I sent a copy of my poems to the pioneer of the cattle trade in Canada, and the exporter of fine bullocks received my present with a good deal of appreciative feeling, as my book recalled the older early times to his memory, and his kind reply induced me to pen the following; as the export of live cattle trade will soon reach the annual value of ten millions of dollars, and it is second only to the cheese export trade. + 

Lines on the Pioneer Exporter of Canadian Bullocks to Britain + 

Baron of butcher’s burly brave, + 

Who ships live bullocks o’er the wave, + 

And elevates the beef standard, + 

Boldly he led on the vanguard. + 

Now export cattle trade ranks grand, + 

Thanks to enterprise of Frankland; + 

Forever more this trade will grow, + 

And blessings on this land bestow. + 
