The committees were appointed and the
premium lists arranged, nearly the same as
last year. Two new departments were
added The poultry, with ID. f. Tasker as
superintendent; and the dairy and butter
test, with George w. Pierce as superin-
tendent. 1t is probable that building for
the latter department will be erected. The
amount in premiums offered will be the
same as last year, with probable increase
in the cookery department. Aryshires,
Devons and Herefords were added to the
list of cattle eligible to premiums.
1t was voted to abolish the premiums on
grade bulls, as it was not deemed eXpedi-
ent to encourage the development OF scrub
cattle" There was some discussion in re-
gard to abolishlng the premiums on grade
