Mr. Wiley is now in his 93rd year, and bids fair, in all seeming, to put in for a 100. Flitoh, fleece, and Hank, havo all been the objects of his cate. He waa intimate, r.nd, so to speak, a cotomporary of the Brothers Calling, from whom he derived much of hit best herd and flock blood. His dainty Leicester gimmera have held their own for many years, both in Royal and Yorkshire competitions ; and 60 or 70 of his rams been spread annually among the Yorkshire and other flocks. There is Also hardly a pen of prize sm»U whito pigs which has not a dash of Wiley blook in their veins. N« man has had more successes in the lump in these branches of farm stock."
