«‘ The prize was given to the man, not 
the colt,” is a familiar ring-side reproach, 
which, though often true in fact, is not 
always deserved as criticism. The judgo 
may be quite justified in giving the prize 
to an exhibitor who shows a _ weil- 
mannered entry, not too shy to bear 
inspection, over a competitor whose colt 
manages to keep its dam between it and. 
the judge. If you have a beast to show, 
train it, or don’t blame the judge if he 
gives a poorer one the prize.

Mr. A. E. Braund, consular representa- 
tive for the Argentine Republic, writes— 
The question as to whether sheep 
inscribed in the Australian flock books 
would be eligible for inscription in the 
Argentine flock books has been frequently 
asked, and, in order to clear up this 
important point, a cable was sent to the 
Argentine Government, which has 
brought back the reply -that sheep 
inscribed in the Australasian flock books 
are eligible for inscription in the Argen- 
tine flock books.

Economy and celerity have displaced 
in Great Britain the characteristic 
features of the old-time harvests. “ The 
Times’ estimates that the harvest outlay 
now would run from 5/ to not more then 
10/ per acre, whereas, in the old days, 
what with the vast amount of hand- 
jabor, and the querulous and incessant 
calls for beer, it was a slow and risky 
process, costing £1 per acre for cutting 
and stooking alone. This great improve- 
ment has been achieved largely by the 
advent of the self-binder. ;
