There centimes to be a fair enquirsr for Manitoba barley, but owing to the sharp advance in prices of fully 5cper bushel in. Winnipeg, on account_ of the increased demand, exporters could not workanyfurtber business, Owing to the fact that stocks of oats on spot are the largest on record for this season of the Year, a weaker feeling prevails in the market, and prices are 33c lower, with only a small trade doing. Flour is steady, with -a fair demand. Rolled oats have declined 400 per barrel. Millfeed is fair- ly active. Demand for butter is fair.

Lloyd O'Brien, Harry Shannon and; two brothers of the latter fell'under the ban issued some months ago in their home town of Dunshaughen in' county Meath. Owing to the exces- sive number of bachelors in the neigh- borhood,the Town Council resolved to give everyone a chance to marry and then, if they still remained obdurate, to get rid of them. It was claimed that the general prosperity and wel- fare of the community demanded a diminution in the abnormal number of single, 1 len. So seventy-nine glar- ing cases were especially named and given notice that they must marry inside of six months or depart for pas- tures new.

The Dorset horn sheep is one of the oldest'of the 'English breeds. Original- ly it was large,•long legged' and rather chaise, and both sexes bad horns the same,as they have now, writes F. 0. Sibley in American Cultivator. l f- forts'wet'e subsequently made to im; prove' the breed by mingling the blood of other maces, but without success. It. therefor°e has practically the same ap- pearance today as formerly, .only it is more refined, the form being similar to that of the Southdown, with added 'size and;less symmetry. . As can be seen in the accompanying illustration,' the horns of the ram are ' very large and curve spirally forward, while those, of the ewe are much light- er and cure forward and inward rath- er in front of the eyes. These ere not a superfluity" by any means either, for their possessors ,are generally inclined to be. pugnacious and stand- for their own rights, espedaily when strange dogs come about, even perhaps to tak- ing the aggressive and driving the in- truders from the field. This trait is liable to be strongly manifested when the ewe has a young lamb. They are not "dog proof," however,. , for dogs that are already trained sheep killers will work great havoc among them,. only owing to their horns they will put up a hard fight before succumbing. .A. flock of them makes a fine appear. mice anywhere, and when well bred they will shear about the same as the Shropshire., the wool commandinges good a price as that of any of the English breeds. But their greatest value lies in the production of early lambs.
