England.

pings from Jas. Kirkham who il at pre-
sent laboring in the Doncaster Confer
ence, England. 1t il notes from the
Royal Agricultural Show held during
the latter part Of June, and which we
think might be interesting to some OF
our readers:
THE PRIZE MONEY.
Tho total value OF money prizes offered
was &C, 1907, in addition TO which there
were two champion gold medals offered
by the Hackney horse Society for the
best hackney stallion and the best hack
ney mare; two champion gold medals,
value Els lbs. each, offered by the Shire
Horse Society for the best shire stallion
and the best shire mare or FLY; and two
champion prizes of e22 each for the best
Clydesdule stallion and Tor the best
Olydesdalc mare or hlly, offered by the
Clydcsdale Horse Society; NO that the
actual value OF the prizes IL considerable
over 90, 400. The amount allotted 3
Horses { ,sO5; cattle Gl 800, sheep 81,
100 pigs ei32; poultry c376, imple-
menls c2Sb.
The opening of the implement de-
partment was attended with brilliant
weather. Doncaster In all the pride OF
gorgeous decorations, presented an APP
pearance of animation and although the
show il not thrown open in its entirity
TIL Monday, there has already been q
large influx of people into the town,
most OF whom, however, are bent on
business rather than pleasure The
number of vehicles OF all sorts and sizes
imported into the borough is enormous.
The event which is virtually Inaugural
ted to-day will be invested with add.
tional ecldtby the promised royal visit on
Wednesday next. The presence oiroyal-
ty is always very warmly welcomed at
the meeting OF the Royal, and the
promise Of their Royal liighness the
Prince and Prircess OF Wales to pay a
visit to the show this year is source OF
special qualification, inasmuch as this is
the first time the Princes public engage
ments have allowed him TO honour the
event with his presence since the Jubilee
year, when the meeting was at New castle.
On the latter occasion his Royal llighnese
was accompanied by his two sons, the
Duke OF Clarence and Avondale and
Prince George of Wales, the former OF
whom was elected a member of the So
ciety.

MECHANICAL MILKING.
We are surely on the road to the time
when every man shall be his own COW
keeper, and when the romance Of the
milk maid shall vanish before prosaic
mans inventive genius. Though Mr..
John Gray, OF Stranraer, is the only ex-
hibitor OF the mechanical milking ma

this novel machine are briefly these
For each COW there is a contrivance to
which are attached four polished cows
horns. At the widest end of each
