THE HOROWHENUA SHOW.

FULL PRIZE LIST. The Horowhenua Show was favour- . ed with beautiful weather • lor both : hays and was largely attended by visitors from all parts ol the Coast. The. ! event was a complete success iroin ah points ol view. The Jersey entries at the show are within two ol last year’s total, and numbered DB. Ayrshlres, however, show a big decrease, Mr T. H. Colpman, ol Ohau, being the only exhim- 1 tor, whilst ill previous years tfie Pori-., rua Mental Hospital and Messrs. Webb Bros., ol Koputaroa, were strongly *e j presented in this breed. There is no doubt about the utility -of the Ayr- 1 shire, and the breeders ol the district’ should lose no opportunity ol keeping the breed before the public by compel- j ing at the shows. It is to be hosed that next year will see an entry representative ol the many fine herds ol the district. Last year’s figures show that Friesians were better re ; presented twelve months ago than al 1 the present exhibition through there 1 being mole inuiviuual exmoitors. ±ms | year competition is confined princi- ! pally to the Central Development Farm and Mr W. Bevan, ol Manakau, ' whose stock made a fine show, but trie admirers ol the Black and Whites, however limited may be their stock m number, should support their sect! >n at the show, provided, ol course, their animals possess sufficient quality. It is pleasing to record that Registered . Milking Shorthorns are better repre- 1 seiiteu at this, show than the last, 1 and while Mr D. K. Buchanan, ol Waikauae, is noticeably absent, Mr B. n. Siaok, ol Otaki, is -a strong and sucnessiui competitor this year, it the tinorihorns were represented according to hieir number in this district, would make a sun better display, ah otner section that exceeds Jast year'.. entries is the dairy cattle, which are a line tot, and a mature ol the show. Horn Bros., ol Ohau, are the most successful exhibitors in the class. Trie competition lor purebred dairy cows ol any breed is another fine class, ana me entry is. as. good as last year’s. in the sheep Section, Romneys have 1 jumped from 18 last year to 32 this ' year, a most satisfactory increase, ana muse consistent- exhibitprs, Messrs Waggery, of Waikanae, have met good competition from a Levin breeder m Mr it. S. Prouse, who is exhibiting this year with considerable success. ' 1-at sheep: show a lading oil in number, which is accountable lor by the essence ol' a well known competitor la Mr Walter Ryder, whose name nas been successiully associated with the sheep section, and particularly the lats, over a long period ol years. How- , c . er, another season may find him on t.e list again. The farmers’ classes, euuiu be better supported, in fact it ' should be_oue ol the strongest sec- 1 tions at the show. The farmers ol mo ' district should see to it that they are 1 auequateiy represented in the future. [ it is satisfactory to find that the iat 1 cattle pens are better filled at the show 1 than was the case Jast year, and this * in spite ul the slump in stock. It is * pleasing to note that such a thing as c a stump does not disturb tiie fat cattle 1 men to any appreciable degree when * it comes»to a show. ' As already stated, pigs are another J division that show larger entries' than 1 last year, and a greater number of-ax- 1 hibitoia are m evidence—& most satis- * factory aspect of the breeding indus, ‘ try in this district. WHAT THE JUDGES SAY. BEAUTIFUL OHAU AYRSHIRES. Mr A. Montgomerie, the Ayrshire judge, in commenting on this section, stated that though there "was not much competition, Mr T. H. Coipman exhibited some beautiful animals, the winning animal in the four-year cow class being a line type, A good pair of yearling heifers were exhibited by I the same owner, the first being a good j type, though a bit heavy in the , shoulder, whilst the second, while on I the small side, showed even better quality. The winning calves were particularly good, and would hold j their own anywhere in New Zealand. | Mr Montgomerie said that, as a breed- j er of experience in Ayrshires as well as in other breeds, he did not think, that the Ayrshir.es were getting me consideration irom dairymen that they were entitled to. This breed did well on any class of country, and particularly on poor country, and with equal: conditions were capable of holding j their own with any breed. j STRONG JERSEY SECTION. j The Jersey section had as judge Mr, FI. E. B. Watson, .of Canterbury, one | of the leading judges in New Zealand, j Mr Watson was enthusiastic at the I Jersey display, which he considered ; was very creditable, and he had no idea it would he so good. • Both in number and quality the section was a strong one, especially in tne heifer classes, which were among the best he had seen in New Zealand. There was ■ also nice quality in the female calf. ’ classes, bfit the outstanding class was the two-year heifers. The male ex- j hibits were not up to the females in . quality. .Mr Watson said the Jersey ' ■ display was quite equal to anything to be seen anywhere, and he was sure few shows could excel It. I, PIG JUDGE’S ENTHUSIASM. . ' Mr J. McFarland, the pig judge, was enthusiastic about' this class. The baconers. he considered, were very fine. He explained that where the Tamworth cross was used with the Berkshire. one-quarter of the former produced the best class of baconer, because it gave the length of side. The Berkshire baconers at the show were fine specimens, as also were the young stock. NOT ENOUGH PRIZES FOR DAIRY CATTLE. Mr G. Slevers, the dairy cattle Judge, considered this section was one

or me strongest mat had appeared at the local show, ana there was Keen compeuuon. There were some nice * cattle competing, said Mr'Sievers,-and ; one would go a long way neiore meeting better. The purebred dairy class in whicii Fnesians, Ayrshirea, jerseys and Shorthorns were competing, was very nne, and Mr if. J. Lancaster, oi (iien Oroua, hau a meritorious win with his entry. Tne section was an excellent one, and the judge regretted, there were not enough prizes to go : round the lot. ‘ l | FRIESIANS FEW BUT GOOD. . The Friesian judge was Mr A. Bur'gess, oi Kong'otea. Mr Burgess said that aithougii the entries were comiparatively small, there was no douht about the quality ol ttie class, as some oi the competing animals had won in tiie strongest company. The champion bull had already won the New | Zealand championship, whilst Mr Bevan’s cow. had also won championj ship honours in wider company, it 'was a very good thing, Mr Burgess said, to have ,such animals competing, as it gave an importance to me show, and a strong impetus to the Friesian class. FINE ROMNEYS AND FATS. The sheep judge, Mr W. H. Gihson, stated that the Romneys were a tine lot, and produced good competition, whilst the section ail through -was the best for some years. Mr K. w. Deighton, who judged the iats, said this class was really good, and should be an encouragement to others !o come out and bedome competitors :n I future. COMPETITIONS.
