perfectly natural Why only half
an hour ago a pipe manufacturer
came here and asked me 10 save the

pipes out ofit Its a cle2yer piece Of
work, and, incidentally, II helps b

She still hangS On b her mule indus
try, too she produced mules 20 the
value q s3o,Oo0,000 last year. Her
chickens are becoming famous all
over The country. The value Of the
poultry She prodnoed last year was
s3o. %, o00 Ia that year she also pro

Lad ore, 1860. 60 bushels Of wheat,
q, ,00g 90 bushels of oats and 5000
bales Of cotton. These and other
statistics about the state are given On
charts placed about the booth They
show al . glance whst the State Is do
ing in agriculture and other industries
Missouns booth Is q pretty blue
structure and the exhibits within it
are aTtistieslly arranged. In theeenter
Is . blue tower Of Octsg0nal shape a
feet high. II is topped by shock Of
grain, in which Is placed the pole of a
banner bearing the name and arms Of
Missouri This tanner Is higher than
any ether exhibit object in the build
ing, and can be seen from nearly all
the doors leading into the agricultural
building. In the lover part q the
tower grain Is shown behind panels Of
glass Arranged 10 glass eases and jars
@ step-like shelves beginning az the
fid0T and extending 20 a height Of 6
feet, are oatg wheat, over one hundred
varieties q sbeiled corn, many kinds
Of timothy SEED, beans and peas. Huge
csulliGOBers, muskmelons and carrots,
preserved In q liquid, are shown In
large bottles. On the counter forming
the northern boundary Of the booth
rests a squash weighing 81 pounds. II
Is said- too, that this Isn't much Of a
wonder in Missouri, but tnat squashes
often grow 10 that size there. However,
the enthusiastic superintendent Of the
exhibit J.E.Crumbaugh, Of Columbia,
No, admits that the average Missouri
squash Is a trife smaller.
Exhibits u cotton and wool are
shown, for Missouri does quite bust
ness in both. One case shows the diff
ferent stages Of wool, from the fleece
Of the sheep 70 the manufactured
cloth.
