SHOW OF FARM STOCK. 



The collection of Cattle was the best ever exhibited at any fair of 

 the Hampshire Society, although not so many animals were on the 

 ground, as on some former occasions. There was but one Town 

 String — a noble one of forty-four pairs — from Hadley. The exhibi- 

 tion of Bulls and of young cattle was better than ever before. The 

 breeds were of the choicest, and the specimens displayed points and 

 qualities, showing a decided advance in thorough breeding. Sheep 

 were not numerous, but were of those excellent varieties, the South 

 Downs, Merinoes and Cotswolds. The display of SAvine included 

 some very fine Suffolks and other improved breeds. The show of 

 Poultry was good.
