(‘OIVN'ITY FAIRS, AGAIN., The Reviewer in last week’s BANNER ljeads his article, “Cattle,” in distincetion from that of the week ‘before, on “Horses.” Buthegiyes us just onehalf column on cattle and drifts right back to his one ‘iaé'fu, fast horses, and, after more than a column of horseracing, he happens to do somethingi at “‘reviewing criticisms.” ~ Wouldn’t it have been well for him, however, to be sure of the gl‘m}lfi)d he Atands on, before “rushing into pEat?” He has had plenty of time since last fall’'s articles were published, to be sure of his points and look up his authorities. In his first, he ecalls the Percheron and Norman horses, two distinet breeds, while a novice in horse history, like myself, knows that the Percheron is but a strain of the Norman blood. In his second, he speaks of the Duchess and Durham breéds of cattle, wlren- he ought to know, that the Duchess is but a strain of the Durham. e quotes the sale of the $40,000 cow.. Doesn’t he know that that was a’jockeyed sale? That the cow was “sold but not delivered ?” That the man who bought was sold also ?

“In the outset of his second article,-j quoting my remarks on native cattle, he says, “I am not sure I understand j this exactly.” -Lam sure he does not. | He has not been careful enough in his ; reading about cattle and farm horses,e% if he has regarding the race course, to fit him for “the place which he proposes to take as judge in this matter, | however well he may be for jockey’s I attorney. Were it intimated to him, that certan animals of a kind do impart to their progeny their marked ‘i charaeteristics,and are highly esteemed in consequence, and that others of that ! kind have not that power, and are regarded lightly thér’efore, he might be | willihg to admit it as to horses, but;[ would he, could he, of his own knmowl- | edge, say it was so of any other ani- | mals? But for his benefit, we can say E that it-is true regarding cattle, and i even native cattle. Cows without any | known noble blood in their veins, are i

on record as excelling for milk ‘and hutter, quantity and quality, and had the power of transmitting to their off® spring and had there béen the same pains-taking with them- as given to the Durham for beef, the Ayreshire for milk, and the Jersey for butter, there never would have been the prices paid for other cattle spoken of by’ the Reviewer, or at least any necessity for it. It is only by a long and czuf}:ful course, running through many generations, selecting and breeding from those only who show a marked degree of the quality sought for, that that quality can be said to be fixed, ‘and this is what the several breeds spoken of, have received. So that Reviewe_i* may “understand this exaetly,” we say that whenever a farmer finds an animal of marked characteristics in any desirable quality, be it horse, hog, or cow, even. in a native, let him take pains to develop it, fix it, and he will receive his reward. : ,

What I hoped to suggest to to the farming eommunity was that in giving premiums for milk and bu’tter, the native cow should not be ruled out, because she was a native. That we might glorify our own .country productions when they were worthy of it.

-To go back to the first article of ' Reviewer. In quoting mine, Sayi'ng, slet; the horse trot or run singly, against time,” Reviewer s:.tyé the ract as at present conducted, is necessary to bring out, prove the speed and endurance of the animal, qualities which are essential in the horse, and, above all, have their mbney’s worthi Can his speed be shown to better advantage where the novice of whips and yells of frantie drivers, with the keen cut on side.and flank, and jerk of cruel Dbit. all combine .to bereave both horse and looker-on of their better sense ? Or his endurance, by the same process? The same reasoning has been given in Englaud regarding colts, and it is said there is hardly'; a sound one in the kingdom, in consequence of these necessary tests, : ;

Endurance! The horse does endure through all this, what his owner or driver would be called a coward and a woman for, were he to display any sign of resentment at his cruel treatment, he would be branded as vieious and given over'to the whip. But Reviewer compares prices of native stock with imported breeds. While I believe in the best stock obtainable by the farmer, I also believe and know that more or less of these large prices are fictitious. And I would not insinuate like Reviewer that the farmer of this @untry can originate nothing, has only the capacity of copying, of playing second fiddle to the farmer of other countries. As to the statements regarding necessity of obtaining premiums through horse-racing and side-shows, there is a fixed, ineradicable difference of opin-

ion between men of his stamp and men of mine, and all that may be said on either side, will fail to convince the other. But is the one sentiment or the other in t¥e majority among us? We well know that one is in power, and it looks-very much as though by these “straight heats” just before the election of officers for the Agricultural Society, for, another year, that that one means to keep in power. .
