which the State is
famous, together with examples of the wares made from them.

In the Forestry, Fish, and Game Building, Wisconsin made a comprehensive
display of its commercially important woods. There were 14 kinds of
timber suitable for commercial purposes, together with the furnishings
of the display, which were also of Wisconsin wood. Of the woods the more
important were white and red and curly birch.

There were, in 4 large cases, lifelike specimens of the taxidermist's
art. Prominently displayed was the Wisconsin badger, and other cases
contained bear, deer, and porcupines in characteristic attitudes.

The live stock exhibits of the State were very successful, although
handicapped by a small appropriation.

The entries consisted of horses--Percherons, Clydesdales, hackneys, and
English coach animals. In cattle there were Guernseys, Shorthorns, and
Jerseys. In sheep, Shropshires, Bembouillets, and Cotswolds. In swine,
Tamworths, Berkshires, and Poland Chinas. Poultry, of all breeds, and
pigeons were also displayed.

By act of the seventh legislature of the State of Wyoming in 1903,
provision was made for the appointment by the governor of a commission
of seven members to secure a collection of the resources and products of
this State and to properly display and care for the same at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, at St. Louis in 1904, celebrating the one
hundredth anniversary of the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory from
the Government of France.

The same act appropriated $25,000 from the general revenues of the said
State of Wyoming, to be used in the purpose aforesaid.

In pursuance of such act of the Wyoming legislature, Governor DeForest
Richards appointed the following commission:

Clarence B. Richardson, commissioner in chief; Robert H. Homer, Bryant
B. Brooks, Willis George Emerson, George E. Pexton, Charles A. Badgette,
William C. Deming.

Whereas the law provided that the said commission should meet at the
State capital and organize within fifteen days of the date of
appointment, a meeting was held upon the 20th day of March, 1903. The
following were elected:

Robert H. Homer, president; Bryant B. Brooks, vice-president; William C.
Deming, secretary.

In pursuance of the instructions of the commission, the commissioner in
chief and the secretary proceeded to St. Louis about the middle of

Agricultural depart
