With fair weather and the prospects for a I
of the same, people commenc-
to arrive at an early hour, while exhibi-
tors continued to crowd in their entries
The books at 10 o'clock showed over 1900
entries with more coming in. The books
will be closed at Il o'clock, and the way

department is large and presents q very at
~tractive appearance. All of our leading
manufacturers are on hand with q large as
sortment of their best work.
THE MOLINE Pillow co.
exhibit a splendid assortm eut Of plows, but
what attracts attention is their Western
Walking Cultivator-the king of Cultivstors
of which over 5000 have been sold during
the past season. They claim for this cult
vAtor that it is simple, light, compact and
durable; that !. is sufficiently strong and
flexible in all its parts; that it readily con.
forms to any inequalities of ground that it
can be gagged to any depth and width OF
blowing; can be used among ssumps and
roots without danger of breaking, and is
more easily and quickly adjusted than any
other, all of which qualities make it desira-
bic to farmers.
DEERE & co.
are on hand to-day with a full display Of
their celebrated Moline Plows, ten different
styles, extra finish with the bright and pol
lshed steel glistening in the sun like bur
nished gold, while the woodwork is elsbo
rAtely finished in oil, showing to the best
