q, As AGAINST 5000 AN ACRE.

Cuyler Adams, Of Spiritwood, Oak,
furnishes Bradstreet's Gazette some
interesting statistics on wheat grow
ing in the Northwest. Mr.. Adams's
operations have been conducted on an
extensive scale, but he believes that
equally good results can he obtained
by smaller farmers, because, though
they pay more for machinery, they do
away with superintendent, cooks and
other men necessary in large estab-
lishment. This may not be altogether
correct, bu: Mr.. Adams's statistics are
nevertheless valuable. He estimates
the total cost of growing an acre of
wheat to be Is, divided as follows
Interest on outlay for horses and machinery
Cost Of seed At % cents bushel. sowing IN
bushels to the acre. l 20
Cost o. stubble plowing .................. 80
Cost Of cutting and shocking. including cord. "a
Cost Of superintendent. wntering stock, etc. u
Let US see how these figures com.
pare with those in vogue here, where
many settlers have had, and are still
having, 40 much work done on con-
tract or by the job:
Breaking. Per acre. ............... - 90
Cost Of seed wheat At ~ cents per pound.
~ bushels 70 the acre ..-............... 20
Cost Of cutting and shocking. ............. 2 90
Total. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. $40 10
The above have been and are the
ruling rates here. But it is evident
that they arc exorbitant and cannot
long continue to be demanded aud
paid, A., If profits are uncertain at Is
per acre in Dakota, where the markets
are comparatively close, heavy loss
must be most positively certain at
5000 in Idaho, where it is impossi.
BILE to market wheat at all. In this
IS in everything else here, there must
be reduction to living basis.

Wonderful Progress IN Horse Breeding

Wonderful Progress IN Horse Breeding.
The great demand for large work
'horses'has led to extreme experiments
in breeding the small mares of west
srn ranges to large Ferche'on stall
lions. The results, contrary to.public
;belief, have proven remarkably sue
cessful. From these mares, weighing
from 700 to 900 pounds, when bred
ito imported Percheron stations, are
produced horses that possess about
.one.hak the united weight of sire and
dam, and while partaking Of the char.
,acteristics Of the size, they lose none
of the endurance and harlihood of the
dam, selliag'r~atily for from 500 to
$500.
As the vast herds of the long
horned. gaunt Texas cattle, worth
from 2 10 3 cents pound, that ap
.peared on o,r markets few years
>since, have been improved by the use
Of Shsr tou and Hereford bulls until
we scarcely recognize the hood-iike
docking steers, worth from 5 to 6 cents
= pound, now coming from the range
ms their descendants so may we ex-
'pect that the useless horses that are
being brought from the Weet and
Southwest a4sd sold through the States
at frcm SIS 20 $50 head, will soon
he displaced in OUR markets by their
descendants IF triple their value @eing
'of sufficient size to work, and showing
the character and dooiksy sf their
Aines.

Awecess Of this metixG OF breeding is

A Rurore i'm Gray.

1t is reported, says the Lewiston Journal,
that Gray has manufacturer who during the
past six months has created furore in that
usually quiet borough. This manufacturer, to
use an expression more forcible than elegant,
it is reported, has been sgoing it blind for the
past few months. Last fall he commenced
with the Portland trade, and one day ordered
from one to two cars Of lumber, laths, shingles,
eak plank, ETC., ETC., of every lumber firm on
Commercial street, many of whom were stuck,
and some expended about as much as the stock
was worth in hunting it up, replevining and
reshlpping 1t. For time 1t seemed as though
additional freight accommodations would have
to be erected at Gray to provide for this man
ufacturer's increased freight. Machinery was
constantly going and coming. One day four
horse loads of scrockery arrived; on another
groceries sufficient to stock country store; on
another four vehicles arrived from Portland,
one OF which was a double carriage. For
variety an occasional organ or piano comes in.
a couple of weeks ago Portland music dealer
who had sent an instrument to the gentleman,
being unable to get his pay, called to take the
organ away. Three strokes with pckaxe de-
molished the Portland mans organ. Recently,
Waterbury watches, brick manufacturing ma
chinery and part of a car of elegant furniture
have been among the arrivals. This manu-
facturer, aside from making business for many
Gray people, is also charitably disposed, and
although some of his townsmen are out more
or less, others are being helped to some of the
loayes and fishes. One night not long since
SIX double horse loads found their way from
the mandatory to farmers stable, among
which were two tons of bolted logwood, said to
De worth SEQ per ton, twenty barrels, the con-
tents OF which are said to be worth $50 each.
A trader at the Corner, in trying to reduce
claim OF $14o0, now finds his bill $17O0, and
prospect of being obliged to pay the operatives
their winters work.

camSorianu congregational Conference.
The Cumberland Conference of Conrrega-
tionai churches held its sixty-ffth annual
meeting at Scarborough yesterday. There
was an unusually large gathering. Rev. G. H.
Daniels was chosen moderator. The most ex-
cellent programme had for its general topic ef
discussion BY what agencies shall the church
extend it's power upon the world" The fret
branch of the subject: individual righteous
ness, consistency of life. activity of service,n
was opened by the Rev. A. H. Wright The
power of the church rests in the character and
piety OF its members. Church life must be
consistent and active in order to be true. The
general topic was carried further under the
topic, Genuine Family Religion" very ably
opened by Rev. L. 81. Hallock urging parental
conservation and the Christian training of the
children for God. The Rev. q. T. Pitts of the
West Church preached the conference sermon
from the text Tim.-"Neglect not the gift
that is in thee" treating the subject ably un-
der two heads: The dangers of neglecting our
gifts, and the remedies for this neglect. Con-
secration and service were among the neces-
ssry remedies. Rev. E. E. Bacon gave the
annual report from the churches; three pastors
have left pastorates, three have come, and one
has died, Rev. Luther Wswall of Windham.
The net gain in the churches is 1872 Total
membership in Sunday School reports loss of
90. The benevolences were $18, lit 90, gain
of $3.50. Several churches report large
gains from revivals. Rev. G, A. Marsh spoke
upon the Sunday School. Its aim thorough
Bible instruction, secured by realized respon-
eibility on the Dsrt of rastors taachars and
parents "these three but the greatest of these
is parents" Tho last topic was opened by
Rev. f. 7. Bayley, Concessions TO Worldly
Standards" The discussions were carried on
with unusual freedom and point by both lay
men and pastors. 1t was counted as one Of
the best Of conferences. The hospitality of
the people of Scarborough was ample and
hearty.

THE OAR.
Contests in the Harbor last
Evening.

The races last evening under the auspices Of
the Dirigo BoatOlub we're largely attended the
Wharves and shipping along the course being
packed by lovers of boating as was also the
steamer that followed the contestants over the
course. The racing did not commence until
6.15 owing to the desire of a great many to
view the sport from the referee boat, they be-
ing unable to attend earlier.
-FOUR CARED RACE
The first event on the programme was the
four Dared race, the Williams-Greeley crew
and Joyce-Barry crew being the contestants.
The Greeley-Williams four drew the choice of
positions and chose the inside. At the word
"go'', both crews got away we'll together, the
Greeley Williams four having slight advsn-
tage which they maintained to the turning
stake, but being slow In turning, their rivals,
who made much better turn, got away before
them, working well together and rowing for
all they were worth. B 9th crews took direct
course for the wharves, the Joyce Barry foar in
thei- eagerness to get the shore position COM
ing in contact with their opponents and caus-
ing foul. Up to this time it promised an ex-
citing finish, but as the Joyce Barry crew were
unaolo w Bet away WITHOUT giving their rivals
an advantage, the finish proved uninteresting,
the Greeley-Williams coming in ahead. The
race was given the latter crew although many
felt that it should be rowed over again. No
time taken.
THE SINGLE RACE
next took place with NJ. G. Davis, J. Randall
and G. Mclean for contestants, Davis gained
an advantage at the start and led throughout
the contest, Randall second, Mclean, third.
Time, 10.2S3.

Gibbons making it exceedingly warm for Gree
ley and Williams from start to finish Much
cheering was INDUCED in, the boats being to-
gether throughout the entire course. Greeley
and Williams crossing the line about length
ahead. Time, 9 30a.
The distance rowed was about mile and q
half, starting from Portland bridge, rowing to
Custom House wharf and return. VIM.
O'Connell officiated as referee.
