen. Every man growing
blue-joint, timothy, red top or white
top, or alfalfa, should make an effort
to win in this department. A sheaf
five inches in diameter just below the
head will be large enough for exhibit
ton, and will make an attractive dis
play.
Twenty-Five dollars in gold in two
premiums is offered by the Milk River
Valley Bank for the best display of
garden products grown by one man.
1t is divided so that $15 goes to the
best and $40 to the second best exhibit
made. This is an excellent premium
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1914-07-02

and should be the incentive for a won
derful showing in garden products
from every part ofValley county. The
largest variety and best-selected pro-
ducts that can be displayed should be
an interesting exhibit as the season
has been most favorable this year to
develop both size and quality in gar
den products.
The Rumble Land and Abstract
Company will give $40 first prize and
SIS second prize for the best general
exhibit in sheafs, each sheaf to be
tightly bound and not less than five
inches in diameter. Every farmer in
Valley county should enter in this de-
partment for there never has been a
better opportunity than now exists
for gathering a most creditable ex-
hibit. The best sheaves will be taken
to the State Fair and entered there for
State premiums and it should be an
easy matter for Valley county to carry
off the bacon.
The Kerr Glass Manufacturing Com
pany of Chicago has offered premiums
of their ECONOMY Jars" in three
separate divisions. One dozen quart
jars complete with caps and clamps
are offered for the hest exhibit of
fruit packed in Economy jars, one
dozen for the best exhibit of vegeta-

State Fair Improvements.

Visitors at the 1914 Montana State
Fair, September 21-26, will notice
such a great number of improvements
at the State Fair grounds that they
will be led to believe that an almost
complete revision has been made at
the Treasure States great exposition,
for not only the necessary minor year
ly changes have been made. but new
buildings are being erected, new coats
of paint applied to the important
structures, the grounds are being en-
larged. a new entrance built, and
changes in transportation facilities
have been made.
or the greatest Importance is the
erection of the SO 900 Horticulture
Building, upon which work has COM

of tire-proof stucco, will set the stand

being of a substantial type and we'll

Local Creamery Helps the Farmer

The real awakening in improved ag-
riculture throughout the Northwest
is centered largely upon cooperative
effort, and carries with it a general
boosting spirit. One of the avenues
through which this movement is oper-
ating with profit is the local creamery
A cooperation, properly organized
tends to focus the interest of the farm
ing community and fosters the boost
ing spirit.
With share in a local creamery
every farmer becomes a producer, a
manufacturer, and a distributor. This
enables him to diversity his crops,
keep more COWS to utilize the unmar-
ketable roughage, and turn the waste
products of the farm into profit. 1t
gives an outlet for farm produce and
shortens the distance from the farm
to the consumer. This gives direct
contact with the consumer and puts a
finished product on the market, I'M
pCItAl W hlIAiIC-IiCl.
In addition, the farmer who keeps
COWS can utilize to advantage the by
products of the dairy-skim milk and
butter-miIk. These are valuable ad-
juncts in combination with grain for
feeding all kinds of young stock. In
fact, calves pigs and poultry never do
better than when given liberal
amounts of creamery by-products.
Perhaps he most important advan-
tage OF the creamery is the fact that
it brings cash into the home every
month OF the year, in flood time or
drouth, Just at the time when store
bills come .l0e and the family pocket
book ruu- dry. 1t produces the nee
essities of lite and brings comfort and
good cheeI INTO the home.

bles packed in Economy jars, and one
dozen for the best complete exhibit of
meats, soups, etc, packed in Economy
jars.
This is another opportunity for the
ladies of Valley county to show their
justly-famous ability in the culinary
department. There is plenty of ma
terial to work upon, and these premi-
ums should induce keen competition
among all the ladies, resulting in a
most attractive display.
Every farmer in Valley county is
urged by the Fair Board to exhibit in
every department. The Board wishes
Valley county to gain reputation
this year that will excel and be en-
We'd by every other county in Mon
tana. So many valuable premiums
are offered by those who are support
ing and making possible this Valley
County Fair for the very laudable
reason of showing the world that our
farms will produce a bigger and better
grade of crops than can be grown any
where.
A challenge has been made by the
Fair Board to the State Fair that Val
ley county will have the greatest num-
Der of prize-winning products shown
from any county at Helena this fall,
and they believe every farmer in the
county will stand back of this chal-
lenge and bring to the county fair
grains, grasses, live stock and vegeta-
bles to support the assertion.
"A premium list will be mailed out
within short time, and every farmer
should get one. If you don't, write
the secretary, who will gladly send
one to you.
