HEREFORDSHIRE. 
he late meeting of the Herefordshire Agri- 
cultural Society was more fully attended 
than on any former occasion. Mr. Hudson, 
of Home Lacey, obtainedthe premium for ex- 
hibiting the best pen of fine woojled ewes, 
wool and carcases both considered. A pen ex- 
hibited by the president, Mr. Scudamore, 
were particularly admired for the fineness of 
their feeces. Mr. T. A..Knight gained the 
preference for the best three-years old heifer, 
and also for the best two-years ol@ ditto, bat 
returned the amount to the funds of the so- 
ciety. In making the latter award, the com- 
mittee announced the intention of the society 
-put to encovrege the exhibition of animals 
fattened beyondall useful purpose. The hei- 
fers of Mr. Martin, of Wistaston, and Mr. E. 
Jefferies, of Pembridge, attracted much notice. 
The premium for the hest new variety of the 
apple was also adjudged to Mir. Knight, and 
returned to the society by that gentlemen, 
Nearly twanty specimens of new varieties 
a 
were produced on this oecasion: next to Mr. . 
-Knight’s those of Mr. Westwood and Dr. 
Symonds were most approved of ; and this ex- 
hibition was rencered more than usually in-

whelp apple, exquisitely coloured from naa 
ture, and most obligingly submitted to the in, 
spection of the society by a young lady, who 
has expressed her intentions to make similar 
drawings of all the old provincial fruits; the 
idea was highly agreeable to the meeting, and 
the fair artist has shewn that she is jully , 
competent to the very able execution of the — 
task. Before the society adjourned, a new 
premium was ordered to be given at the next 
Candlemas meeting, to the person who shall 
exhibit any new implement in busbandry, 
which shal] be most approved of at such meet- 
ing. Amongst the animals seen on this oc- 
casion, a yearling wether of Mr. Kedward’s, 
being across between the Rycland and Spa- 
nish breeds, was particularly admired; being 
afterwards slaughtered, it was found to cone 
tain more than twelve pounds of loose faty 
and it weighed twenty-two pounds per quar 
ter. An ox, the property of Mr. Turbervillr, 
could not fail, from its size and make, to ob- 
tain much notice. It was the opinion of 
many eminent breeders, that this animal, 
when completely fat, may even exceed the 
weight of the famous Durham ox, so long ex- 
hibited throughout England. j
