As the main object is the product of the milk, oné would éxpect an animal with all 'absence of béefyness, though carrying enough - flesh to show health 'and vigor. - The main points would be a strong constitution indicated by depth and "thickness through chest and houtders, a good sized middle i iving capatity for food, fairly wide at: etween hook bones, of fair length between hook and pin bones, quarters fairly thin to give no indication of beefyness, fair width Iettcen them to give room for large udder, and to show a wide escutch- * The udder should extend well up behind ard well forward, but 5 "pendilous nor with any undue fleshyness. - Teats should be of med- jum size, and squarely placed with no depression between the quarters which should be of equal size, Milk veins should be large and tortuous _ with large and numerous milk wells. These points; with a soft, mellow skin, to indicate health and vigor, and a mild active temperament would constitute a good dairy type of any breed as far as conformation is con- * cerned.

G. HUTCHESON, Manager. BAe & M Blackstock (DF. AAC i Mensger)s Brooklin, ~ Christmas Fair In spite of the very stormy day the Port Perry Christmas Fair was lirgely attended, and the exhibits were many 'in number and excellent in quality, The horse entries were well filled considering the day. . Each year our Christmas Fair grows better, and the peeple are well pleased regarding the prizes given : There was an abundance of soultry. butter and eggs. The large prizes in butter brought out a great showing. Local buy ers bought pretty much all that was offered. "The concert was splendid. It was worth a quarter to hear Ruthven McDonald sing *Bib- 1-t-y Bob." and all Lis selections were fine. Duncan Cowan kept the audi- ence busy applauding him. Wm. Moore and Marjorie Munroe are pleasing entertainers. The stormy weathar and bad roads made the audience small. The Secretary and the Honorary President had a busy day looking after the exhibits, The comittees did gozd work, and Mr. Hutcheson is to be congratulated upon securing such excellent talent for the concert.
