450 WISCONSIN AGEICULTUEE. 



An improvement on this would be to divide tlie duties of the 

 last clerk above mentioned, between two. 



Our class books are bound books of half foolscap size, and 

 numbered on the back, and are used from year to year. The 

 object of this is two-fold. First, for convenience of comparison 

 of the number of entries in any class from year to year, and 

 secondly, that each committ e may know whether any article in 

 competition has been previously exhibited. 



Our form of entry in the class books, I think could be im- 

 proved. A single entry would run across both pages as follows : 



Page 1. Page 2. 



No. Name. Residence. Exhibii. 



7. F. Jewell. Linden. One Leicestershire Buck. 



A better plan, probably, would be the one adopted at the 

 State Fair, which leaves the second page blank for comment by 

 the Judges. For instance : 



Page 1. Page 2. 



No. Name, &c., &c. Aivard. 



7. F. Jewell. Linden. Leicester not in premium 



One Leicester Buck, list. This is a fine specimen. 



4 years old. We recommend a high pre-

A general superintendent was appointed as well as a superin- 

 tendent for each class. It was arranged that they should divide 

 the space between themselves, and receive and locate all articles 

 in their respective departments. This plan was not fully carried 

 out, however, and a good deal of confusion resulted in conse- 

 quence. 



Too much care cannot be exercised in securing the services of 

 Class Superintendents. 



The two days appointed for the Fair proved to be cold, stormy 

 and exceedingly disagreeable, and we feared a total failure. — 

 But we were happily disappointed in that respect. Over three 

 hundred entries were made, and about 220 memberships sold. 



The display of Cattle was much better than last year, a num- 

 ber of pure Dcvons and Durhams being on exhibition.
