And you will| gain inspiration and knowledge that | will help you in building up your fu-| ture herd. Animals to be shown at the fair should receive special attention and care. Preparations to show should be started at once. Amnimals cannot be fitted for . the show ring in a day or a week. Two months is not too much. Feed the animals well to get them in good condition. A pcor Individ- ual never appears at its best. Ex- perienced showmen know this, and they start early to put on a little ex- tra‘flesh on their show' animals. If time permits, currying will help to make the skin pliable and soft and the hair silky. Al little oilmeal in the feed will help toward the same end. Clipping the animal ten' days be- fore the fair will improve the looks, especially #f the hair is inclined to be long and coarse. , Every animal should have the hair clipped about | the head as far back as the neck. The tail, all but the switch, should like- wise be clipped. The switch should | be washed with soap and hot water and then combed out. If long hairs are present on the udder, they should be clipped. Teach the animals to lead and practice making them stand so that they will show to the best advantage. | The legs should be placed squarely under the body with head up. Care- fully handling in the show ring will do much toward showing up the ani- mal well and often some of the faults may be made to appear less promin- ent. ! “The horns may be sandpapered, or if very rough, scrape with glass and then finish with sand paper. Take 2 woolen rag and some sweet oil and thoroughly rub ithe horns to produce a glossy appearance. The appearance of the animal counts. It will afford vou pleasure and satisfaction to make some of this preparation before the fair. Wilton is the first village to the west of Bemidji on the Great North- ern railway, a distance of about eight meles. It enjoys the distine- tion of shipping more cordwood out of its community than any city its size in the northwest. There are about 250 pecple living here and all are a busy lot. It was incorporated in 1904. Although not rated among the summer resorts, it ,1s soon bound to hecome one, because ;rf the favorite lakes in the vicin- ty. Its prinqiple business is shipping forest, preducts aund operating a lath mill. The farms; however, in this locality are developing rapidly and Wilton should e the center of a splendid dairying country. Witon has a fine potato ware- house, two stores, a blacksmith shop, church, confectionery stores and such other industries one finds in hustling villages. M. A. Rognlien (s considered the big operator in this village and main- taing a large working force the year avound in his mill, potato warehouse and general store. He is the main- stay “for laborers-in this village and turns the pine products left by the loggers into cash, thereby helping the development of the country and alty alike. splendid summer cottages owned by | William Hines, If you have never| eaten a meal at the Hines table, you ! have not yet completed your edu- cation. There can be no better meals served. | Hines has two general stores, a |bank and several other business| | houses, which go to make up the vil- lage. In it is located the well known | | Hines Consolidated school, one of the, | finest in the territory. Hines has a | population of more than 200 and is| | growing steadily. | ‘Walker is the county seat of Cass| icounty and has a population of about | 11,500. 1t is'the junction point of the Great Northern and M. & 1. rail- roady and is considered one of the| popular summer resort towns in the| the state. | Leech lake with its ragged shore lne, being the longest shore line in the state,. offers advantages to the| |summer vacationist which are hard |to equal anywhere in the United | States. Hundreds of tourists visit here ev-| |ery year and many spend their sum-| mer vacations at this ideal pleasure grounds. | | It has two weekly newspapers, good | |6chools, churches, business blocks and | | homes. | ‘Walker is alsp consdered 2 health | resort, for it is located near the state | |sanatorium, “where hundreds of tu-; | bercular patients are arrested from |the. white plague annually. | The country around Walker is con-| sidered good agricultural land and tarms are being developed at a rapid | clip. g . " CLEARBROOK Clearbrook is situated in the cen- |tral pant of Clearwater county, 30| |miles west of Bemidji on the Soo irailway between Winnipeg and Du- |tuth. Although but ten years old, it | boasts of a population of over 500, and every man, woman and child is a booster for this thrifty little city. It has & grain elevator, two po- itato warehouses, @ co-operative dreamery, ‘two banks, two bhotels, two restaurants, two garages, three general stores, a jewelry store, drug store, two hardware stores, a lumber yard, a flour mill,;a tbox and crating factory. a cement -'block factory, good churches and schools, and a good weekly newspaper. 1t is located in the midst of a rich ggricultural region and is noted for its wheat, corn, potatoes, clover hay, swine and dairy products. Perhaps no other “big little eity” has enjoyed the rapid” development which Clearbrook has enjoyed. It derives its name from the beautiful little ‘brook running through the village, which was officially corpo- rated in 1917, The fact that Clearbrook has de- veloped €0 rapidly during the first ten yeara of its existence is evidence that it has before it a bright future. People like a growing, hustling, bustling city and naturally, are at- tracted to-it, if for no other reason. Clearwater lake is considered among the finest and best pike lakes in the state. It is.not a “fish story,” but a true.one, that no man has ever fished on .this lake and gone away with an empty sack. Boats are to be had at the lake and every accom- odation for a good summer resort ig provided. | | i | | | | ‘The above shows the acre of stumps on the Thomas Porte farm [ after the blast was set off and the air had cleared.
