TOUR MONDAY
GREAT SUCCESS
GUERNSEY BREEDERS OF
NORTH SAW BIGGEST
GUERNSEY HERDS

Seven automobiles, filled with yisi-
tors from Lincoln county, all of them
enthusiastic boosters for the Lincoln
County Guernsey Breeders associa-
ton, were accompanied by fifteen cars
full of Marathon county enthusiasts
on Monday last when tour or Mara
thon county farms on which there are
fine. healthy and large herds of Guern-
seys. was made. The day was ideal
and a more satisfactory trip could not
have been made, the only unsatisfac-
tory feature being the omission OF
certain Marathon farms that could
not be reached by nightfall.
Ready for Inspection
At every farm the party stopped,
the Grernseys were held at the barn
and the visitors were thus given an
opportunity to see the herds without
delay. AS the tour proceeded, addi-
tional automobiles joined. Among the
delegates were: A. H. Cole, county
agent of Lincoln county, VIM. Bickery
of Gleason, president of the Lincoln
County association, Frank Clark OF
Tomahawk, vice president, w. A. Hol-
loway, Merrill, secretary, and W.
Steckles, Merrill, Frank Graund, Pine
River, Robert Parker, DR.. George
Theila, " S., Tomahawk Mr. and Mrs.
william Laatsch, Miss Hattie Laatsch,
town of Maine, VIM. Sharbius, Merrill,
and the Misses Florence Dunn, home
demonstration agent to the north,
Belle Scott, Mildred Dewey, Marie
Hummer and Katie Berschat.
Farms Visited
The first farm visited was that of
William Ehrbach, near Athens, where
a fine herd of sixty cattle was seen.
At the Maple Grove farms, the next
stop, thirty pure bred Guernseys and
fifteen grades, were inspected. The
VIM. Lonsdorf farm was another
pleasant place to stop and here TWEEN
ty-four fine pure breds were ready to
be examined Mr.. Lonsdorf accompan-
led the party to the Il. w. Pfrang farm
near Edgar and here a dandy lunch
consisting of coffee, sandwiches and
ince cream, was served. The farm of
c. J. Bauman & Sons near Marathon,
was cordial place to stop and par
ticularly as there were twelve fine
pure breds and eighteen grades to see.
AT the Pfrang farm the party had i'm
spected twenty-five Guernseys that
have made splendid record and were
greeted by the sign Welcome Lincoln
County Breeders
Last Leg
Fred Bandy's. Adolph ThompsOn's
and Walter Alenxander's herds were
next In order. The Bandy herd con-
sists OF twenty-five pure breds. At the
Thompson farm Nander Nelson spoke
and at Mr.. Alexander's farm, lemon
ade, sandwiches and cigars were
served and Mr.. Alexander gave short
talk. The farm purchased by c. A.
Nelson and Sons from B. F. Wilson
was visited next, and the day was COM
plete.
More OF these visits are likely to
take place in the future and Marathon
breeders feel that they. too, will re-
ceive much benefit by paying occasion
al visits to the farms of Guernsey
breeders in neighboring counties.
