Mr. Ensol Harris, of Kambakkana ; this includefl 
packets of tea and coffee, jams, jellies, ard various 
fruits. Considerable interest was sviiiced in a 
freake of nature in the form of a three lesged 
drake, sent by Mr. B J Misso, of Alvin Land, 
Heneratgoda ; and Mr C E A Dias, of Fanadure. 
showed a collection over 100 varieties of birds' 
eggs. Mr H E Kajapakse, a former student, 1 be- 
lieve, of the Agricultural School, sent an improved 
plough of his own invention, which was favourably 
spoken of by one or two experts. Mr J C Willis had 
ou show several .A merican tools specially adapted 
for the use of cultivators on a small scale ; these 
tools are being more extensively used each year 
in America and England, and are devised to save 
labour, where possible a tool being fixed on a 
wheel to assist manipulation. Such tools were a 
wheeled hoe, and a drill, etc. A small hand spray 
holding about a quart of spraying mixture, ap- 
peared a useful tool, and also a machine for 
speedily and easily digging holes to the depth of 
2 feet and of a circumference of about 8 to 10 
inches, The presence of vast crowds of natives 
•who thronged the stalls of exhibits, and seemed 
to greatly appreciate the presence of a band, some 
elephants, and the troupes of native devil-dancers 
was sufficient proof that these village shows are 
popular and may easily be m.ide means foj- greatly 
raising the standard of agriculture, horticulture, 
dairy — farming, and native village industry gener 
ally throui^hout the colony.
