make money; must wait four years for hts
money, and the liabilities of loss by accit
dent or otherwise made the enterprise OF
raising horses very doubtful way to wealth.
Thinks he has shrunk $4,000 in horse rails
ing. Said he did not like the full blood
White Chester; their legs were toe slim
for their weight; thought cross better.
Had made money ON neat stock and sheep
but not on horses; has eight horses now.
Mr. Percival of Glover being present
was called upon, and said he was in favor
of Devons considered them the best breed
of cattle for this country-they matured
early, were hardy, easily kept, good milk
ers, and as for oxen they were pretty and
pleasant, docile and tractable; said that if
as much pains had been taken with native
stock as with fancy stock they would have
been hard to beat He was of the opinion
that the Morgan breed of horses was the
best ever raised in Vermont, for all practi-
cal purposes, and especially to make prof
it upon-maturing early and less liable to
accident or disease than most of the fancy
breeds. Thought the Suffolk breed of
swine better adapted to our wants than the
White Chester, for the reason that the
White Chesters were too slim in the leg.
J. C. Dow said that the success of breed
ers depended very much upon the dam,
even when thoroughbred male partner
was used; thought that the fine horses rails
ed during the last Is years upon the Hay
den farm depended as much on old Snip
and her treatment as breeder, as upon
any stock horses used thought Old Snip
had not been in the harness for Is years,
which by the way he thinks is the true
way to keep breeding mare.
J. L. Sanders said he would concur with
Mr.. Hayden as to the result of horse rails
ing with a view to profit. Had always had
good returns from neat stock raising; al
ways made it point to have enough feed,
and fed regularly; have had some very
good cOws-have some now-but not of the
fancy kind; had observed that drovers like
to buy young Durham stock, and thinks
the chances to make money on young Dur
hams the best, as they sell high when
young. Had raised sheep with as much
profit as cattle; thought the Leicesters
poor investment; never owned but two and
lost both of them in two years l have
kept from 100 to nc sheep for a number of
years, and sometimes as many as 500.
They are all gone now they generally paid
well. Were I to keep large sheep, say
Cotswold, 1 should keep but few. In keep
ing swine, had no success with the Suffolk
said that two years ago he bought White
Chester SOW, and few months later he
bought another, and he was sure he had
made more than 500 from those White
Chester sows, and had the animals yet, and
intended to raise many more of the same
breed from the same sows; thinks their legs
will be all right when they have work
enough TO do.

ALBANY Farmers Club.

After Introductory remarks by the presi-
dent, Mr. Marckres, in which he said that
farm stock in the main consisted of four
classes, viz 1st neat stock ID horses Sd
sheep; and 4th swine and this was deem
ed to be their relation toproft. Thespeak
er thought that the first material point,
with view to profitable raising of stock,
was good breed If there is no difference
in breeds, then to argue this point is use
less but there is a difference, which is il
Illustrated by comparing the China pigmies
with our splendid White Chesters. And
although one may find good COW that is
of no particular breed, yet the exception
is too rare to justify one in neglecting to
improve upon the opportunities he has for
obtaining thoroughbred stock if he would
have an eye to profit.
Mr. H. W. Ghafey said his knowledge of
farming grew out of observation. Thought
that good feeding had much to do with
successful raising of stock-not high feed

injurious as short feed. Regular and prop
er feed is the point to attain; and the prin-
ciple was illustrated with reference to
calves, pigs, sheep and poultry. Thinks
we may take any animal, and by judicious
feeding, arrive at the point desired. Like
wise the best breed, for want of said feed,
will fall short of the desired expectancy.
John Paine said he liked the Devons
considered them the best mixers and the
best oxen, they are so docile and tractable.
He deems the Durhams to be an inferior
animal to make money from-takes them
too long to mature for the climate, and costs
too much to keep them. Thinks a cross Of

ing his mental vision is untrue, and his
moral action unworthy and self-destruc-
tive. How then does God call forth our
faith by making it a necessity TO us in the
attitude which He assumes in His provi-
dence. He would stimulate us, and lift us
up to its fullest exercise. Our Saviour
marvelled, and said of the Centurion who
came to him II have not found SO great
faith, no, not in Israel" But that faith
was only this, that just as the Centurion's
soldiers obeyed him promptly-coming or
going, acting or waiting at his bidding-so
be thought that diseases were under Christ's
control. He regarded him as the disposer
and master of all the forces of nature, and
the controller of life. This conviction
wrought on the one hand most humbling
view of his own character, expressed in the
words, 81 am not worthy that thou shouldst
come under my roof and on the other,
full, practical, mistaken persuasion of the
Saviour's sympathy and readiness to bless
him. This is the all-conquering faith
which every soul needs, and which Gods
providence is adapted to inspire. We must
renounce self-seeking in every form and
degree, and with it all narrow sensuous
aims and wishes, and we must make God
really the first and the last--the Al pha and
Omega of every desire and effort. delight |
myself in the Lord and He shall give thee
the desires of thine heart" This is true
and proper faith in Him, practical and
active, described in scripture by such phra-
ses as these, walking with God" being
"the friend of God" abiding with God"
And what example have we of this hearty,
child-like faith in the ancient worthless and !

Gus ones all along in the history of the
church Gods providence taught Them

Large Crop of Carrots.

Rev. c. Tabor, of Craftsbury, raised, the
past season, seyenty-fve bushels of carrots
on ten square rods and two hundred and
fifty square feet, with no large outlay for
guano, superphosphate, or any other foreign
fertilizer, to produce this crop. The soil
was sandy loan, dressed with horse ma
nure. This large yield is mainly owing to
the carrots being Thoroughbred. The own
er raised them to feed to his horse, but
think he might be induced to part with a
few of them for seed to some wealthy fan
cy breeder, at Early Rose, Norway or Short
Horn prices.
