Judging at iSK6w| :

(TO,THE EDITOR).'

'yjla takes a greatintercat ■', in Agricultural exhibitions" would you; permit'me to,make arerairkon the style jof, judging^at'these, jhqwi. Judges are'selected principally from'; other districts to .ensurn v striot,inipar.. tiality in the awarding of prizes, and' doubtless < carry ■ out toj the' brtifc- of their ability - the seryicea required ,of. them, But different judges invar, iably entertain distinct on these questions and ( consequently a prize may be, awarded to an animal by one judge, .while the eamoexhibit would notbe noticed by another. The consequence is that owners of stook are loft in cbm'pleto darkcoss astothe reason why their sheep, cattle, or horses are commended or overlooked flbthe case may be, Now; jri poultry, dogs and like' shows there aro specified .standards to guide the judges in their decisions and breeders are- thus able to have'an idea of tbe class of exhibit required of. them, I think if some authority in respect to these matters were 1 brought forward and mutually accepted, a very desirable result would bo accomplished.
