following circulars, which we publish for general
information.
LIVE STOCK AT THE CENTENNIAL.
1t is understood that the bureau of Agriculture
Of the international Centennial Exhibition, has
determined to exhibit Live Stock within the months
of September and October, 1876; the periods de-
voted to each class and family being fifteen days,
and the division as follows:
Horses, mules and asses, Gas one Glass; from
September first to fifteenth.
Horned Cattle, (of all varieties from September
twentieth to October fifth.
Sheep, swine and goats, Gas one class,) from
October tenth to twenty-ffth.
An important rule regulating admission requires
that all animals exhibited, be of pure blood. (trot-
ting stock and fat cattle excepted.) Another rule
not to be overlooked, excludes all animals, even
though they be thoroughbred, which are not highly
meritorious.
The exhibition being open to the whole world, il
is Of the first Importance that we bring forward the
best Of their kind only, as the character Of our
stock will be judged by the general average Of those
exhibited.
Exhibitors will be expected to provide for feeding
their stock. An officer of the Bureau, specially
charged with the duty, will furnish at cost prices,
all forage and other food, at depots conveniently
located within the grounds.
Exhibitors will also be expected to furnish their
own attendants, on whom all responsibility Of the
care of feeding, watering and cleaning the animals,
and also Of cleaning the stalls will rest.
Though the Commission will erect ample accom-
mediation for the exhibition and protection Of Live
Stock, contributors who may desire to make special
arrangements for the display Of their stock, viii be
afforded facilities, at their own cost.
All animals will be under the supervision Of a
veterinary surgeon, employed by the Bureau, and
before whom each animal must pass, before admis-
sion,-to guard against infection and who will
also make g daily inspection, and report.
Ia case Of sickness, the animal will be removed 10
a suitable enclosure, specially prepared for lite CON-
fort and medical treatment.
Rings will be provided for the display and exercise
Of horses and cattle,
The Bureau Is In daily receipt Of applications for
space, and it is highly important that all who design
exhibiting, should now make application. as the
extent of preparation necessary can only be regulated
by an estimate based upon actual demands.
Inquiries may be addressed to the Chief Of the
Bureau Of Agriculture, Philadelphia.
FISH AT THE CENTENNIAL,
It is desire Of the Centennial Commission Of the
International Exhibition to afford all reasonable
facilities FOR the Exhibition Of Fish and the various
appliances and processes used 10 fish culture.
All parties engaged in the propagation Of fish as q
business pursuit will, no doubt, find it Of advantage
to exhibit, as also, those who are engaged in the
manufacture Of f-pliancea for the culture and cap
ture Of ash,
1t Is therefore suggested that the " Commissioners
Of Fisheries " Of the various States, take such con-
cert Of action as may surely accomplish 50 desirable
an object; individual effort, however praiseworthy,
can hardly be relied upon as expressing the impOr-
lance and prospective extent Of this new national
industry.
The exhibition will open May 10th, 1876, and will
continue for six months. The details O. arrange
ment for a display Of fish and fsh breeding apparatus
will be under the administration Of the Bureau Of
Agriculture.
