These men met the shippers at the stock yards in the forenoon, and Mr. Maybee, one of the expert graders, took the farmers'' hogs and showed how they were graded and why. In the afternoon they also' met a' large number of far- mers from the vicinity, and after a "fat thick" side and a "select" one were cut um -showing how these sides were prepared for the British and do- mestic markets, the different cuts were weighed and analyzed, showing the difference in edible products, The demonstration was very informa- tive. Some of the farmers, however, thought the select hogs were very ex- pensive to feed compared to the oth- ers, while other farmers thought tnat with' careful 'breedin• this cost might breeding, ,this eliminated. - DUBLIN.

And on its trail, noi 'backward Will wintet come again, Once more take tip the reign. •
