Worlds Fair Notes.
CHICAGO, May 20.-The agriculture
exhibit at the worlds fair, it is believed
will be studied with greater interest ant
by more people than will almost any
other division of the great exposition
Millions are engaged in raising or deal
ing In agricultural products, and every
one La consumer of them. Recognizing
this, the exposition management hai
provided accommodations and facilities
for this exhibit which dwarf such pro
vision made at any previous worlds
fair.
The Buildings.
The agricultural building, an impos.
ing Eand beautiful structure, situated
across the main lagoon, southwark from
the great manufactures building. Ii
rapidly approaching completion, and
will be finished even to all details of or
namentation, before Oct. 1. 1t meas
ures 500 by 800 feet, and has an annex
800 by $50 feet, and a connected assem-
bly, hall, which has q seating capacity OF
1900. Close by ON the south is the
dairy building, measuring 100 by 200
feet.
The northern portion of the main foo1
of the building will be occupied by the
agricultural and other food exhibits OF
foreign nations, which, it is already
assured, will be extensive.
Foreign Exhibits.
Groat pr;to;p Garuapv Rrauna Nav
leo, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Japan,
Paraguay, Canada, and a number of
other countries have already been as
signed space, ranging from 1000 to
1900 square feet each. 1t is expected
that the agricultural exhibits by these
countries will be MS comprehensive as
those of our own country, and will show
some features which will be exceedingly
instructive to Americans.
Occupying nearly all of the remainder
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 expect
ed, will be represented by its 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
believed that the exhibit made by this
country, naturally exceeding that of any
other In extent, will attract great atten-
ton, also, by reason of its exceptional
merit, and the comprehensive informa-
ton that will accompany it.
This great exhibit, or rather array Of
wAl Sbe made and arranged in
such systematic manner that the
visitor, almost at u glance, can tell not
only the appearance Of each object, but
what 1t is, whe9 it came from, and "all
about it." FSf under the regulations
adopted fer the department, Chief
Buchanan requires that each exhibit
shall be accompanied with the following
data: Name of object, name of pro-
ducer. where grown. character of soil,
date Of planting, quantity of seed plant
cd per acre, method OF cultivation, date
Of harvesting. yield per acre, weight,
price of product ut nearest market, aver
age temperature and rain or snow fall by
months between planting and harvest
ing, and whether or not irrigation was
employed.
The Annex.
On the six acres of flooring in the an
mex, which is virtually an extension of
that of the main building, will be shown
every description Of agricultural ma
chinery, including not only the best and
most improved now in use, but also such
as will illustrate the progress of the in
dustry, from primitive times to the
present.
Tho Galleries.
In the great galleries of the building,
which are most novel in construction
and perfect in point of availability, will
be located on the north front, the wool
exhibit; on the west end the apiary dis
play, which will include working
colonies of bees; on the south front the
dairy implements, and on the great CEN
trail sections the exhibit of the brewing
and tobacco industries, and the wealth
of magnificent exhibits of tlours, meals,
bread, pastry, sugars, confectionery,
canned foods, oils, soaps. chocolates, etc
The DAIRY Building.
Connected with the agricultural an
mex by short walk will DO the dairy
building in which will be shown dairy
products, and in which will be conduct
cd during the entire period of the expo
sition the dairy school, which has been
extensively described and has received
cordial endorsement from all sources.
Here will be conducted practical dairy
tests for determining the relative value
of different breeds of cattle as milk and
butter producers, and of methods of
feeding. The records and results of this
school, unquestionably, will be of last
ing benefit to the dairy interests of the
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 excel
lent feature of the exposition GER
tainty.
A Novel Feature.
One of the most novel. instructive and
elaborate exhibits, and one that will I'M
doubtedly attract the attention of every
scientific person and scholar interested
in any phase of agricultural life, will be
that made by the Association of Ameri-
can Agricultural Colleges and Expert
lnent Stations This exhibit will occupy
nearly 5000 square feet of space, and
will be located in the southwest corner
of the building, on the first floor. 1t
will represent tho entire work of amodel
agricultural experiment station, cover
ing entirely the field of experiment. and
research in crops, botany, horticulture,
entomology, feeding stuffs, animal nutri-
ton, dairy solids, milk testing and vet
Urinary science, and will include an
elaborate and complete botanical, BIO
logical and chemical laboratory.
In addition 10 this, the agricultural
colleges of the United States will have,
In this space, combined exhibit graph
scally illustrating the work and special
field coverc,. by each college, This en-
tire exhibit is not only unique, but is
something that has never been accom-
plished or even attempted ut any pre-
