Sir,â€" 1 ttink your rem^trks the other week ou agricultural shows were op- pcrtuue.. Now is the time for farm- ers to sgeak their miuds on this im- pDrtant suojecrt. You have noticed no doubt last fullthat'London, Brampton and Hamilton held their agricultural fairs on the same day. I tinnk that is as it shouid be and I also thiuk that if our township shows w«^re all .held on the same day tliere- would be ten head of sheep and pigs to the one now exhibited. There are several members ut Glenelg agricultural show that have expeudedcouHiderablemouey ID buying what is called thoroughbred stock .and have done so several years ago so now they could show splendid grades if they thought they had their equals to euntond against. Bu*: the8« men do not bring their stock I'rcm home-on those da) 8. Why Becausj there are a few men that feed, blanket, wash and comb a few of the best of their stock and make u j their minas to make it pay. When they leave home they de not intend to return as long as there-is a show within twenty miles of them, and I know as well as my broiler farmers that it would noj pay rw^ t3 go to so much trouble and expense with our stock, for one show or two, experience ought to teach us. The first and second show held in Markdale there was good competiti-m in all kinds of cattle, sheep and pigK. How is it now lots of empty pens two or three filled I must say with first class stock. When I ask any of my neighbours are you going to show this or that animal the answer is no it would be no use those breeders will be there and I could have no chance. If our directors must have those travel- lers let thom have special prizes for them, and have other prizes for us, theuweall can compete. Some will say we want this stock brought amongst us so we can buy from them aad im prote our stock. Very true, but those farmers that want to buy seldom, buy at t«.)wnship shows tliey generally buy at county shows because there in a greater vaiiety to choose from and more honouv attached to the animal i4iHt ti^es a comity prize than a town- .ship one.
