Nearly every owner of good foundation breed- ing stock is disposed to disregard the dictates of reason. The decline in the quantity and quality of horses for, heavy work and for pleasure driving has greatly decreased, so that a short- age in numbers is evident at present, and a djmunicion for the next two or three years is clearly apparent. The supply of heavy draught horses is now inadequate to meet the demand of the present times. Prices for good, fair draught animals have been as good during the past year as could be ex- pected in comparison with the values of grain and some other farm pro- ducts. Following so many years of bus- iness depression, the immediate future should command an advance in values of all kinds of working horses that are sound and properly broken for ser- vice. There is en old saying that his- tory repeats itself. They who remem- ber fifty years back, and all who will read closely the record of business de- pressions of the past two generations, must note that what are known as "hard times," have always been fol- lowed by reaction for the better. All casual observers must note the disposition of the average individual to abandon a business when it is dull and to take up with any movement which shows an upward tendency. The last twelve months have shown a renewed confidence in the horse, and that it still has many friends. The wheel is no longer so valuable that it needs to be counted as a. supplanter of the noble equine. Within three years at the farthest, the values of the horse and the wheel compared with former days will no doubt be reversed. The effect of this condition on the better grade of horses for pleasure driving, will be very stimulating. People who ase flush with money are disposed to spend it on the costlier of two pleasures which they may compare. The fact is daw•nin, on many people now who have experimented with the wheel, that tiere is a. great deal of work for the individual who rides. It is readily noted, too, by every one, that storms, mud, snuw and extreme heat or cold, are not good companions for a trip on the wheel. In the future, most peo- ple who would keep their own convey- ance for traveling on business or in quest of pleasure, will return, if they have wandered off, to their loyalty to the good horse. Without , question there will be good, fair values for the better grades of horse flesh with the opening of the new century so near at hand. All who have breeding faci- lities should plan and operate at once to be ready for the coming demand which is surely not far away. They who would make the most of the pleasure horse of the future, in growing it, must also teach and traini n from colthood, following the idea of early maturity in teaching. With pro- per feeding and with right handling, the owner of a. colt may bet remuner- ated in full for time which is judiciuus- ly spent in fitting the horse of later years for the demand of modern times. They who note the call of the times, should not fail to profit by it if they will. Right training is three-fourths the horses value .

A noted dairy expert says that the effect of feeding fodder corn was that the cows ate a great deal more and so produced more. You cannot make a whistle out of a. pigs tail. When corn is sown at the rate of two bushels per . The corn it is soft and wash acre, n y does not, make perfect stalks, and can- not perfect the sap to make nutrition any more than a flagstone could pro- duce the nutrition there is in a stem of clover.

To recapitulate, 11 per cent. of . the toads food is composed 01 inseots and spiders beneficial or indirectly helpful to man; 80 zeroe t of insects a d other anima',is directly injurious to cultivat- ed crops or in other ways obnoxious to man. Further commeut upon the valuable services of the toad would seem unnecessary, THE BEST EGGS. • Welch is really best; the white egg or the brown; the large egg, or that of medium size? There is much argument in the poultry papers of late; trying to prove that the birds which lay the "best dozens' at the shows, are really the best utility birds. If the judging were based on uniformity of color and uniformity of size, just fax enough above the average that the breed. could be held up to at, the point might be considered proven. But too often the eggs are over -sued, double -yolked, per- haps, merely because the hens are out of condition, too fat, or otherwise. Looked at from the producers stand- point, the frequent over -sized egg is not desirable. It costs more to pro- duce, it injures the sale of the average, and as a rule, it brings him no more money. Nevertheless, the breed that always lays good-sized eggs—if there are enough of them—is a good breed to have. The consumer likes such eggs. KEEPING CIDER SWEET. To begin with, cider for drinking should be made from sound, selected fruit. Put it in a. clean barrel and let it stand until fermentation begins, then draw it off and strain and put back in the barrel or transfer to an- other. There are different things used to check fermentation and keep the ci- der good, and almost any druggist can give a plan for it. 1 have but one formula on hand, and that is to add to a barrel of cider three-quarters of an ounoe each of oil of cinnamon and of wintergreen well shaken up in a pint of alcohol. Doubtless many of our readers have other and perhaps better recipes, and we shall be glad to hear from them. 1 recall that in; my younger days mustard seed was used for this purpose, but I do not know the quantity necessary for a bar- reI. PRICES IN THE KLONIDKE. aIorketiltg 10 Rawson City Requires a Long and Cat Purse. A man now in the Klondike fields writes that a woman can go shopping and marketing there if she likes, but that her purse must be long and fat. She will find such dress goods and art- ticles of woman's wear as she is able to purchase many times the price in Can- ada, and always old-fashioned. If she wants to buy flour, she is like- ly to have to pay anywhere from $12 to $100 for asack of 100 pounds. Good porterhouse steak costs $2 a pound. Bacon is never less than 80 cents a pound. For canned goods she will have to pay from 150 to '250 per cent. high- er, and even at that they are consider- ed cheap. Rice, that cheapest of all commodities, is 75 cents a pound in the Klondike, while tea:, even the poor- est, is not less than $a a pound, and that absolute essential, coffee, is sometimes, on bargain days, sold (at $2.25 a pound. Butter is a distinct luxury. If the feminine emigrant gets it she will be lucky, and in any event she will pay $4 a pound. If she is a married woman, and wants to give her husband eggs with his coffee, she will have to be willing to pay for the eggs at the rate of x43 e dozen. No one can turn up his nose at potatoes at the Klondike, for they cost $2.50 a pound. A lemon at 25 cents is considered very cheap, and it is a fortunate day when anybody can buy oranges at 50 cents apiece. This menu is not so very extensive for this part of the country, but it is for the Klondike. A real course din- ner at the diggings would be con- sidered something to be marveled at. duce a full degree of tite nutrition it would produce if it were perfect. A cornstalk or stem, deprived of the sun- light on account of the thickness of the crop, cannot have the outer coat or epi- dermis pidermis and the joints of a fullgrown stalk, and it never will contain the sugar and starch a perfect plant will contain. It is impossible to get perfec- tion erfeo-tion out of imperfection. We may get a thing—something—but we should not be satisfied with this shortened result when we can so easily obtain perfec- tion. erfeo-tion. Corn must be grown corn fashion, not grass fashion. Experiments with- out number go to show that perfected corn is best. The truth is that, we never get so muoh nutrition out of a plant as when it is perfecting its seed. This is the Culmination of plant effort, and all its powers, forces and contents are combined to do this work and this is the time to utilize it. To perform the work it must be healthy, vigorous and complete. A soft, unnatural, weak and immature plant cannot fill its natural functions, as it does not contain the cells, tissue or space. Soft, flabby, fod- der corn is not the best kind. ri1HE EXETER TIMES J Is published. every Thursday morning at Times, Steam Printhig House Ma'n street, nearly opposite Fitton's jewelry store, Exeter, Ont., by JOHN WRITE & SONS, Proprietors, RATES OB' ADVERTISING First insertion, ser line 10 cents.

A very noticeable fault of many par- ents is that of continually reminding their children of their naughtiness. A child who is told how "bad " he is ev- ery time he transgresses will finally come to the conclusion that ho never could do anything right. It has fre- quent ly been noticed that the best chil- dren are those who aro not reprimand- ed so often, but flee praised whenever they are good or do what is pleasing to nurse or parents. Such little ones will strive to do„right, for children very love to please, and the v y best way to train a child to be good is to expect good things from him. With most people it is harder to praise than, to be cross with children who are unruly. Of course they must be taught to know the difference between tobe obedient • andwrong,and right 8 but such expressions as ” you horrid child," or " you bad, bad boy," etc., con- stantly dinned into children's ears will not improve them. Try praise for a change and seg how quickly they will reform when they find out their ef- forts are appreciated. THE QUEEN. Why She Is honored stud Respected the World Over. London, es every reader knows, has reoeutly witnessed one of the greatest aggregations of human beings that the world has ever seen. Millions made pilgrimages to the huge capital to do homage to her, who, for sixty years, has sat upon the thione of England, and who is one of the most beloved women who ever lived. When, along the line of tlie vast pro- cession, her subjects saw her, very many of them wept tears of joy. The salvos of artillery at Spithead, when the greatest naval review in all his- tory was being held, did not rever- berate by a thousand times as far as VARIOUS HOUSEHOLD HINTS. During this season, when there is much lounging about on the grass, light dresses and clothes become streaked and blotched with green, and make extra trouble in the laundry. Do not put such clothes with the rest until the green is removed. First dip the articles in warm water. In the water may be a little ammonia or alcohol. and allow the art- icle to remain a few minutes; then wash out in warm soapsuds. Great care mnist be taken with delicate colors which fade„ and it may be best to set the colors first by laying the garment in a solution of salt and water. Many people' are fond of pickled on- ions, but (housewives are averse to put- ting them up because the strong juices and oil are painful to the eyes. It is claimed that if the onions are placed in. a pant of water and the peeling and slicing done under the surface there will be no such trouble. It is a simple remedy for anything so disagreeable, and well worth trying. Here is a very simple •,remedy for driving away flies,, and one which costs nothing. Pick a bunch of sweet clover and bangs it in the room to dry. It is said to keep the flies away, and there is nothing unclean or disagreeable about it. As it grows wild in all fence corn- ers and on the prairies, every one can procure it. Straw mattinge may be cleaned by wiping them with a Cloth dampened in warm salted water. Another way is to sprinkles Indian meal over the floor and then sweep thoroughly: Grease stains may be remoyed from matting by wetting the spot with alcohol and rub- bing it with/white Castile soap. Let the soap dry, and tten wash it off with warm saltece water, Doughnuts dry put very quickly, and sometimes there will be a dozen -or two not fib to eat before the batch is dis- r i 1II II II 11 III 1,{xN1N,• n n u, w nn s t n 11 num l ul. un muum l I ,_I tl l It I 1111111 I N 'opit' gPS' m,numnt 1aaamnamnlmanhi80000lflawt@Ilmesenowam miuouimaiimfmmtmo®nnawroummmrmnmmmmaomwsnr AVegetablePreparationforAs- simil-aling ttteroodand Reg uta - ling the Stomachs andBowels of • Promotes Digestion,Cheerful- ness atldftest.Contains neither NluO m,Morplline nor I'TmeraL OT NARCOTIC.

"Why, he took his dram," said Uncle Si, covering the barrel with a board and laying a subsoil plough on top of it, "but they want no better man altogether in the county than Pete. ale was as Bine a man as I ever saws As 1 said,) he had bis faults, but outside of them he wuz a shore 'cough gentleman and one ov the high miadedest Christian citizens we had."

"It wuz. Sam wuz it?" said Uncle Si, taking off his spectacles and wiping them on a bolt of calico. "Well, nowvl Think ov the ways ov the Lord.

Nor was tuts au. et was nota mere form. It came from hearts throb- bing with love and reverence for one woman. Now, what was the reason of this? A mere sial y years' reign is not in it- seli enouge to arouse the wuoie world's eager recognition. .ene fact that many empires have changed, or tended to de- cay, while one has grown in power and influence, does not answer the ques- tion. To rule over one-fifth of the globe, and to be the sovereign of three nundred million people, does not nec- essarily command weet:tion, or engen- der liomage. When a mere girl, this eminent wo- man was intormed of her accession to the British throne. The first remark she then made has been the keynote of a long life that has brought the world to her feet "My lord archbishop," she said, with deep feeling, "pray tor me." To refuse audience to a titled sub- ject because he had led a question- able life; to surround herself with the purest court in Christendom; to be high-minded in all public concerns; to be judicious and wise in the affairs of state—these 'have indicated her character as ruler and empress. The world for many years has seen and warmly acknowledged them. But the great Jubilee represented more than this. It was the spontaneous ntaneous trib- P ute of a great empire to true wo- manhood; the deference of civilization to the regal embodiment of Christian principle. The virtues and graces that Christ declares show obedience to Divine au- thority are far more compelling to the hearts a,nd minds of men than rank or genius, and the glory of this queen rests upon the fact that she herself is subject to a higher sovereignty than her own. The royalty, of her char- acter lies first and most in this—that she recognizes the grandeur of obedi- ence to the King of Kings. • Tho fac- simile signature of ClBelrR'i i3ELX.1)1.
