POULTRY AT THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL 
SOCIETY’S EXHIBITION, GLOUCESTER. 
Those who attended the Exhibition of the Bath and 
West of England Agricultural Society, at Plymouth, in June 
last, and were also present on the occasion of the late 
Gloucester Meeting, enjoyed an admirable opportunity of 
testing the relative characters of the lime-stone, and the 
clay formations, as to the amount of water that they may 
severally hold in combination. 
The early part of the week had given the desparing hay- i 
maker a few bright, warm days, and till noon, on Wednesday, 
the 13th, making could not be better, but from that time 
almost incessant rain fully developed the plastic nature of j 
Gloucestershire clay, and the vast prospective utility of the 
numerous draining-tile machines that were at work among 
the implements. The yards and their approaches were, con¬ 
sequently, in that state that induced one to seek the ankle- 
deep mud as a safer path than the slippery surface of the 
less-trodden ground. 
Wednesday, the 13th inst., was allotted to the display of 
implements, while the judges were occupied with their awards 
among the live stock. Their duties, however, were com¬ 
pleted at so early an hour in the afternoon, that we were by 
no means prepared to hear the summary edict that excluded 
all from that department of the Exhibition until the follow¬ 
ing day. On previous occasions, no difficulty had been ex-
