aud shafts Of outrageous fnrtuhe" with great
equineimity, even down to old age the com
petition between members of the family and
others familiar with their good qualities, ac-
counts for the high figures at which they sold.
But this can scarcely be sajd of the cows, and
certainly not of the swine. for one hog is as
good ms another, and litter better too, if he
weighs more Common miIch cews--and
when we say common" we mean that they
were neither Durhams nor Deyons-sold for
from forty to ffty-fve dollars Nine fat

each, sold for three hundred and fifty dollars
or nearly $50 per hundred One runty SOW

ably fine looking SOW sold for S35
The sale was on twelve months credit,
with well secured notes bearing eight Ter
cent. interest.
We attended the sale in the hope of secur-
ing bovine quadrsped that would afford the
lactean fluid but it is scarcely necessary to
say that we returned home as succorless o
weaned calf The COW we bought had very
short horns, and the porker we secured will
