 Lammebmuir Sheep Fabming : A Young Sheep Farmer. In 

 answer to your first query—" What is the principal disease 

 to which hogs in the Lammermuirs are subject V* the answer 

 i« the same which appears to be your greatest scourge on the 

 Cheviots, "sickness," a malignant, inflammatory fever, 

 apparently the same malady known on the Continent a 

 Sana de rag*\ very rarely cured, the first visible s optom 

 generally being to find the animal dead. 2d. "What loss 

 have your neighbours sustained during the pastyear ?"— This 

 weoaaeot answer positively. Many men will not tell their 

 losses, or only speak of them in the general as very heavy, 

 moderate, light, &c. We know of two cases this winter, 

 where 'he loss from " sickness" has been about 10 per cent., 

 and the third, where it has been about 5 per cent., but from 

 a different cause. In these instances the hogs received 

 Turnips. 3d. What we generally lost previous to following 

 the custom Of covering them with flannel jackets? Since 

 occupying in this district, with the exception of the first year, 

 we have used jackets, and our annual loss has never exceeded 

 5 per cent, in any year, the average being about 3J per cent. 

 Our predecessor at one time suffered severely from "sick- 

 new," when the hogs ware "hireeled" separately. He then 

 changed his system. The stock ewe hogs were kept from 

 the ewes some two or three weeks after being weaned, and 

 then brought back, most of them taking up with their dams, 

 and keeping beside them all the winter. After adopting 

 this plan, except during some of the "bad years," when 

 many died from poverty, his loss was very trifling. We con- 

 tinue to manage ours in the same way, and, a3 far as we 

 recollect m present, have in no year lost above half a score 

 from M sickness. " We believe wherever this system has been 

 followed It has been attended with similar results. We will 

 not presume to assert that jaeketing will of itself prevent 

 this disease, but we will say, that these covers, from their 

 non-conduetinjr properties, strengthen the constitution, and 

 Improve the general health, such being confessedly trie best 

 safeguards against every malady. A Lammermuir Sheep Fanner 

 Paint : B B, in reply to " brush's n inquiry regarding Carson's 

 auti-c trrosion paint for inside work, info ms him that he 

 has used it for the Inside walls of a greenhouse, a hothouse, 

 and also of a church, tbe latter of which were exceedingly 

 damp ; and although it did not wholly prevent or destroy 

 the moisture, it succeeded better than any other previously 

 used. For the back walls of a greenhouse, <kc, M B. B." can 

 confidently recommend it, but would advise a greater propor- 

 tion of turpentine with the>oll than is used for outside painting. 



COVEN T GARDEN, MAT 17. 

 Hothouse Grapes are plentiful and cheap, and the same 

 remai k applies to Strawberries. Pine-apples are more abun- 

 dant. Dessert Apples chiefly consist of American Newtown 

 Pippins. Oranges and Lemons are plentiful. Nuts remain 

 nearly the same as last week. Vegetables of all kinds are 

 abundant and good. Large supplies of Asparagus, young 

 Carrots, French Bean-, and Green Peas have been received 

 daring the week from France, Cucumbers from Holland, and 

 considerable quantities of Potatoes and Asparagus from Corn- 

 wall, as well as some good Gooseberries : the latter fetch Is, to 2s. 

 per pottle. New Potatoes may be obtained at from 4d. to 6d. per 

 pound ; old kinds realise better prices. Lettuces and other 

 galadlng are sufficient for the demand. The best Mushrooms 

 fetch Is. 3d. per pottle. Cut flowers consist of Heaths, Pelar- 

 goniums, Camellias, Mignonette, Double Primroses, Stepha- 

 notis floribanda, Cinerarias, Moss and Provins Roses.

SMITHFIELD, Monday, May 12. 

 We have a very large supply of fine oxen, and the trade for 

 them is exceedingly dull. A few choice Scots still make 3s. 6d., 

 but on the average prices are lower, and many remain unsold. 

 Th*re is also a conpiderable increase in tbe number of hheep 

 and Lambs; contrary to general expectation, the demand is 

 small and although there is a disposition to take lower rates, 

 they cannot all be sold. Trade is very dull for Calves at less 

 money. From Hcliand and Germany there are 510 Beasts. 1510 

 Sheep,' IDS Calves, and GO Pigs; from Norfolk ara Suffolk, 

 30(»0 Beast3 ; and from Scotland, 600.

Fbiday, May 16. 

 There is a more cheerful trade for Beasts to-day, but prices 

 are no better on the average. The supply of Sheep and Lambs 

 is not large, but quite adequate to the demand. Prices have 

 advanced a little, owing to the dead markets being clearer. 

 We have now so lew Sheep in the wool we cease to quote them. 

 Trade is still dull for Calve3 ; however, a few choice ones have 

 made 4s. From Germany and Holland we have 98 Beasts, 

 650 Sheep, and 231 Calves; from Spain, 100 Sheep; from

MARK LANE. 

 Monday, May 12. — The supply of English Wheat this morn- 

 ing was moderate, and readily disposed of at the extreme prices 

 ot last Monday. A fair amount of business was transacted 

 in foreign at that day's rates. Flour was held for an advance of 

 6d. to Is. per sack.—Barley was in fair request, and its value 

 well supported.— The arrivals of Oats have exceeded 49,000 qrs. 

 The sale today was not so brisk as on Friday last, bu: the im- 

 j provement of 6d. per qr. obtained at the close of last week was 

 maintained.— Beans and Peas must be quoted Is. dearer.

Friday, May 16.— There was a very short supply of English 



Wheat at market this morning, and Mon ay's quotations were 

 readily obtained. The receipts of foreign Wheat exceed 14,000 

 quarters ; holders were firm in tbeir demands, and former 

 prices were realised.— There was no alteration in the value of 

 English Barley ; foreign being in good supply, was obtainable 

 on rather better terms than on Monday.— We have again to 

 report rather large arrivals of foreign Oats ; the demand, 

 however, being good, the dealers were unable to supply them- 

 selves cheaper than on Monday.— Beans and Peas remain firm.
