markets of the world and beat them. We now have factories equipped with the 
latest machinery, up-to-date methods of packing and handling, transport by 
high-class refrigerating steamers, and our surplus is available when the markets

farmer in the selection of the highest grade of cattle, Aryshire or otherwise, 
careful attention to feeding, housing, and general management, and that being 
attained, I predict that before many years have elapsed, Queensland will fall

Victoria. 
[In the matter of prizes for Ayrshire cattle, Mr. Stewart has been remark- 
ably successful, haying since 1885 taken no less than 28 firsts, 9 seconds, and 8_ 
champion prizes. We should haye been pleased to be able to give all the pedigrees 
and milking performances of Mr. Stewart’s cows, but want of space precludes 
their publication.—Ed. Q.4./.]
