The fair to a city man is an entertainment; to a farmer it is education. Let us take 'a n stroll through the fair ground* and a linger a moment at a few of the points a of greatest interest. We will first d visit the mechanical department, and |: hold communion with the world's greatest thinkers. * You are now attending a congress of the mental giants in mechanical science ol all ages. They are addressing E you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an tl eloquent story of the world's progress. 0 The inventive geniuses aro the most jj valuable farm hands we have and they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for c a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the path- ' way of civilization for future generations.
