| The exhibit of cattle was one of
the largest. and best ever seen on the
grounds and one of the most satis-
factory parts of the exhibit was the
Judging done by F. E. Duffy of West
Hartford, Conn.,, man of wide ex-
perlence. He was not afraid to rule
out entries which did not deserve pre-
miums. Much general satisfaction
was expressed over his work. Most
OF the exhibits were by the local
farmers and much of the stock was
bred and raised locally.
The blue ribbon Holstein bull was
that of N. M. Hubbard of West Glow
er, and the bull was from the c.. w.
Bean dairy of Glover. Mr.. Bean won
first prize in the aged cow class and
he received four blue ribbons with
ms tnree-year. two-year, yearling

prize. Mr.. Bean also got other prizes

months old and with his milking herd,
and several lesser prizes.
Clyde Vance of West Glover took
away most of the honors in the grade
Holstein classes and took first money
with his pure-bred bull calf over six
months of age.

yeariing bull entered by the Moxley
Stock farm of Irasburg, the animal

took first money with his Jersey bull
in the three-year-old or over class,
first with his two-year-old heifer and
took some other prize money. E. L.
Alexander of Glover has the blue rib
bon COW and the blue ribbon three
year-old heifer as well as the first
prize milking herd and took away
more ribbons than any other single

was another prominent Jersey win

first money, his yearling heifer and
his heifer calf under six months old
each taking first money as well as
his bull six months old. To come SO
