and elaborate exhibitsand one that will
undoubtedly attract the attention OF
every scientific person and scholar in
teresied in any phrase Of agricultural
life, VIII be that made by the Associa-
tion Of American Agricultural Colleges
and Experiment Stations. This exhib-
il will occupy nearly 5000 square feet
Ofspace, and will be located 10 the
southwest corner Of the building, on
the first floor. IL will represent the en-
tire work ofa noble Agriculture Ex-
pertinent Station, covering entirely the
field Of experiment and reach in crops,
botany, horticulture, entomology,
feeding stufis, animals nutrition, dairy
solids, milk testings and vertlnary Sci
ence, and will include an elaborate and
complete botanical, biological aud
chemical laboratory.
In addition tn this, the agricultural
colleges of the United States will have,
in this space, combined exhibit
graphically Illustrating the work and
special field covered by each college.
This entire exhibit is not only unique,
but is something that has never been
accomplished or attempted at any pre-
vious exposition. The exhibit will be
put up aud conducted by the directors
Of the different experiment stations
and representatives OF the different
agricultural colleges of the United
States, each contributing some parts OF
the exhibit, the whole to be installed
in magnificent manner, at the ex-
pense of the United States government.
This will give to every visitor an op-
p0rtunitv to witness the methods by
which the great advances in all phases
of agricultural life and research are
carried on in the colleges and ex-
perimect stations of the United States.
Outside ofthe building will be shown
several magnificent exhibits, put up at
great cost, of the irrigation systems of
the great West. On the lagoon Just
south of the annex to Agricultural
building will be installed traction and
a wonderfully interesting exhibit of
windmill machinery.
Connected with the Agricultural
Annex by a short walk will De the Dairy
| building, in which will be shown dairy
products, and in which will be c0ndnc-
ted during the entire period of the Ex-
position the Dairy School, which has
been extensively described, and has
received cordial endorsement from all
sources. Here will be conducted prac-
tical dairy tests for determining the
relative value ofdifferent breeds of cat
as milk and butter producers and
of methods of feeding. The records
and results of this school, unquestion-
ably, will be of lasting benefit to the
dairy interests ofthe United States and
of the world. In speaking of this, Mr..
Buchanan says that too much credit
can not be given to the dairy cattle
associations of the United states,
which by their generosity and public
spirit, have made this excellent feature
of the Exposition a certainty.
Connecting the Agricultural building
with the Machinery Hall is the artistic
structure known as the Assembly Hall
This will be devoted to discussions, by
various agricultural societies, national
organizations of farmers and live stock
associations, of questions of interest to
agrieulturists throughout this country
All visitors will be interested in the
Agricultural exhibit, but its chief value
will rest upon much broader and more
significant fact. The exhibit will afford
a vast amount of information to many
thousands to whom it will prove of in
calculable benefit. The crops best
adapted to different localities and the
reason therefor, the most improved
methods of cultivation that are being
pursued, the best results that have been
secured and the manner of their secur.
ing, and the perfection of products in
every llne-all these will be shown and
will constitute the more important les
sons which the Agricultural exhibit
will teach. Through the thousands
who learn these lessons are shure to
make practical utilization of them, the
agricultural industries will receive such
an economic readjustment and impetus
as will result in increased productive
ness and merit, and general benefit to
the entire country.
