The Agricultural Implements.

If anyone is interested in seeing the
things by which the man hath his labor
turned over to the beast. he will visit thu
great pavilion at the south of the en-
trance and see the displays of the various
dealers in agricultural implements. 1t is
Il place to go and rest, for here the
thoughts of days in the hay field with the
Scythe. the days among the rows of way :
ing corn with a hoe, and other pleasant
memories are overcome by the thoughts
of the days when one can merely Sit on
work that has heretofore been of manual
labor.
In speaking Of the implements perhaps
the Journal may be pardoned for calling
up a little converSatio with one of the
cattle exhibitors. He would not like his
name used. for he is one of the men who
are at work on a farmers movement for
the raise in the price of sweet corn from
IL cents pound to cents. the old price.
II am not 50 sure but that we are ge; !
ting equal TO cents now, he said to the
journal, as We conversed on the matter.
I'VE are getting equal 10 cents as com
pared with years ago when that price was
paid. In those DAYS. you know, about all
our work was by hand and we could han
die but a few acres. The man who plant .
ed 10 acres was considered as doing more
than he could well care for. Now the
manual labor has been placed to one side
and this machinery is brought forth. so
that a man can care for three times as
many acres with not nearly 50 much
work. The result is that We are planting
more and are receiving each year double
the money that we used to. ana there ~
the same clear profit. too"

Under the Grand Stand.

This is where the genealogical. floral
and dairy departments are to be found.
Together with these are some Of the
usual attractions that always find
their way in. a sort of a trade eX-
hibit can also be seen here. In point Of
interest it is about the same as last
year, there being practically the same
things as were seen. last year. But
you know there is a samenesS to all
shows anyway, ana ii is ever new to
the people who are Interested in tho
work.
First of all and the one thing that
will doubtless attract the attention of
the visitors the most. is the farmer
yard and house over where Fly Rod
had her Maine Sportsman exhibit.
last yea. It is ettcd up in a manner
that will make the eyes of the antique
furniture buyer turn green with envy.
1t would be we'll to have a policeman
stand here to keep the people from
walking away with the fittings. for it
is q temptation to anyone to see the
old things that are in so great de-
mand. 1t must have been great re-
search to have collected anything of
the sort. The space occupied. last
year, by the stuffed animals is now a
farm ward with the old weather beaten
cedar rail fence. The floor is covered
with a velvety turf. A rustic hen coop
occupies a space on the turn, while
few sheaves of wheat are to be seen.
Old fashioned farming tools lay about.
This is really the advertisement of the
Upper Crust" Flour Co, but it loses
none of it's attractiveneSS on this ac
count.
The cabin is an old fashioned home
and in it are Dutch ovens, the spin
ming wheel. the flax wheel. the old
fashioned rocker and all the equip
mems of the old fashioned house that
can be crowded into the 10X15 cabin.
Outside the door can be seen the traces
of yellow corn tied up with the husks.
The old family buck saw containing
more backaches than 10 miles OF
Cobbosseeconttee rowing, hangs from
a post on the front piazza. The frame
is home made and the saw is probably
rs years old. so the Journal is informed.
Don't fail to see the old cabin and
enjoy a few minutes of thinking what
histories the relics might tell in case
they chose to do SO. or could.

turers. always have large exhibit at

Poultry Exhibit.

The fowl part of the show is by NJ
means the foul one this year. 1t is a
bang up good one, that ought to make
the management feel well satisfied
with themselves for securing. 1t is a
source Of great pride to the genial Su-
perintendent f. f. Barry, who by the
way. is a resident of Machias.
The great Washington County Rail
road is partially responsible for the
success Of This department. said Nj

There are 40 or more pairs of poul-
try from that section Of the country
and they are good ones too as you can
see by examining them he added.
Mr.. Barry has a large number of
pigeons on exhibition, some of the
fancy varieties.
What is the predominating bird, in
this show" asked the Journal.
The barred Plymouth Rock is by far
the most numerous of all those of the
exhibit" he replied. In fact ] think
that if you will travel the country over
you vii. find that these birds are being
recognized for their true worth and are
fast taking the place of all the in
ferior breeds.
Next perhaps to them is the Wyan-
dotte of which we have a large num-
ber.' he added.
The entire exhibit comprises about
$50 pairs of the feathered tribe. in
Guiding everything from the little ban
tams. the regular hens. to the goose,
the Guinea hen. ducks. turkeys and
pigeons. Then in this same depart
ment is to be found an exhibit of rab-
bits that is away ahead of anything
that has ever been given.
But the exhibit of \. J. Remission of
Simpsons Corner is tie one that every
one wants to look at, if they want to
see variety and quantity. Mr.. Kennis-
ton informed the journal. that he had
81 varieties Of fowls with a total Of 80
pairs at the fair. II seems almost in
credible that he should have 50 many

The ladies will all be interested in
the display of fancy work that is to b.
seen in the Auditorium. 1t is pretty
and it is Hastily arranged. for you see
the ladies' have the work of arrange
meut in hand and this assures Il good
thing The Auditorium display is no
greater than on any other year. In
fact, it is doubtful if there is SO much
to the Auditorium display as hereto
fore There are some interesting
things there though, some very inter-
estinE ones.
A refreshment booth calls the thirsty
individual ere he is barely through the
door Then follows booth filled with
fancy rugs The Scranton Correspond
ence School has hired "a space for the
purpose of giving away advertising
matter. j. Waterman, the clothier,
has an exhibit.
Prof. Carl Drawn, the Bangor Nat
ural History teacher and student, who
has been studying for % years. has a
beautiful display of birds artStically
mounted. He also has case after case
IF the insects of the world. He makes
a special display of the Japanese silk
worm. This part is the display of the
American Silk and Gut Manufacturing
Co. the Bangor firm that is to re- s.
silk worms.
This industry seems to be a success,
for it has been tried by the company
and they are very enthusiastic over it.
Next spring we shall plant 500 white
oak trees said Prof. Drawn to the
Journal. II shall with the other
Workmen manage the farm and We
shall work with the 10000 silk worms
that our minister to Japan, A. p. Buck.
has secured for us through the gov RI
ment. We can get all the worms we
want. for we have shown the govern
ment that we can raise silk worms in
Maine. Please say that l invite ever
one to visit us and see the worms.
The professor is a most enthusiastic
gentleman and never tires of telling Of
the worms.
Next to this natural history exhibit IS
that of the Public Works Co The =
comes the booth of the Walk over
Shoe. The California diamonds and
other stones are sold near this stand.
The Bangor Electrical Clock Co. has a
large and attractive exhibit in the
center of the room.
The entire center space of the large
building is occupied by the cases of
fancy goods. a list of which we give
herewith. Along the eastern side OF
the hall are the booths of Vose's China
store. the Niavi CO.. the Traders Sup
ply Co. the Singer Sewing Machine
Co. Novelty Ring machines. the Ideal
Skirt supporter. musical instrument
display and beautiful display of hand
painted china owned by Mrs. J. NJ

The immense stage is as usual given
to the art features which are good
though not so large an exhibition a'
last year. Chief among the pictures
can be seen the dozen or more Of The
