departure from our midst, of gather-
ing together to formally bid you fare-
well. During .the score of years in
which you have so faithfully served
the section; you have been to us far
more than an ordinary friend. Not
only in professional duties, but in
every other sphere of ,activity in the
cominunity in which you have been
called upon to take an actiVe part
you have given generously of the
very best of your ability and energy
had to offer. You have worked heart
and soul with never failing energy
for the common good. Those of us
who as children at school fell under
yoge influence and paternal care have
in later years come to a fuller realiza-
tion of the high value of the training
you then gave us. Not only by your
teaching ability but by your fine ex-
ample and sound advice did you instil
into our young and plastic minds a
desire for accomplishments and for
the higher and nobler things in life.
Those of us, who, as parents, had
children at school, watched with com-
plete satisfaction and full confidence
the development of the younger minds

more might be said in well merited
praise were we to enlarge upon the
subject but we wish you, Mr. john -
sten, to realize that we do appreci-
ate to the lull whatyouhave meant
to our section, both as a teacher and
a member of the community. With
this 'subject in view we ask you to
accept this chair, not so much for its
-material or practical value, although
we hope it may be the source of
many, many hours of solid comfort
for you, but more as a token of the
high esteem in which you are held by
us and of our appreciation of your
services. Our prayers and best
wishes follow you to your new field
of labor and we know your work there
will merit and meet with a reward

LIVE STOCK MAlaile
Union Stock Yards, Toronto, August
Buyers had a fairly Mg selection of cattle
•
to operate amongst this morning, and for
this reason chieffy the trade WAS not SO keen
and active as last weak, when the consign-
ments 'were very liMited. While theft was
an easier tendency the values paid for killers
were much the mune as it week except in
the case of choice light butchers, which were
scarce and met a shade firmer trade. Am
usual, good quality killers made up only
'trifling percentage of the offering, which in -
eluded a lot of big but "green" cattle. The
clean up was fairly good although common
quality stuff tequired a let of peddling. The
best load of eteers on the market was shipped
by W. Curtis, of Grand 'Valley, to the United
Farmers aed sold for 144i cents per pounds
The saers averaged 1;150 pounds. Rice
end• Whaley secured $14.5e., per kundred
Pounds for 18 steers which- ase:cdged 1;240
Pounds. Other Iota of steent meshed in from
318.75 to 314 per cwt. Beet fat cows and
• good belie were comparatively easy to ma* -
'et, but 'common and in-between cows and
thin bulls were dream,.
• Zig &MSS fee idetittee *dor
fair but there was *sly vent Wing MI
for thin cattle. Milkers were active and
-steady,
Yeats and sheep met a eteady trade, though
very few choice calves cesited in at 20 cents
per pound, values or best vents at 19 to
191/4 cents Per Pound being more common.
LaInhe opened slow and 50 cents wreaker and
there were further recessions later, and at
the close Iambs were 80 cents to
tower, atcording to quallti.
Packer -buyers offered $19.25 Loh. for hobs,
but the shipment was • so light as to make
any recession practically 'impossible, and the
market firmed with fed and watered hogs at
from $20.75 to .$21-. At least one hundred
hogs were sold to outside packers at 320
The receipts were 216 carloads, With 8,907
