WOMEN-ELEGANT FORESTRY
DISPLAY MADE BY U. S. DE-
PARTMENT.

The city business man will find as
much interest as the farmer in the
parment of Agriculture which will be
a feature of the Minnesota State Fair
at Hamline, Mimi, September 5 to II.
Not only will the men be interested,
but city and country wives, also will
find reason to pause before the ex-
hibits on foods and cooking. There
will also be exhibits regarding live
stock, forests, aviation and the weather,
and the dangers of careless camping
A place will be provided at the exhibit
where information and bulletins re-
garding the different subjects will be
available.
How to cook the shoulder, breast
and neck of lamb to make it taste just
as good as the better known cuts is
purpose of the exhibit Cooking Lamb
from Tip to Tail" With pictures pro-
jected upon a screen, all the visitor
has to do is to watch these savory
dishes in full color with formulas for
their preparation, as they appear and
disappear.
Dairymen will undoubtedly find a
lesson of value in the exhibit pas
lures Reduce Feeding Costs" Illus
trations show that pasture is one of
the cheapest of feeds and that while
it furnishes nearly one-third of the
feed for many herds, it only costs one
seventh of the entire feed bill.
The housewife will stop at an ex-
hibit entitled, Dairy Products for the
Family" This shows that the Jones
family believes in using plenty of milk.
The scene is the Jones family dining
room with the family about to sit
down at the table. The thoughts of
each member regarding milk and its
health giving qualities are made plain
to the observer by messages which ap-
pear and disappear mysteriously at
family.
Air travellers between New York and
Chicago will find that IL weather OBJ
servation stations are maintained
along that route to promote greater
safety and comfort in air travelling.
How this system works and is main
tanned by the Weather Bureau of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture and
the Department of Commerce and how
it obtains information and forwards it
to central stations there to reach air
fields and pilots, some in the air, is
Illustrated by models, diagrams and
mechanical action. An electrical storm
mentioned in one of the weather re-
ports is reproduced on a miniature
scale and every so often a flash of
lightning is seen towards the western
end of the line.
How livestock farming can be or
gained to make it profitable is Illus
trated in the exhibit Livestock Farm
Organization" This exhibit is based
upon the results of careful studies
made of farm layouts, equipment and
operations. In the center of this ex-
hibit is large scene showing the ac-
tual farm in question and on each
side are the facts and factors which
made this farm pay.
In the Grow Timber" exhibit. the
department has taken advantage of
the curiosity of most people. Visitors
are invited to look into what appears
to be giant telescope and see why
it pays to grow pines. The scene is
a forest OF fine large trees, of which
four are being sawed down with cross
cut saws. The men at the saws work
tlrelessly and in unison. This is be-
cause in reality, there is only one set
OF sawyers at work and the other
three sets are merely reflections of the
first one, produced by cleverly con-
cealed mirrors to gain the effect of
tour moving models at the expense of
only one. Some visitors will doubt
this because some of the woodmen
have red Shirts and some green and
thus could scarcely be reflections of
one model In the original model the
mems shirts are red in front and
green in back and the mirrors do the
rest. In the foreground one man Is
observed planting trees. This en-
phasizes the fact that forests are being
cut four times as fast as they are
being replanted so that eventually
timber will be valuable.
The rapidity with which a campfire
left burning may result in a forest
lire is shown in the exhibit, "The
