Poland Chinaj Pigs.
The question is freque My asked, what
makes or coniaitutes a Po end China hog?
From what were they originally bred? The
breed originated in Southern Ohio in War-
wick and Butler counties in 1837, and was
an established breed in 1840. They are
produced from four pure and distinct
breeds, three of which arci imported, name-
ly, Poland, Big China, Big Irish Grazier,
and Bayfield. The Poland China hog is ef
fine bone, but large size, combining more
eminently, than any other excellenciea of
both large and small breeds, being docile,
excellent breeders, feeders and sucalers, ca-
pable of fattening readily at any age, and
yet attai
fact they
as one ha
usually
from ten to twelve months old, and from
500 to 600 pounds at eitpiteen months of
sge. The Poland China hogs are' dark le
color, usually_black, with small white, pro-
ma:cm:lee spots; however, i they usually have
mono white in the face and about the legs
and feet, They have long bodies, short
necks, iheavy jowls, short, square heavy
shoulders, broad deep hams, frequently
overlying the hock joins. They have no
flabby, hin belly meatt but are thick in
front of ham, and have very little offal
when fat. They are strong and, hardy in
constitution, and will make more pounds of
pork for a bushel ef corn taan any other
breed of hogs in America,.

and business became dull. The best cattle sold at
Bic to 4c, and medium 3e. The large offerings of in-
ferior fitock had no call, some going at 2e, but the
bulk were unsold. It'is this class of cattle which is
acting as a wet blanket on the market. Sheep and

to 33.00, and the latter 63.50 to $5, or about Sic to
Sfe, and 4 to 4e per lb, and calves sold at $2.60 to

per head •, two pretty fair sprineers were taken at
$32.50 each. Sheep and Lambs—This trade is faiily
active and the supply, though light, is equal to tbe

PRESS NOTICES..
Miss Aggie Gilmour in her renditions of Scottish
ballads, is without a superior in Canada. Her voice
is full and free, with much of that deep pathos 10
essential to the proper irenderingof Scottish songs;
nd
it covers a large eompaes, as Felt sweet. The
'faith and loyalty which she infused into "Bonnie
Prince Charlie," the tenderness of "Doon the Burn,"
or the humor and spirit of "Dolly's Revenge," have
never been equalled in Blenheim. For the latter she
was called back to give the old favorite, "Comire
thro' the Ilye."—Blenheini News.
When Association Hall is crowded in every part, as
was the case last night, 11 1, certain the attraction is
very great. The miserable damp, clammy atmos-
phere and muddy etreetelivere not such as would in-
vite people out of doors, yet in epite of these draw-
backs, when Miss Jessie Alexander came on the plat-
form there was not an inch of spare room in the ca-
pacious building, and the largest audience enthusias-
tically welcomed the aczoinprishecl favorite. For
fully two hours the vast audience was entertained,
being at times held spell -bond, as with word pictures
Miss Alexander reproduced to the mental vision the
"Royal Bowman" ;and again the reat crowd was
convulsed with laughter as the doings of "Jenks'
Phonograph" were recounted. No greater testimony
to Miss Alexander's remarkable ability can be given
than the bare statement of the -simple fact that, with -
mat any assistance in music or otherwise, this one
artiste entertained the great multitude present teat
night for fully two hours without a single hitah or
unnecessary delay in the programme. The selection
of reseilegs and recitations had been made with great
care, and contained just the right proportimes of
" grave, gay, and medium."—Toronto Mail. 1252-1
