farm. The latter was arranged so as to
show the varieties of apples which have
proved best adapted to this cline.
Several booths were arranged in this
part of the building for advertising pur-
poses by commercial houses. In the
wing of the building, on the lower floor,
were school exhibits of drawings
manual training and domestic science
work, etc. This exhibit was unusually
large, showing that our schools are be-
coming interested in the fair.
On the same floor was the exhibit of
eggs, honey, cheese and butter. The
latter commodity was, as German
would say. "schlim," for some reason
or other. Only four Gre heries had
entries. These were rated according
to the following scoring:

Aside from the display of fruit by the
trial orchard, there was a large exhibit
of apples shown by farmers.
On the upper floor there was the
usual amount of needle work on ex-
hibition to the delight of those whom
you call "she' or ''her" In one corner
was a tastily arranged bed room,
screened with lace curtains, tapestry
and fancy designs of colored paper.
The furniture in this was from the
John Kiefer Furniture Co., but the
credit of design, ETC., is due to Mrs.
Duncan and lady assistants.
The "art gallery" as f. M. James
called it, because of its being devoted
to music, paintings and needle work,
was very tastefully arranged. On one
side the walls were covered with paint
ings, photographs, etc. On the other
side were booths occupied by the James
Music Co. and the Singer Mfg. Co. At
the end was display of flowers by G.
Lund which frightened up the appear
ance of this part of the building and
made il extremely handsome. Visitors
here were entertained with music from
the auxetophone of the above named
music house.
The stock barns were we'll filled.
The specimens OF horse flesh were more
numerous than ever and made fine
showing. Healy & Brown had eighteen
head and others had fine looking
animals on exhibition.
The display of cattle, too, was larger
than ever and shows that our farmer
friends are advancing along the line of
progress. Among the large exhibitors
we noted the following:

Yeksa Sunbeam, the worlds champion
Guernsey COW from the Helendale farm,
was quartered in one stall and excited
considerable curiosity. A considerable
number of grade Guernseys were shown,
showing that our farmers are mixing a
strain of good blood with their scrubs.
The sheep showing was not as large
$ usual, but the specimens shown were
unusually good. The types recognized
as best suited to the conditions in this
state were represented.
There was a good showing of pigs,
Berkshires, Poland China, Chester
Whites and Jersey Reds being repre-
sented.
The greatest improvement was, per-
haps, noted in the chicken coop. l.. s.
Tarell of Darlington, had about zoo
birds on exhibit and farmers brought
enough more to swell the total to at
least 500. Most every breed known To
fowl raisers was represented. There
were several species of ducks and geese
new to our peopia. In this building
were pair of Chinese golden pleas
ants, very beautiful birds, peacock,
guinea pigs, Belgian hares, q coolie
dog with litter of young, doves, par
rots, a mocking bird, etc.
In an enclosure on the grounds were
two full grown deer and two fawns,
also a number of raccoons, all belong
ing to the county asylum.
