mention fully the nature of their eN-
hibit, how many, and what kind of dis
play, SO that these cards may be prop
eerly prepared. Much delay will be
saved In awarding the premiums this
year. by allowing the Judge clerk.
There is always a curiosity to see
which exhibit takes prize by the pub
lie and the exhibitor alike, and this
clerk allowance will insure the awards
being made much more rapidly than
ever before. Another advantage gained
by an early disposition of the awards.
will be to allow exhibitors time to see
some of the other attractions of the
fair, something they have been unable
to do hitherto.
New exhibitors are earnestly invited
to bring in their products. There is
plenty of space for all who may come
and they are assured of warm well
come.
AS corn is the leading product of
Iowa it will be prominent in the great
display and $425 in cash premiums are
offered on this product alone. Those
interested in corn growing cannot af-
ford to miss seeing the great corn eN-
hibit, sure to be made in agricultural
hall this year.
IOWA MANUFACTURES.
o. L. f. Browne, Superintendent, P.
O. address, Des Moines, Iowa.
We forget that Iowa ought to be Il
manufacturing state. We have been
wont to look to the east for factory
made products. Our fine farm pro-
ducts now GO OUT to pay for the man
ufactured products that COME IN. So
our home factories have "hard sled
din. We swap products with the
distant manufacturer. Why not make
for ourselves and so keep both products
at home? Why not swap products with
our neighbor and so make every one
prosperous?
If Iowa made all that Iowa needs, we
would have both the money and the
goods and Iowa farms would be worth
$100 per acre.
If what we buy, as we'll as what we
SELL were produced in Iowa, your bust
ness would always be better.
How do eastern factory men get Iowa
trade? By going for it hard. Do Iowa
manufacturers go hard for it? No?
Your eastern man is at the state fair.
Are you? He makes an attractive ex-
hibit to all the thousands, and hun
dreds of thousands that visit this great
fair. Do you? This exhibition gets
him the trade that you might have. Do
you like it? No? What then?
Your competitor comes sometimes
from far New England. nearly 2,0oo
miles to the fair and makes it pay. Will
it not pay you to go a small fraction Of
that distance to show your wares to the
same great crowds? Is there any bet
ter way or chance of advertising?
There is that scattereth yet in
creaseth: There is that withholdeth
more than is meet and it tendeth TO
poverty"
Arise then and for ten long days
show your products to all Iowa at the
fair
The state fair authorities have at last
come to see that Iowa manufacturers
are as deserving of attention as are
Iowa agriculturists. A recently estab-
lished department of strictly Iowa
manufactures affords reasonable rec
ognition and Iowa factorymen are earn
estly urged to examine the premium
lists in their own behalf.
The superintendent of this division
will do his best to make everything
easy for the Iowa exhibitor and as prof
liable to him as possible.
Note the premium list. If you do not
get one write to the superintendent of
division H, o. L. F. Browne. Des

This year cows will be MIXED by ma

out of the milk by a machine, another
machine will churn and work the but

the modern creameryman may '"cut no

to any required point.
The butter room in the dairy hall is
a capacious room entirely enclosed
with glass. Visitors can see the inside

They will also see in the midst Of dairy

buttermaker the complete master OF

he makes cold" the same as he makes
heat. by burning little coal.
The producer of milk has a still
greater boon in the mixer. With
out milk, there can be no creamery.
and the task of milking by hand now
that all the other operations are per
formed by machinery, is an onerous
one The farmer with his improved
machinery can put up more hay, grow
more corn and oats. and feed more
cows than he can milk Milking is the
only thing that is still done as it was a
thousands years ago. This year, at the
Iowa State Fair, will be shown cow
mixers in successful operation. 1t
will be demonstrated that an entire
herd of cows can be MIXED simultane-
ously by moving one lever ma
