The Wisconsin exhibit at
the Illinois State fair, Octo-

surprise to the many thous-

There are many states re-
presented in the exhibits,
most of them expending many
times as much money on their
displays, yet it was a common
expression of visitors that in
quality the Wisconsin exhibit
was the finest on the grounds.

HUNTING ROCK HARES.

A Fleet Little Animal Found Among
the Sand Hills Of Arabia.
How long the Arab has inhabited the
deserts Of the near east is a much dis
cussed question. How long he has In
dulged in the old time sport or falconry
it is equally difficult to say. Sure it Is
that this keen FLOODED race has not
lived all these centuries In those sun
scorched wastes without some sort OF
recreation, and his delights today are
probably much the same as those OF
his ancestors q couple OF thousand
years ago.
Curious to see what natural sport
these barren regions could afford, the
writer accepted an invitation to join a
party of Syrian Arabs for weeks
hunting. Our quarry was the rock
hare, an animal about the size OF an
English rabbit, but with very fine de-
veloped ears, which frequents these
deserts in small numbers. living on
what scanty heritage it can find.
We started straight away in search
Of it by forming a chain about quar-
ter Of a mile long and drawing like
" tracts Of desert in long semicircular
sweeps. The heritage was very scant
indeed. These sand hills. being scorch-
ed by a tropical sun and having a
yearly rainfall of only some three
inches. support but few plants OF any
kind / noticed a few insectivorous
birds pursuing their prey with keen
voracity, as though they found it hard
to make living, but saw no trace OF
wild animals.
On we marched In silent order, mere
" following the lead of our falcon
bearer, whose face seemed invariable,
his manner unmoved. Hours passed
by. 1t was now II o'clock, The sun

parched lips l began to think that

a great bound, our horses instinctively

the little creature leaped, as it were
right out of his mouth.
One spring brought the greyhound
alongside again, but again this agile
quadruped had slipped out Of the
grasp Of his sharp teeth. The speed Of
the tiny thing was SO great and its
actions so sudden that IT was as much
as the eye could do to follow 1t al
all. Again its great pursuer sprane
upon it; again this nimbie ANNA

life breath from its frail body.
At last 1t fell an easy prey to Its re

end to its miseries. 1t was an inter
esting little beast, It's body about th'
size Of a rat 1t carried a fine Ions

rutabagas, field peas and bar
ley the Wisconsin exhibit
stood as in a class by itself.
Our sugar beets and tobacco
attracted much attention.
The corn-Wisconsin No. II
was displayed in the form
of star at the foot of the
grasses IN position that
made it's golden glow" most
noticeable. Many Illinois
people said this corn was as
good as they could grow in
their counties, and several
county exhibits testified to
the fact. The remark was
momentarily frequent that
1--WE cannot grow as fine pro-
ducts on our 5000 land. ;"
Why, then, should we not be
receiving many settlers for
uui. cutove lands from cen
trial Illinois where lands range
from S15O to $3.50 per acre?
Sim ply because we have not
sufficiently shown them what
our lands will produce.
Scores of visitors told the
writer that they had read his
articles in the papers and had
wanted to actually see our
products. In view of the fact
that hundreds of thousands of
people visit this fair, where
no charge is made for space
and where the fair manage
ment bestows every possible
courtesy upon exhibitors,
why should we not continue
to avail ourselves of this
splendid means of informing
the public of the opportunities
yet prevailing in our unoccu-
pied areas? No one was more
impressed with our exhibit
than the fair managers, who
visited us repeatedly.
The circumstances under
which this exhibit was pre-
pared deserves mention.
Near the close of the North
ern Wisconsin State fair it
was learned that space could
be had at the Illinois State
fair. The chairman and Sec
rotary of the State board of
immigration were there and
decided to take advantage of
the opportunity. Notices
were sent to the daily news
papers and the exhibit was
quickly forwarded. The ne
cessity of forwarding every
thing by express rather than
freight limited the size of the
exhibit. The fact that an ex-
hibit thus prepared was con-
lspicuous in it's superiority
over all others in the impor-
tant items of grasses, pota-
toes, barley, apples, squash,
rutabagas, garden beans,
peas, sugar beets, tobacco,
and ranked at least even in
many other products, sug-
gests what can be done in
carefully prepared exhibits
in future years.
No one who has not been
on the grounds at such points
as Springfield can appreciate
the misconception of the peo.-
PIE as to Wisconsin's climate
and products. Our corn

dent of horticultural products

Everybody seems to be asking, In
view OF present developments, what,
exactly, is Nicaragua. how large is 1t,
what are It's resources, commerce and
climate? Some interesting compari-
sons and facts. prepared by the Inter-
national Bureau of American Repub-
lies, will help to answer these perth
nent natural questions.
There is only four square miles diff
ference between the area of Nicaragua
and the State OF New York. Take
Connecticut out of New England, and
Nicaragua would cover the rest of it.
1t Is approximately half the size of the
State OF Washington. To be exact, 1t
covers 1920 square miles which is
larger than Holland, Belgium and Den.

tent of coast line on two oceans. On
the Caribbean, 1t reaches nearly 800
miles due north and south; on the Pa
cific, 1t extends 225 miles. It's greatest
width is 275 miles, or approximately
the distance from Washington to New
York Its least width is 125 miles, or
approximately the distance from Chi
cago to the Mississippi river.
It has the smallest population of any
Central American country, but is cor
rcspondingly capable of great material
development. There are only about
100000 people within its limits. or

America. If one wishes to go to Nj
caragua, he can take steamers on the
Atlantic side from New York, New Or
leans Or Mobile. Going by Pacific he
will take steamers from San Francisco
or from coast points of other coun-
tries. Perhaps the quickest way to
reach it today is either through Next
co by rail and by steamer from Salina
Cruz to Corinto. or by steamer from
New Orleans direct to Bluefields. The
latter journey generally takes about
four days. If, however. one lands on
the east coast, it is practically i'm
possible to go to the west coast on
account of the lack Of railroads and
other facilities. A common way to go
to the west coast is via Panama and
the Pacific side.
The total value Of the. foreign trade
of Nicaragua in 1908 amounted to
$7,500,000., Of which exports were
s4,500,000, and imports $4,000. 900. Nj
caragua bought from the United
States textiles, clothing, machinery,
etc, valued at $1,3oO,O0o. She sold to
the United States, bananas, coffee.
rubber, mahogany, cattle, hides, etc,
valued at s1,o5o,oOO.
