His enter- prising owner has also been disturbed in mind over the prospect of depressed prices It 18 to put the latter in a more hopeful mood that the following opinions are published: The Breeders' Gazette of March 29th last says : “The demand for handsome carriage and coach horses remains far in excess of the available supply. The shippers find that many agents of private buyers are scouring the breeding districts for choice horses, and offering in many cases much larger prices than ‘a shipper can pay. This means that the supply is really shorter than it seems, as private buyers will often take a four-year-cld that a shipper cannot afford to handle. The shippers are complaining that they cannot compete with private buyers. and that the latteraregoing wild in their competion for horses. “‘estern Agriculturist and Live Stock Journal: “ Horse-breeding is reviving throughout the W'est; the draft horse importers and breeders have inquiries and visitors like old times; of course many have not yet got their courage up to paying importation prices, but those that have stallions know that when these are sold they cannot be replaced except by importation and we all know that horses are higher in all Europe than ever before. However there are so few stallions to be had and so many wanting the best that it is just a question of who buys them first.” The St. Louis National Live Stock Re- porter : “The apparent scarcity of native horses, the recent advance in their values and the large demand and small receipts of western range horses have caused the $5 to $10 per head." Mr. F. J. Berry, president of the National Horse Breeders‘ Association of the United States, in a recent address, says: “Great changes have been continu- ally going on, business has revived, prosperity has returned, the year 1893 be- ing the most prosperous and successful year in the agricultural and stock line that this country ever knew. It brought with it a great demand for all agricultural products. Stocks of all kinds have advanc- ed very much ; cattle, hogs and sheep are high, and the best kind of road, carriage and coach horses are as high as they ever were, also the best grades of heavy draft sell for as much money as they did in high-priced times, with;a strong demand and good prices for blocky, smooth horses from 1,100 lbs. up. Mr. J. H. Sinclair, a prominent Texas horse breeder, says: horses that are cheap. The bicycle and the horseless carriage have their place, but never will they drive out the superb roadster, the spanking team and the swift courser. Men and women love the saddle and the reins and they will pay well for good horseflesh." The Farmer and Stockbreeder, London, England : “The foreign demand, which has been gradually improving, is confi- dently expected to make a big leap in the near future. and those in the know, while lNDSAY, » , l -" 3 1'1 pound for (1055 {88(1. predicting a stirring trade in the fall of I_ Emmi: : -‘~> * 3 .'~ Jill be fed as cheaply as this season, feel certain that next year )mway Eur a.

That it will come is the firm belief of all, and this belief is not merely based on imagination, but princi- pally upon advices from old customers abroad. The Australian, Melbourne, Australia ; “Horse-breeding has languished very much in late years, and, as a consequence, good draughts cannot now be had for love or money. If someone does not start breeding soon, horses will become an extinct race like the moa of New Zealand. In fact, they are now so scarce that one has to give a very high figure for an animal if it is anything of a good stamp.” An opinion more distinguished and not less trustworthy than those above is that of Lord Minto, the present Governor- Geueralof Canada, who recently said : “I have had several opportunities of sitting behind Canadian horses, and have always found them good horses, snowing excelent quality and speed. There is an inclination on the part of the gentlemen in England to buy Canadian horses for smart carriage work. I know of several friends of mine. who have done so. They are no doubt influenced a good deal by the tremendous- ly high prices the Londun dealers ask for carriage horses. Still, it is also fair to say that the general soundness and ex. celleuce of imported Canadian horses has a good deal to do with it.” _.+â€" -â€".lohnn Johnston of Verulam, who was sent to the hospital in Peterboro, arrived home on Saturday, in good health and in first rate condition.

Evidently the farmers in that section, who have been patrons of the factory now for several years. have discovered that there is money in the business. â€"Thos. Esson, and Geo. Winters, of Harvey, crossed the ice in Pigeon Lake on Monday morning 17th inst. There was open water for some distance at the shore on each side. Starting at Sandy Point. they paddled a small punt to the ice and then drew the punt over the ice to the opposite shore. It was a long pull but the ice carried them all right, and they got across. â€"The Arthur D.

Mr. Thompson has just turned twenty; stands 7 ft. 5 inches in his socks; weighs 209 lbs. net, and is a very agreeable sort of a fellow all round. He dosen‘t let show life spoil him. The youthful son of Anak says he is still grow- ing and will probably reach the eight foot mark. at which, ' as it is, he now poses among the patrons of the Yankee side shows. â€"Mr. Robt. Beith, M. P. P.. of Bowman- ville, was one of the most successful exhibitors at Toronto's big spring horse show, winning first prizes with Squire Rickell, 2yr old Cordelia, first on Jessica in harness for high stepper, sweepstakes for best Hackney bred mare and the English Association's gold medal for best- Hackney mare bred in Canada. Mr. Beith also won second prize on best team over 15.2 and third in Four-in-hand. Mr. Beith made two good sales at fancy prices. selling Oliver and Roland to Mr. R. T.

It is this fact that makes the order of so much importance to Deseronto. It is to be hoped that more orders will follow, and that the spectacle of train loads of Canad- ian iron made from Canadian ore for export will be a familiar sight in the near future. The present output of works is about 1,000 tons a month. The consump4 tion of charcoal for the same period is from 70 to 75 carloads. -â€"-l‘he village of Havelock is very much excited over an edict of the C. P. 11., re- quiring conductors and brakcsxnen, now residing in that village to move to Smith's Falls, so that they may run both east and west. 1“. P. Brady. assistant superintend- ent, visited Havelock last week and gave a few trivial reasons for the change. He stated that the move wonlc. not be a financial gain to the company, but might be a convenience. The Havelock Stand. ard says that it looks as if it was a scheme to boom Smith's Falls. of which place Mr. Brady is a resident. The order if carried out will cause the removal of from l0 to 45 families from IIavelock, and the town would eventually become a deserted village. A deputation of the council and the trainmen will wait on Mr. Tait, the general manager to try to avert the calamity. â€"Mr. Josish Perrin, of South Monaghan passed away on \Vednesday April 12th at the age of 90 years. The funeral took place on Saturday to the Baptist burying ground, Baillieboro, and was largely attended. Deceased was one of the oldest residents of the township, having resided there for 81 years. He came from England with his parents in the year of 1819 and settled in the township in which he died and the present homestead adjoins that where his parents settled. Mrs. Perrin died somt four years ago. Deceased was a. devoted member of the Baptist church, and in politics he wasa Reformer. Out of fourteen of a family, ten survive him, five sons and five daughters. The young- est son Herbert, and the youngest daught- er, Etta, are on the homestead. The other sons are Mr. C. C. Perrin of Oakwood; Josiah Perrin, of Pontypool ; Joseph and \Villiam of St. Mary’s. The daughters married are Mrs. Earnhardt, of Peterboro; Mrs. Rutherford, of Dakota; Mrs. Joseph Byers and Mrs. Robinson who reside near the homestead. -A very sad accident occurred at Burkcton, Manvers township on Wednes- day April 12th, which resulted in the death of an old resident in the person of Robt.

It is supposed that he did not see the rope and they ran one each side of him, the rope striking ‘him in the chest and throwing him to the ground. ,On running to his assistance, it was found that his spine was injured, and he was picked up and carried to the house, and medical aid summoned. but it was of no avail. Being a heavy built man his injuries were severe and he continued to grow worse, until death ended his sufferings on Thursday night. Mr. Hall Was one of the oldest residents of this section of the count: y having come here with his parents from Gavan, Ireland, when a lad of three years old and settled in Darlington. On coming to years of maturity, he struck out for himself and farmed successfully on a. large .scale, until thirteen years ago when he retired from active work and he and his estimable wife have since resided at Burketon. He was a man of integrity, 3 good friend and a kind neighbor. He leaves a widow, three sons and five daughters. â€"From all accounts there is apt to be serious trouble in store for parties involv- ed in the death of an infant girl at Hunts“ ville. Muskoka, last week, which a coroner‘s jury has determined was caused by “want of attention and wilful'neg‘ect.” The wife of J. T. A. Couillard, a barber, gave birth to twins last December, one of whom died after 22 days. The other, a girl, expired on the 13th inst. The medical man in attendance refused to give a burial certificate, and an inquest follow- ed. From the evidence it appears that the child was normal when born, but through lack of nourishment and proper care died as stated. Sores on the body were attributed to neglect, and Drs. Hart and Howland, who conducted the post-mortem stated in their report that the heart was natural, except from its anaemic condition, and that death was caused in their opinion by a long continued hypostatic congestion of the posterior part of the lungs, which must have been produced by the child be- ing kept too long in one position and not having taken suitable nourishment. The mother of the infant in her evidence, said she was not very strong. She had two other children to look after, and she did the best she could. Risks In Feeding Alfalfa. It is one of the risks of feeding alfalfa that it may act in too stimulating a manner on the kidneys and after a short time produce a soft, watery swelling un- der the jaws which indicates a bad con- dition of the blood, and whatever the special cause of it may be. whether â€"An order, While not large in itself, but from the liver or the kidneys, immedi- of importance as an initial step in the ate treatment is called for.

They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does not taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work is a burden. What is the cause of all this? impure blood. And the remedy? It clears out the channels through which poisons are carried from the body. When all impurities are removed from the blood nature takes right hold and completes the cure. If there is constipation, take Aycr’s Pills.

FOR THE SPRING OF 1899. Wâ€" I have something new in the above line of goods to offer this Spring to intending purchasers. About four years ago I introduced the first sect of the justly celebrated RICHARDS long distance axle, and they gave such satisfaction that I handled quite a number of them last season. Mr. Ling of Mariposa, Mr. Fanning of Cambray, Mr. Cayley of Ops, Mr. O'Connor of Ennismore and Mr. Howard Davidson of Little Britain were a few of the purchasers, and those gentlemen would not exchange them for any other axle made. They are a high price, but withal a cheap axle, all their gnod qualities considered. They are guaranteed to travel 1000 miles with one oiling, and are perfectly dust proof. The oil is distributed from the cups in such a manner that it reaches just the spot where it is needed. This year I have gone into this style of axle very largely, and I want every intending purchaser to call and be convinced that it is the axle, and the only first-class axle In use to-day. Don’t fall to see the 1000 mile axle before you buy. It will pay you to have a aett. I have something new in shots that I Want you to see also.
