ten cents per pound was offered; bull most 
farmers, thinking prices would rise as they 
had llie season before, refused to sell for that, 
and kept holding on, anxiously awaiting a 
tise. Pork was ail the while going lower, 
owing, probably, to the great, number of 
hogs Irom the West, and the abundant corn 
crop there. The result was, that after the 
hogs had been kept many weeks longer than 
owners intended, and had mudo heavy 
drafts on a slim corn crop, they were finally 
sold for from eight to nine and a-lmlf cents 
per pound. The pork market was very dull, 
and it seemed almost impossible to dispose 
of them at auy price.

following extracts from a report we find iu

Mr. Owen believed that seventy-five bush¬

Messrs. Ross and Crowder recommended 
the occasional use of smart-weed tea mixed 
with the food as an excellent corrective. 
POIIS. 
The subject of pons was discussed, all 
participants agreeing that they should be 
light and airy. For bedding, dry earth, dry 
leaves, and course, wild liny were all recom¬ 
mended; dry earth, from its properties of 
holding the liquid manure, was especially 
commended.
