COUNTY FAIR Is
In FULL BLAST
RECORD CROWD ATTENDED
BIG EXHIBITION YESTER-
DAY AFTERNOON.
EVERY BUILDING is PACKED
TO OVERLOOKING WITH
EXHIBITS.

What will no doubt prove by far
the biggest and grandest County Fair
in the history of Brown county, opened
it's gates to the public at the Fair
Grounds in New Uhn, Monday morn
ing. All day long the department
superintendent and dozens of assist
ants were kept exceedingly busy,
entering the various exhibits, which are
considerably more numerous than at
any previous County Fair. Every ex-
hibition building on the grounds is
packed to overfowing and carl enters
were at work nearly all day Monday,
constructing temporary sheds and pens
to house the horsesy cattle and hogs
that could not find room in the regular
structures.
New Cattle Barn Filled.
The splendid new cattle barn. just
com pleted,, was believed to be large
enough to accomm odate the horses, as
we'll as the bovines that would be ex-
hibited, but it was found necessary to
move the horses to the old racing
stables, and every stall was filled.
Every available space in the large new
cattle barn was occupied by blue-bloods
from the leading herds in this section
of the state. Among the. exhibitors
are: Ferdinand Crone and Joseph
Bianchi, New Ulm, Holstein; Theodore
Hensel, Milford, Elmer Gleason & Son,
Nicollet, and e.. O. Hutchinson, Sleepy
Eye, Guernseys; Henry Diepolder,
Lafayette township, John Huelskam p,
Lafayette township, and Theodore
THORN odson, Lake Hanska, Red
Polled; A. C. Matter, Lamberton,
Joseph Altman & Sons, West Newton.
and j. F. Potter, Springfield, Short
horns; John Faltis, Sleepy Eye, and
Herman Pfaender and Robert Runck,
Milford township, Herefords. In adj
dition, there is also some Dutch Belted
and Brown Swiss stock on exhibition.
227 Porkers.
Early Monday it was noticed that
the new hog barn, erected last year,
would prove much too small to ac-
comm odate the many prize porkers
that were offered for entry, and car.
penters were imm ediately put to work,
erecting tenn porary sheds to the north
of the barn. AS an indication of the
ize of this departm ent ut need but
be mentioned that there are, by actual
count, 227 pigs on exhibition. This
includes the entries in the Boys and
Girls Pig Contests. The poultry
building is also filled to the doors with
feathery blue-bloods and pets. There
are also several pens of sheep.
Many Young Folks Active.
That the farmer boys and girl OF
Brown county are devoting their
energies to producing prime cattle and
hogs is demonstrated by the splendid
entries in the club contests at this
years County Fair.

Isaksen, Joseph Isaksen, Harry Isak-
sen, Elmer Anderson and Herbert
