| lions we feel certain were convinced
of the value of Pyrotol, in tn work
that it is meant to do. They also
learned that Pyrotol, like all other
war salvaged explosives, lacks the
headache that we buy with dynamite.
Likewise, that it is very ln1amma-
BILE explosive and one that precaution
must be taken in printing to get the
best results.
1t being infammable it is necessary
that we use a system of printing
whereby the fuse, which must be
cool burning fuse, must not come in
contact with the material. Therefore,
the system of printing that we are
recommending does not permit the
placing of the fuse through the ex-
plosive nor the printing at the end OF
the stick, but only on the side; using
but one brand Of fuse, which is the
best and the coolest burning fuse
which we can find-that is Glover
Brand
We only regret that more of the
people who are going to use this ma
terial were not present to see these
demonstrations that were put on by
Mr.. Rowland, who has charge OF the
demonstration work in Wisconsin.
Grant County Leads the State Again
Grant county again has the honor
of showing the largest number OF
baby beeves at the Junior Livestock
show held this past week at the Col
Iege of Agriculture. Nineteen of Grant
County's live wire boys and girls
showed in all twenty-four calves that
were a credit to the various breeds
which they represented.
Although we did not produce the
grand champion calf this year as we
di da year ago, the class of calves
were up to and above the average.
Calves with excellent type but lack
ing in finish to the extent that many
good calves were forced to be put
down the line by the judges.
Aside from the calf show, there was
also shown lamb and pig classes
However, no lambs were shown from
Grant county, but it is the hope that
I another year will be able to show
the rest of the state that Grant coun-
ty can produce prize winning lambs.
However, in the Fat Barrow class,
Jennings Barr went End on his Ches-
ter Whites We should have more fat
barrows shown from the greatest of
all swine producing communities in
Wisconsin.
Along with the showing of their
calves in competition with the rest
of the boys and girls of the state
some of the boys and girls of the
state, some of the Grant county fu-
[ ture farmers competed in the judg-
ing contest with very good success,
Joe Retallick winning End; Richard
Harvey 3rd, Allen Barr 5th and Mil
ton Devlin 9Th
Then too in the showman's contest
did Grant county become represented.
But this time honors were won by two
girls, Rachel Kuenster winning Bird
and Alice Kuenster, her sister, 4th.
| What can we expect of such fine
sportsmanlike character that is mold
ed by just such things as fitting, train
ing and showing livestock in this
way. Taking victory with feeling of
sorrow for the fellow who didn't do
so we'll and taking defeat with a
smile. What better training can we
ask for in the molding of real Amer
lean hearts? We should have more
boys and girls joining hands in this
work. We likewise should have more
mothers and fathers giving this work
more thought and encouragement.
! hTe calves were sold on Thursday
afternoon to the various packing
plants and other buyers. The Univer-
sity of Wisconsin bought several of
the Grant county calves to feed. Does
it not speak well for the Grant coun-
! ty stock to have such calves selected
by the college?

Although we had four herds show
/ ing in the herd class we were unable
to place any. Lack of finish on our
calves being the reason for this with
out doubt
About 1900 pounds of baby beef
were sold by Grant county boys and
girls for a total average of S12.35 per
hundred. bringing in all to Grant
county futures about 100000.
Hats off to these boys and girls
from North Andover, Mt. Hope, Wood
man and Fennimore. Aren't there
more like them? Let's make them more
and better in 1925. B. Keenan,, co.
