We desire to record very briefly our admiration for the life he has lived. for the service he has rendered Methodism. His has been a long and successful ca. rem, beginning among the rugged pio- neers,who laid the foundation of Canadi- an Methodism, briuging on him embod- ied in a unique personality the inspira- tion of their zeal and consecration. We look upon his manly, upright,rl,�io. bt, and sterling principles with a feeling of admiration, principles perhaps some- what in contrast to the spirit of the. times in which we now live. Bro. Mills has filled important pulpits; in fast • in this capacity he has been a tower of strength and had it not been for his re- tiring disposition he doubtless would have been even more to the front in the. work of the church. He retires from the active work with the esteem and love of his brethren. We hope he may long be spared to come in and out among us in our district and confer- ence gatherings to keep before 'the minds of us who are younger the ideal personality of our loved Methodismpro ducted in the years that are gone We bespeak for him long; years of. compos- ure and happiness in the bosom of his own family and when his work is done he may be gathered fully ripe for the garner of God."

Why me11 Lean CattI!'.? Western Ontario farmers have in re- cent weeks been selling many " stock- ers " to be sent to the Western States to feed up for the British market. Is brie it not better tog the corn here, and feed and market the cattle our- selves? If it is profitable for United States dealers to buy Canadian cattle and ship them to Illinois, and then feed and transport them to Great Brit- ain, it should be more profitable. for our farmers, placed on equal footing a,s to feed, to fatten the animals here and pocket the profits that have been going to their 'Yankee competitors who finish the raw material eupplied from the Canadian farm.—London' Advertiser.

At first the mention of green shoes was the subject for all the wits and caricaturists of the country to sharpen their pencils and get to.� work on them, Then they were argu- ed against and frowned down by those who professed to know what was a fait in these matters. In spite of redicule and the head -shaking,, green shoes are here, and if indications bold out, will remain gpme time. At first everybody seemegreed that the fad would be confined to the more'. sober shades of dark olive and bottle, but the latest report credits apple green as the thing.
