THE LATE SHOW.

?IR, — Yourself and others must have felt i hat there was something wanting at Ohaupo to make the dhow what it ought 10 be for a Waik ito Agricultural Exhibition. It w»i not that the stock and articles were iot worth showing, but a gen r»l feeling ihat there was not enough of it. The question was freely aiked was Ohaupo the best place for it ? Again, was it the proper season of the tear ? Would not e*rly Spring be botte, ? Or bett of all, would not Autumn be just (he time? These are questions worthy the j earnest corsideration of futuro committees. The question of questions — as I take it — is how to infuse a proper enthusiasm into the people. If a real interest were felt, would iwo such departments at pigs and poultry be all but unrepreiented ? What would farmer's wives around Auckland do for supplies of little things for themselves and children without a poultry yard, and do not Waikato matrons equally need one P It cannot be that like cereals " th«y don't pay !" Neither can it bo that th^y <io not improve the appearance of a homestead. lam sure they are first rate scavengers. A friend of miue who recently remo»ed to a fresh house informed me that the aero on which it stood was so swarming with blow flies, sand flics, moths, and wood lice, as to be almost intolerable. He started a few head of oultry whioh rapidly increased, and now there is scarcely one of these pests to b seen. Neither is it that good breeds are scare" in the districts, for tiavel iv what direction you may, you will frequently see birds worth snowing. The same applies to pigs. I have never known a successful Agricultural Exhibition, either at Home or in the Colonies where these two departments were not larjiy represented.—l am, Ac, Aaxicoiii.
