BRINE FOR BATHING THE FEET OF

which keeps the feet moist. Salt operates
nearly like melted grease upon the foot,
The hoof becomes tough, yet pliable. Like
a chunk of wood saturated with salt or

practice of rasping . crackedhoofto tougher

adopted the use of brine as a remedy, which
proved efectual.

The breeders of shorthorns in Kansas
have formed themselves into an association
for the purpose of promoting the shorthorn
interest in that State. The next annual
meeting is fixed at Topeka, January 18th,
1877. About $50 Herd-Book animals We're
represented at the meeting, and it was esti-
mated that there are now in Kansas ove~
500 registered shorthorns.
On Wednesday, June Is, the first Of a
series of shorthorn sales took place at Pro-
vincial fair grounds, Toronto, Ont, being
the joint sales of the Messrs. the Hon. M. III.
Cochrane, of Compton, 7. O., Mr.. Simon
Beattie, of Toront, and Mr.. John Hope, of
Markham, Ont. The weather was all that
could be desired, and the arrangements most
excellent. The cattle were in most perfect
condition, and taken altogether, were as fine
a lot of animals as could be found anywhere,
The attendance of breeders was good,
though not as large as from the high class
of the stock, was to be expected. Of course
the I'd Airdrie Duchesses, were a great CEN
tire of attraction, and created some very keen
competition, Mr.. Emory Cobb being the
starter in both cases at $4,000, Mr.. Thorn
ton, of England, bidding up to $4,000 for
each animal for some English breeders.
They were eventually sold for 1923. 900 and
$4,000 respectively, to Mr.. Albert Crane,
of Durham Park, Kansas. Two Wild Eyes
were sold for $4,000 and So, 1000.

WOOL.
The market has been quiet almost to dull
ness the past week, but this is usually the
case in the last week in June, and little may
be expected in the way of sales for a week
or ten days to come. The market still shows
some ~irregularity in prices. There is some
old wool still in the market, and the new
clip is now coming in, but there is consider
able difference of opinion among dealers and
spinners as to values. From 35 to SIC seems
to be the range for Ohio Xxx fleece. There
are some manufacturers looking round the
market and making some selections where
samples suit, but none seem to be free buy
ers. Sellers are disposed to meet the views
of cash buyers, but little inclined to make
sales or time. Advices fir ON San Francisco
state that the whole quantity Of new wool
received since March 1st, foots up "a, 0OO, 900
pounds, with sales of 2,000,0 900 pounds to

merit. Exhibitors whose stock receives the
commentator Of the judges will represent

supplementary to these will be presented
the bronze medal of the commission.
The judges in each group will also make
a general report upon the characteristics Of
each breed, special reference being made to
animals exhibited Of superlative merit.
These reports will be embodied with the re-

BREEDING FROM Young SwINE.-The
practice of breeding from young sows, a
common one in all sections should be utter
~ condemned. If continued in the same
family for a few generations of swine, they
will be found to dwindie down from three
TO four hundred pound hogs to animals that
will weigh only two or three hundred
pounds. 1t is much better to keep the sows
three or four years, and even much longer.
Sows have been kept some fifteen years to
advantage. Swine are several years in COM
