bunches and patches of the sourest grass. The cattle will not only 
eat it with relish but it will be far more nutritious for them, either 
young stock or dairy cows, but especially the latter. 
In many districts the dairy cows will be maintained almost entirely 
in their stalls and pens, and will be dependent chiefly upon roots, 
hay, and cake. We think that the time and manner of feeding is of 
great consequence, and that roots and cake meal should be given 
immediately after milking, and a full allowance of water just before 
milking. Roots such as Swedes will sometimes impart a flavour to the 
milk and butter ; the feeding just after milking avoids this to a great 
extent. The cattle of different ages now feeding under cover should 
receive common Turnips, then hybrid yellow Turnips, and Swedes in 
succession. At any change of food, however, it is a good plan to 
mix the roots before any decided change is made, as the cattle will 
not only eat them better but are not so likely to scour them, as any 
sudden change frequently does. Carrots and Carrot greens are both 
valuable ; the latter should never be wasted, but given to young 
cattle. Calves and yearlings will do better with these than when 
eating Turnips, <fcc. Cabbage is, however, best for them, but whilst 
the digging and lifting of Carrots is going on the greens should be 
used daily as fast as they are available. Farm horses should have a 
good allowance of Carrots, for much hard work is yet to be accom¬ 
plished before the dead portion of winter work arrives. About 12 or 
15 lbs. of roots given twice daily will be sufficient, with Oats or 
drege and hay, for horses will always prove more healthy if fed on a 
moderate allowance of roots throughout the winter. 
CRYSTAL PALACE POULTRY SHOW. 
(Continued from page 472.) 
Spanish curiously enough numbered the same as last year—forty- 
two pens in all. They were good even classes, but the old birds, 
especially the hens, were hardly through their moult. Old cocks were 
only five. First was a little rough in quality of face and had a 
slightly drooping comb. Second was better in both these points, but a 
trifle close in eye ; we preferred him to the first. Third had the largest 
face and lobe of any, but rough. In hens (six) all three winning 
birds were throughout of good quality, somewhat shrunken in face 
and comb through moult. 779 (Le Sueur) although small should, we 
thought, have won on account of her splendid condition and flat 
rounded lobe. In cockerels (seventeen) the winner also took the cup 
for male birds. He is grand in size and shape, a nice face and long 
earlobe, both of good quality ; comb not quite straight—an easy win. 
Second large, but with a fold in earlobe and rather rough in face. 
Third, nice smooth face and lobe, and very perfect comb, 78G (Dixon), 
highly commended, very long but not broad enough in lobe. The class 
contained several other good birds. Pullets (twelve), the winner here 
took the cup for hens or pullets ; we did not fancy her so much as 
second. Her face was uneven over the eyes, and there was a fold in 
each earlobe. Second had a nice smooth face and large rounded ear¬ 
lobes. Third had a face small but good ; she failed in body. 805 
(Mills), very highly commended, we much liked ; her face was one of 
the largest and best laid on in the class. 
Leghorns were shown in four classes, old and young competing 
together. They numbered forty-six as against sixty last year. The 
greater part of the falling-off was in the Whites. Brown cocks (four¬ 
teen) were a nice class. The winner splendid in shape and very rich 
in colour, but with an enormous comb and not quite clear in lobe. 
Second very smart in carriage and well striped in hackle ; comb 
smaller than first, but still coarse. Third was in magnificent bloom, 
his colour rather dark but brilliant, best in comb and clear in lobe. 
All three winners were birds of the year. Brown hens (fifteen).— 
The prizes here also went to chickens. First was good in lobe, shape, 
and colour ; second not so good in lobe and too dark in colour, but 
larger ; third in the best condition of the three, but too brown. Best 
of class moderate. White cocks (ten).—First and Leghorn cup a 
neat shaped bird, good in comb, moderate in lobe, but seemed to us, in 
the failing light in which we saw him, to be rather yellow. Second 
was a good one but for an imperfectly closed beak. Third long 
and rather slim in body, but very even in comb ; this, however, was 
set on too low at back. White hens (eight) were not remarkable as a 
class. First and second nice pullets, the former winning by condi¬ 
tion ; third a good hen. 
Andalusians were by themselves this year, the Minorcas being rele¬ 
gated back to the variety class (why, we don’t know). They numbered 
thirty-seven as against forty-two of both breeds last time. The 
cocks (seventeen) were a very fair lot, nearly all being of this year. 
The winner, who also took the cup, was good in size and pencillings 
but rather rough in comb and stained on lobe. His hackle feathers 
were of the medium colour. Second darker in colour, pale in face, 
and rather loose in comb, but in prime condition. Third medium 
colour again, face pale and comb folded in front, otherwise of the 
right sort. The hens were a strong class of twenty. First an old 
bird of the light shade nicely pencilled. Second another good one of 
similar type. Third smaller and rather cloudy in colour. 1448 (Wilson), 
very highly commended, a good one out of show form. 
We append the complete prize list; we regret that our reporter’s 
notes on the Pigeons arrived too late for insertion.
