close of the show. Some of these were subsequently sold at 

 low prices, as little as twelve shillings being realised for 

 animals that three years ago would have fetched at least four 

 to six pounds sterling. Black and brown faced breeds were 

 poorly represented. Hitherto Shropshires and the Down 

 varieties have met with little favour in Argentina, owing to 

 the poorness of their fleeces, but signs are not wanting that 

 their day is coming, and that at no distant date there 

 will be a demand for them. The Shropshire, for example, 

 stands the excessive heat of the more northern lands far 

 better than the Lincoln, and its carcase is more sought after 

 by freezing companies, since it is smaller, and the meat is of 

 finer quality than that of the Lincoln. It is generally ex- 

 pected that with the restoration of peace in South Africa, 

 a large field will be opened up there for Argentine live stock. 



Dairy Exhibition at Brussels. 

 The Board have received information through the Foreign 

 Office that a Dairy Exhibition will be held in Brussels on the 

 26th, 27th, and 28th April, under the direction of the National 

 Dairy Society of Belgium. It will be held in the Pare du 

 Cinquantenaire, where a cattle show will be held simul- 

 taneously. 



The exhibition will include Belgian and foreign dairy 

 products, and articles connected with their manufacture. It 

 will be divided into several sections, of which one will be 

 exclusively devoted to centrifugal machines and churns ; 

 another to recently introduced dairy methods and appliances, 

 etc. Exhibits relating to dairy instruction will also form a 

 special feature of the exhibition ; and a conference will be 

 held on the 27th and 28th April, when discussions will take 

 place on various subjects which are of primary interest to the 

 dairy industry. Exhibitors will be allowed special rates for 

 the carriage of their goods on the Government railways. 

 Entries must be sent in before the 1st April, and full infor- 

 mation relating to the exhibition, as well as to the conference, 

 may be obtained from M. Armand Collard Bow, Secretary 

 of the National Dairy Society, Venders, Belgium.
