BIG FAIR PROMISED

With large number of inquiries
regarding space reservations already
received by the Secretary of the Mon
tana State Fair, which will be held
at Helena, September $3.50, the cat
lie show at the fair this year prom
ises to be the best both in point of
entries and quality of exhibits that
has yet been seen in the state.
Last year created a new record up
to that time, there being $50 animals
shown. This year, however, in spite
of the fact that the fair is still two
and a half months distant, so many
inquiries have been made that the
management is preparing to add two
90 foot barns of 40 stalls each in
order to accommodate the expected
entries.
Last year the fear of foot and
mouth disease kept away many en-
tries, but now that the country is en-
irely free of the disease it is ex-
pected that many additional breeders
will show. The purchase by Mon
tana breeders in the past year OF
many valuable herds is also counted
On to create a keener rivalry for the
coveted prizes and blue ribbons thar
has ever been the case before.

New Dairy Proposed

Ordway will have a dairy with
forty to fifty cows If the plans of A.
l.. Butcher formerly of Olney Springs
are brought about. Mr.. Butcher pur-
chased the Riverside Dairy In Pue-
bio about year ago and he proposes
to move his cows and dairy equip
ment to Ordway and establish a dairy
business, which, he hopes, will make
1t so the old family COWS which are
kept in town may be dispensed with
and the womenfolk relieved of the
task of milking.
Mr.. Butcher was here Friday and
Saturday of last week to make fur
ther investigation in the matter and
might have perfected his plans had he
not been called to Illinois on account
OF he death of his mother.
Should l put my dairy in hece 1
Will conduct it in mama as will
attract business for me-" said Mr..
Butcher. "My cows will all be tested
and everything will be handled in per-
feet harmony with the rigid pure food
laws of the state. Consumers will
know that they are getting milk and
cream which is pure and free from
germs. This they do not know with
their own family COW because rarely
if ever one of them is examined"
Mr. Butchers herd of cows had
undergone a test recently and he had
his papers with him showing the con-
dition of each COW.

Beet Tonnage Heavy

More beets had been received by
the National Sugar Mfg. Co. this sea-
son up to November 28 than the total
production of last year. To this date
this year a total of 81 900 tons in the
Ordway district had been received
while the final receipts of last season
we're $4,000 from this district on jan
nary s.
Col. J. B. Wadlington states that
there are yet approximately 10000
tons in the field, some yet in the
ground and others in silos. 1t is es-
timated that they will all be delivered
by December 10. The same compara-

Ordway district are true of the Sugar
City district

The school taught in the old building
retains the name Grandview.

trade off his cells backbone and get
