the birds had been changed. He ■would not go beyond an 

 opinion, although one pen took the cup and the other was only 

 highly commended, and he had judged them but the previous 

 day ; but this opinion was fully confirmed by the exhibitor who 

 was next called, and who admitted the birds were changed, and 

 of course restored the right bu'ds to their right pens. He said it 

 was a mistake on his part. I would ask, Should such mistakes 

 be allowed to pass without some official notice? and why was 

 the exhibitor allowed to handle the birds at all after they were 

 penned ? He must have had the birds from the two pens out at 

 one and the same time ; otherwise, how could the mistake have 

 happened about which I complained ? Fortunately I bought 

 the right birds after all. In justice to the management I must 

 fiay they took immediate action upon my representing the 

 matter to them. — H.jaiRY W. J os^ao^i, Wood ville,El7}i€r3 End, 

 Jieckenham. 



[It is a curious fact that these mistakes always are made in 

 favour of the person who makes the mistake. In this instance 

 he -was Mr. K. S. S. "Woodgate.— Ens.] 



CLEVELAND POULTRY SHOW. 



Tms was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall, at Middlesbrough, 

 on November liTth, and was managed by an excellent Com- 

 mittee, and superintended by Mr. Torbock, the Hon.-Secretary 

 and Treasurer, and if number of entries be any guide, then the 

 Cleveland Society has started with the confidence of the fancy. 

 Unfortunately the room proved far too small for the number of 

 pens, and in addition to their being placed in double tiers, two 

 smaller rooms had to be pressed into service, and in some cases 

 the light was anything but good. The birds should all have 

 been in their pens by 11 a.m. on the 2Gth, but from some cause 

 many did not arrive till the following day, numbers being too 

 Ute for competition, although the Committee allowed all to be 

 penned and compete however late, if the class had not been 

 judged.

Alderney Cows. — The information about Alderney cows is too 

 spare to be of much ubc. How long have " H. S.'s " cows been 

 lirought-in at night? Ours since the first week in November. 

 The relative ages and the number of calves -which they have had 

 should be given when telling of the quantity of butter, as they 

 increase in the quantity of milk after each calf up to a certain 

 time, I believe. Any furthfer hints on their management will be 

 welcome. — Hillsbro.
