Continued from last week
CATTLE DEPARTMENT

The exhibition of cattle at the eoun-
ty fair was the largest in its history,
and very appropriately concluded on
Friday afternoon in the livestock pa
rade. A special request was made TO
have all exhibitors have their animals
in parade before the grandstand.
In the many classes premiums were
distributed over very large territory.
The outside competition was very
readily accepted by the home county
breeders and also very much appre-
ciated. In the dairy classes there was
splendid competition in practically
every division. In the Holstein class
highest honor goes to Mr.. John Vande-
ploeg of Lacrosse county, in that he
won the grand championship in both
male and female class. In this class
Oberson & Sons showed the champion
male over two years of age, whereas
vandeploeg showed the champion male
under two years of age Higgins
Bros.of Libert yPole showed the cham
pion female under two years while
Vandeploeg showed the champion fe-
male over two years.
In the Guernsey class competition
was given by p. Engler, Jacobson
Bros, A. B. Swiggum and T. Hetland.
The competition resulted in having A.
B. Swiggum show the champion male
over two years old while Engler show
ed the male under two years of age.
The final decision was given to A. B.
Swiggum for grand champion. In the
female class jacobson Bros. showed
champions for both age classes. The
competition finally resulted in giving
the aged COW grand champion of all
in that class.

wise grand championship.
In the Ayrshire class competition

competition resulted in no showing in
the male class over two years of age.
In the male class under two years of
/ age R. Atkins was most successful.
The female championship for both
aged classes was easily won by Moore
& Sands and likewise the grand cham
pion famale.
Of the beef classes the Shorthorn
breed predominated Those entering
competition were E. j. Stanek of La
Fargo, E. B. Jones of Lacrosse coun-
! ty, EARL & Cchwert of Rockton, Will
lard Getter of Viroqua and A Goche-
naur of Viola. The open class compe-
tition brought out EARL & Schwert

years of age and E. j. Stanek with
| champion male under two years of
age. Grand champion honors in this
class was finally awarded to Erall &
| Schwert. The female classes of both
ages were we'll represented by cham
pions of E. B. Jones, likewise grand
champion honors.
In the Hereford class competition
was entered by Thorsgaard of West
by and John Mckee of Ross. Thors-
gard showed champions in both male
classes and consequently grand cham
pion male. The female champion
| classes were divided with Thorsgaard
showing youngest females, however,
winning grand champion honors for
the female class.
The Red Pole class was limited to
L. M. Thompson. However, some diff
ficulty was experienced in placing the
grand champion classes in that Mr.
Thompson showed a splendid lot of
animals.
Of all prizes awarded in this de-
partment the herdsmen special at
tracted the greatest interest The
competition was keen and much at
tention was given in keeping the walk
stalls in most presentable condition.
Much difficulty was experienced in
finally placing awards in as much as
all exhibitors had given considerable
time and energy in winning the prize.
1t was decided however, to name EARL
& Schwert as winner of first Vande-
ploeg second and Stanek third.
