As it was there was some heavy buying, Wire Levack takiug about 800 head of cattle. There Were a f05Y badfi of the Keret quality cattle left ovet at the close of tho market, but for good cattle former prices were steadily maintained. In the iuferior class of butchers' cattle prices weut off considerably. The top prices for exporters were $5,10 to $5.20: Medium exPort cattle sold at from $4,95 to $5. Good butchers' cattle were steady at $4.50 to $4.65; Common butchers' to ia- ferior were easier at from $13 to p.50 Stockers, light and fair quality, were about steady. Sheep and ]ambs were steady at last week's quotations. Tho hog market is a little firmer at $5.80 top aud $5.55 for lights and fats. The total run for the day was 119 cars, with 2,300 head of cattle, 738 sheep and farms. lambs, 483 hogs and 21 calves. Both were stooped with the exhaust- ing toil of many years, but they saw better times ahead. Said one: "We used to work from 5 in the morning till 9 or 10 at night. We don't do half the day's work now we did then." "If the timber was here now ou some places, as it was then, we would get a pile of money for it." The incident illustrates that the age of this great, smiling Huron tract is spanned easily by the life of au individ- ual. Here was doue some of old Ontar- io's most recent pioneering, aud here aro some of her best farms to -day. There is a saying up here that the farm which shows a larger house thau barn indicates that the woman is "boss" there. Inversely, the county of Huron is ruled by the men. This is the coun- ty of Big Beres; iu other words, the home of the stock farmer. The train from Lotolou, piercing its way through the heart of this western plateau, seems to commit au impertinence in slicing up farms of such richness and of such abun- dant crops. Cattle and apples are the money- makers iu Huron. In the former, Mid- dlesex,letuls the Province, the value of her cattle, sold or slaughtered. in 1902 beiug no less than $1,854,398. Huron was a good secoud, with 42,430 animals, valued at $1,756,002. The country of Grey, another neighbor, was third, with $1,389,419. In the whole Province 673,- 544 animals were disposed of, with a value of $23,340,908. This beats the re- cord, the revenue from the source hav- ing been steadily growing for many years. In 1901 it was $20,286,963, iu 1900 V7,017,989, and in 1896 $12,381,248. It might be remarked here that in horses sold Hnrou led the Province last peer with 3,537 animals, valued at $378,459. This has been a suitable year for cattle, with good pastures aud high prices, and the farmers have profited. A few weeks ago an Ashfield farmer, Mr. James Foley, broke the record by shipping from his own herd 34 animals at once, bringing him 0,300. The hog industry is scarcely less importaut, with sales of about $850,000 yearly. "The farmers will raise stock so long as it is a good price; then they will raise something else," said a local butcher to -day. Bat as the market is widening and the skill of the farmer improving -though this latter fact is geneally ignored by the hog buyer -the present emulation should not change. Along with the favorably stock market come rosy reports of the the feeding grains. Oats have the larg- est acreage of the grain crops, and the land devoted to them every year is in- creasing, with the neglect of peas and wheat. A yield of fifty bushels to the acre is tors I THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1903. is alt A NOTES AND COMMENTS Pieartthe vacancy on the' supreme court L'Imich. created by the death of the late segr"e sinstice Armour has been offered to "It.

A good deal of pride is taken in West Huron as a cherry district, Bin Miller is fatuous for its cherries, The crop has been heavy, both of reds aud blacks, and the quality mere than Malty good. Many cherries are chipped to Mout- real, but this season the cancers have taken large quantities and relieved the cougestion. The farmer has been re- eeiving 60 cents for eleven -quart baskets of cherries. Pears are not plentiful, but plums are a heavy crop, as also the smaller fruits -strawberries, respberries and currants. Some atteution is given to peaches, but Lake Huroa's winter breezes, are scarcely balmy enough for them, and they aro cultivated under difficulty. Beyond apples, cherries and a few plums, fruit is not grown here for export, but all kinds are produced to some extent, as the farmers are drilled in the habit of producing nearly all their table necessaries on their own Another Pork Packing Failure. The pork -packing industry in Ontario appears to have suffered some reverses this,year. Yesterday the Paisley Pork Packing Compe.ey, which was formed three years ago, with a capital of $10,- 000, was forced to make an assignment of its business.. The cause given by the promoters for the failure is keen compe- tition and the high prices for hogs, which have ruled this season. The as signment was made to H.

For the sur- plus of oats over local consumption a fair market has recently been found in Liverpool. Barley, the companion feeding crop, is likewise extra good, promising also 50 bushels to the acre should the weather continue favorable, according to Mr. Win. Burrows, a large local dealer. Hay is a large crop and is expected to ran about one and one-half tons to the acre. This section is later than the Lake Erie counties, and the hay is not all cut yet by any means. The fall wheat is a good fair crop, with a prospective yield of 25 bushels to the acre. The straw is rather light, but the ears are large. Ensilage corn, of which there is a large acreage, is backward, owing to the cool weather, and a short crop is feared. Of roots there is' also at danger of a scarcity owing to unfavor- able weather at the germinating period. Of the other great standby, apples, there is promise of just a fair crop. Last year they were tremendously abundant, and sold for 50 to 75 cents per barrel in the orehard. There will be a difference this *Atm./ one of the Goderich dealers predicts priees of $1.25 to $1.50 for win- ter fruit.

A Willful Misunderstanding. Pitt was induced by Sir John Sin- clair to constitute a board of agricul- ture toward the end of the eighteenth century and make him the president. Having enjoyed his office for a few years, Sinclair began to desire promo- tion in the social scale. "Dear Mr. Pitt," he wrote to the prime minister, "don't you think the president of the board of agriculture should be q peer?" "Dear Sir John Sinclair," -replied Pitt, "I entirely agree vsith yon. I have therefore appointed Lord Somer- ville to succeed you as president of the board of agriculture." Sir John Sinclair went about wring- ing his hands and exclaiming: "Dear me, dear me!It was such a willful misunderstanding!"
