The supply of horses is equal to the demand,

prices of horses vary so much that it is very
difficult matter to give a ruling price. Good
farm horses and mares can be bought from $50
to $40; pings and inferior grades from so to

not likely this kind of horses would find buyers

we are not able to decide. It seems to us that
the breeding OF heavy draught horses should at

be long until Dakota will have more horses that
will be needed at home. The farmers then will
have to seek market in the east. In order to
be able to realize good and paying prices, they
must have the kind Of horses that will meet the
demand of the eastern market-that is. two
kinds, heavy work horses, or well bred, good

Drunkenness n Sin.


w hohs JOHN BRIGHT MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
"To drink deeply--to be drunk-is a sin I;
this is not denied. At what particular point
does the taking of strong drink become
sin? The state in which the body is when
not excited by Intoxicating drink is its
proper and natural state drunkenness is the
state farthest removed from it. The state
of drunkenness is state of sin at what

state of sobriety, and so far destroys it +;
another glass excites him still more IA third
fires his eye, heats his blood, loosens his
tongue, inilames his passions; fourth in
creases all this; fifth makes him foolish
and partially insane; sixth makes him
savage; a seventh or an eighth makes him

reason is quenched, his faculties are for a
time destroyed. Every noble and generous
principle within him withers, and the image

sin begin At the first glass, at the first
step towards intoxication, or at the sixth or

Extra Maple Sugar.

While referring to the Pedigree corn, and
our Indebtedness to Mr.. Foster for calling
our attention thereto, we will take the occa-
sion also to speak of his success in his own
speciality of maple sugar. At least, that is
his speciality at this season of the year, and,
as one of the great sugar-makers of Vermont,
he deserves a notice. He has every facility
that art affords for making extra sugar and
syrup, and he is himself man that exem-
plifes Greatness and dispatch in the ma
nipulation of his staple. We have, for sew
eral years, had experimental knowledge of
the fact, and have found, too, that he takes
a pride in doing little better, if possible,
by customers than they expect He is just
the man to send an order to, which you
wish forwarded to distant friends with the
certainty that they will receive first-class
article without the necessity of trial on the
part of the purchaser before shipment. This
we know by actual trial.

Destruction Of Appetite.

The desire" and appetite" as used in
considering Christian experience, should
have very different Specifications. Desire
means wish for; appetite, physical
condition, independent of intellectually,
amounting to a passion for whiskey, to-
hacco, etc. We may desire that for which
we have no appetite as the boy may desire
tobacco and we may have an appetite for
that which we do not desire, as the sick
person may have an appetite for that which
he knows will injure him, and which he
will not accept. The desire is mental ex-
ercise. The appetite is demand of the
physical organism independent of the in
tellectual. Desire for the qualification of
appetite for an evil is removed in the
process of conversions but this does not i'm
ply the removal of the passion. The Chris
tian desires no sinful indulgence, and no one
is Christian until this is true of him. His
desires are opposed to his appetites. Here
his conflict begins. The appetite, natural
or created, as the case may be, remains. If
natural TO be sure, it remains while our hui
man nature exists If morbid condition
of the physical organism, brought on by our
own folly, it must be cured in the usual
manner of removing disease; or, as a per-
manent evil, it must be endured or last of
uIii 40 oplii' DtlltNF, ~ uluSI bt ltllONtu W
miracle, because its sudden removal would
be real miracle performed by God on the
physical organism. That the appetite is
thus removed we cannot believe.
1t is unreasonable to ask God to undo our
own evil work-to destroy thing of our
own creation. The drunkard has created
his own appetite by drinking, the chewer by
chewing, aud so on. We believe God allows
us to suffer the conflict brought on by our
own folly.
1t is unnecessary. God does not do by
miracle what can be done otherwise. Drunk
ards and tobaccochewers have reformed
otherwise than i'll the line of sanctification.
Great drumkards have reformed who alb
horred faith in Christ. The Christian can
the more surely reform, we believe, but he
has the same conflict with the physical de
mand as the unbeliever. The discipline of
effort to overcome an evil the better prepares
to resist its subsequent encroachments.
1t implies more than the facts indicate.
The destruction of appetite implies restor-
alton to the physical condition existing be-
fore the appetite. Strong drink must be as
little demanded and sudden in its efforts,
aud tobacco must be as sickening the mo.
ment that appetite is destroyed The
drunkard or slave to tobacco must be created
as if he never had been such, so that to re.
turn to the practice would require the for
mer effort.
The promises of Gods Word are OF grace
to overcome evil rather than its removal out
of our way. We can only give one instance,
the case of the great apostle Paul. He be
sought the Lord thrice for the removal of
the thorn from the hesh--by miracle, no
doubt. The answer was better than mir

What is Scientific Farming !

Scientific farming, in any true sense, con-
sists in so conducting the operation of the
farm as to obtain Cn the long rum the
greatest profit from the least proportional
outlay. 1t aims to utilize to its utmost the
natural fertility of the land, and to get the
last cent OF value out of every accessible
artificial fertilizer, whether that be dung,
urine, waste vegetable products, or chemi-
calls The scientific farmer is not afraid of
any work that pays, but he utterly abom-
mates all labor that costs more than it comes
to- aud he has little respect for labor that
costs more than it needs to. As natural
consequence he seeks earnestly for the most
profitable crops, the most profitable animals,
the best seeds, the best implements and the
best hired labor. He weeds his land before
it is foul he feeds it before it is hungry
He grows no crop and feeds no stock that
will not give him a profit; and he tests the
profits, both of crop and stock, by weights
and figures. He drives his business, and
does business like business man. While
he will not force his animals beyond their
constitution, nor his land beyond the limits
he knows where these limits are, and has
reached them. lie reads, he travels, he ex-
periments the first that he may learn of
what he may not see, the second that he
may see all that he can, and the last that he
may test what he has learned by reading

A Good Long Sleep.

Grandpa began by telling Robin and
Archie of two little boys who went to bed
one night in winter and never got up till the
next spring.
Robin" What queer story"
Archie" Who ever heard of such Il
thing What did make them sleep so long ?"
Grandpa.-"l suppose their little limbs
were tired with moving, and their tongues
with talking and that small mill-the
stomach--that grinds so much bread and
meat, needed to stop aud rest Il long while
Archie" But, grandpa how queer it was
that the children slept so long, do tell us
how it was"
Grandpa" shan't have time tonight,
wait till tomorrow morning
Robin" How can we wait SO long 2"
Grandpa" Go to bed and go to sleep 5
soou as you can time goes fast III the land
of Nod. There's sister Kate coming for you
now. Pray the dear Lord our souls to keep,
and to let us all see the morning light again,
After the children were in bed aud alone
they were heard talking. Grandpa listened
at the foot of the stairs.
81 wonder if those boys didn't starve to
death in that long sleep 2" said little five
year-old Robin.
Why no" replied the senior of hdifpdsi
sir; didn't grandpa say they both got up
in spring 2"
Don't You suppose they were great deal
bigger when they got up than when they
went to bed 2" asked the former.
~ guess they were people must grow in
their sleep know the squashes aud beans
grow at right" said the sage Archie.
But, Bob, do let's stop talking, so we can
get to the land OF Nod and get back again,
aud hear all about that strange story
Soon fair morning did dawn upon child
hood aud old age.
Grandpa was just putting the snowy foam
over his face when he heard the feet of his
little ponies hurrying to his door. They
were too impatient to wait till the shaving
was done so the kind old gentleman, to
please his darlings, cleared away little of
the snow about his lips, and took the chill
dren on his knees.
Now for the story" said he. "Once
upon time two little boys went to bed on
the last night of winter and got up the first
morning in Spring. Yesterday was the last
day of winter; this is the first day of
spring. The two little boys are Archie and
Robin Dale"
Then the children laughed and shouted,
and kissed grandpa over and over. They
got some of the white froth on their rosy
cheeks but they didn't care. They got
some, too, on grandpas beautiful bald head,
but he didn't care.-New York Observer.

A Valuable Lesson.

A successful business man says there were
two things which he learned when he was
eighteen, which were afterwards of great
use to him, namely "never to lose anything
and never to forget anything" An old law

certain instructions what to do with it,
But" inquired the young man, suppose
lose it; what shall do then p
The answer was with the utmost empha
sis, You must not lose it !"
al don't mean to" said the young man,
"but suppose should happen to 2"
"But say you must not happen to-
shall make no provision for any such occur
renee. You must not lose il -
This put new train OF thought into the
young mans mind, and he found that if he
was determined to do thing he could dc
it. lie made such provision against every
contingency that he never lost anything
lie found this equally true about forgetting
If certain matter OF Importance was to be
remembered, he pinned il down on his mind
fastened it there, and madeit stay.-Interior
