st: How do I properly tell Stata this data is Panel Data?

Essentially my data looks as follows:
County CountyNumber Year Quarter ......................
Allen 1 2001 1
Allen 1 2001 2
Allen 1 2001 3
Allen 1 2001 4
Allen 1 2002 1
... ... ... ...
Allen 1 2008 4
Anderson 2 2001 1
... ... ... ...
Anderson 2 2008 4
It continues this way for 105 counties. My question is how do I use the xtset command when I have both Year and Quarter as time variables. County and CountyNumber are both classifying the same thing in the dataset.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew Nicholson
