FAIR'S DRAFT HORSES
Purple Bloods By Hundreds at the Indjana Exposition.
Heavy weight, or draft horses, the showy, purple-blooded kind of animals •which always win enthusiastic admiration from visitors to the Indiana State Fair, will be in greater evidence than ever at the exposition to be held the •week of September 12. As an importer and breeder of these horses, Indiana is in front rank, and while the show of draft horses has for years been a notable one at the fair, it promises to go well over the old standards for both quality and quantity. Indiana importers have for months been searching the horse markets and country districts of Europe for highly bred Percheron and French drafts, Clydesdales, Shires and Belgians, and before summer ends several hundreds of these animals will be shipped direct tp Indiana and will make their first American appearance at the state fair. They will be the prize winners of Europe's horse shows and fairs and they will contest for ribbons each day in the state fair coliseum, will be conspicuous in the night shows and in the live stock day parades along the drives of the fair grounds.
In addition to the horses that are coming fresh from Europe, a large number of American breJ draft animals will be at the fair. Showy teams of two four and six draft horses will be one of the admirable features of the live stock displays in the coliseum. The premiums on draft horses amount to $3,835, and a generous number of expensive silver cups, gold and silver medals and honor ribbons will be awarded.
The Hackneys, German, American and other coach horses, beautiful animals which win as much admiration as the drafts, will be strongly in evidence at the fair.
The whole family of blue-blooded horses is included in the state fair shows. Both day and night the arena •will abound in spirited harness and saddle horses and all told 600 or more will be in the various sliow classes. Including the speed division, horses •will dominate the state fair. For show horses the prizes amount to a total of $14,875 and in the races the purses reach $33,400, making $48,275 that is offered as prizes for horses.
FARM BOY CONTESTS
High Quality of Instruction Given at State Fair.
As an incentive and help to the boys of Indiana farms to make greater efforts in the agricultural calling, a number of contests, in which the prizes are very attractive, have been arranged by the state fair management, to be held at the exposition the week of September 12. Chief among them will be a judging contest for boys who have never attended an agricultural school, and five scholarships, worth a total of $500, in the Purdue School of Agriculture will go to the winners. The boys will pass on the merits of horses and cattle as the animals appear in the state fair coliseum, and they will also judge sheep, swine, com and wheat. They will give their opinions on the same live stock and farm products that the regular judges of the fair pass on. This contest will be directed by Prof. G. I. Christie, of Purdue University, and farm boys who desire to participate should send their names to the secretary of the fair at Indianapolis by August 27.
Purdue University is doing a very extensive and practical education work at the state fair every year. Experts from this institution have charge of the fair's dairy building and many lines of Purdue's work is exploited for fair visitors. By means of fruits, feeds, fertilizers, photos and charts the results of experiments are explained. A display of Indiana weed seeds and methods of eradication will be shown. In the dairy building, too, practical demonstrations of many kinds are given and numerous free lectures on farm topics are heard.
Old Soldiers at Indiana Fair. The state fair will honor the memory of Gen. John Coburn on old soldiers' day at the exposition, September 13, when the veterans will be admitted free. The souvenir badges of the day will bear the portrait of Gen. Coburn, who was a member of the legislature •which created the state fair in 1851. Gen. Coburn was born in Indianapolis in 1825 and throughout his life was Identified with the city's civic development. He was graduated from Wabash college in 1846, was admitted to the bar in 1850 and his election to the legislature in *51 was the first public office whicn he held. In 1858 he was elected a judge of the common pleas court. He organized the 33d Indiana regiment which was mustered in at Indianapolis on September 16, 1861,

about a month later he led the regiment in its first fight, at Wildcat, Ky., where Zollicoffer's forces were defeated. The regiment was in the fight at, Cumberland Gap, saw much ^service under Gen. Rosecrans, and during the Atlanta campaign was almost

Gounty Milk.
The Polk Sanitary Milk Company of Indianapolis, recently sent a representative of the company to Willow7 Branch to investigate the prospects for securing a supply of milk from I that section of. Samuel Dungan, who visited Willow and took an auto I ride around the country looking at the herds of milk cows was well pleased with the prospects. He is a soninlaw of Mr. Polk, president of the
Company, and is manager of the Company. He decided to put in a milk plant, and Superintendent Desoby, of the Indiannpolis plant, I visited Willow Branch last Saturday and picked out a location for the I building to be erected. It will be located on the south side of the electrie line, opposite the traction station. Superintendent Desoby is pleased with the prospects.
J. O. Fort, one of the merchants of Willow Branch, will have charge of the business of the plant, and he is receiving a great many inquiries and requests about information, as to route, etc.
Mr. Fort thinks the plant will start out with 700 or 800 gallons of milk per I day. The locating of this plant at Willow will be a most fortunate and convenient thing for the farmers of that section, as it will enable them to secure Indianapolis prices for their milk right at home.
The contract for the building will probably be let this week and the work begun and pushed' to completion as rapidly as possible, as the Indianapolis people are anxious to get the plant in operation. It will probably be in operation by September 15 th.
