FINE FAIR AT HILLSBORO

play of all farm produce, livestock
and a good attendance.
The one day livestock and grain
show began very early in the morning
when great numbers of cattle from al
parts of the country began to assem-
bic under the large tent. All breeds
of all ages were brought to compete
for the liberal premiums prepared by
the local committee of the show. Two
mammoth tents were provided to
house all the cattle brought in for ex-
hibit. One large tent was given to
housing the hogs, and still a third
large tent was given to educational
exhibits, canned goods and farm pro
duce. Exhibits in all departments fill
ed the tents to their capacity and evil
IDENTIFY were arranged after much care
full investigation of the total number
of exhibits which were to be brought
in.
Besides the usual attractions niclud-
ing the ferris wheel, merry-go-round,
a splendid evening program was pre-
pared, consisting of an elaborate dis
play of fire works and moving pic
lures. Abundance of music incorpo-
rated in the program gave entertain
ment for young and old. A special
feature of the afternoon program was
that of the livestock judging and the
baseball game. The fact that $500
in money was offered to the winners
of the baseball game obviates the ne
ccssity of mentioning the crowd that
assembled to witness the contest
A few notes relative to the livestock
exhibits will suffice to show the en-
thusiasts in the various branches of
livestock promotion work. In the
dairy classes three breeds were shown,
Holstein, Guernsey and Jersey. In
the Holstein class competition was en-
tered by Fred Dreischmeier, Schroeder
Bros, H. A. Thompson, and Frank

ming honor of the grand champion

Wheeler, Melvin Lee, and John Setter
of Hillsboro. In the male class John

ton the qualiay fthe exhibit shown

A very attractive demonstration of
dairy cattle was put on by the COW
tester, Werner Sorenson, in which five
cows were EXHIBITED. Property of Gus
Knick, Albert Flick, Fred Dreischmeier,
Dwane Tracy and Frank Havlik. Mr..
Sorenson proceeded nj his demonstra-
ton by having the Judge, Mr.. B. T.
Warwick first place the animals ac-
cording TO their show quality merit,
and then further gave their production
in pounds of milk and butterfat. The
demonstration showed that the COW
placed third according to confirmation
was first in her class according to
production. In brief, the demonstra-
ton proved that confirmation, that is,
ideal type and production, no not au-
tomatically work together but that
dairymen must direct their effort
along those lines of production which
will give combination of show quail
ity and production which is ultimate
profit.
Another special attraction of the
show was the creamery special or jun
Tor department, in which the three
dairy breeds were represented. Hol-
stein. Guernsey and Jersey, In this
class high honors go to Harry Dowden,

sented by E. L. Daniels, B. Gross,
George Goodman of Hillsboro, Erall
& Schwert of Rockton. The Chester

National Dairy Show
The week of October 9th to 14th in
the dairy sections fthe United States
and other countries will be given over
to the National Dairy Show at St.Paul
1t is anticipated that more and better
exhibits will be shown this year than
was ever shown in the history of the
country. Dairymen of Wisconsin are
showing particular interests in this
national event because of its proximity
TO their home state. DaiTynden of Yer
non county will be particularly inter-
ested in this show because of the fact
that it is nearest home that it has ever
been held and perhaps the neares;
that it will be held for som etime to
come. All dairymen are especially
urged to spend the week at this ma
tional show.
