In the other machinery halls are ex-
hibfted the various farming machines,
implements and utensils, from a self
binder down to a garden hoe. These
buildings are all crowded this year,
and many novelties are shown which
have just been put on the market
during the past twelve months.
In the buildings devoted to the dis
play OF Veh1cleS are carriages, pug
gies, phaetons, surveys and traps of
every description, delivery wagons,
milk wagons, ice wagons and drays-
everything that runs on wheels and is
drawn by horses. and there is even
one vehicle on the grounds which trav-
els along very nicely without horses,
an electric wagon.
There are several buildings main
tanned at the expense of the manufac-
turers of machinery, and in these are
elaborate exhibits of their wares All
the space this year is filed and it was
even necessary to put one or two of
the machinery displays under canvas;
by next year more room will be pro-
vided. The machinery display is one
of the most interesting features of the
fair-at least the crowd thought so
yesterday-and even more attention
will be given to this department in the
future.

year the entries were scarcely 1000
In order to accommodate the poultry
department the fair management
found it necessary this year to provide
more commodious quarters for the eX-
hibitors, as the hall originally erected
for this purpose has become entirely
too small. The old dining hall, for
merly known as the woman's building,
was set apart for the prize birds, but
even this extensive space, 100 feet
square, with large annex, has been
found insufficient, and part of the dis.
play is housed in an overflow tent
just outside of the main building. One
OF the chief causes of satisfaction with
the poultry exhibit arises from the
fact that very large per cent of the
birds in competition are Minnesota

lin, who has the management or the
poultry display, was busy among the
breeders with Judge G.. D. Holden, of
Owatonna. Mr.. Holden has acted as
judge of the poultry department for
the last six years, and his statement
that he has never passed upon larger
or finer lot Of birds than are exhibited
this year Is a genuine tribute to the
merit of the display.
Among the visitors the chicken show
is one of the main attractions.
Throughout the day the building is
thronged with SightSeerS who are 10th

: of the birds. There are SO many and
varied that the trip among the rows
of coops is constantly entertaining as
a particularly fine foul or new species
of bird is discovered at almost every
turn. With brilliant plumages of va
rious hues and bloodred combs, I'M

and the startled gobbles of Strutting

summoned fill the building to over
flowing.
Besides furnishing better quarters
for the chickens, the new building al
fords sight-seers much more comfort
in examining the birds, though once
inside the din is something painful.
Each of the feathered occupants seems
striving to Guido his neighbors as
though the volume of noise emitted
from each throat increased the dis
turbers' chances for the prizes. The
general verdict is that the hens make
the most noise, though the exultant
crow of defiant rooster in answer to
a challenge from some other part OF
the building, is undoubtedly shrlller.

ly that he came all the way from the
Indian territory to see the state fair
and meet with other old pioneers, but
be this as it may he submitted to the
nerve-trying ordeal with grace and his
usual sang froid. He only remarked
that he was becoming so accustomed
to war whoops that they were now
naught but sweetest music to his ears.
Next year tie pioneers will play a
more important part in the territorial
day festivities at the fair and plans
for it were discussed yesterday. They
will put in float, representing an IN
dian padding his canoe, and will have
an old-fashioned OK cart in line in the
parade. They even talk of resurrect-
ing an old four-horse stage coach and
have Col. Allen drive it. So far as
known there is only one of these
primitive stage coaches used in the
early days left. and that is in Mime
apolis; the others were destroyed by
fire or relegated to the scrap heap long
ago.

AMONG THE MACHINERY
Large Share of the Visitors Spend
the Day,

The center of attraction for the Wis
itors to the fair, and especially the
farmers, yesterday, was the machin-
cry exhibit, and they wendell their way
to that portion of the grounds where
the windmills were joyouSly gyrating
in the fresh breeze.
There are nearly half hundred Of
these cervantes giants, and they are of
such a wide variety of style and de-
sign, constructed of different materials
and utilized for such range of pur-
poses that each is an interesting study
by itself. There are windmills furnish
ing the motive power for feed grind
erS, turning grindstones, pumping
water, running circular saws, turning
cornshellers, transmitting power to
motors, and one is employed in the
driving of a well. Still another Of
them have no apparent utility other
than to enliven the scene by cheerful
squeak.
There are engines galore; engines
which will burn stray, coal, wood or
OIL and engines which operate by the
explosion of gasoline. There are en-
gines engaged in all sorts of occupa-
tions, but the principal interest Of the
crowd yesterday was in those known
as traction" which are run back and
forth and turned in circles on an open
plot OIL ground Dach Oh the machine
sheds.
The fence-making machines are very
much in evidence too, and one manu-
facturer Of wire fence has a novel ex-
hibit, an Enclosure, in which are con-
fined a buffalo and a deer.
Rock crushing machines, reducing
large blocks of granite or sandstone to
small fragments, prove their utility in
road making. Hay presses are seen at
work COMPRISING the hay into neat
and compact bales, and portable saws
saw and saw-buck in this rapid age.
Fodder and ensilage cutters are there,
threshing machines and stackers, and
even two corn husking machines-but
these are destined to be unpopular
among the young people; they would
