abled to harvest such a liberal crop

land for all that there is In 1t, farm
II scientifically, with all due attention
to fertilization to keep up the quality
of their soil. Consequently they raise
more grain, potatoes and hay to the
acre than most Of the other people OF
Europe, and very much more than
Americans do. For instance, their
average yield of wheat is 251a bush.

we raise but 376,000,000 bushels on

Thursdays Live Stock
Market and Sales at
Detroit Yards

A large run of cattle and lower
prices for all kinds at the Detroit
stock yards on Thursday. Two heavy
runs In succession proved too much
for the market and prices were quoted
10 to 20 cents lower for all grades.
Prime fat cattle showed the greatest
decline. Wholesale and retail meat
dealers report an extremely dull trade
and the week will close with more
meat in sight and less demand than
has been known in Detroit for long
time. Mich COWS were active at un
changed values. Veal calves Were &C
tive and steady at IS to $3.50 per cwt
All of the better grades OF sheep
and lambs were active and steady
with last week. Top lambs brought
$3.50. The Detroit market for sheep
and lambs is a broad one, just now,
owing to the. presence here OF several
eastern buyers.
The hog trade was about the dullcst
of the season SO far and prices were
40 cents per cwt. below those paid
In this market last week. Best hogs
brought $7.25, but buyers were hard
to suit, and the sorting was close to
the line.

advanced age he lad become weak and
sickly and OF late years has been bed
ridden. Here he was often visited by
his pastor and in these visits he took
great pleasure and comfort. Shortly
before his death he partook, of the
Lords Supper. The last few days
we're days of great suffering but the
LORD gave him strength to bear up.
He was lovingly and tenderly nursed
by his wife and children but his dear
est wish was that he might 60 home,
home to his Father. At last the Lord
heard his prayer and on the evening of
July 18th, he breathed his last.
His age was 80 years, 4 months and
II days. He leaves to mourn his death
his wife, three children, ten grand
children, six great-grandchildren, and
nieces and nephews. He rests in peace
and may the Lord give him joyous
resurrection.-St. Ansgar Enter prise.
