A very interesting exhibit at tho Manawatu show was half a dozen heggete shown by Sir James Wilson, of Bulls. Thev are bv Shropshire Down rams.out of Tioninoy-Lincoln ewes, and aro tho first attempt in tho North Island to pmdticn both carcass and wool in the same sheep hv this cross. That the experiment is a success is proved by tho fact that tho hnggclft were nnrticulnrly large-framed, being liouutifiilly W|iinrc and carrying a gno<l proportion of million of a quality which ihould j\i?t suit the Homo market. Thcv were extremely heavily nnd evenly wnolled. and three which bed been shown dipped 3lilh. of wool much liner than l!ic Rninncy. of beautiful Blnnle. whii'b should fetch a good price. It is uudiTslood that similar experiments have been inmlo in tho South Cautorburv district with oxcollent results.
