No new harness or vehicles are allowal; the turnout must have been used up to the date of the show,--Whit Monday. '1 he prizes are given for the best work- ing condition the object being to on- courage Carters to take good care oi their animals and It pride in their ap- pearance. This is one of the most commendable of the speeifie shows. There are mam: local poultry shows and village showa or varying impir- tanee; at some of these prizes are given to the school children for the best eul- lcctions of named grasses, weeds, &c. This also is found to be a Very satis- factory aid to education. . --_ _-..,.. ....N.%.'. i There are 4 classes of Agricultural 1 shows in Great, Britain t---(I) The large ‘shows devoted to breeding' types and (iii,iii,iiii,;,i'tirt', these are open to the ‘Kingdom. (2) Local shows; for the bench: oftenant farmers and breeders in the neighborhood; there may be certain Open competitions in these shows and the addition of sections for 'hortieaiuue, apieultmx, sports, &e., jis optional. (3) Fat Stock Shows for the encouragement of high class butch- er's meat. The chief ones are held at Birmingham, Leeds and Norwich; the finals so to speak, where the winners in the three tormer compete take place atthegreatb'mithfield show. (4)Spee- Me Shows; these are held for the bene- fit ot'one or more particular branches ot'Agriculture. such as dairying. fruits, poultrv. horses tke. A good type ot this class of show is that held at the Agricultural Hall, London. during three consecutive weeks for special breeds ot horses astollows: -ist. week Shires. 2nd. week, Hackneys, 3rd. Week. thoroughbred hunters and polo ponies. One of the best at these spec- Me shows is that held at Ashbourne, Derbyshire, a great Shire horse center, (owing to local conditions, fine grass. climate &e. ); here they have three main divisions of the show: one for general classes, (2) foals bred by tem ant farmers, (3) tonls from stallions be- longing to local breeders. Private land omwrs also sometime hold shows for the encouragement of agriculture among their tenant fur- mors, under local farmers. Chiet among these is the show held by the Duke of Portland, known as the " Walbeck Tenant Farmers'Show ". The Secretary of the Pun al Agri- cultural Society states the year 1790 saw the beginning of Agricultural shows in Great Britain. Particular enquiries about the stan- dards adopted injudging stock at these shows tailed to elicit " (lemme stat- ment on this point. In fact we ottieials themselves were no: any too clear as to what is or ought to be the standard. us, in other words the Show took place under stories of long tents. Tho ad- vantage of this svstem is that the frame- work can be taken down, and the tents shipped from point to point, and used mony times In the season. This ar- rangement also makes it possible to use grounds for an exhibition Which are required daring the rest " the your for other purposes. The tents are arranged in n compact and systematic order, in such a way that visitors can go in one direction and return in another seeing always new exhibits. The classes are arrang- ednip blocks, not in long lines. A private letter from Mr. W. A. MecKinnon, Chiei of the Fruit Division. Dominion Dept. of Agriculture. who is now in Great Britain. contains some interesting notceon the development ot agricultural Shows in that comm-v. Some of his criticisms given herewith are well worthy of notice by those in. terested in Agricultural Education in Canada. " One striking feature of the recent Royal Show at Carlisle. Eng. Was that all but two or three of the buildings 1'tre,tbimply frames covered with can- They appear to have fallen into the easy error ot looking on the prize it- selfas being the end and goal ot the exhibitor 's ambition. On pressing the matter somewhat closely, certain oth'. cials admitted that too little attention was paid, to either the educational value of the show or the cash result to the tarmers at large. In the catalogues and prize lists Judges are warned not to be iniiueneed by the market v.alae of stock in mak- VJ ..-9r. .._"""" - ing their award_s, aryl a high ottieial stated that in .h,is, opinion too little at- tention Wogpald to tho economic value of the exhibits, and that farmers are sometimes misled by awards so as to produce .an article which is not re- muneratwe. With regard to the Smithfield Show they have begun to make improve- ments in the direction of market de- mands; that is to be expected asthe objeet ot the show is to encourage the production ot bateherh mert. For. merly prizes were given tor animals tour years old, but lately this has been cut down to three and under, and no : prizes are given for cows. The result l is that they get fewer of the " tallow tt l. animals whieh used to be seen there : yet they still give awards in some l _ cases to animals which would not be sought for by a butcher. The Smithfield Judges are breeders, and the lessons learned by farmers from the judgement have to be picked up without the benefit of any explana- tion ot the reasons from the Judges. Farmers are supposed to learn from the show that certain tyre of animals can be made to put on esh at a oer. t AGRICULTURAL SHOW IN BRITAIN. For the month of October alone the showing is also most favorable. The revenue keeps on growing, bat the outlay is comparatively less than it was a couple of years ago. The com- pletion of the canal improvements is responsible for these to some extent. Other large expenditures the present government undertook are also com- plete, so that If the receipts continue to thrive there will doubtless be this your the best net surplus on record. ., Farmers In this part have taken ad- vantage of the past few fine days and have gathered in a fine crop ofroots. Joe and Chas. Boyle took 44 loads of turnips off 2 acres Alter pounding away for a few weeks Will Barekley has struck a good spriug away down over 80 feet onthe Geo. Lamb farm. Guess he ain'tyorry. Mr Thos Townsend, of Iowa, .L' s., spent a few days with his daughters Mrs T Jack and Mrs T Dunn and called on a few of his old neighbors. He has disposed of his farm to Mr J Young. And now comes this despatch from Ottawa which tells its own story: "The public accounts ot the Dominion lor the four. months of the current year to the end ofOctober show a net im. provement in our finaneeg over last year of something more than four millions ot dollars. This is taking both ordinary and capital expenditure into account. For the four months the balance of revenue over the ordinary expenditure is nine and a half million dollars, or taking the capital outlay intoaeeount, " and a half million dollars. About 12 o'elock Thursday night,' Oct. 30, Mr and Mrs It E English and tarnily were awakened to tind their house in tiames. Their son Carter, who slept in a room off the kitchen wakened to tind his bed on fire and just got part of his clothes. The fire had started from a stove in the wood shed and had gained such headway as to shut them off from the kitchen and cellar where a great lot of butter, potatoes, fruit and 100 gems of pre- seryes were stored. They got most of their effects out ofthe main part ot the house so that their loss is heavy, artly covered by insurance. Mr and firs E. in 28 years of hard work had gather- ed into their home everything that a family could wish for. Mr E has 'started to build again and no doubt his many friends will lend a helping I hand. ' Educational meetings are all hm unknown. AICarlisle there were de- monsmntions of dairying processes. but no word of explanation deemed lobe given. Guelph leads them all for active energetic, inuslligent,eduetstion, for in Britain the farmer seems to be considered highlv honored in being allowed to exhibit, and they let him pick up some crumbs of intormntion if he can. " test, Heifers must his itiiiaritiiiG take a prize, this being a meat show, can! not a general or agricultural s ow. Last week we noted briefly the re- markable fact that the Post Office Department for the first time in its hits. tory had been ran without a deficit, and that there was a surplus of 85000 on the, year's operrtions. Leaving out the Yukon and Allin districts, there has been an inerease of 844 otiices and an increased mileage ot over 4,000,UJO miles. Increases have taken place in Savings Bank and Money Order de- partments, and rll around there seems evidence of national prosperity which has certainly been aided by the good business management oi Sir Wm.
