thirty miles in length of Cache valley.
This painting is for the purpose OF ex-
hibiting that which exists nowhere else
in the United States-a fully developed
farm village system. PhilanthropistS and
statesmen have advocated the system for
eundry reasons, and several attempts have
been made to establish it in other parts of
the Union. This painting thus repre-
senting a unique systym, will doubtless
be subject of study to people OF other
states. Associated with it is drawing
OF single farm village, wherein is dis
played the principle inaugurated by Brig
ham Young of turning the house 'front.'
of each block at an angle of 80 degrees to
the other blocks, that the privacy of the
farm village home might thus be in
creased. Near these pictures will hang
some nine or ten statistical maps, 2sx5
feet each, packed full of agricultural sta
tistics of the territory. and containing
the results OF the agricultural researches
at the experiment station.
/ A large relief map, 12x16 feet, made of
plaster, will show an irrigated valley of
J Utah. This map will have its reservoir,
dam, spillway, head-gates, irrigated
farm, orchard, garden, its artesian

carry running water over the ground in
| order to show to visitors the system OF
distribution of water. Near it will be
upwards of 100 photographs of farm

| its side will also hang two large paintings,
nearly life size, of an original irrigator,
Piute Indian, tracing by flowing water,

of an irrigation canal, and then 4 group

vertical position from one and q half to
four feet deep, will be shown in tail boxes
having glass fronts exactly as the soils
stand In nature. The exhibit will con-
| tain some OF the fertilizers of the terri

of magnesia, salt, plaster and lime.
| The several varieties Of farm crops will

taken at full length dplaced in punches
of three inches in diameter. The same
will be done with a great many varieties
| of grain. At the foot of the grain will be
bottles of selected grain, representing the
varieties, while in the large, tall glass
| jars Will be shown some of the best selec-
tions of wheat, rye, oats and barley. In
smaller bottles viii be shown the
tlesser crops, beans, peas and
/ garden seeds. Hay will be represented
by bale of timother, lucerne and wild
| hay. Perhaps some hundred or more
varieties OF our grain crops and grasses
viii be shown, while several of the varie-
ties of grains will be represented in larger
quantities.
Between 300 and 400 bottles of white
flint glass have been filled with our
horticultural products for the horticul-
tural department. These include many
of the varieties of small and large fruits
from the strawberry to the apple. 1t also
includes several of our vegetable crops
These have been preserved in liquid con-
tanning corrosive sublimate. Much ex-
perimenting has been done with the var
ious preservatives by many students of
the question in various parts of the
country. Fo material has yet been found
that preserves for q satisfactory length of
time the color of the fruits.
i This exhibit, collected at great deal
of trouble ana cost, while of much use
and, IN TACT, indispensable, will not per-
fectly represent the deep rich color of the
fruits OF Utah, but will give some of their
variety, style and size. For the above
reason there will be, during the coming
season, collection of the several fruits
by express and shown at the proper
season. The same is true of the dairy
collection. A few bottles only of butter
will be shown, that the fact may not be
overlooked that Utah can produce fine
butter. We shall depend upon collec-
lions next season to represent to the best
advantage the fine colored and favored
butter that the high quality of crops
grown in our climate produces.
, A limited number, perhaps forty or so,
, of our more beautiful and distinguishing
Towering plants Will be shown. Perhaps
thirty or more of our game birds, and
= those of attractive plumage, will also be
shown if Chief Buchanan consents to
permit them to be exhibited in the farm
section. We have felt that any product
OF our soil or air belongs to this exhibit
, In the agricultural section will be
shown the sugar beets, with a Statement
of the percentage of sugar found in them,
!, exhibited in beautiful glass jars. These
