PINE LEICESTERS.-One day recent-
ly THE POsT scribe made a call at
Oliver Turnbull's, the well known
breeder of Leicester sheep, retie cone
10 500 the exhibit he was preparing for
the Winter Fair, to be held at Guelph
Decentber 9 to 13. It will consist of 8
choice animals, all fide types in good
condition and carrying most excellent
fleeces. He will show a shearling
wither, a pen of 3 etves a pen
of 3 withers and 2 withers
for the block test, Mr. Turnbull
made his debut in the Winter Fair
prize competition lest year when he
captured 6 prizes with 7 sheep, no
small honor when the quantity and
i
quality of the exhibit s taken into
account. At the head of Mr. Turn -
bull's flock is the chore' bred sire
Wiltrid W.'son of imported Winches-
ter and his dain all imported ewe. He
was exhibited at big fairs as far West
as Portland. Oregon, and is certainly
a fine animal. Young rams dispotted
of this year by Mr. Turnbull were ist
prize winners at Chatham, Ridgetown,
Guelph, Galt, Peris, Drembo, Roekton
and other plaeoe. Since our visit one
of the animate , intended for Guelph
Met With an accident which May lessen
the owner's chances for the pen award.
We hope Mr. Turnbull'senterprise, the
wide range of prize list and the amount
01 1110 prize will stimulate other breed.
ne It is an unfortunate season of the
year to be burned out and there is no
timber on the farm to rebuild.
