erd bull Beauty'S GlenWOOd of
chippewa" being placed first.
Cloverdale Farm, owner o. E.
Espeseth, was third in number
and the herd bull, ia Marines
JEAN won third in the aged
bull class. All are splendid ami
mails in every respect.
USE SHOW METHODS
The entire Guernsey exhibit was a
fine one and in some of the younger
ones shown bulls owned by J. G. Sey-
fert, J. Cronquist and Adams Bros,
win no doubt fill the aged classes at
future fairs. Apparently the owners
made more effort to fit them up for
the show ring than ever before and
the Adams herd, in charge of Elmer
Gloyd, plainly indicated that
Elmer had shown stock at fairs some
where before. The bull of J. G. Sey-
fert had also had some state fair
care that made him a classy looking
animal and went to prove that the
time used in fitting up show animals
is well used.
p. F. Brunswick was the only Hol
stein man showing purebreds and as
result picked off the money for that
famous milk breed.
Some remarkably good grade and
natiY were 81 own and the total
made show By all odds the
best ever and one to do credit at
any county fair in the state.
SHOW MORE SHEEP
The sheep showing was also the
largest ever seen at the Villas County
fair, VIM. Kolehouse as usual lead
ing with the most pens hut with indi-
cations that he is going to encounter
more opposition from now on.
NEED MORE HOGS
Two pens of hogs were shown which
is not enough for any fair that exhib-
its as many dairy cattle. Hogs and
COWS make a combination that no
well managed farm can afford to over
look, and next year we hope to see
more evidences of successful farm
ing at the fair.
PRIZE POULTRY SHOWN
The poultry exhibit was in keeping
with the large display of last year
and as an example of the fact that
it pays to advertise good specimens
of ny kind of stock at fair, we were
talking with one exhibitor of birds
there when two strangers stepped up
and asked if he had any of that stock
for sale and if so, they wanted to take
some home with them.
DRY SPELL CUTS EXHIBITS
The agricultural building was not
quite up to the last year in number
Of exhibits, due presumably, to the
fact of an unusually dry period at the
time when grain was ripening and
when most vegetable products are
making their best growth. Small
grains we're not quite as numerous
and there was not the usual display
of vegetables and sheafed grain and
grasses. The potato exhibit was how
ever a typical Villas county one both
in number and quality One of the
largest and most beautiful displays
was in the floral department. and
that ttracted much admiration from
every visitor. Dent corn samples were
unusually well matured and the gar
den and small fruits exceptionally
good and numerous. Other depart
ments we'll worth looking at we're the
Villas County school children exhib
it's and the ladies departments of sew
ing embroidery cooking, canning, ETC.
A tent exhibit of the Flambeau In
dams consisting of bead and basket
work, samples of vegetables grown on
the reservation and canned goods put
up by the women were really surpris
ing to any one who was not aware of
their familiarity with the routine of
housewifely accomplishments, that is
an every day matter with their white
sisters.
