204 CONTAGIOUS UISKASES OF DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. 



State of Ohio, and they attracted a great deal of attention and favor- 

 able comment. 



Section V. — Bees. 



In this division was a complete collection of the breeds of bees, with 

 all the apparatns connected with their raising and the utilization of the 

 honey and wax. 



Section Yf.— Fish and Fish Breeding. 



Besides a show of the implements connected with fishing, a few mod- 

 els of fish-breeding and artificially developed fish were shown, among 

 which was the fine collection of carp from the farms of Adolph Gaschat 

 Kaniow, in Galizia. This exhibit reqnires, however, no details after 

 the larger ones which have recently been held. 



Section VII. — Fowls. 



As no foreign exhibit was made, the collection of fowls can best be 

 criticised as being composed of German birds. The representation of 

 pigeons was wonderful, and the catalogue will probably be of interest 

 to breeders of these semi luxurious but useful birds. 



Section VIII. — Stabling, Machines, and Implements. 



The moderate exhibit of wagons, agricultural implements, &c., was 

 almost entirely from the hands of German and English workmen, and 

 certainly would have been much more valuable if it had had the addi- 

 tion of the standard American machines. The few machines which were 

 modeled from American patents weie of old patterns. 



Section IX.' — Scientific investigation and products in ref- 

 erence TO Animal Industry. 



This section contained an exhibit which would possibly have been 

 one of I he least understood at first sight by many Americans, but when 

 once studied would have been thoroughly appreciated and would have 

 proved of great usefulness in showing the extent to which European 

 governments interest themselves in aiding the agriculturist, by fur- 

 nishing him with i)roperly educated men to assist him in the selection 

 and care of his land and animals; and to care for his animals and pro- 

 tect them when they are sick or are threatened with the epizootics. The 

 first collection ^vas a well selected museum of the books, specimens, ap- 

 paratus, and zootechnic })ro(lucts from the lioyal Prussian Agricultural 

 High School in Berlin. 



The second was a similar collection from the Saxon Agricultural 

 School. This included a complete display of wool from all the ovine 

 races and breeds, with an appendix giving a detailed report of the^toed- 

 ing and producing cost of the animal which furnished the samples.
