CLASS FARM, GARDEN AND DAIRY PRO-
DUCTS.
The committee to whom was referred
class Farm products, report:
The exhibition of tho farm, the garden
and the dairy, which were submitted to their
examination, were in the highest degree
creditable to the farmers, and proof positive
of the extraordinary fertility of the soil.
The rooms devoted to class F. were thronged
during the continuance of the Fair, by an
incessant stream of passing visitors. The
town people and visitor from other States

and happy faces and to these and to all
Minnesotians there was occasion for great
qualification and thankfulness that their lot
was cast in country where extraordinary
fruitfulness was so satisfactorily and COM
pletely demonstrated.
