was watched closely by the farmers.
Ditmanson & Nelson occupied cen
ter booth, and displayed a photograph,
ladies' coat with fur collar and cuffs,
and also had line of canned goods on
exhibit
had the usually fine display of garden
truck and fruit. These exhibits were
exceptionally good this year.
The display of poultry was limited
to few varieties The chicken display
was worthy of special mention.
There were several pens of tame
rabbits and they were all tOp-notchers.
Some of them were the biggest we have
ever seen.
A very good showing of automobiles
was feature of the fair, the following
makes being represented: Maxwell.
The Chevrolet had the largest display
in number. Considerable attention
was attracted by the mechanical de-
vice shown by the Chevrolet people to
utilize the driving wheels of an auto
mobile for general power purposes. A
great deal of interest was manifested
in the new small Overland.
Cattle at County Fair
Chas: B. Collins, of Exeland, exhibit
ed a fine Guernsey bull two years old
on which he took first. He got 2nd on
COW, 2nd on heifer, and first on calf.
His display was very good, and his
winnings despite hard competition,
were satisfactory. He has the famous
Langworth strain. crossed with the
equally famous May Rose strain. There
are none better.
W. G. Crandall, Of Murry, had the
best display of Brown Swiss cattle on
exhibition that we have ever seen any
where. The old cow Duchess of Wal
worth is noble dam, and fine in
dividual She is the foundation of the
Crandall herd, and from her offspring
Mr.. Crandall has sold over $4,000 worth
Of cattle. This cow took first and
champion The bull Maple King is a
fine individual, and got 1st and cham
pion. 1st and champion on senior and
1st on Junior yearling heifers were al
lowed two beautiful young cows that
would have won at a state fair. They
have all the points necessary, and will
develope into two great cows. Another
attraction was the two-weeks' old bull
calf, a perfect specimen of the breed,
and it's two-year-old mother. These
both took first in their class. This
young bull would be cheap at 500, but
Mr.. Crandall sold him for $50 during
the fair
W. G.. Crandall took first on bull of
IL months from the old Duchess COW,
and sired by Burr Oak, the old herd
bull that was sold last fall. Ten head
of the old cows progeny are still owned
by Mr. Crandall. This is wonderful
achievement, and shows what a good
cow will do i'm ten years time.
The Crandall herd of Brown Swiss
cattle were brought in from off the pas
ture, and were all fat enough for beef.
J. B. GrOen and son, won all the
prizes on boar / year old young
boars, and sow with eleven pigs. This
