in them. His establishment is one of the largest
in the West, and as It employees $50 workmen,
and is full of the most most modern machinery,

The Eagle Machine Works of this city nave
space on the east side of the fair grounds, with
a frontage of sixty feet and depth of two hun
dred feet, upon which has been crowded one of
the largest and most valuable and interesting
exhibits ever placed in any fair These works
were established over third of century ago,
and their good name has gone the entire
land. Many of their manufactures are cOnsid-
cred almost staple, and in large sections of
country are practically without competition. On
this ground are shown ten-horse traction en-.
CINE, an osclllatOr, q straw-stacker, pony q
double saw-mll (Which is successfully operated
by ten-horse-power portable engine. and with
hut two men-the engineer and sawer-cuts
from 500 1903 OOO'feet of lumber in less than ten
hoursl, plantation saw-mill, merchant saw
mill, and a ten-horse farm engine. The
last-named stands unrivaled. 1t has made
its reputation and its fame is a household word.
OF the strawstacker 1t must be said that il is the
best and most successful stacker in the market
and the demand last season was so large for 1t
that 1t was impossible to fill all orders for it.
With this stacker two men can do the work of
eight or ten, and do it better than 1t can posi-
bly, be done in the old-fashioned way. It is the
quickest and surest stacker in the market, and
has commended itself to every practical, pro-
Grafton.
The Studebaker Wagon Works, of South Bend,
Ind, have space Immediately east of the Ex-
position building, and here H. @. Baird, the
State agent, is making an exhibit of these
famous wagons The present enormous bust
ness had its beginning in 1918 with the father
of the four brothers, who III 1883, sixty five
years later, carry this great establishment,
which now employees 500 men, and has over
5000 persons dependent upon the works. These
are the largest wagon works in the world, the
buildings and yards covering over eighty five
acres. They turn ont wagon every five
minutes, or 120 each working day in the year.
The interest felt in the Studebaker Wagon
Works is national-more than national-for
their wheels have not only rolled from the
eastern TO the western ocean, from the lakes to
the Gulf, but these wagons are to be found all
over the world, even intthe remotest corners
where civilization has scarcely set her foot. The
capital employed in the business is enormous.
and the magnitude of the operations of these
wagon works place them beyond competition. 1t
is an industry of which Indiana is proud and
shows what Hoosier pluck combined with in
dustry and business sagacity can do,
The Barlow Rotary, on exhibition in Power
Hall, shown by R. H. Day, general agent, is at
tracing great, but deserved attention from the
thousands of progressive farmers who are at
tending the fair. The Rotary has the revolving
seed cup which shows the corn, five hills in
advance before depositing in the ground. This
is a distinctive feature in the Barlow Rotary
and farmers show their appreci alton OF the seed
cup by buying the only planter that has it or
can use 1t, and which makes it the only perfect
dropper IN existence. The Ba rlow last season
secured the largest number of sales ever made
by any one planter. Another admirable point
about the machine Is its automatic lever, which
locks the planter into any desired position.
Fletcher, Holt & Co., of indianapolis, exhibit
herds Of Polled Angus and Hereford CATTLE
which attract more attention from cattle men
than any exhibits at the fair. These are the
finest beef cattle known, the flesh, particularly
of the Polled Angus, being firm, compact and
finely grained. They are small-bOned, and take
on flesh rapidly. These cattle are new in this
State. or the Polled Angue, Fletcher Holt &
Co., have the only herd in central Indiana.
j. W. stillwelI & Co., of Troy, O.. have on exhi-
bition Twenty-Five mead of Holstein cattle-those
famous Dutch mixers and butter-maKers that
have the beef requisite also-representing a
herd of 400 head, $50 head being recent import
atoms OF yearling helfers all Holstens. This is
tile largest herd of Holsteins in the world none
even 10 Holland being as large AT the head Of
