The marked Improvement in the
milling business brought about by the
recent advance in prices. is one of the
first hopeful signs of the new crop.
While those best posted in the trade
have prophesied a prosperous season,
even they are relieved by the partial
tullillment of their prophecies. 9th
ers, less hopeful, predict that Il year
or two must elapse before anything
like the old time state of the trade is
reached. The latter class is, we think,
to easily discouraged. A single dull

that all others must be so, any more
than a profitable one insures a contin-
uance of such prosperity. -Northwest-

The great telegraphers' strike has
ended in the utter defeat of the strik-
ers. The question was simply one of
supply and demand and the result
shows that, though the operators may
be poorly paid as class, there are
more operators in the country than
the business actually demands, and
Just as long as this is so no strike for
higher wages can be successful. The
sympathies of the people were almost
wholly with the strikers, utsympathy
is powerless against the great law of
of supply and demand. If half of the
telegraph operators would give up the
business and go into something else,
the companies would soon be obliged
to raise their wages.

The machine politicians not the on
ly evil that besets Christiandom. The
United Presbyterian church is all brok-
EN- up over the subject of praising the
Lord by machinery. A large selection
of the church has decided that the
pipe organ, the melodeon and other in
struments must go. They have been
out voted in two general assemblies,
but now propose to withdraw from the
main body and start an assembly OF
their own. ItWould seem that the re-
ligion of some people cannot escape
the groove in which it was started in
the DARK days of reformation when
radical measures we're necessary to OBJ
tain radical ends. The worldly man
will regard the discussion of such a
question rs not more nice and hardly
ineligible than the disputes of the
Brahmin pundits concerning the cor
rect ritual for the worship of Vishnu
or those of the Shiites and Sunnitis as
for whether the right or the left foot
should be advanced first in CROSSING
threshold, and that it will be an injury
to the Christian faith just according TO
its extent and bitterness. 1t is quite

Profitable Farming.

Inquiries are often made as to which
is the most profitable branch Offarming.
Now the fact is, this depends upon sew
eral contingencies. The price Ofproduce
and of almost every product OF the farm.
as well as stock, depends, in a great
measure, upon circumstances. Some
seasons, one article-fOr instance, hops
this year, on account OF a failure in
certain parts of the globe-cOmmand
an unusual and abnormal price; but
good Judgment dictates that it is not
good policy to base calculations upon
such premises, and to presume because
a certain year pays exceedingly well
that therefore The pro luctiOn of this
certain crop viii lie a su cess in the
future For general purposes special
crops or emplOYmentS are rarely suit
able, and mixed farming is the best re-
lance. This implies the culture of
roots, grass and grain, chic ~ Tor feed
ing to the stock. and only partly for
sale. The aim should be to distribute
the produce so that a good portion
C mes back as soil manure, and by this
means the soil is kept improving con-
antIy in fert lily and freedom from
weeds. Then immediate advantage can
be taken Of any exceptional condition OF
things, and if grain does not pay, meat
and wool may be made to do SO, and if
grain happens to be high it may be sold
and some cheaper feed substituted or
the stock A sharp farmer, who has
little capital and can turn about on
short notice, viii never be caught in a
poor year, without at least average
profit from his business. By this we do
not mean that every farmer must turn
Spectator, BIT that he should keep
well posted in reference to the supply
and demand of all kinds of farm pro-
ducts in his own and foreign countries,
for by so doing can he alone be pre-
pared to make the best returns from his
farm. Year a ter year we see two
farmers, side by side, with equal uality
of land and the same facilities and OPP
portunities for sue ess, the one alwa S
prosperous and the other always under
the harrow This difference can only
lie accounted for on the ground OF
n anagement. The best course to
pursue is n straightforward one. Be
not over excited if some par ocular crop
happens to pay unusually well for a
time The world needs but cerai
amount IF each kind of produce, and it
is a farmer duty to study that want,
and his aim should be to supply it.
