Tor any dairy breed to compete. The

old and registered. The females
need not all be registered, but there
must be one mature COW, one two
year old heifer, one yearling heifer,
and one heifer calf under a year old.
The second and third prizes in this
class are $12 and So, respectively.
For the beef cattle there is the
same class with it's rules but the
first premium is SIS cash instead of
the silver cup.
The animals that are shown in
these herd classes may also be en-
tered in the other individual classes.
The secretary expects quite num-
Der OF entries in the herd class, as
he has heard from a number of stock
owners from various parts of the
county who express their intention of
showing their herd.
The exhibits of such herds and the
winnings in that class are always
considered to be one of the greatest
credits a stock breeder can secure
1t is a great achievement to show a
herd of five cattle and win. In both
state fairs and county fairs, the
stock men always look with envy up
on the winnings in this class. 1T is
the biggest feature in the live stock
department.
In the poultry department, there is
also special class for exh bits of
eggs. Eggs should be exhibited in
one dozen lots and should be uniform
in size and color and should be clean.
One precaution that is given, is not
tor wash the eggs hard to get them
clean. Washing removes an exterior
fiilament around the shell which takes
away the natural appearance ard also
intelferes with the keeping quality of
the eggs. Clean eggs should be Sc
lected at the start. This is worthy
department in the poultry section.
AS the poultry industry is based not
only on the marketing value and the
quality of the chickens themselves,
but also on the egg The secretary
explains that the principal reason for
putting in this class is to bring more
zs9ention to the handling and care
and marketing of eggs of proper
quality and marketing condition
There will be an expert on the
grounds who will show people how
to sort eggs properly and also how
to select the best laying hens and how
to detect the poor ones. Everyone
interested in poultry should make an
effort to see this man and get some
pointers from him.
In the farm crops department,
there is also a new special class.
This is for the best agricultural ex-
hibit of farm products and garden
truck that is put up by an individual
farmer. The first prize is silver
cup presented by the Great Northern
Railway
The second prize is $12 and the
third prize So. The contestants for
these prizes should carefully select
their material and be prepared to put
it up in a neat and attractive way at
the place assigned to them in the ag-
ricultural building on the fair ground.
The superintendent of tho vroman's
department is very anxious to see the
thrift department filed; this is the
class for made-overl garments. Pre-
MUM lists may be had at the banks
in Sank Centre or from the secretary
and she urges everyone who has any
reat made-over garments to exhibit
them in this class. See rules and reg
ulations in the premium list for de-
tails governing this exhibit.
The school exhibit, as usual, pro-
misses to be good one and all classes
well filled. The superintendent states

in his department to have all the ex-
