DAIRY EXHIBIT
Continued from Preceding Page.l

CONTINUED from Preceding Page.1
Ell Dorado has entered two cows of a
breed which is gaining popularity, but
which is not yet well known in this
country The names of the breed is
Brown Swiss. They are the kind OF
animals one sees in moving pictures
of Switzerland scenes In color they
are much like the Jerseys, but they
are much larger and harder and those
who fancy this breed contend they are
freer of tuberculosis than any other
breed. They also claim they live long
er than other cows and thai although
they are primarily a dairy breed, they
are also superior as beef producers.
Mr.. Dahlen says that last year he
sold for beef one of these cows that
was 81 years old, and that although
she was still giving milk when sold,
her condition was such that she nearly
topped" the market, being within SO
cents per hundredweight of the high
est price paid that day for beef cows.
He says, however, that this COW should
not be blamed for all the beef one en-
counters which seems to be old enough
to vote. There are official records OF
cows of this breed having given 20.-
600 pounds of milk in year, and l.,
600 pounds or half ton of butter
from the milk

JEWELL co. LEADS
Shows Greater Variety of Agri-
cultural Products.
Thirty-Three Varieties o
Grasses, All Home Grown.

Jewell county apparently is in the
lead of those counties making agricul-
tural exhibits. Although there are
many counties competing and all have
excellent displays, Jewell tops the list
in having one hundred and eighty
seven specimens all grown in Jewell
county and most of them on Swihart
Brothers farm, near Lovewell. Jewell
county also sent demonstration along
in A. D. Folker, county agricultural
agent, who is a capable booster.
Every known variety of sorghum is
shown OF special interest in the
sorghum display is bundle of PEN
ciIaria, a new sorghum which is four
teen feet high. It's stalks are woody
and it has few leaves, but it is espe-
ciaMy valuable for its drouth resisting
OF special value in showing what
can be done in keeping fruits and
vegetables is a display of canned
goods, edibles which have been canned
under steam pressure, a new method
of preserving.
Thitry-three varieties of grasses, all
grown in jewell county, are shown,
as well as all varieties of corn. Sudan
grass, new forage, is shown ten feet
high, and that was only the first of
two crops.
In the corn display a curiosity is
shown in what is called 'cobless'
corn As a matter of fact, it is not a
new variety, but probably the oldest
variety of corn in existence, being the
kind which has been found in the
Grand Canyon and among the cliff
dwellings of prehistoric Indians. In
stead of the grains being on a cob,
each grain is inclosed in a separate
husk. r..-.t hevs..-.

MANSIONS IN ASHES
One of Largest Manitou, Colo, Hotels
DESTROYED by Fire.

OAC O1 A1ESeo1 VIC. ~oAo''
Destroyed by Fire.
The Mansions hotel, large resort
hosiery at Manitou, Colo, was com
pletely destroyed by fire early Monday
morning. The loss IS estimated at
$4,000, partly covered by insurance.
The hotel is a historic landmark of
Manitou and thousands of Topeka and
Kansas people are familiar with it. It
was built by New York millionaire,
DR.. William A Bell, in 1878.
The Mansions is only a half block
from the site of another famous Mani
tou hotel, the Manitou house, for years
the most exclusive hotel in the west,
which was destroyed by fire several
years ago. The Mansions closed two
weeks ago, the Dutch room alone be-
ing open this month. The origin of
the fire is unknown-oIt is believed
that a newer and even larger hotel
will be constructed in its place, as the
location is excellent.
