The different types and their market characteristics were interest- Ing to me, since they gave me nearly L an ideal horse by which to judge oth- ers. By our instructor's valuable de- scription and demonstration of cattle I learned the distinguishing mark- ings, purpose and advantage of dif- ferent breeds. In the Dairy building 1 saw the products and labor saving devices in this business, which directly show the vast importance of Minnesots in this occupation. In the Swine buildings were speci- mens of every important breed, to- gether with the excellent explanation of the main points to be looked for in buying a hog and distingulshing features of the lard and bacon types, made this department very instruc- tive. The explanation and showing of definite important parts of fowls of & typlcal breed made our poultry divi- sion one from whioh much prmetical klowlodgg could be gained. Aslde from these departmests a large number of various kinds of sheep was on the ground for exhibi- tion. From these I learned to dis- criminate between types of different breeds The majority of the live stock in- terest was centered at the Horse and Cattle show, where enthusiastic crowds saw the judging. The signfl- cance of this fact means that a fair must be educational and instructive 2 1t is to exist through the coming years.

E e —————— but at present it has lost most of that significance and means the ex- hibition of agricultural and mechan- fcal products and live stock. Such is the meaning to visitors to the Min- nesota State Fair. I learned during my week's stay tbat there were two phases of this exposition, namely, the spectacular and educational. Perhaps “he gets the most out of it who seeks more of the Iatter, but we canmot blame one, tired of dally routine, for looking around and being out at the grand stand. I learned by conversation and sight {bat the educational ride consisted of - agrioultural exhibits, display of Uve stock and their products, and ex- hibition of mechanionl devices. The {deal aim of the state falr, as ATTA G sonsiaere J Je ko bave saviag devices and implements which make life more comfortable sile, to show thelr relation te Uve|,ny enjoyable will soon find thelr stock, so as to encourage better farm- places in our homes, and find that i“"" employment of sofentifio meth- the fair 1s a good place to advertise aad sell. I noticed the warm co-operadion of the people in various occupations which will help to advance our state and the value of this meeting will be shown in next year's exposition. The practical experiences and so- olal life are direct results of our 4 osmp. The close contact of peeple in difterent professions are essefitlal fac- tors in our development as citizens, and I found out the existing conditions in various sections of our state by oonversation with the camp boys. Now, in conclusion, I learned that theve are possibilities on the farm never before realived, and that the state fair has an. inspiring influence om agriculture which no other insti- tution could excel for the time being.
