 of live stock, and there will also be sections 

 International devoted to machinery, implements, vegetable, 



Agricultural Exhibi- animal, and industrial products, 

 tion at Buenos Ayres. In view of the great advance made by the 

 Argentine Republic during recent years in 

 agriculture and stock raising, and the large demand for British pedigree 

 live stock, and for agricultural machinery and implements, it is hoped 

 that advantage will be taken of this Exhibition to bring British produce 

 to the notice of Argentine agriculturists. 



The live stock show will comprise four sections, viz., breeding stock, 

 fat stock, dairy stock, and draft animals, the show of breeding stock 

 being held from 3rd to 25th June, and that of fat stock from 9th to 

 14th July. Horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, dogs, poultry, and " other 

 domestic and tame animals " can be shown. Prizes both of medals and 

 in cash will be awarded, and public sales will be held by auction of the 

 animals exhibited, or they may be disposed of privately. 



Entries and applications for space will be received from abroad for 

 live stock up to 1st February, 19 10, and for other exhibits up to 1st 

 November, 1909. They may be addressed to the Secretary of the 

 Exhibition at Buenos Ayres or to the Argentine Consul-General.
