Throughout tho pig classes, however, tliere were many examples 
ol" over-feeding, sutticient to render the animals totally unfit 
lor healthy breeding purposes. This is a growing evil for which 
it is difficult to suggest a remedy. The Judges report: — 
We have mncli pleasure in ha\ing to report a very good show; some- 
excellent specimeus of the difi'erent breeds were exhibited with a good close

commended. 
Classes 122, 123, aiid 124, were a lot of good cross-bred animals. 
A word on the " dentition " of pigs may not be out of place^ 
for instances were not wanting to show that the ages of several 
of the pigs, especially in the white classes, did not agree with 
the statements made in the certificates of entry ; whilst "in the 
pens of three " there was more than one instance in which the 
state of dentition was incompatible with the certificate that 
the animals were of the same litter. Let this hint be sufficient 
to guard exhibitors against a repetition of a system which, if 
persevered in, will assuredly bring down upon the offenders a. 
Avell merited punishment in future. 
Twenty-three competitors appeared for the wool prizes, which 
were confined to the breed of sheep of the district — Shropshires
