belt work (internal combustion) ; (2) Farm tractors for direct traction, plough- 

 ing and belt work (steam); (J) Self-contained motor ploughs and cultivating 

 implements ; (4) Cable ploughing sets (internal combustion engines); (5) Self- 

 propelled garden ploughs and cultivators ; (6) Tractor ploughs ; (7) Tractor 

 Cultivators ; and (8) Disc Harrows. It is to be observed that for the first time 

 in this country separate classes have been allotted to tractors adapted for 

 horticulture work and to tractor implements. It is proposed to have a six hours' 

 continuous ploughing test during the trials, which, unlike those held last year 

 by the Royal Agricultural Society and the Society in conjunction, will be 

 non-competitive. 



Export of Live Stock to Uruguay. —As a result of representations 

 made by the Ministry through the Foreign Office, regarding the restrictions 

 on the export of Live Stock from this country to Uruguay, the Government of 

 Uruguay have reduced from 6 to 3 months the period that a county must have 

 been free from Foot-and-Mouth Disease before a certificate for the export of 

 stock from that county to Uruguay. can be issued by the Ministry. 



Warning- to Poultry Keepers.— Recent reports to the Ministry show 

 that deaths have occurred among poultry kept in houses or runs, in the 

 construction of which discarded aeroplane wings or fabric have been used. 

 Owners of the poultry are of opinion that their birds have been poisoned 

 either by picking off the " dope " or dressing from the aeroplane wings or 

 fabric, or by the effect of vapour that is given off at times from the " dope " 

 itself. After careful investigation of certain cases and subsequent enquiry, the 

 Ministry desires to draw the attention of poultry keepers to the undoubted risk 

 of loss that attends the keeping of poultry in houses or runs constructed wholly 

 or in part of aeroplane wings or fabric. It is believed, however, that there is 

 little, if any, risk if these materials are well tarred. Lime must not be used 

 on any account as it would prove destructive to the fabric.
