MUSEUM AND ENTOMOLOGICAL DIVISIONS.

COLLECTION OF GRAINS, SEEDS, ETC., WITH SOME OF THEIR MANUFACTURES.

In this collection are shown between 800 and 900 specimens of the cereal products of the United States, selected expressly for the exhibition by agents of the Department, from nearly every State in the Union, and from various portions of the State. These are arranged in glass jars one foot in height, and so placed that a comparison can be made of well-known varieties from different States.

The 125 samples of Indian corn, or maize, are exhibited upon black tablets and arranged similarly to the jars of grain, so that ready comparison can be made, for example, between Northern and Southern grown corn.

To more fully complete the grain exhibit and to carry out the original plan of a strictly agricultural and economic museum, upwards of 100 samples of manufactured products of cereals are shown, illustrating processes of manufacture in great variety, including the fancy products, which are rapidly making their way to all well-supplied tables.
