the interest of bis company, F. B. Fargo
& Co., Is in attendance here and Incl
dent)y acting as correspondent for
the st. Paul Dispatch. He says that the
fair compares very favorabIy with those
he has attended; the number of entries
IN each class being noticeable. One fair
which he attended there we're but five
animals entered in the live stock depart
ment and each, although of the same
variety, took lst premium.
The entries for the fair show greater
degree OF interest and general prosperity
IN this state than in other states where
fairs are indicative Of farming success.
In Minnesota the state fair was not
nearly equal in entries and interest to
past events, and in South Dakota the
Aberdeen fair was disappointment in
the entries. This may be owing to crop
failure in that state.

Agricultural college arrived today and
will interest himself generally IN the
fair and in bringing the work of the tine
Institution, over which he has charge,

others. Colonel Power says that no
school IN the northwest offers such ex-
ceptlonally fine advantages in scientific
and special instruction. also in literary

the state should be frequently informed
OF the fact. The work undertaken at the
fair by the college, says Mr.. Power, is
