H0LSTEIN BREEDERS
BIG ANNUAL PICNIC
W'' -" ""'f at juneau on Tuesday,
July 1s-C0w Judging Contest
at 10 200 A. vi.
PROMINENT SPEAKER PRESENT.

At a recent meeting of the directors
of the Inter-County Holstein associa-
ton, it was decided to hold the an
nual picnic of that organization at the
amusement park in Juneau, Wis, on
Tuesday, July 1S. This action has
received the hearty endorsement of
the business men of Juneau, which
together with the interesting program
arranged for that day, promises to
make the affair an event long to be
remembered in Holstein circles.
At ten o'clock a. m. COW judging
contest, or more properly COW plac-
ing contest will be in order in which
young men under twenty-one years
of age shall be allowed to participate.
The event shall consist of arranging
eight or ten COWS accordingly as they
in the judgment of each participant,
, approximate the ideal type of the Hol-
stein COW. Prizes shall be awarded
to the three most successful contest
ants, the prizes being five, three and
two dollars in cash All desirous of
entering this contest are urged to be
present on the grounds dt ten o'clock
sharp.
To carry out the picnic idea in full,
it was deemed best to have all attend
ing bring their own baskets of eat
ables and partake of the same in good
old fashion style at noon hour. Soft
drinks, candies, cigars, etc, shall be
at the disposal Of all desiring such.
; In the afternoon Mr.. w. S. Moscript,
known far and wide as the keenest
highly as a breeder of Holstein cattle
shall address the gathering on a sub
iect which should prove of special in
terest, TYPE and Production" Prof.
Moore of the Wisconsin Agricultural
college, who needs no introduction to
farmers Of this vicinity shall also
have an interesting message for the
occasion Other features not yet fully
developed shall be arranged for the
enjoyment and instruction of all pres
ent, and since the Juneau business
men shall respond to the effort to
successfully carry out the above pro
gram, we feel justified in assuring
the public that the affair will be of
sufficient moment educationally and
socially TO warrant driving from the
farthermost regions of the two coun-
ties to attend.
The directors Of the association
realize that the one outstanding ad-
vantage of this proposed picnic shall
be the convening of practically all
| the Rolstein men of the two counties
Farmers only Remotely interested in
the pure bred business, as well as
! business men of the Dodge and JEFF
ferson county towns are also cordially
| invited to attend. In such collec-
| ton ideas can be exchanged, new and
| important phases of the work re-
hearsed and learned, old acquaintance
ship renewed, and new and lasting
| friendship made Breeders can go
home with added stimulus for greater
accomplishment in the future. They
can go home after a gathering OF this
kind with an increased measure Of
| pride in their work, for surely no
| work can be called more worthy or
more dignifed, and it is only on occa-
sion such as Tuesday, July Is, affords
| that we realize this fact so V1Vldly-
All Holstein men and business men
so desiring, are therefore urged to
| attend this social festivity making it
thereby a red letter day in the Hol-
stein history Of Dodge and Jefferson
| counties.
