Among the attractions in Agricultural
Hall Is the collection of potatoes exhibit
ted by Donald Mcdonald, of Glenwood
Township. 1t consists of 26 different
varieties, and is by all odds the best
collection we ever saw, we Will not al
tempt to describe any of the lot, but
will only say that the Mcdonald seeding
propogated by him frmo the seed in this
County is now five years old, and Is as
fine potatoe as can be found anywhere.
MIR. M. has a wagon load of this variety
on the grounds which he offers for sale
for seed, and our citizens who cOntem-
| plate planting next year would do well
to avail themselves of this opportunity
to get the seed of this fine variety.
The grand success Mr.. Mcdonald has
made in this business certainly entities
him to the name we have applied to
him-The Potatoe King. Below we
give a list of different varieties in his
collection.

The show of hogs is much better than
ever before. E. F, Hughes has some
fine Poland pigs; A. F. Walker of Mound
shows two fine Poland China hogs-one
of which he received from Ohio last fall
and has apedigree, Thos Forger also
has two very fine hogs of same
breed. We noticed two pigs at least
crossed with the Jersey Red; did not
learn who the exhibitor was. II. Me
DOWell also had fine SOW and pigs. A
pen of Berkshire hogs exhibited by
Mr.. Hahnenkratt attracted much atten-
ton; they are fine ones; are full blood
with pedigree. Mr.. II. is now prepared
to furnish these pigs to anyone who may
wish them. Address him at Phillips
