Bowmanvllle - Ontario SHORTHORN SALES ARE NUMEROUS Under the Federal scheme cf laaning pure bred bulîs to clubs or Agricultural Societies in out- lying zones of the province, six important local shipments have been made the last few weeks by Shorthorn breeders. Mr. C. F. Mackenzie, Kingston, is the Department purchaser and every year makes selections from breeders o! the Durham County Shorthorn Association. Among recent sales have been two young bulîs from W. S. Bragg & Son, one going to Lanark County and one to Sudbury district; one from Cecil Philp, Janetville, going to New Liskeard; one from J. R. Duf!, Myrtle, to Quebec; two from J. E. Leask, Seagrave, to Quebec, and one to Northern On- tario; one from C. H. Mumford. Hampton, to New Brunswick; one !rom Chas. Fothergill to Quebec; one from Lew Richardson & Son, Ashburn, to New Brunswick; one from Jno. Miller, Ashburn, to Lanark County; and one each from E. Heron and Fred Stephen, Ashburn, to Northern Ontario; also an extra good one from John Rickard, Newcastle, which un- fortunately died befare the ship- ment was ready. John Baker, Hampton, ficîdman for the Association, last week ac- companied one shipment to the great dlay beit o! Northern On- tario, visiting the townsd o! New Liskeard, Earlton, Englehart and Cochrane and was much impress- ed with the extent o! the good farming district, its proximity to the mining towns as markets, the wonderful dlay soul and its pro- ductivity. Farmers there receive $2.50 per hundred for milk. Po- tatoes seil at $2.00 ta $2.75 a bag and yield up to 600 bushels per acre. The population is predom- inately French-Canadian though many sections are British descent. Cattie in Northern Ontario are mostly Shorthorn and Ayrshires, and the government farms at New Liskeard, Cochrane and Hearst, besides the Agricultural Repre- sentatives, give leadership in live stock improvement. Other recent sales o! Short- horns from Durham County have been bulîs to Chas. Stires, Bow- manville, Edgar Heron, Myrtie, and a shipment o! females to Peterboro County. I've read the records closely, I've watched life's battle, too; They've taught me one good lesson That I would teach to you: Fate cannot build a barrier So rugged or so high, But it can be surmounted By the men who try, and try. I honor the man o! learning, I honor the genius, too; The strong man, and the brave man- I honor them alal, don't you? But when in the great procession Of life they pass me by, I lift my hat the highest To the men why try, and try. -Whitney Montgomery. SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS Written specially for The Statesman by well known Durham boy, Fred R. Foley, 123 Lake St., St. Catharines, Ont. Number 5 THE SWEET STORY 0F OLD The writer o! this beautiful aid hymn, Mrs. J. Luke, was barn un Englanci in 1813, during the stormy days o! world wars, and liveci ta the ripe aid age a! 93 ycars. Her huabanci was a Con- gregational minister. The hymn was witten one day while she was travelling un a stage coach ta London. I can find no other sang or poem written by her, but "The Sweet Story o! Old" is su!- ficient ta give ber a lasting name amang the sacred songsters. Here s a lit fie stary that illustrates the ef!ect in after life o! these ald hymns learnec iun Sunday School: "I Wish"I Over in the sheil tomn territory during the Great War, a young lad was brought into the hospital ward one day in a shocking con- dition. His body was shattereci, bis mmnd anci memory gone - al gone - ail he coulci say was twa little words, "I wish. I wish." They pliec i hm with questions trying ta finci what he wished for. Was if bis mot ber? Was it his sxveetheart? Was t friencis and loveci anes in America? But the only answer was "I wish. I wish." One day a Salvatian Army las- sic was passing thmough the ward andi anc o! the nursing sisters saici ta her, "I wish you could sec if you can get anytbing ouf o! this yaung chap . Ail we can gef from him is, 'I wisb, I wish.' Sa thc Salvat ion lassie plieci him with questions but thc same resuit. That nigbt un ber littie "dug- aut" she took the case ta Goci in prayer and whîle she was on ber knees these words came ta ber: I wish that His banda bnci been placeci on my head, That His arms had been thrown about me, Andi that I migbt have seen His kind loak when He saici "Let the litf le ones came unto Me." She took if as an answer ta ber prayer and nexf morning she went aver ta the haspital ward again. With the young cbap off in a corner by themacives she be- gan fa sing: I think when I read that sweef story o! aid, How when Jesus was here among men, Hebroughf liftic children as lamba ta His foici; I shouici like fa have been with Him then. I wish that His hand had been- "Oh, tbaf's if, tbat's if, tbat's whaf I wish," he said, andi the dawn o! reasan returneci in the singing o! thaf aid Sunday Schooi hymn. 1Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeeci, fa be simple is ta be great-Emersan.
