Why should farmers visit the St. Louis Fair? Because the management of the Fair has been wise enough (for the first time in the history of expositions) to give the agricultural interests of the country the recognition they are entitled to. In what way? By devoting the largest building on the grounds to agriculture. An examination of the exhibits in this immense structure is as valuable as a post graduate course in farming. The Rock Island System is the line to take from St. Panl and Minneapolis to St. Louis. Best trains and best track. Exposition rates in effect daily, April 15 to November 30. Lines or at W. L.
