So it is throughout the whole cata- logue of evil habits.â€"â€"Terna.do Among Human Tobacco Shrubs. The gambler, with 'his state of heart,’ finds more pleasure at the gambler‘s table, than he would at the Lord’s table. Are you now pleased with the taste and smell of tobacco? Most certainly you are, or y u would not use it. This is a question of pleasure from beginning to end. All evil habits rest on perverted bodily pleasures and on nothing else. But “ the pleasures of sin,” even in this life, are immeasurably less than the pleasures of holiness. When all restraint. is remm ed, and men are left free to enjoy their own heart’s love, they always feel most- at home where the excernal sur- romldings correspond to their inter- nal states.

Mr. Colin Blyth was in last week on business. There is another class of settler. who have a little money and above all they are possessed of some per. serverance and they are succeeding very well and have large clearances. They make a good living by staying on their farms the year through, While the majority of Settlers are forced to work out some months through the year to keep things moving. Farmer bachelors are very numerous in the District. Yours Truly, H. G. \VARD, Big Forks, Rainy River, Ont. on that score can be made at psese: the supply of all the products of t farm not being half enough to supp the great demand this winter in tl numerous lumber and mining camp in the district.

Potatoes are selling a‘ 75c and $1 a bushel and other root and vegetables sell quite as well. E right. ‘ The next point I wish to touch up- ' on is the diffel ent classes of SBttlt 1'3 011 Rainy River. The new settler in ltraveling on the steamboat up the 1 river for the fi1st time notices num- Ierous farms from the deck of the boat with very small clearances and from enquirv of the captain as to 1vho lives on such and such a farm, he is tale! that so and so lives there and has been there for eight or ten years as the case may be and has not ' any n101e clearing now than they had some yearsago. You are also told that there are a very poor class of settlers on Rainy River as the fore- going remarks show and'that the settlers coming in now are of a. better class. One can notice in their travel several cases where acres of bush has been chopped and burnt off and then has been neglemed till to-day it is being overgrown with unde1b1ush. If you ask them why they have not more clea1ing to show for the long time they ha1e been here they 11 ill tell you it was useless to clear and crop so much because there was no sale for their grair. Whatever the state of the mark: 3 may have been 1n the past no 9X01; Crabtrees are planted out by some of the settlers and being hardier than apple trees they are g1 owing and do- ing well. So far I have not; heard of cherries and plums being grown but i An addition can be added to the farmer’s income by keeping poultry. Eggs are 150 a dozen in the summer and are dearer in early spring and ] autumn the supply as in other cases Inot being nearly equal to the de- imand. All the small kinds of fruit such as curranrs. goose-berries, rasp- berries and strawberries do remark- i ably well, but the probability of rais- ing apples successfully has not as yet passed the experimental stage, but from the tests already made of a few small apple trees by a few farm- ers for the last three or four years they promise with proper attention to grow successfully here. Aboutfi sixty small trees of three years‘ growth grown from seed are doing nicely but the tender shoots are occasionally cut off by frost. I am told that apples have been grown and ripened successfully some where on the shores of Rainy Lake. A few sheep are kept; by the largest farmers and are said to succeed fairly well. no reason why this demand should not; be supplied .by the farmers on Rainy River, instead of by those elsewhere. ” (Continued from lst page.) Stock and horses sell at a good figure and the demand for them is increas- ing as the settlers make progress in clearing. Another branch which offers plenty of SCHpe to anyone who desires to engage in the business, is hog raising. The local supply of pork is a long way ofl’ from leing equal to the demand on the river itself and which for the greater part is shipped in from outside places besides the vast quantity required at the numer- ous mining and lumbering camps operating in the district.
