Advices ‘to Canadian Farmers

Hon. J. C. Abbott, who went to Eng- land some time ago in connection with the Letellier matter, writes from London to the Toronto Mail, giving some valuable advice to Canadian farmers. He points out that an extensive and profitable trade in poultry and horses can be carried on with England, if the stock is of proper quaiity. He says: ‘* A horse sound and yeung, say fifteen te fifteen and a half hands high, of ordinary quality-—-such as would sell in Canada for from a $100 to $150, would not bring mere here than from £25 to £40 according to his looks—and the difference would not pay the expenses of bringing him here and sel- ling him. But a horse three parts bred, half a hand higher, with plenty of bone, short belew the knee and hock, with slop- ing shoulder, lean and well formed neck and head, powerful eneugh to carry fifteen stone (210 Ibs.) through a couple of hours run across country—and with seme little training to give him a good mouth, and teach him to jump—would feteh anything that might ve asked for him.” Mr. Abbott gives his experience attending a sale of horses that had ridden after the Queen’s hounds, and says that although many had marks of firing and blistering on them, the prices realized at auction was from 2500 te $1,800 each. ‘* The lesson this teaches,” says Mr. Abboit, ‘‘is plain enough. If any farmer wishes to breed horses, let him try to breed ‘such as will sell fer one to two hundred guineas, instead of for one to two hundred dollars. The latter will scarcely pay the cost of breeding. The former will sell in Canada at a handsome profit. But it is not necessary to raise hunters to get such prices. T he large bay carriage horses —standing sixteen hands and over—with

HASTERN

Jless blood than hunters, and more w eight,

will fetch equaly ; good average prices, ‘and are as easily bred. - The Cleveland bay horse is the breed for this purpose, and there is no difficulty in obtaining them. A well matched pair of carriage horses is worth here from two hundred to four hun- dred guineas, or one thousand to two thou- sand dollars, without running into fancy prices ; and they will sell readily.” E

THE Queen has conferred the honor of knighthood upon Bessemer, the steel in- ventor. He has elready won in his short lifetime what few inventors ever achieve—a large fortune, and now come the honors. As Sir Henry Bessemer he is one of the few, the very few rea! knights of iadunsty. There is hi wdly any instance in history where such gigantic results have been pro- duced as by ‘the Bessemer inventions. His success may justy be deemed a triumph for mankind.

HOOL MEETIN¢

The Conference Sabbath School Meeting was held on Friday evening in the Brick | Church. On the platform were Revds. C. Comben, 8. R. Ackman, W. W. Lodge, and Dr. Sutherland. Chair was occupied by Rev. H. Smallwoed. There was a much larger congregation than on the previous evening —thejchurch was crowded, Throagh- out, the meeting was very enthusiastic. A report was read by Rev. Robert Wilson, author of ‘Never give up.”

Rev. S. R. Ackman was the first speaker. He disputed the commonly received opinion that Robert Raikes was the founder of the great Sabbath School institution. He traced its origin before the time of Raikes. Moral and spiritual culture was declared to be the object of the School. This was said to be a work of benevolence.

Rev. W. W. Lodge, in a very neat and efficient speech, spoke of great institutions. He instanced the family ‘and the Sabbath School. The wonderful influence of the Sabbath School was referred to. The Sab hath School was designed to train the young. Not that it alone had this work to perferin. The family and pastoral visita- tion were alse helpers. Hewever, there was an absolute necessity for the Sabbath School, from the fact that, without it,

religions training. Very appropriate was the reference to the Sabbath School as a family, where all sat at the feet of Jesus. lt was declared to be the teachers work to awaken the conscience.

Dr. Sutherland called this an important institution. lt has ceme to be peculiarly recarded as a connecting link between the family and the Church. No church is now considered complete without such an er- ganization. The importance of maintain- ing this institution becomes imperative, when we remember that the tendency of

education is to absolute secularism. If we want to get rid of the trashy litera- ture abroad, we must crowd it out with ’ sound literature. The

Sabbath School was declared te be the only way of relieving large numbers of neglected children, This institution was declared to have a great claim upon us, because it was designed to save children. The people Were urged to appreciate the object of the school,

teachers and others were exheried not te allow the ‘‘ Bereau Leaves” prevent them from searching the Bible. To ‘‘ sharpen” the conscience was placed before teachers as their duty. Many other good points in the speech we are compelled to pass over.

No notice of the meeting would be com plete which did not refer to the singing of a large well-trained choir, under Mr. Pope Fletcher. Most of the members belonged to the Brick Church; some, however, were from other churches. All rendered good service There was a majestic rol of harmony during the recital of the ‘‘Hallelujah Chorus” and the Dexology.” Most people were of the idea that there was too much crowded into one service ; the musical part was a sufficient feast. Both together was too much for one evening. It will be a service not soon for- getten. A collection was taken on behalf of the Sabbath School Fund.

If everybody had the same enterprise here as Mr. F. W. Fishwick, the Province at large, and Halifax in particular, would be greatly benefitted. His latest move is to extend the trips of the “Edgar Stuart” to Annapolis, thus giving the people of the Western Counties direct ‘steam communica- tien with Boston via Yarmonth, and en- abling them to ship their produce to Hali- fax in _ , om by a speedy route and at a cheap rat .

there are tain comparisons between vital statistics of Frauce and Prussia, in a recent report of the Academy of Science of Paris. Thus, it appears that in France 100 marriages give about 300 children; in Prussia, 460. It is also shown that in France the annual increase of population— births over Geaths—is 2,400 for each mil- lion of inhabitants, while in Prussia it is} 13,690. At this sabe, the population of | France should double in,170 years ; that of | Prussia in 42.
