Born in Hessedra'ntstad, Germany, in 1867, he ante to 'Canada with his 'parents when about two pears of age, arriving. in New 'York after a voyage of six weeks. They went to !Zurich where his mother's sister lived, and then to Lisbon, near Wellesley. After the death of his father, wHen''he was nine years of age, they moved to'Stanley where Mr. Snider attended the, late,. George Baird's school on the second concession of Stanley. They returned later to Zurich, where he learned the trade of harness -making with Her- man Wells, with whom' he remained for three. years. He worked ten hours a day and two hours after 'supper and received $1100' for the three years' services. At the end of that period he watched the advertisements in the paper and got a job with E. H. Gull- edge, in 'Oakville. After working there a year and four months he came to Brucefield. on August 20;, 11388, and started 'business in the har- ness shop which he purchased 'from Frank 'O'Neil, and has carried on there continuously for half a century, in recent years adding shoes to his stook in trade. 'Mr. Snider was the first person in this part of the coun- try to'have a 'bicycle. He bought it from M. R. Counter in Seaforth for $85. After that he sold wheel's and in .11893 disposed of fifty wheels , in Bnucefield. It was nothing unusual to ride to London and back in a day. Football and bicycle racing were the main sports of that time. Conditions, he said, were altogether different fifty years ago—nothing but horses and buggies. He sold a lot of harness and buggies. Trade was busi- est about the 24th of May and the !list of Judy,' when the young men wanted to take their girls out. Now he. doesn't sell any.

VARNA The following is from the Cereal Recorder, Cereal, Alberta, and refers. to a 'brother of Mrs. A. McConnell of this village: Dr. E;ler is dead, A friend of hu- manity and a messenger of mercy to those who suffered 'from pain and dis- ease, his loss will 'he mlourned by this community and 'the surrounding .lis tricts for years to come. A great 'diag- nostician, a successful physian, and a brilliant and skillful surgeon, he serv- ed the people living in the territory of which Cereal was the centre, with a devotion and .faithfulness seldom equalled and will be most difficult to surpass. In the discharge of his duties he never let personal consideration, weather or roads hinder him front reaching the 'bedside of any sufferer from clisease or accident, the impelling urge of ,his life as proven time and again, 'being to restore' the stricken ones' to health if at all possible. He 'is, gone and a whole community mourns, 'but bis memory will be enshrined in the hearts of those who knew him un- til time shall cease. Born In Blake, Ont., on 'Dec, .6th, 118913, of Irish descent and a Scottish mother, he in herited the sterling qualities of both these sturdy races.

An oversup- ply of poor lambs resulted in a serious drop on all lamb markets, and while the situation has partly corrected it- self, the 'market is still sensitive to weakness if producers continue to ' market undesirable 'lam'bs. As a rule ,lambs from the more com- mon domestic 'breeds of sheep do not finish for market at farm weights 'Un- der 90 pounds to 1100.pounds i080 to 90 lb. at the market). Before 'selling lambs it is always 'wise to ,use the scales. This is particularly important at the :present time so that the sale of underweight 'lamb's may be avoided. Good early lambs are in demand at all stockyard centres, packing plants and city markets. Lamm, meat is an especial favourite in the home, at tour- ist centres, and in hotels and restaur- ants, When it is ;said that 'lamb is a Iwo poplar meat, this means good to choice lamb from well finished car- casses, Light, unfinished lambs do not produce the kind of meat that is rel- ished by tourists or by the Canadian 'people. Poor 'Iambs are not good sell- ers and: are unsatisfactory to all sec- tions of the trade, including the con- sumer. This year pastures are excel. - lent all over Canada and there is no farm animal that puts on cheaper gains than the growing lamb on good grass. All farmers can increase the value of their lambs by a closer check-up in weights and marketing at the right time. Announcement! THE M. L.
