, j What is said to have been the first Bulgarian Agricultural Exhibition was recently held at Philippopolis. It seems that live stock was only poorly represented, no doubt owing to transport difficulties, and to the fact 6>at tne exhibition was opened ar harvest time, when the services of horses, oxen, and buffaloes were required at home. The Model Farm at Sadovo was to the fore with the stud animals kept there for the improvement of ' the breeds of horses and cattle in the surrounding districts. No striking re--salts have yet been obtained, and the owners of cows and mares who live at any 'distance from the farm appear to think the journey thither too an exertion. The same institution showed some fine pigs of British breeds, which were a great contrast to the grunt, long-legged animals generally met with in Bulgaria. The above, with a few horses, or rather, ponies, and cattle from Plevna, and » small quantity of poultry, practically constituted the whole iof the • exhibition,f though ' the live stock of 'Bulgaria is' by no means an unimportant actor in the agriculture of the country.
