The agricultural exhibit al ehe es
-l1,s fair. it is believed, will be 81
s+,,d;ed with greater interest and oy p;
more people than will almost any otncr HI
of the great exposition. NIL [
lions are cngaged in raising or deailng b.
in AGRICULTURAL products, and every one a
;s consumer of them. Recognizing /
this the exposition management mas 81
,rov;ded accommodations and facilities
IT, This exhibit which dwarf such pro u
vision made at uny previous "o'40
fair.
Tho horticultural building, an impos-
inr and beautiful structure, sltnateo
across the main lagoon, southwara I
from the great manufacturers build
inr. is rapidly approaching completion'
onI will be finished even to all details
~ ornamentatlons, before October |.
r. measures 500 by 800 feet, and has an
annex 500 by 500 feet, and connected
assembly hall, which has seating ca
pacity Of 1909. Close by on the south
Is the dairy building. measuring loo oy
200 feet. - ;n
The northern portion OF the man
floor of the building will DC occupieu
by the agricultural and other 1000 eS'
hibits of foreign nations, which, 1t IS al
ready assured, will be extensive. Great
Britian, Germany, France, MEXICO
Austria. Denmark, Sweden, Japan,
Paraguay. Canada and number OF
other countries have already been as
signed space, ranging from one tnou-
sand to fifteen thousand square teee
each. It is expected that the agrlcul,
tural exhibits by these countries Will
be as comprehensive as those OF our
own country, and will show some
features which will be exceedingly IN
structive to Americans.
Occupying nearly all OF the remainder
~ the main floor will be the exhibit OF
cereals and other farm products from
the states of the union. Every state
and territory, it is expected, Will be
represented by it's products. Thus, upon
this one vast floor, covering nearly ten
acres, will be displayed in all their
variety and perfection the pick OF the
farm products of the world. 1t is be'
lieved that the exhibit made by this
country, naturally exceeding that OF
any other in extent, will attract grea'
attention, also, by reason Of its excep
formation that will accompany 1t.
This great exhibit, or rather array o
exhibits. will be made and@arranged Il
snch n systematic manner that the visit
or. almost at glance, can tell not onl.

On the six acres of flooring in the a
ncx. which is virtually an extension
that of the main building, Will
shown every description OF agrlcnltnl
machinery, including not only the D
and most improved now in use, but q
such as will illustrate the progress
the industry, from primitive times
the present.
One of the most novel, instruct
and elaborate exhibits, and one
will undoubtedly attract the attcnt
of every scientific person and schc
interested in any phase OF agrlcultr
life, will be that made bv the Asso
ton of American Agricultural Cole
and Experiment Stations. This
hibit will occupy nearly 5000 sqr
feet of space, and will be located in
southwest corner of the building,
the first floor. 1t will represent the
tire work of a model agricultural
detrimental station, covering emit
the field OF experiment and researe
crops, botany, horticulture, cntomol
feeding stuffs, animal nutrition, d
solids, milk testing and veterinary
ence. and will include an elaborate
complete botanical, biological
chemical laboratory.
In addition to this, the agricul'
colleges Of the United States will
