 Iitchfeld County. Cattle Show and Fair. e1 ARYcrsd e1prasty yos tAe Ldeaaoid Eaqsayz. -9n ras .ssssss BY CALEB sTARBucK sex &is e9aa s Three as pleasant days as shine in these parts very ofen ushered in and bid good by to our Cattle Show this year; and a, right smart gathering of menfolks we had too, beside sprinkling of women kind, and one or tgo children. As for Cattle, the like eat never before was to say nothing of sheep with wool fpet long, and bodies like 2 yearling calf There warnta great many riss, andine great count of Shanghais, and some of the horsess too. would have looked better on their way to the West Indies via New Haven And now as we are on the horse talk, we want to express ourselves in pretty square terms.
 You don't take pains enough nsighbois. to breed from good mares, and you penny wise and pound foolish, when you expose your mares for cheap hor- es. It dont take any more fodder to raise close ribbed, big jointed, headed Morgan Messenger or Hamltonisn Colt than it does alanky, siabsided no-gaited 1critter that won't bring s75 when its three years old, and when you breed "an old spav- ined wind broken, ring -boned mare that you gave s25 for you make terrible mistake, for spavius are always he reditary and like begets like, the world over. Now just look at it minute. There's here in this County right smart chance of Zenith colts and out of the whole of them, how many real good ones are there? Not more than five or six any how ! And these five six are just the smartest, hand sonlest best booded stock about. And what thcreason! Why, their dams were fust-rats mares, and their sire was Old Zenith, of the best-bred horses ever in this region. Now you old chaps that have got two or three small ointed cross, kicking gnarly, sorrel mares might just we'll have had a dozen like Mr. Atwater's of Plymouth, which to notion, is of the best stallions in the Coun Ity. Mr. Batten. MT. Hopson. and Mir. Lyman have taken especial pains to introduce superior stock in to the country; and the two best colts to our tion on the ground, were two of Mr. Battells, and he hadia chestnut mare, four year that showed more blood and blood joints than any colt in the exhibition and the best yearlins and two yearolds v,l.-
 instead of some dosen or of fair colts, there ought to have been at least 50 Now there's roan stallion from Woodbury that's no bad horse, tho rather small and great thing travel, and there's another brown horse, most black, owned by Mr. Hoadley, d Plymouth, that's more than ordinary horse-that's right smart, butts a rather coarse haired and sesjointed fellow. Then there's the Hopson horse, and one of Mfr Lyman's Any of these with good mares, would bring the best of stock. There were on the ground but few unbrokcu colts. We noticed pretty fair year old bay mare of Mir ,Hsrts, Of Cornwall and another of Mir. Lucas s, of Goshen and smart old mare wit a very fine colt, belonging to Mir Monson of Wa. tersown, was very foolishly run around the course when she had no business to be, to the great onnov ance of the trotting horses. On the whole we were not satisfied with the display of native horses There were good many not raised in the County and quite good display of them on Wednesday the day the gals rode. Now we advise you folks that's going to raise colts. to kill of or give away your old mares, and to buy some thrifty, smart two year ods or to breed two year olds is the Lest for econ omy and for colts) and then send them to Mr. Hop. s'n or MT Battcil, or some of the folks we ve men. toned afore that's got good hprsss-t t s, ' = As for Gaataes ysaakse beginning to do the thing sF pretty fair. We never saw finer Devon Cattle any where. Butit's a question in our minds wheth. CT these cretures are st the kind of stock for you They are hardy, sleek, small and only fairmilkcrs; whereas, AldeIneys are better milkes, and jist.as good for workers. There were two Devon bulls standing sde by sides said to be thoroush.breds one Mir. Chandler Judd's of Waterto~n, and t'other Mir. Potter's of Plymouth. According to our way of thinking MT. Potter was the best. Mr. Judd's has first rate shoulder but s 100 hollow backeds still, he mighty nice creters The prettyest two year old bull wesaw, zbclonged to Mir Monson. Of Wssertown. He had the incest horns ever on bull kind--j jist like steers if his coat about his neck want little toocariy. would be first ctop.- The best yeariin Devon bull was Mir catiin rnew himportation hide like piece of kid, ana hair like blood horse. If you want to breed fine Devon stock, remember him. There was so much fine Devon stock, we don't know how to talk about it, MF. Chandler Judd and R. A. Ford.s heifers, Fvu.oR S. .~x- -sI |. l--
