t f ends � we refer to the meat preparation of c ale bo den and the preserved fruits of vm smith of ny tl e is now an approved food having received a prize at the london exhibition it is formed by boiling down the strong beef of and mixing into the strong beef tea thus formed a certain proportion of the finest flour four of this are sufficient food for a man on active service it is light and keeps without change owing to the profusion of the cattle in the manufacture of the meat is carried on in that state near to the preserved fruits of m s th p f ij d by any other specimens t he preserves the fruit neither j p b b t t or a of the sam d bj th th bursting or the of f p and h flavor preserved by careful under water and preservation from contact with the air in au its stages the fruit is of the same whiteness as in its fresh state why are not these in this exhibition even here they would stand and may anywhere challenge there are a few specimens of preserved milk in the american department as also exhibited by co who show all afterward mr smith has removed his from our state to in to be where grow and preserved food kinds of vegetable e are useful pr on they arc made solid b partial of tbe milk and the subsequent of and sugar until the whole of and some looking preparations from the blood of the great f of the soil our first survey of ihe gave ua the tbat there was no display of the agricultural of the united states in the raw or natural condition of their growth not finding them in the agricultural department we had supposed there was an entire want or unfortunate in this to us and many thousands of other most interesting part of any exhibition that to present a view of the industry of all na � which we are just simple enough to suppose should include our own we can however now report that there is a w of used for human food it may be found on the lower floor next to the wall upon the north east side looking out towards forty second street as you enter from that street turn to the left and you will soon see all that we have seen the first articles in this collection that you will be to notice are a baker s dozen of very and very ancient looking roots there is no name nor anything to indicate what they are ov where they are from or why they are there the sole representatives of their numerous family and it is very difficult fur on to guess we happened to be able to tell sundry that they were potatoes they stared and wondered next to these are seven ears of white ent corn of large size small and long produced as a tells us by selection of seed this is and really useful interesting information next to these are nine other ears in the of similar white com which we came from the south or west next are three ears of corn also white which any one who knows can say was grown some of the soil where in the northern states its general appearance and round smooth then comes a collection � four white ears twelve yellow seed corn half an ear mixed blue and white and three boxes full of corn one striped one purple flint one yellow one of one of spring wheat one of winter and one of wild also a indian pack of the exhibited by m le due d captain of the army and whose names are an honor to the only section of the united states making any pretence toward a show there are also two of common field beans and two other which may possibly contain some uncommon ones or something else there is a beautifully arrayed case of ears and of indian corn intended to show all the kinds grown in this state for which we are indebted to col b p johnson secretary of the new york agricultural society as well as for two other cases of english grain this case of corn would be very interesting but it is placed in such a had light tliat nobody can sec it to any advantage now tell it not in but ye farmers of the united states and listen ye of this exhibition of industry this is the sum total of your agricultural in the raw state there is in the same neighborhood a good show of highly finished flour barrels which probably contain very white flour there are several neat looking bottles of and a said to contain sugar from a southern plantation there are some very white refined sugar and some pure looking and possibly a few other things is a case with some of yard long wool � the animals which produced it are among the outside one glass case of what probably may b eight of fine wool but aa yet invisible one case of fine cotton and several of that article and also some of and if this does not the sum total of the farm we hope somebody will correct our list which in fact articles � as refined sugar cotton and dressed and there is one dry limb of a cotton stalk showing the the great exhibition as it appears when ready to pick but that is stuck up almost out of sight with no name to what it is or where it grew or whether it grew at a about which many who look at it are quite uncertain and is the new york world s exhibition of industry and production of american farmers i can anything more disgraceful to that class of
