but had not lost his grunt 10 LET you know

different breeds. Here is where Ring

further on brought him to Canadian ex-
hibitor, and after going through the usual
preliminaries as TO the virtues OF his par

Tor all the Canadian could spare OF the
Oxiords.
Prices ranged around $500 per sheep.

90 cattle was such that you could not tell
one from the other.
The prize car-lot brought Is cents per

averaged around Is cents. The time IN

that the place should be Hanisonburg,
