vill, for the beat pea of Down wether sheep exhibited by a 

 tenant farmer occupying less than 150 acres of land. 



The exhibition of pigs was of a first-rate description, and 

 contained a number of exceedingly creditable specimens. One 

 particularly attracted universal attention, and was the fortunate 

 possessor of no less than three prizes. This animal was 

 shown by Mr. Frederick Bowyer, of Stoke Mill, Guildford. 



The horse show was decidedly superior to that of any for- 

 mer year, and several of the entries were in first-rate condition. 



The department allotted to the exhibition of roots, however, 

 was that which gave to this year's show its great merit. The 

 mangel wurzels and globe wutzeb were remarkably large 

 and fine, and the whole of the latter were especially commended 

 by the judges. There was a very extensive collection of 

 Swedes and turnips, of first-rate character, and the cabbages 

 were also deserving of much commendation. 



There was a large and superior assortment of agricultural 

 and other implements, some of which were of a novel and im- 

 proved description. Messrs. Filmer and Mason, of Guild/ord, 

 exhibited an extensive collection. Mr. F. Apted, of Guild- 

 ford, showed a root mincer, of Wood's ; Mr. Thomas Gill, of 

 Guildford, several chafif cutters, chain harrows, &c. ; Mr. 

 James Woodbourne, of Kingsley, Hants, had on view improved 

 ploughs; Mr. Charles Bushuell, of Pitch-place, Guildford, 

 showed a winnowing machine and a turnip drill ; and Mr. J. 

 Stedman, of Ash and Normandy, exhibited several chain 

 harrows. 



The judges were : — Of fat and lean cattle, sheep and pigs — 

 Mr. Thomas Wells, Phenill Farm, Dorking ; Mr. William 

 Challen, Wisborough-green, Sussex; and Mr. W. Haydon, 

 Tulse-hill, Brixton. Of horses, roots, and corn — Mr. T. B.

CATTLE DISEASE IN THE COLONIES.— The 



latest papers from Victoria notice that " a disease sup- 

 posed to be pieuro-pneumonia has made its appearance 

 in one of our colonial herds." The Victoria Agricul- 

 tural and Horticultural Gazette states that Master 

 Butterfly suffered from a cold and a husky cough
