"No more application for space ,oill
be accepted"
This does not refer to space in
State collective exhibits, so forward |
at once to Montpelier, to me, careful
ly marked, all packages intended for
shipment next week.
Exhibits come in slowly in some
lines. We shall have a good display
of the marbles, granite and slate put
up in the form of an arch at the en-
trance of Vermont space, also in the
house to be built. These articles will
appear in manufactured form, togeth-
er with various woods of the State.
A fair show of agricultural products
for the lateness of the season, and of
the forests, also of the birds and ami
mails, will be furnished. No minerals
or shells as yet are offered, nor any
views of our mountain scenery, pub
lie buildings and watering places,
which would add so much in giving a
picture of our State. We shall illus
trate the Flora of the State in we'll
filed Herbarium. Nothing in geology
is vet offered. We should have it
shown. A good show of apples will
be provided, and l hereby express my
sincere desire that the dairymen of
the State will make an extra effort to
show their products. Liberal premi-
ums are offered, and all products con-
signed to the commissioner will be
cared for by Mr.. Tinkham, the State
superintendent of the dairy exhibit,
entries made, accounts kept with each
exhibitor, goods disposed of and re-
turns made, giving each and all an
impartial show, and careful guar
dianship of their interests. l want at
least samples from 100 dairymen, and
if 200 offer they will be received. |
believe from we'll grounded data, that
100 new markets might be opered up
South for our dairy products, at good
prices. and when the demand comes,
sufficient facilities in transportation
will be provided. The dairymen of
Vermont do not realize this, but ask
them now, for once, to respond to
this and other appeals, launch out,
and like business men in other indus
tries, be aggressive and show your
goods.
The prospect is favorable for an ex-
hibit of our world wide famous sheep,
and their wool product. The super
intendent of this division, Mr.. John
A. Cross, of Kansas, is now in the
State, and expresses the strong de-
sire of the managers of the EXPOSE
ton, and also of the breeders of the
west and southwest, that Vermont
shall be present, in her pets, with the
golden hoof. Our sheep men are sa-
gacious and prudent, and know full
well what is for their interests, and
we hope and expect they will be at
New Orleans.
l am quite sure of small exhibit
In the swine department, and possibly
of cattle, but not sure. Every facili-
ty for comfort and convenience of
man and beast is promised by the
managers.
Bee culture will be represented in
all its phases, and maple sugar in the
product, but possibly not in the man
F ufacture, as this is not called for in
the schedule by the management.
Don't forget my old and new kitch-
en-, in which to show our ancient ard
modern home life. Send me some
, thing quickly, or shall not be erich
In the kitchen" while poor in the parlor'
Room vet VIII be granted for SAM
f Piles of manufactured products. We
desire to display, as far as possible,
the varied industries, and in each the
natural products of the State as we'll
, The educational exhibit will not be
large, but, for the short time given to
q educators, quite creditable. We had
, hoped to show section of school
! room, furnished with appliances and
. helps, but may not-be able,- though
h slate black-boards and pnecils will
be shown, both peculiar to Vermont
+ | still want Photographic views ano
I pictures, illustrating our scenery ano
public buildings, in short, anything
t and everything that will show to othel
/ people our State, our homes, and oul
modes of living. This will of course
). include all aesthetic culture, our idea:
| of taste, the ministry of the beautiful
with the useful and agreeable. W.
are busy and industrious people
Let us try to commend this quality t.
others in noiseless, yet unmistaka
BILE voice, in the products of brain ant
muscle, the fruits of our civilization
