IN exhibitors inAthis class. Many fine
Ipeciments were shown and we think
AAt R~ottinean county breeders have
~ good shorthorns Us can be found
ii my section Of the State and with
The coming of normally again Y
breeders will feel like stepping ont
after. the bigger trophies in the show
game. The Herford BREEDERS got into
the game this year and made a show
ing that was q surprise to many, en-
tries being second in number to the
Shorthorns. Prominent exhibitors be-
". y. Mcfarland, Russell, Burk-
hart and Morris, Omemee, Phil Nelson
Antler and William Scully, Bottineau.
Some fine quality animals were shown
and exhibitors are showing the ngnt
spirit in getting into the game to pro.
mote their fancy in this sturdy oreed
of cattle. MI. Netherlands herd show
ed care in fitting and were OF quality
sufficient to compete at the State Far.
Conditioing for the show is very I'M
portant as all big exhibitors are aware
and is always taken in to account oy
the Judges when placing the awards
Netherlands Herefords showed the re-
suit of an alfalfa and corn diet winch
always spells "better cattle"
Some fine Red Polls were shown oy
M. O. Farden Of Maxbass; John Mar
tinson, Landa; Olous Hines and Geo.
White showed some fine registered
Holstein bulls and Mr.. Martinson TOOK
all awards in grade Holstein females.
j. G. Stover's Jersey cow came IN
for a lot Of distinction by winning a
first prize and two of the business
mems special prizes, for best dairy
COW shown at the Fair.
Richard Mari won all awards IN
Dairy Shorthorn classes.
James B. Davidson Of Carman, Man.
placed all cattle awards.
The Sheep department was strong
this year, in fact the best showing
that ever was made at the Bottlneau
County Fair. Prominent exhibitors as
follows, Guy Chapman, Maxbass; }:
F. Artz, Antler, J. A. Toms, Bottineau
v. A. Kemp, Maxbass, Carl Bastein,
Kramer. Chapman and Artz winning
the Bottineau County Wool Growers
specials. The registered 'Shropshires
comprised the bigger part Of the show
and seem to be the breeders favorites
in Bottineau county.
r. M. Trimble of Westhope and G.
Whitteron of Bottineau were on hand
with some very fine Poland Chinas as
usual and wiped up all the prizes in
this class, while Adam Cranston and
Chas. Schoonover won all the prizes
in Chester Whites in registered class
and J. T. Lexa on grade hogs.
Messrs. Geo. Bell and W. J. Renton
Of Deloraine, Man. placed the sheep
and hog awards.
The. Poultry display was a strong
feature again. Judge Whitney COM
mented very fluently on the improve
ment in this department from the
first show that he judged here ten
years ago, and claims a very marked
improvement in qualit yof birds shown
judged from both the standard and
egg type. An additional tent was nee
essary to house the overflow exhibit
in this department this year. We car
truthfully boast the best poultry ex-
hibit of any county fair in North Da.
kota both as to quality of stock, mum.
Der Of entries and proper classifica-
ton Of breeds.
The exhibits in the Grain and Grass
department an dalso the vegetables
were quite a surprise to many as lit
tie was expected in this department
owing to the earliness of the Fair. W.
had some very fine corn and early
vegetables and even ripe tomatoes on
exhibit. Some fine bundles of Sweet
Clover, corn in stalk and grains in
straw were also shown which taken
collectively made a evry nice display
The Observation Bee Hive, showing
the Honey Bees in operation was a
special exhibit of the Clover Bee
Farm, Eckman. A great deal of in.
terest was manifest in this exhibit and
we venture to state that with the COM
ing Of sweet clover that the bee hives
will soon be very common on Botti-
neau County farms and that honey
will cease to be the great luxuary that
it is now here.
There are many other features
worthy Of special mention such as Mr.
Goth's fine display of Indian Relics
and novelties exhibited in the Art Hall
building.
