When to Sell Wheat.

The Farmers Union strongly advises the
farmers of Minnesota to sell their wheat as
soon as possible. We are not prepared to
give so positive advice in this matter, but we
believe that the farmer who makes it prac-
tice to sell all his crops as soon as they are
ready for the market will, as general rule,
do as well in long series of years, as he
who holds his crops on speculation. If a
farmer sells his wheat, oats, and barley in
August and gets the money for them, he
runs the risk Of having lost an opportunity
of getting larger price some months later.
But against this he can place the facts that
he has been able to use the money promptly,
that he has saved shrinkage, wastage, rat
tage, and danger of loss by fire, rains, or
thieves, and has also avoided the risk of hav-
ing to accept lower prices after holding the
crop perhaps year or more Western
Farmer.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1873-10-08
Value of Religious Newspapers.

All our leading religious papers are a
great deal better than most of their patrons
think they are. And it is invariably true
that those who read them most thoroughly
prize them most highly.
What we need, then, is higher apprecia-
ton of religious journalism by both editors
and subscribers. Let the former try to
make their papers as perfect as possible-as
full of gospel truth, in its application to all
the varied phases of the times, as they can.
Let them not be afraid of making them too
rehgious-too much like Paurs letters to the
churches. And let every reader feel that
the paper comes to him as pastoral visitor,
as herald of the glad tidings; let him well
come it as he welcomes his minister, and try
to get out of it all the good there is in it.
Satan appreciates the power of the press.
He has gone largely into the printing bust
ness. He controls great many ten-cylinder
machines that run day and night. He fills
the mails with his obscene and demoralzng
publications. We must meet his poison with
the gospel antidote, his lies with the truth
as it is in Jesus. We must make the re-
ligious press mightier than the satanic. We
can do it with Gods blessing, and for that
let both publishers and their patrons devout-
ly prsy.-HeraLd and PreSbyter.

Hints About Work.

Make up your mind what you intend to
do. Sit down and count the cost. Do not
undertake more than you can perform. 1t
is unwise to commence work that you are
not able to finish in due season. Many a
farmer loses more by getting behindhand
with his spring work than would buy anoth-
er team, and pay toe wages of a man for
year. This has, at any rate, been true more
than once in our own experience. Have you
not found it so?
Shall we buy more horses and hire more
men? Not if we can help it. 1t would
probably be better to pillow less land. This
is point, each farmer must decide for him
self. All we can say is, do not get behind
haud with your work. Almost anything is
better than this.
We are quite apt to blame the weather.
And yet is matter of fact that there is no
change in our climate. There have always
been wet years and cold years and years OF
great drouth. We should be prepared for
them.
UNDERTAKING. on all wet soils is indispen-
sable to real success in farming. A well
drained and we'll worked heavy soil is rarely
affected by drouth. Every enterprising farm
er will do more or less draining every spring
If he once commences to underdrain, and
does the work well, he will not be likely to
stop until he has made all of his land dry.
Top-dressing grass land is grand means
of ameiorating the effect of drouth, Spread
the manure as early as possible in the spring,
and if you have a Thomas harrow use it freely
to break up the manure.

RetractiOn of ScepticiSm.

Laplace's great intellect could occupy it.
self during a lifetime with the Sublimest
truths of astronomy to no better purpose
than to deny the existence of the Almighty
Maker of the universe; impiously to insin-
uate that the supposed useful purpose of our
system could have been accomplished other
wise better, than at present. and, to discard
religion, and the sanctions which it derives
from future existence, and its conditions,
as cruel imposture practiced upon the ig-
norant credulity of mankind! 1t is right to
state, however, that NJ. Laplace, not long
before his death, intimated to distinguished
English philosopher professor Sedgwick,)
a great change of opinion. Having spoken
to him earnestly on the religious character
of our endowments and course of academic
study, NJ. Laplace added: q think this
right, and, on this point, l deprecate any
great changes in your system, for l have
lived long enough to know-what, at one
