He wes son of the late Samuel and Margaret Burgess, and was in bis 68th year. He had been lu poor health for some time. Mrf~. Burgess was bamu in Dar- mast of bis lite. He was neyer marmied. Four yers ego he e- timed after an active if e and built a home. His sister, Mrs. Clarke, who stayed With him part of the time,,was wlth him when he was taken ill. A man of consistently upright character, he was always held in respect by bis neighboms and wil be sadly missed by bii sisters, Mrs. Clarke, Mms. Albert Mann- ing, Ontario St., at wha 'se home he passed away, Mrs. Evan Stubbs of Sait Lake City, and ane bro- thel,, Arthur Burgess, well known tarmer at Maple Grave. The funemal Saturday was large- ly attended as Mr. Burgess was well known. His pastor, Rev. W. C. Smith conducted the funemal.

Many beautiful floral tributes tcstified ta the esteemn in which deceased was held. David Cox Two shipments of hogs fram fairly adjacent shipping points in central Ontaria, which were car- cass-graded on the same day at the same grading centre recently, offered an înteresting contrast in quality. One hundred and ten hogs from shipping point Na. i were carcass-graded as 50 per cent "A's" and 85 per cent of the carcasses were of weights suitable for sizeabie Wiltshixes. Eighty- seven hogs from shipping point No. 2 were carcass-graded as 34 per cent "A" and 60 per cent were of weights suitable for sizeable Wiltshires. While bath these shipments were of good quality, it may be readily seen that the hogs from shipping point No. 1 were of much superior quality, and in this con- nectian it is of interest ta note that hogs purchased at shipping point No. 1 had been bought from the fariner an the carcass basis for a considerable period while at shipping point No. 2 the practice has been for the drover to do his own grading for purposes of set- tiement ta the farmer. Even though a draver may be efficient at grading, his work cannot be as accurate as carcass grading, and as is shown in this instance, hog quality suffers accordingly. The Hag Carcass Gradlng Regu- latians now require that ail hogs be settied for ta the farmer ac- cording ta officiai carcass grading. Obituary Iend, Peterbarough sud Victoria. the fingers.-Seneca.
