tlio show was the line (imdity of the local leil sheep, lamhs and cattle. Never before in tile hisuny of the Mart has such a splemlid array of local stock hemi entered for the Cliri.slmas .show. More important still is the fact that the local cattle were little lioliind those in the open section in qnaliiy and eommereial value. The cattle seen on 3Iomlay and the pi ices realized are a dolinile i-nc«mrag<‘mciit to local farmers to .mainlaiii their practice of feeding stock for the Imtcher.
