ed with Displays

At a meeting of the Redwood
County Fair Board early Tues
day afternoon it was decided to
continue the Fair through Sat-
urday, making the event of four
days duration instead Of three.
The Saturdays program will be
a full and complete one, all at
fractions and performances CIV
en- just the same as Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, and spec
ial races being put on for that
day. This extension of time is
made because of the unsettled
weather conditions which may
make it impossible for some to
attend the first days.
Preparations are completed at
the fair grounds and exhibits
were nearly all in place late
Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds
of entries had been made in the
farm products and household
departments and the stock barns
were rapidly filling up with cat
tie, horses and hogs.
Many Cattle Shown
The cattle exhibit promises to
be the largest and best ever
shown in the County. Already in
the barns were pure-bred herds
of Peter Mckay, Tom Mckay,
John Stevenson, the Helms
Brothers of Olivia and the Gold
Wise herd. This last herd alone
numbers eighteen head Of Hol-
stein, two Of the young cows
having recently been officially
tested and one of them a two
year-old producing thirteen and
one-half pounds of butten in a
week.
Y Mr.. Stevenson is showing his
State Fair winners, herd of
twelve head Of Polled Angus,
Helms Bros. are showing half
dozen Shorthorns, and Peter Nc
Kay has nine head of Short
horns; Tom Inglis will show
herd of grade cows with pure
bred sire and several other grade
exhibits will be made.
Car of Feeders Shown y
Long and Hanson, a South ST.
Paul Commission firm, will show
a carload Of young feeders who
after the Fair will go to the
Banker and Dennistoun farm to
be fattened. This is an exhibit
in which Redwood County stock
raisers are apt to be intensely
interested.
Fine Horses Seen
Frank Carman is showing his
string of fine pure-bred Per-
cherons, Fred Banker is also
showing pure-breds, I. N. Bopes
and A. D. Stewart also have ex-
hibits in the horse stable and G..
C. Wymore is the owner of
fine team of mules. The horses
will be judged by Prof. Phil. An
derson of the State Agricultural
Farm, and Prof. Donovan, also
from the State Farm, will judge
the cattle. Mr.. Donovan visits
county fairs throughout the
state each year and he says. that
nowhere else does he find SO we'll
managed a fair, with such good
buildings and such splendid stock
exhibits as in Redwood County.
Porkers Occupy Pens II
Hogs are having their day at
the County Fair this year after
"a two years absence. Last year
none were shown because of the
ravages of cholera, but this year
some fine ones will be seen. The
Keil Boys have eight of as SPLEEN
did Duroc Jerseys as can be seen
anywhere, John Ruder is show
ing several fine Chester Whites,
and P. Mckay has a pen of Du-
roc Jerseys that are credit to
any stock grower.
School Building Full
The new school building is
crowded to the rafters with ex-
cellent school exhibits and Supt.
"a. G. Pratt says she could easily
have filled a much larger build
ing. The exhibits are not only
interesting when viewed as
school work, but are most ar
tistic and pleasing both in COM
position and arrangement. Glenn
