McDougall, Brandon and Austin ex- hibited the handsome Clydesdale sireg Montrave Chief, and were awarded 1 first honors. Montrave Chief is a‘ beautiful dark brown in color. with white markings and is in all probab- ility the best representative Clydes- dale ever exhibited at this fair. In heavy draught teams Mr. B. Burtchaell showed his pair of prizeâ€" winning registered mares. Mr. John Fell also showed a good pair of hay geldings in this class. In the brood mare with foal by side Mr. B.

Mr. John Moore showed a good pair of bays sired by old Knight of St. Andrew‘s and The Thistle. In the brood mare contingent and one and two-yeur-old sections there were a number of highâ€"class entries, but as there is no benefit in giving breed- ing they are iel‘t to the tender mer- cies of the prize list. Mr. Jas. “Nichâ€" olIs shOWed a. grand Suffolk Punch filly.‘ It is in carriage'horses and road- sters that this again surpassed all previous fairs. No less than three fine entries were made in the entire A‘jA___ .__-.-. A“ Aflb" class. Mr. John Aldous was an easy !- Winner with Anteam by Antivola, a. i; son of the mighty Electioneer. Mr. 3: John Simpson came second with i Manager by Phil Rysdyk, John Ellis' handsome little black pacer Baron Rothchilds was just outside the honâ€" i or list.

Boyd’s! handsome chestnut sire, Pea Vine, was the first representative of the famous Kentucky saddle horse ever exhibited in this part of the county. Pea Vine under saddle with an im- mense plume in bridle, certainly lookâ€" ed the war horse, and ‘was greatly fancied by horsemen who understood his special breeding. With the Stockmen The exhibit of cattle was by long odds the best ever seen at this fair, in number and variety. In the old- time Shorthorns the Cullis Bros. of ‘Fenelon entered a capital lot of pure bred animals. Mr. B. Burtchaell also showed choice registered stock and high grades. Alex. J amieson showed a grand bull and his famous herd of grades. U- _-,,_, Mr. Thos. Hammill of Islay ShOW- ed nine head of pure-bred Ayrshircs. This, if not the first exhibit of this great breed at Fenelon fair, is cer- tainly the best, both in number of entries and quality of animals shown Then the great butter-making Jer-_ seys was away ahead of all previous years. Mr. S. Oliver showed his fine herd headed by the Industrial 1fair prize Winner of 1900. While the showing in swine was not so numerous as in former years the quality of the entries would be hard to excell. Mr. B. Burtchaell showed a. rare good lot of Berkshires Mr. N. Day 8: Son showed the best lot of Yorkshires that ever went through his pens. Mr, John Moore 'ing of equines was 1n ts ahead of former years. '3' draught class Messrs.

Lamb carried off the honâ€" I more in the Leicester division with i la number of nice clean sheep. l ' The display of poultry while hard-'1. 1y up to the average was good. Most ‘4 varieties were represented by choicc' birds showing the marked improveâ€" ment in this line. The entries of turkeys, geese and ducks were as good as could be seen at any fair.

Not only did the lad ies fail to respond to the call for lentries, but the same state of things prevailed in garden truck. roots, etc. 1 'At the same time the ladies who‘ lmanifested their interest in the fail" iofiered a nice collection of dainty arâ€" gticles which would attract. attention ‘in much larger exhibits. a The dairy display was small but ithere were several packages of very ‘ choice dairy butter that bothered the. ‘sjudges not a. little to determine just. 1 ‘ i‘where the tickets should be placed... .iSeveral nice flakey loaves of home- ?

Ist. and 8th ‘ - 1\A_ The superior staying powers ot the Holsteins are now becoming manifest and for the week ending October lst, they stand first on the list in the butter profit test, ‘beating the Jerseys by ten cents and the Guernseys by forty-seven cents. However, Mary Marshall of the Guernseys, «still re- tains her lead as best cow in the barn, but her companion, Cassiopeia, whn has been for a good deal of the they stand first on the 1151; m the, butter profit test, ‘beating 'the Jerseys * by ten cents and the Guernseys by forty-seven cents. However, Mary! Marshall of the Guernsey's, _still re-l tains her lead as best cow in the; burn, but her companion, Cassiopeia, , who has been for a good deal of the time her closest rival has been off? her feed and drops thirty-six centsI behind her for the week. An unusual ‘ record has been made during the past i week by the Polled Jersey Ora. She i has been unable to properly digest? ‘her feed, presumably the ensilagefi, land has been sick and feverish. At“: one milking,r she gave 8 lbs. milkfi 2.50 per cent. fat; the following? Emilking, 5 lbs., 6.40 per cent. fat ; the third milking, 1.6 lbs., 16.20 per cent. fat. This is by far the high- est butter fat test yet made by any of the cows. The standing of the herds for the week is as follows ’ ‘Holsteins, 7.56; Jerseys, 7.46; Guerâ€" nseys, 7.09; Ayrshires, 6.84; Red Polled, 5.92: Shorthorns, 5.82 ; Brown Swiss, 5.81 ; French Canadian 15.44; Polled Jerseys, 5.24; Dutch Belted, 4.07. i l l Canadians May Win 1 ; For the week ending October 8th! some notable changes have taken I place. The Holstein herd made 3“, gain over last week as they are ‘ keeping up their flow of milk exceedâ€" i ingly well, but the Jerseys also made i a decided spurt and tied the blacks? and whites for first place. The Ayrâ€" shires are back again to third place, ; with the Guernseys fourth. Next are the Frenchâ€"Canadians and the Short-g horns which are both doing goodi work and may yet succeed in passing f the Guernseys before the close of the i test. In such a case, all five of the Canadian herds would be ahead of the five American herds. The Guernâ€" seys obtained such a long lead in the ! early part of the test that they will I l i l l l Idoubtless be able to win first prize; in the butter profit test, but as one cow is now quite out of the race, they would probably be overtaken by some of the other breeds if the test were continued for a few weeks lonâ€" ger. The Brown Swiss cow, Hope of Minnesota. has been very sick dur- ing the week and it was feared that she would not recover, but she is now much better. Her case is the first in the history of the dairy that it. has been necessary to resort to medicine, which goes to show that the cows have been both carefully and skilfully fed and handled. For this week Beauty of Norval of the Holstein herd is the best cow beat- ing Marshall by five cents. Below is the net profit of each herd for the week ending October 8th: Jerseys, 7.53; Holsteins 7.53; Ayrshires 6.97; Guernseys, 6.66; French Canadians, 6.38; Shorthorns, 5.95; Brown Swisg 5.85; Red Polled, 5.63; Polled Jer- .seys, 4.93; Dutch Belted, 3.95. A farm lad wanted to escape the Drudgery so he went up to the City, and after he had been there for 15 Years he had a nice position. He stood on his feet from eight t9) six every day cracking up dress goods, and after he had paid his Board and Room Rent there was nothing left of his Salary except the Crust. After many years he went back to visit his brother who had remained upon the farm. He found Jed in a Hammock reading 3. Crop Report. “Why are you not working 2’” ask- I ed the Commercial Brother. . “What is there to do?” asked Jed. ‘ “The Wind-mill is pumping water for i the Stock, grinding up the Chop Feed and working the Churn. I fin- ished my fall plowing yesterday. “Plowing is hard Work, ” said the City Salesman sympathetically. “Oh, I dont know, replied Jed. “I use a Riding Plow with a White Umâ€" brella over me and a Cushion on the Seat. You may not know it, but the Farmer is getting too Strong to Work. You can’t make him use a Walking Plow any more. He plants his Corn with a Check-Row Machine, lifts his hay with a. Patent Fork, cuts his grain with a Self-Binder that has Bundle Carriers attached, and then puts it through :1 Steam thresher that cuts the bands, does the feeding, measures the Grain, and dumps it in the Wagon and 'stacks the straw. I suppose about next year they’ll have some (ladkingm Attachment that will go up to the bank and cash the grain tickets. “The lowly agriculturist now has Telephone and daily rural Delivery, and a.
