The only Ring invented that will effectually prevent Hogs from Rooting. Be- 
ing a Double Rmg, and having no sharp points In the flesh, it does not cause Ir- 
ritation or soreness, as in other Rings. The smooth part of the wire being in the 
nnse, It heals rapidly. One of our rings being equal to two or three of any other 
ring, makes this ring cheaper than the cheapest. Time and money saved lij using 
the Champion. One operation, and the work is done.
