There was poor showing in this
department. 9siIgr 40 aiJohr ~
J. W. Henderson, of Polk county,
exhibited a machine for vitroling
wheat, which was generally regarded
as an article of utility. h' 7- i'-
Mr.. Woodcock, of Monroe, Benton
county, had a; Hunters. separator.
It was fayorably noticed by the farm
ers. There were d few other articles
in this on thelgronnd, but it was
impossible to learn the names of the
exhibitors. The truth is that the
showing in this class was meager in
the extreme. '' l a'Aif u
