studied with greater interest and by
more people than will almost any
other division Of the great exposition
Millions are engaged in raising or
dealing in agricultural products. and
every ono is consumer Of them.
Recognizing this the exposition man
agement has provided accommodations
and facilities for this exhibit which
dwarf such provision made at any
previous worlds far.
The agricultural building, an i'm
posing and beautiful structure sit
uated across the main lagoon. south
ward from the great manufactures
building, is rapidly approaching com
pletioh. 1t measures 500 l.y 500
feet and has an annex 800 by $50 feet.
and a connected assembly hail. which
has a seating capacity Of /, 800. Close
by on the south is the dairy building,
measuring 100 by 200 feet.
The northern portion of the main
floor of the building will be occupied
by the agricultural and other food ex-
hibits of foreign nations which, it is
already assured will be extensive
Great Britain. Germany, France, Mex
ico Austria. Denmark Sweden Japan.
Paraguay. Canada, and a number OF
other countries have been as
signed space ranging from 1000 to
l. 500. square feet each. Its expected
that the agricultural exhibits by these
countries will be as comprehensive as
those OF our own country. and will
show some features which will be ex.
ceedingly instructive to Americans.
Occupying nearly all of the re.
mainder of 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 ex-
pected. will be represented oy its pro-
ducts Thus, upon this vast floor,
covering nearly ten acres will be dis.
played in all their variety and perfec.
ton the pick of the farm products OF
the world. 1t is believed that the ex-
hibit made by this country. naturally
exceeding that of any other in extent
will attract great attention. also. by
reason of its exceptional merit and
the comprehensive information that
will accompany it ..[, ID
On the six acres of flooring in the
Annex, which is virtually an extern
sion of that of the main building. will
be shown every description of agri-
cultural machinery. including not
only the best and most improved now
in use. but also such as.will illustrate
the progress of the industry from
primitive times to the present ~
In the great galleries Of the build
ing. which are most novel in construc-
ton and perfect in point Of availabili-
ty. will be located on the north front
the wool exhibit on the west end the
apiary display. which will include
working colonies of bees; on the south
front the dairy implements, and on
the great central sections the exhibit
of the, brewing and tobacco industries,
and the wealth of magnificent exhib-
its Of flours. meals bread. pastry, SUI
gars, confectionery, canned foods
oils, soaps, chocolates etc. .'~
One of the most novel. instructive
and elaborate exhibits. and one that
will undoubtedly attract the attention
OF every scientific person and scholar
interested in any phase OF agricul-
tural life, will be that made by the
association of American Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations.
This exhibit will occupy nearly 8, 900
square feet of space and will be To-
Gated in the southwest corner of the
h,1i1 no
represent the work of model agri-
cultural experiment Station. covering
entirely the field of experiment and
research in crops. botany. horticulture,
entomology, feeding stufs, animal
nutrition, dairy solids milk testing
and veterinary science. and will in
clude an elaborate and complete
botanical, biological and chemical la
boratory.
In addition to this the agricultural
colleges Of the United States will have
in this space, a combined exhibit
graphically illustrating the work and
special field covered by each college.
This entire exhibit is not only unique
but it is something that has never
been accomplished or attempted at
any previous exposition. The en-
hibit will be put up and conducted by
the directors Of the different ex-
pertinent stations and representatives
of the different agricultural colleges
OF the United States each contribut-
ing some part OF the exhibit the
whole to be installed in magnificent
manner at the expense of the United
States government That will give
every visitor an opportunity to wit
ness the methods by which the great
advances in all phases OF agricultural
life and research are carried on in the
colleges and experiment stations of
the United States
Outside the building will be shown
several magnificent exhibits, put up
at great cost Of the irrigation system
Of the great West On the lagoon
just south Of the annex to the agri-
cultural building will be installed
traction and portable engines and a
wonderfully interesting exhibit Of
windmill machinery.

annex by short walk will be the
