A couple of months ago Mr A M Stead, of Stirling, Alberta, bought the entire herd of sixty-one animals for $12,000 It was Mr Stead's intention to take the herd out on hisranch in the West and arrangements had been made for this purpose. V Jast at this point, however, there was a hitch in the pro- ceedings. Mr. Stead received a telegram stating that his ranch, which had been in the hands of real estate agents for some years, was sold. This placed the buyer of the herd in a somewhat awkward position. He had the animals, but he had no ranch on which to place them. Consequently it became necessary to sell the herd again, and for this purpose they were taken to the Union Stock Yards. Here in open market the cattle brought half as much again as Mr Stead had paid for them. The first forty animals averaged $291 00 each, a yearling bull calf sold at $350.00, and an eleven year old cow $356.00. The bull that headed the herd stood at $5000. Some of the heifers brought about $500 each, After the sale, Mr Stead found that he had made a profit of - some $6000 on the transaction. Not only does Mr Lee reap a bene- fit from his work in raising this fine _ herd of cattle, but the whole section 3 givens boost, and the record of 2 as a stock producing cen- or s higher than ever because of pus rie has done. © Mr. Lee:has not neglected the rest of his farm. It is well equipped, and has Idings. This farm is example of what can be done i Hal industry, dying, when away on the horizon overcome by the fumes of gasoline. Among them was Mr Edgar Leask, of Greenbank, who is now recovering. It is protable that the trouble arises from the fact that gasoline is of a lower grade than formerly, and care should be taken to have proper ven-|- tilation when running a gasoline engine.

NURSERYMAN Established 1857 Colborne - Ontario >be Re-Union on Scugog On January Ist a very pleasant time was spent at the home of Mr and Mrs W T Reader, when a number of their neices and nephews meet together, among whom were: Mr and Mrs Egbert Cliff, of McGregor, Man.; Rev and Mrs Chas Cliff, of Flint, Mich.; Mrs Lorne Grumby, Owoso, Mich.; Mr and Mrs Geo Dafoe, of Flint; Mr and Mr Russell Wallis, Little Britain. William Akhurst Mr William Akhurst, who died at Oshawa on December 15th, in his 95th year, was one of Ontario's pio- neer settlers. He and his wife and three children sailed from Liverpool on the "Martin Luther", a three masted sailing vessel, in the month of April, 1856, and landed in Quebec more than three months later on the 12th of July. This was a very memorable voyage for when three days out, on-a-neve.- to-be-forgotten Easter Sunday, a fierce storm broke over the ship. The three masts snapped like matches; the rud- der was carried away and the decks were swept clear of everything. Five sailors were drowned. They drifted about for three day and three nights. No food was served to' anyone, not even the children, Hope was slowly a steamer hove in sight and bore dawn upon them and towed tnem into Ply- mouth harpour where the stayed until the vessel was ready for sea again.
