Agricultural Train Leaves.

Down at the Tennessee Central rail.
road station train of cars started on
it's 6,500-mile journey over the Volun-
teer State on a mission of education
and instruction to its people.
Those having the train In charge
will leave nothing undone to make the
tour a success. 1t will disseminate
useful information for the benefit of
all those who may care to learn. The
dates will be published often in the
county papers and by posters, so that
every one may be ready to take day
off and profit by visit to this great
agricultural exhibition.
The agricultural special will take the
place of county institutes in the coun-
ties it Is enabled to reach, and 1t is
expected to be more beneficial and eff
fective, because the train and it's ex-
hibits will be seen by much larger
number of people in the rural com.
munities than could possibly be got
ten to attend the institutes.
No effort has been spared by the
department of agriculture to fit out
the train so it will be an object lesson
to the farmers of the state in better
farming, live stock breeding, dairying,
etc., and to show to the farmers wives
and daughters the best that there is in
housekeeping and making the home at
tractive. Each car will be in charge
of trained lecturer, and an abun-
dance of literature touching on all the
subjects of interest to the farmer and
his family will be distributed free.
Farm bulletins, agricultural papers and
other literature will be given away at
every stop of the train.
A feature of the train is the arrange
ment whereby it will be brilliantly
lighted with electricity at all times.
Big electric signs will be placed over
many of the exhibits, and, in fact, the
whole train is fitted up in palatial
style.
