SPECIAL MERITS OP EXHIBITS. 



199 



The love for pictures is a part of the nature of every one, and those capable of 

 making them have always been held in the highest esteem in all ages of the world's 

 history, so that a field for distinction is here open to every one, and judging by the 

 specimens on exhibition not a few of those making these works of art, may attain 

 an enviable distinction at no distant day. 



Purdue University, at Lafayette, Indiana, made a very creditable exhibition, 

 and, as the Agricultural College of the State, was appropriately represented by the 

 work of the students, in shop productions and industrial designs, which attracted 

 much attention. The management should be proud of the high rank this Institu- 

 tion has attained, and the ajrricultural community can not too highly appreciate 

 the great advantages there offered to so educate and assist the farmer in reducing 

 agriculture to a science.
