SYNOD OF MISSOURI.

SYNOD OF MISSOURI.
Synod met in Central church. Kan
sas City, Mo-, October 30th, 8 P. M. and
was opened by sermon on "The Sow
ereignty of God" from Ephesiams 1: IL
by Rev. D. S. Gage, the retiring moder-
ator.
The attendance of Synod was good
and quite a number of visiting brethren
were present. Synod heard with pleas
ure and profit, appropriate addresses
from number of brethren, viz: Rev.
A. l.. Philips, D. D., on Sunday-school
and young peoples work Rev. j.
j. o. Reavis, on Foreign Missions; Rev.
Homer Mcmillan, on Assembly's Home
Missions; Rev. D. R. Kerr, d. D., on
Westminster College; Rev. c. A. Nc
Pheeters, on Synodical Female College,
and Rev. A. Y. Beatty, on the Ozauk
School.
The report of the Committee on Min
internal Education, called forth very
earnest and prolonged discussion be-
cause of the great scarcity of candidates
for the ministry. The Synod was NOV
ed with compassion as 1T looked out up
on the churches, so many of which were
scattered as sheep without a shepherd
Earnest prayer was made to the Lord
of the harvest to send forth laborers
into His harvest
Complaint.-"In voting to sustain the
complaint of Rev. H. B. Boude, D. D.,
and Rev. Xenophen Ryland against the
Presbytery of Lafayette, the Synod rem
ders the following as it's judgment in
the case, viz: "The action of the Pres
bytery of Lafayette in refusing to COM
mend the Endowment Fund for Minis
terial Relief to the liberality of it's
churches was in disregard of lawful
injunction of the General Assembly and
on this account has the disapproval of
Synod" Notice was given of complaint
to the General Assembly against Synod's
action.
Overture.-"The session of the
Columbia church out of a profound con-
viction of duty to the interests of
Christ's kingdom respectfully overtures
the Synod to give expression to it's con-
viction that the time has come for the
organic reunion of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States and the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America
The Synod, after considerable discus
sion of the report of committee on bills
and oveTtures, which recommended that
the overtures be declined, adopted the
following substitute: I'VE answer, to
the overture from the session of the
Columbia church, that this Synod puts
itself on record as earnestly desiring
organic union, between the Presbyter-
ian Church in the United States and
the Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America, so soon as the OBJ
stacles to the union can be removed,
and that we devoutly pray for the re-
moval of these obstacles"

She chatted freely about her ranch life,
saying that she preferred II greatly to

How They Rear Horses.
In chat with Mr.. Robinson about
horse rearing he said:
Our horses take care OF themselves.
We Craze them for a part OF the year
on tho prairies here near the Elbow
hills of the Rockies, where we have
another large grazing territory. We find
1t best to let the horses hustle for them
selves. They come out stronger and are
worth more than grain-fed Stock
We formerly paid considerable atten-
ton to breeding, keeping tho stock up
for that purpose. or lnto years we have
turned tho stations OUT with tho horses
and let all hustle for themselves. we
divide the horses up into droves OF about
fifty each and give every drove q stall
lion, keeping the drovcs separated for
two or three weeks to allow them to
become acquainted with each other. The
animals are then driven together into
one herd and they pasture in common.
Every stallion, however. will take care
of his own mares. He will not allow
any OF the others of his sex to come
near them and will fight for them on
tho slightest provocation."
Draft Horses Pay Best.
What breeds of horses are the most
profltable?"
I'VE can make more money from draft
horses than from any others. have
about 300 four-year-old animals which
Will weigh 1,5oo pounds apiece. Those
horses will bring $500 pair, ana they
are far easier to raise than the thorough
breds and require less trouble to train
them for the market"
What breeds are your draft animals?'
They are chiefly. Clydcsdales. I like
them better than the Percherons. Their
limbs are cleaner and they are better
for general purpose horses"

I'VE don't expect to raise corn. We

The. screenings and rough wheat are
saved for feed and the cattle Craze on
the stubble. When wheat Is low 1t is
more profitable to feed 1t than sell It.
