And again I find, that it Is tbe practice ofsomeof tbe\ fairs to make little or no distinction in the amount of premiums offered, between the pure bred animal and the common grades. This I also believe to be an er- ror. It might be necessary to do this years ago, to insure a display, but 1 pure bred animals Association " have elected officers, and will hold their Fair, September 19, 20 and 11.

The cattle department also deutves our particular attentiou. Wis cousin stands to-day in the front rank of dairy producing slates, and it is the July of agricultural societies to pay particular attention to this department. The cow the stock department, particularly, I would recommend the collection of a ten per cent, entry fee, for it bas a tendency to keep out a class of slock that does not aid the exhibition. In all the other de- partments, the premiums usually offered with but a few exceptions, I believe to be fully adequate.

It appears 10 bethecuslom of most ol the societies to pay a premium of from one dollar to two dollars for fitst premium and about fifty cents to one that produces tbe most and the richest dollar for the second premium.
