The Passaic, IN. j. daily Herald, q
March 25, gives prominence to a sci
mon recently preached there BY Rev
Father Ascheri Of st. Francis de Sale
Church. The sermon was delivered /,
answer to one that had been d~eliyere,
by DR.. RObjent, a Unitarian ministe.
Of Passaic, in which the Unitarian
claimed there vas no hell. In his ad
dres Father Ascheri proves that n,
man who believes On the Bible car
doubt the existence Of a hell. for the
reason that Christ often spoke Of the
punishment that awaited the wicked.
Christ spoke OF it in speaking Of His
church, saying ''and the gates Of hell
snail not prevail against It," After
quoting from different passages in the
old and new Testament to prove that
the Bible teaches tat there is a hell
Father Ascherl takes up another view
OF the subject and says that a belief in
The hereafter must include a belief in
the existence Of a place Of punishment
Tor the wicked, as well as a place OF re.
ward fer the good.

HORSES FOR THE MARKET.
How TO Make the Business Pay and
Secure a Place a. q Prominent
Factor In the Trade.

III r Jacot 70 Prairie Farmer.
Inthedrst place, farmers should raise
draft horses. The breeding OF road
horses Is a speciality for which farm
ers are not fayorably suited. A light,
all-purpose horse is not the horse for
market. and therefore not the horse
10 raise. There is always an abundance
OF poor horses and they are not In de-
mand, therefore raise the very best
draft horses. Here is an Illustration:
A man sold six horses to shippers
realizing o 1900 for them; four sold for
$500 apiece and twofor $3.50 each They
were all good draft horses. About the
same time / know 81 another man who
fed two horses for market; they were
not good ones, and when he thought
they were ready for market he could
net sell them, so be kept them a while
longer, finally selling them both for
slOO. In both these instances the
horses we're about the same age. 1t
took nearly the same amount OF work
and Of feed to prepare the horses for
market in each case. 1t is clear,
therefore that it pays only to raise the
best. No direct rule for the feeding
Of horses a be laid down, but this
much may be said: The horse should
be fed and cared for by n person as
much as possible and at regular inter
walls. This person should study to un-
derstand the horse under his care; he
must know the effect to each feed and
vary the feed accordingly. He must
also know how to exercise each horse
and improve every opportunity for its
training. Teach it to be obedient and
at the same time not to be afraid Of
him. Subdue by diligence and pa
rather than by force. 1t is not
very advantageous to feed only one or
two horses at at a time. Feed several
and in that way make it a business,
and you will be known TO be in the
business and will have more buyers.
While you r selling n you viii be
advertising the Others. Be well posted
on the horse market. Stick to your
prices and bargains. Make yourself
acquainted with as many dealers in
horses IS possible. Cooperate with
them. Be frank and always represent
a horse for what he is. Build up your
business and make yourself felt as a
prominent factor. Make 1t a point to
have always good horses for the mar
ket.
