PROSPECTUS AND APPEAL

The board of managers of the Min
nesota State Agricultural society take
pleasure in announcing that the
great annual fair and festival of the
farmers and producers of Minnesota
and the Northwest generally will take
place upon the gounds of the society
between the Twin Cities, beginning
on Monday, Sept. 9, 1895, and closing
on Saturday, the 14th, thus embrac-
ing one full week.
The great utility of these yearly
conversations, to producers and con-
sumers alike, is too well understood
and too generally admitted to re-
quire explanation or argument. AS
object lessons upon the vast and
varied resources of the common
wealth of Minnesota, as well as upon
the ingenuity, enterprise and public
spirit of its people, they are of in
calculable value, not only to our
own community, but to the thousands
of visitors who come from abroad
to study the material wealth and
progress of the state as an induce
ment to seek homes upon its prolific
and congenial soil, or remunerative
employment in its forests and mines
With an accumulated experience
of nearly
FORTY YEARS OF EFFORT
since the organization of the society
with the marvellous development
that has taken place along all lines
of material growth, including agri-
culture, manufacturing, forestry
products, rapid and cheap transit
the board of managers confidently
believe that the exposition of the
present year will exceed in magni-
tude, variety and interest any of its
predecessors. The board, therefore,
beSpeak and count upon the hearty
and earnest cooperation and active
efforts of farmers, manufacturers,
merchants and county societies and
public spirited citizens of every class
and occupation.
TIE discovery and opening of the
vast mineral deposits in the north
eastern section Of the state within a
recent period have been of a charac-
ter to astOnish the Industrial world.
Special efforts will be made TO so dis
play these ores as to challenge the
attention of visitors to the fair as
on no former occasion.
The exhibition of live stock will
possess more than usual interest. and
there will be rare opportunity for
inspecting and comparing the diff
ferent types of all the domestic ami
mails.
THE SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
that have proved so gratifying at pre-
VlouS fairs, such as the Farmers In
sututes, will be continued and given
the prominence which their import
ance deserves
The beard further INDUCES the hope
that more attention will be given to
the Importance of county exhibits, in
order to individualize and give special
prominence to the products of the
different localities. In this way each
county can present to the visitors the
resources and attractions that belong
to it in a form at once imposing and
impressive. In addition to the fore
going special attractions the board
takes pleasure in giving notice that
there will be held in Institute hall,
during the fair, a congress of the edi-
tors of all the agricultural papers and
kindred publications throughout the
United States. Arrangements, through
correspondence and otherwise, are Sc
far advanced as to render it certain
that this unique feature of our State
Fair will prove a success.
1t may not be inappropriate to re-
mind the people of Minnesota that the
State Agricultural Society and it's an
nual exhibitions are interests that be-
long to them and them alone. If these
agencies are to. be truly successful
and accomplish IN the highest degree
their objects and purposes, it must
depend largely upon the earnest sup
port and hearty cooperation of the
people; especially of that numerous
and influential class recognized as
producers.
