The Droyers Journal remarks that there
is but little difference between prices for
choice corn'ied natives and good grass Tex
ans.
A gross mistake made by many sheep.
men is to designate rams as bucks, which
according to Webster, are male deer. When
speaking OF male sheep the word ram
should always be used. Though the other
Is rather popular, II Is a yulgarism.
III Is toiefably certain, says An exchange,
thnt ualiowhy cattle were originally horned
anu that the cause OF the present hornless
condition Of the breed was the appearance,
about 100, OF a few polled cattle, which
SOLD so much better than the horned ami
maj that breeders successfully turned their
attention to celebrating the horns by sc.
lection and the knife at an early age.
The Chicago Times says Cattle receipts
continue very large for the season, being
several thousand head ahead OF last week,
and prices declined loo per cwt yesterday

Liverpool correspondent of The
Dr0vers' journal writes as follows: Lambs
have rapidly regained their place in the
trade. since the announcement that her
me1esty didn't mean it," In several
places they sold rs high rs 30 to 6Us per
head this week, equal say to over Sll to Sl3

la-,hs IN the Chevio. hills There is also
reported heavy mortality al Sng older
sheep. In the meantime store sheep are
ruling high, and lat sheep remain firm at
the present high figures. Ireland is deCid-
eddy short OF sheep; the best shorn sheep

papers are advocating the use of kid in the
place OF lamb, and one of the attractions al
the next goat show at the Crystal Palace
will be a kid dinner. Mr.. j. Holmes Peg
Ter, secretary to the British Goat society,
writes that 1t does seem absurd in the ex-
IRENE that while lamb is now fetching the
price II now commands in the market, and
our locks are so reduced in number rs TO
call forth movement in high places to ar
rest the consumption of that delicacy for
the sake OF future supplies, that the flesh
OF the kid is so little thought of rs sub
stitnte as to find no sale even at Cd and Cd
per pound. Such Is, however, the fact, and
there are undoubtedly many butchers in
the metropolis who make a fine profit by
purchasing young goats or G months old
and selling them at high figures ny lamb
