THE CATTLE SHOW.
The Cattle Show, for 1838, look, place in one of the paddocks of Mr. John Hall, at Otahuhu, on Thursday the 2nd instant. The day was a fine- one, and there was a Targe concourse of visitors from Auckland,, as well as Ihe surrounding districts. As Tar .as regards Horse Stock, the show was. considered to be no improvement on that of the proceeding year: although there were some fine heavy cart and plough horses brought forward. The horned cattle were few in number; but the young heifers and dairy cows were greatly approved of and much admired. A-vast improvement was manifested in sheep, of which there were some splendid specimens, particularly of long-wooled sheep, on the ground. Much cave and interest is now being taken in laying down the land to meadow, in order to the carrying out a system of good sheep farming, which is the j best* the surest,. and the most profitable j ground work for every description of farm- ! Xnere were few agricultural implements exhibited; but there was one article, a portable Steam Engine and Thrashing Machine, recently Imported from England, which was well worthy of the attention it attracted. This machine will save an immense amount of labour preparing corn for market. It will ,thresh it out at once, and clean the grain in such a manner as will relie\e the Native grower from the constant complaints that are made of half-dressed corn, and will insure him very probably as much difference in price as the payment for threshing will cost him. It is an admirable instrument and well worth the consideration oiTour Native farmers.. The Show was concluded by a Dinner at which his Excellenty the Governor, the Managers, and many of the exhibitors and visitors were present*
