cessful Run.
LIST OF SAN DIEGO EXHIBITS

in Attendance-The Baby Show.
Award Committees.

The attendance at the Agricultural
Fair is steadily on the increase. Yester-
day there was q tolerably good number
b the building during the day, and in
he evening the aisles and the gallery |
we're thronged with people 30 that it was
ulow business getting around. 1t begins
10 be pretty we'll established fact that
the good work of the Directors in getting
together an unusually good number of
exhibits will be rewarded by the proper
appreciation Of the public.
The baby show comes of this evening.
There have already been nearly forty
entries, including FIVE pairs of twins.
The judges begin to see that they have
tackled pretty large contract.
The Committee on Awards we're hard
at work all day yesterday looking over
the various exhibits, and by. night had
!heir work just about completed. The
list will appear in tomorrow'e paper.
The statement has been made in pub
Lie that this Fair has not been we'll ad-
vertised. As q matter of fact. $500 was
spent in advertising in all the principal
newspapers of the three counties and on
posters. It has also been said that the
Directors are going to an unnecessary ex-
pense in tine hire of assistants; yet the
nay roll is much lower than ever before.
It would appear that the Directors are
entitled to considerable credit for the
successful and economical manner in
which the undertaking has been handled,
and ct any rate they deserve protection
from such unjust criticism.
The San Diego display has heretofore
been referred to rs one Of the most CON-

As the visitor passes in at the main
entrance Of the Fair perhaps the very
first display that will strike his eye is
that of the Los Angeles Farming and
Milling Company. 1t occupies very
conspicuous position directly in front of
the main entrance, and is one of the
most tastefully arranged exhibits in the
entire Fair, and it tells story of the
success of home industry which it is
we'll worth while to consider.
The display consists Of pyramid of
sacks of -four and meal running up to a
height of about twenty feet. 1t contains
about $50, and these are filed with the
two grades Of wheat -four map-r.factured
hy :he company, various xinds of rye
and Graham houz, corn meal, cracked
wheat and buckwhest. The top of the
pyramid ID surmounted with beautiful
sheaf Of wheat.
One very Interesting feature of the
exhibit is series Of glass cases
showing the transitions through which
the wheat passes in the process
Of changing it to the company's
patent roller xxx -four. The pure
wheat is shown in the first case, aud in
the next the result of the first breaking
between the rollers. Then follow the
second, third and fourth breakings, by
which time the middlings are ready to
be separated from the bran and shorts.
Samples are then shown of the four
grades Of middlngs, and lastly of the
pure white -four, the final result OF the
process. This little object lesson is Wis
tied and studied by great many people
every day.
The mills from which this elegant dis
play comes are situated on the corner Of
Commercial and Alameda streets. They
comprise just about block of buildings
running southwark clear to ReQuena
street. The Office OF the company is To-
Gated at No. 234 Commercial street.
There is one large new warehouse, which
was built about year ago, to accommo-
date the compaDy's increase of business.
The capacity Of this mill is 400 barrels
per day. 1t is supplied with $50 horse
power engine, with HazeltoH tripod
boilers. 1t uses petroleum for fuel.
About forty men are employed in the
mill the year round.
The unique feature of this milling
establishment is that it is run in con.
nection with an enormous ranch, one of
the largest and most famous in the San
Fernando valley. Last year there were
carried away from it 189, 800 bags of
wheat and % 500 bags of barley. From
