MANAWATU SHOW

SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION AT PALMERSTON NORTH

CLOSE COMPETITION IN CATTLE SECTIONS

HIGH-GRADE ANIMALS SHOWN

The morning- opened with a steady drizzle, which cleared up at interals, so that there was hardly enough rain to inconvenience anyone.

There was a fair attendance during the morning, and after lunch it increased considerably. The judges had considerable difficulty in some of the cattle'sections, especially the milking classes. The hard winter accounted for a falling off in some of the classes, the animals not'being in show condition. Had the winter been a comfortable one there is reason to believe that all previous records would have been beaten. On the other hand some of the females were good enough to show anywhere in the Dominion, while several of the bulls were in splendid condition; in some instances the reserve champions running the champions very closely. (“Times” Special Reporter.) PALMERSTON NORTH, October 31.

CATTLE CLASSES WHAT THE JUDGES SAID. INTERESTING COMMENTS. The judge of Jersey cattle said, taking that section right, through* there were very good animals, although a number were disappointing. The charnoion cow •was a typical animal and quality wa» much in throughout. iha Champion bull stood out fti his class, the reserve champion lacking condition. The Shorthorn judge was pleased with his section, but said the competition was not as keen as (he expected. He strongly repudiated the' statement in an agneu.tural journal that New Zealand bred as good IJereforcls as England. The margin between the champion and reserve Cham, pion was very small, the reserve being a little finer in the horns. The standard of quality generally was good. Hr T. C Crawford, the fat cattle judge, stated that more interest had been taken in this class. Some of the animals were placed in the wrong pens (two-vear-olds were placed in the three year pens), and on going to judge he decided he could not proceed until a veterinary had been called in to decide tho age. Just as this was agreed to it was discovered that an error had been made. This was rectified, and the judging then gave general satisfaction. The "Shop” classes were especially good, particularly the two-year-olds, one of which won the championship Friesians, said the judge, were fairly good as a whole, and tlift winning bull in the two-year-old class should develop into a champion. The younger animals in the milking shorthorns showed ja great improvement on precious years, the champion cow having great milking qualities, although rather plain in the head. Bed foils were small in number, and the winter was ‘too severe to allow them being shown in best natural condition. Nevertheless there were some first-class animals shown. i IMPROVEMENT IN PIGS.

Speaking to the "Times” reporter one Of the biggest breeders of Tam worth pigs, ryho lives at Hastings, said the number of pigs had greatly increased in that district. and there should be double the ni mber in three or four years' time. His firm had imported a Berkshire boar from America and a Tamworth hoar from Australia, which had much improved the respective breeds, while the cross of the two was a splendid nig for the dairy farmer. There was a "big future for the bacon industry. CHAMPIONSHIPS HORSES. Single harness horso J. H. Ry-mer’e (Meanee) Golinel Tracey. CATTLE. Aberdeen Angus bull—F. Armstrong’s Hayston Bright Print.
