THE FINE ART HALL
is a wilderness of articles of home manu-
factuTe, both for use and ornament, and
would require hours of time and columns
of space to describe. Here is where the
ladies congregate and feast their eyes on
the vast collections of art produced by their
own dainty fingers. Nearly everything in
the line of tools and machinery for use on
the farm is displayed in the machinery de-
partment. There are the steam threSherS,
| piOwS, binders, reaperS, mowers, wind
mills, StackerS and a hundred other inven
| ticnS to make farm work easier and more
rapid than in the old way. Much interest
is taken both by exhibitors and visitors in
each department. and all are gratifed at
the magnitude of the display as well as the
quality, and the apparent success that now
seems assured for the present fair.
