SECOND DIVISION. 



Whole number of entries, 3. Four-years-old Oxen, 2; three-yeare-old 

 Steers, 1. 



We regret very much to see so few entries in this division, only three 

 entries, two of four year olds, and one of three years old. And why is it ? 

 Have the farmers abandoned the raising of stock. One reason, we presume is, 

 that farmers have engaged in dairying, finding the profit better than raising 

 calves. Then again horses are taking the place of oxen. You seldom see 

 oxen now, and only a few years ago most every farm would have oxen. But 

 we hope this will change soon, and you will see our fair well represented as in 

 former years, with our large Durhams. All of which is respectfully submitted.
