will be that of the United States. 1t will
consist of a large variety of the latest
agricultural implements and cattle, es-
pecially adapted to the Argentine Re-
public. The government of the United
States has announced that it will ex-
hibit large collection of maps, pic
lures, photographs and seed samples,
showing the progress made in the United
States in agriculture and in cattle raising.
Germany will participate in the agri-
cultural exposition, especially in the sec
ton for large mich cows From the no.
tees thus far received from Germany it
is seen that the German agriculturists
will exhibit some magnificent specimens
of the famous 'Sonnenthaf breed. The

schlands," the accredited German society
which has a practical monopoly of the
seed business of the fatherland, will ex-
hibit on large scale.
The railroads in Germany have dis
out the empire, advertising this exposi-
ton. There is not railroad station In
Germany, 1t Is reported here, that has
not an announcement of the exposition
posted its bulletin board.
England's participation In the exposi
ton promises to be quite as important
as the German. Many cattle will be
sent from England, among them some be-
longing to King Edward. and also speci-
mems of the Devonshire and Sussex cows,
breeds little known here. but said to be
especially adapted to the climatic and
other conditions Of this country. The
English government has taken such an
interest in these cattle that it will pay
a large part Of the expense OF sending
them here.

England will send works of investiga-
ton on all agricultural subjects and the
national board of education will have a
complete exhibit of it's methods Of in
creasing agricultural knowledge in
