Perseverance,.

A swallow in the spring
Came to our granary, and meath the
caves
Essayed to make a nest, and there did
bring
Wet earth and straw and leaves.
Day after day she-toiled
With patient art, but ere her work was
crowned
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric
spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But. not cast down, forth from the
place she few,
And with her mate fresh earth and
grasses brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on it's ample floor.
When wicked hand, or chance, again
laid waste
And wrought the ruin DER.
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again-and last night, hear
ing calls,
looked-and 10! three swallows slept
Within the earth made walls.
What truth is here, o man!
Hath hope been smitten in it's early
dawn?
Have clouds o'ercast thy purpose, trust,
or plan?
Have faith, and struggle on:

Chicago, June 15.-Hogs again
touched $40 today a few lots Of choice
mixed and heavles selling at that fig
ure. Most grades advance 10 cents on
a strong market.
Packers are getting convincing evil
dence that the hogs they expected in
June went to the shambleS in May.
Nine cent prediction is no longer
heard. The June run is falling behind
that of a year ago and there are many
signs that the winter crop has been
closely garnered. There will be run
of grass widows in July. but it will
be wanted. Prices were high early in
May and most growers refused to
OVerstay a good market.
Cattle.
Cattle trade was weak, calves alone
showing slight advance.
Western Cattlemen expect 50 mar
ket for fat grassers. and no logical rea-
son can be advanced. why they should
not get il. They will gather beef
Sparingly, as young cattle are hard to
replace and the roundup in the north
west is not likely to catch more bull
ocks than last year. Aged cattle are
scarce everywhere and good prices
will be necessary to draw young stuff.
Chicago territory will require an I'M
usually large number of feeders If corn
cribs are filled next fall and that de-
mand will create keen competition for
killers. There exists a possibility that
the run from southwestern pastures
may be punched but II is a foregone
conclusion that all high dressing range
cattle will get good prices. Packers
are in the habit of showing preference
and will be eager for the advance
guard which will show UP in July. II
western Canada has any big range cat
tie ~ send TO Chicago this year they
will get a warm welcome as the grade
of corn fed bullocks with which they
compete were never as scarce. The
prospect is decidedly luminous. with
indications that every pound Of beef
the country can scrape together will
be wanted. -
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were not in de-
mand and prices turned lower.
Record prices on all classes of ovine
stock have been established this sea-
son and it is only natural for the ex-
pectation Of a reaction, but the Am
erican public has cultivated a taste for
dressed lamb which is not easily APP
peaSed
The production has fallen down to
the minimum and it will take more
than one season to bring it back to
normal. so that there is no fear of any
bad years in the near future.
Other classes of live stock are SELL
ing comparatively high ard there is
no reason To expect any cheap mutton
under such conditions.
