The county fair furnishes to breed
ers OF registered stock the best pos
slble opportunity to come in contact
with their prospective buyers. More
registered stock will be handled in
Stearns county during the NEXT two
years than all previous and breeders
who take advantage of their county
falr as means of becoming acouaint-
ed with the buyers of the county will
naturally be found to, have the adj
vantage over breeders who are not
genrally known in their neighborhood.
=. B. Heller secretary of the
Stearns County Holstein Breeders AS
ISOLATION and Thomas Zeckowski presi-
dent of the Holstein Association in
this county will exhibit stock from
their herds for the first time at the
Stearns county fair. Mr.. Zeckowski
has consigned to the sale eight two
year Odds and yearling bulls and four
bull calves. Mr.. Zeckowski's herd is
now headed by a son of King of the
Pontiac which sire has more register
ed A. R. d. daughters than any sire

calves and three heifer calves, nine
