OUR EXPOSITION LETTER.
No men should derive greater
efit from personal study of this ex
hibition , than the agricultural class
Probably as mucli as two-thirds ol
the machinery exhibit including im
plements , are directly devoted to the
various operations of the farm , say
ing nothing of the many useful helps
for the house-keeper and her work.
There are great blocks of space occu
pied wholly with plows , cultivators )
planters , reapers , threshers and farm
mills , shellers , grinders and feed pre-
parators , all more or less useful in the
multiform labors of the farm. There
is a recently patented potato planter ,
which takes the entire tuber , cuts it
into suitable si/es and plants eight
acres per day , dropping and covering
the seeds , without any other aid than
a horse and his driver , and its inven
tor claims that it will more than re
pay its cost in one season's saving of
time and labor , and of corn and wheat
machinery there is so much and such
variety as would seem to almost make
the labor of the husband-man a lux
ury instead of drudgery.
In the patent office exhibit , taken
in comparison with the more modern
devises exhibited outside , one can see
the wonderful strides that have been
made , not only in the improved farm ,
but in all other classes of machinery.
There is seen the original model of
the reaping machine , quaint and odd
in construction and appearance , but
which revolutionized wheat culture ,
and without which it would seem im
possible now to supply the world
with bread. Hero also the cotton
planter may see the model of the
original cotton gin , which led to the
developement of this great industry ,
and is believed by some people ,
curious in such speculations , to have
exercised no little influence in shap
ing political and social questions , af
fecting the country. This original
[ jin was patented by Eli Whitney ,
March l4th , 1794 , nearly a century
ago , and was the invention of his leis
ure hours while engaged as school
teacher in the South. Compared with
the many improvements now exhib
ited in gins of the present day , it is
much in the category as the old
wooden mould board of antiquity.
But , if there would have been no
Whitney , there would be no Pratt ,
with his rapid manipulator , as with
out a Robert Fulton with his slow ,
awkward boat , there would have been
no palace steamers , plowing river ,
lake and ocean. How little do the
busy rushing throng think of their
obligations to the patient ; anxious
pioneers of art and invention ! It is
of interest to note here , that a fire de
stroyed the patent office Dec. 26th ,
1886 , when 7,000 models were burned ,
another similar disaster Sep. 24th ,
1878 , destroyed 87,000 models on
which letters had been granted and
27,000 models of applications pend
ing. The total of models lost foots
up to 121,000 , and there are now in
: he office 148,500 models , occupying
a space of 03,508 superficial feet , a
striking evidence of the activity of
the American brain.
Two largo excursion parties from
Boston , have at different times been
icre. They left the Hub and pro
ceeded straight to St. Louis , where
they chartered one of the Anchor
Line's magnificent boats , came down
the father of waters to New Orleans ,
stayed one week and lived on their
boat. Few people appreciate the
fact that sucli a magnificent line of
steamers as the Anchor Line now ply
on the muddy Mississippi.
The states are vicing with each
other not only in the extent and mag
nificence of exhibit , but otherwise at
tracting public attention to their re
spective merits. Hon. Robt. AY. Fur-
nas , of Nebraska , commissioner for
liis state , not satisfied with making
one of the greatest exhibits on the
grounds , has called to his aid the
irt preservative , and in a handsome
little book portrays the vast resour
ces , advantages and promises of that
reat commonwealth. From his lit
tle book we learn that since its first
settlement in 1855 , the increase in
population , as compared with neigh
boring states is in the ratio of 310
per cent. ; she has a school fund val
ued at § 50,000,000 ; she has nearly
3,000 miles of railroad lines and near-
lv 5,000 miles of telegragh ; she raised
in 1884 , of corn 169,000,000 , and of
wheat 48,000,000 bushels ; and her
live stock are valued at over $78-
000,000 , and thousands of intelligent
and enterprising people are flocking
to and finding rich and cheap homes
among a genial and progressive people
ple , with all the social advantages of
our older communities.
It would not be fair to omit some
mention , in this connection of the ex-
