The exhibit will comprise colts heifers, pigs and poultry, wLich bave been raised on Geneial Pleasanton's farm under tbe blue-glass treatment.Tbe object is to demonstrate the extraordinary developments Which have been achieved in raising farm stock under tbe influence ot thejassociated blue and transparent glass. The general claims tbat a colt born under the associated lights on June 6,1861, and three years aDd two months old, bas obtained a development of bone, muscle and form which will compare favorably with the majority of colts of five years. The heifers, under similar influences, have been reared in contra-distinction to tbe rearinv ot special animals from tbe Britisn Channel islands in special strains by intermingling the progeny of different crosses' upon a third cross. Tbe cross of the Chester county white and Englisb Berkshire pigd produces a variety superior to either in prolific bearing, beauty of form and delicacy ol flesh. A sow of this cross produced three litters in ten months under the influence of these lights. In poultry, a yield of epgs and the increqfoed size of the birds manifest a large development much greater than under the ordinary treatment.
