Apollos and hisvisit to Achaia (vs. 24-28). Apollos was a learned man and an eloquent orato;:, yet he knew new nothing of the baptisna of the .•.+-oly Spirit. "Aquila . and Priscilla unfolded to him thewonaerful fact Ora Messiah already come. They gave him the history of the incarnation, the ir,ir. axles, the crucifixion, the resurrection, the ascension, the pentecostal outpouring and the commission to convert the world. The pupil was soon superior to his teachers." Apollos soon went into Ach- aia, of which Corinth was the capital. Here he pretohed with great power. He appears to have had good success. • II. Paul's preaching and miracles (vs: 1-12). Paul soon came to Ephesus. This was in accordance with the promise made them when returning from his second missionary journey (chap. 18. 21), Ephe- sus was notonly the capital of the pro- vince, but was the city of the greatest importance in all Asia Minor. At Ephe- sus _Paul preached the deeper truths of the gospel and, through the laying on of the apostle's hands the Holy Spirit ame upon the disciples (vs. 2-0). 8. Spike boldly -Paul went to the syna- gogue on al! occasions of religious serv- ices, and it appears that the utmost freedom was given him in preaching the gospel. Disputing -"Reasoning." -R. V. 9. Were hardened -The majority of the Jews hardened their hearts against the truth, and at .length the leaders pro- claimed their hostility and reviled Christianity publicly in the synagogue. This conduct induced the apostle not only to renounce, on his part, all fellow- ship with the synagogue, but also to withdraw the whole number of the Christians from it. The Way (R.V.)- The term Way is here given as a dis- tinctive name to the Christian religion. School of one Tyrannus-After leaving the synagogue Paul chose the leoture room of a man named Tyrannus, as a place suitable for his religious teaching. Inasmuch as Ephesus was a Greek city, where literature, philosophy and rheto- ric flourished, this was doubtless the school c.f a Greek rhetorician. The room was open to Paul, not only on the Sab- bath, but also at all other times. 10. This continued.... Two years-. To the Ephisian elders he said he had not ceased to warn them for the space of three years (Acts 20. 31). The two state- ments must not be regarded as conflict- ing. To the two years should be added the three months of vs. 8, and • - . the time which pied Pararl's the synago reckoning the years ma one full year and part of a ye r which preceded and followed. All,...whiclx dwelt in Asia heard -During these years in Ephesus Paul made a. profound im- pression and all Asia was stirred. "Aid- ed by his faithful fellow ministers, and perhaps by his consecrated twelve (vs. 6, 7), he could not only thunder the Iaw and the gospel from the academic hall of Tyrannus, but in the surrounding rur- al territory, and even the other great Asiatic cities. Thousands who came to Ephesus to worship in the temple of Din- na, came to hear the gospel of the Savior in the school of Tyrannus. Other thousands heard that same gospel from the apostle's faithful missionaries; so that literally all Asia heard the word of the Lord"Jesus." It was during this period that the seven churches of Asia, and probably many more, were establish - 12. From his body -The Revised Ver- sion here is to be preferred. Aprons - These aprons had probably been used by Paul in his ordinary labor when working at his trade as tent -maker. Diseases de- parted -"They resorted to this course, prabably, because the throng was so great that the sick could not be brought directly to the apostle, or in Lome instances were too infirm to be removed from their houses." -Hackett. It is well to notice that the apostle did not recommend such a course, but the faith of the people was such that they resorted to these methods, and God was pleased to honor their faith. Ill. Vagabond Jews defeated (vs. 13- 17). 13. Vagabond -"Strolling." -R. V. They were similar to modern gypsies and fortune-tellers. "Certain Jews who went about from place to place, profess. ing by charms and spells to cure dis- eases." Exorcists -Men who, by the au- thority of the name of some powerful being, solemnly assumed to require the demon to depart so effectively as to be obeyed.-Whedon. Call over them Knowing that Paul cast out demons through the name of Jesus, they thought that by using the same name they could produce the Sarno effects. Adjure you -We bind you by an oath. -Barnes. Whom Paul preacheth-No doubt they had often heard Paul proclaim the divinity of Christ in the hall of Tyran- nus. 14. A chief priest (R. V.) -Just why this title is given to him we cannot tell, but he was probably the head of. one of the twenty-four courses and a ruler of distinction. 15. Evil spirit an- swered -The evil spirit in the man, spoke through the man. Compare Mark 3: 11. Jesus I know, etc. -That is, 1 know his power and authority and 1 know Paul as his servant. Who are ye -You have lib power or authority; you are not his followers, and so are only pretenders irk the use of his name, 16. Both of them (R.

Naked- This akedThis need not be taken in its strict Sense. •It could be applied to those stripped partially of their' rameirt.-- Hackett(. 17. This became known (R. V.) --- Gradually the news was spread abroad. Fear fell -This occurrence cre- ated a great sensation, and produced a fear of that myterious power which was ascribed to the name of Jesus -Lange. "The 1 phesians were so bound up in belief of magic that it seemed neces- sary to show that the gospel was mightier than these other powers, which came from Satan, the father of deceit:" Was magnified -"The transaction show- ed that the miracles performed in the name of the Lord Jesus by Paul were real and proved the doctrine, he taught. Imposters could not work such miracles, and those who pretended to do so only exposed themselves to the rage of the evil spirits. It was thus drown that there was a real, vital difference be- tween Paul and these imposters, and their failure only served to extend his reputation and the power of the gospel." IV. Many converted (vs. 18-20.) 18. that lead believed (R. V:) -These were either professed Christians, whose con- version had not been genuine, and whose consciences were now so power- fully wrought upon that they were led to confess their sins; or now converts to Christianity who, before this time, had not received the light on these things. Came, and confessed -When the conscience is truly awakened there will always be a humble confession of sins committed. Declaring their deeds -(R. V.) -They told how they had been eon - fleeted with superstitious practises, and had indulged in witchcraft and sorcery. 10. Oexious arts -Arts or practises re- iring skill and cunning, such asznagie f ,Jzancl; which are practised ly in Eastern countrie.& mks -There were no books then such as we have now; these books were parchment rolls which contained their mysteries and described their heathen practises.

Under the shadow et the temple of Diana at Ephesus,, where superstition' and miracle -workers abounded, "God wrought special miracles by the hand of Paul; so that frprit his body were brought unto the sick iiandkerehiefs or aprons, and the diseayas depart, from then-, and the evil spirits went out of them" (vs. 11.12:) . in 'every age mira- cles have prdved the, power of God. Ephesus was the centre,of magic, rvitch- craftt and jugglery. Tee Ephesian let- ters were celebrated. Tin.v were a com- bination of lettere on .cards, which, be- ing pronounced with certain intonations of the voice., were bell red to he effec- tual in curing disease; and expelling evil spirits:, Being wpitt.n on pareh- ment, and worn, they were supposed to guard from: evil spniteear"1 clanger. In such a city, amrnlg pretended magical wonder -workers. Paul rets given special power to do even gre ^ ter things 'than the sorceress pretended ro do. II. Imitations of C n^i-tianity end in failure. Certain a 3erciats, seeing Paul's wonderful . :a,.. irnpiously. sought to imitate hhe Paul had cast out evil spirits and they would do the satire. Paul had reit ;Beni out in the name of Jesus and' they sought to do it by the same methoci; but tley could not say, "We adjure tea by the name of Jesus Christ whom nee love and whom we serve:- they s rd, 'elf adjure you by Jesus whom Pahl l+rcae .eth" (v. 13). 9 a Raising High -Class Colts. As to the crab of raising a colt to the age of three years, these is such a dif- ference in individuals, even of the sans: weight and breed,and there are so many classes and breeds requiring different quantities of foetal, :at it°is impossible to make a statentent of cost that will apply to alI; and met producers differ greably in maitiagenre,it as well as in quality and kind, of food used, that any 'statement flaw., uz neeessity, ,differ with the praetiu end experience of ninny. So 1 will ea iea,vor 'to show net. %enable coat of p daoing colts' up to three years of age of the wedinm draft class ,,having colt faded about the last of 3viare.h or first of April.

The quantity of food advised for first winter'is too much to commence with; about one pound of oats per day is enough before weaning, to be gradnall increased until the middle of winte when the full ration s)�ou1d be fed an the grain continued in May, makin the quantity required for first year bushels. The first year is importan and any stinting that retards growt then it is difficult if not impossib to recover from and acquire one po sible size. For a colt to consume an assimilate that quantity of food it wi require considerate exercise twice a da 1 take it for granted that all the wate desired by the colt will be given it .a last three times a day, and that as! will be placed where it can be got a will. The breeding life of mares about 12 years, and ten foals may b looked for, so that the annual dear elation of a brood mare would be $22.0 The mortality in brood mares is di ficnit to estimate. In several tbousan eases in my practice it was 8 1-2 pe cent.. but as there were a large pe ventage that did not require veterin ary attention. and a few that died wit! out an onortunity to see them, 1 b lieve that 1 per cent. mortality woul be a full average where proper atten tion is given during pergnancy and a tinie of delivery. Therefore, to cove death loss and veterinary attention t noires, $5.00 is allowed, and by intell gent care this 'ran he redueed. mortality in foals is also diffic average. In thousands of cases unde env observation from all conditions an diseases, such as abortions, diffieul parturition, joint i11, and other die eases, the percentage of deaths wa twenty-two. As many olts did no require veterinary attention, and man died without such attention, I bcliev that about 8 per cent. of all foals di either in utero or before they react three years of age. The loss is diffieul to estimate, but it is three times great er than with mares, requiring, say $15.0 to cover. Much of this loss could be avoided by better rare of the mares and sires. I bare not credited anything for work that may be done by the :rare, as that requires favorable dream stances to be probable. Brood mares and two-year-old colts can do desirable work, but it is doubtful if it is profit- able .to pay the wages current and have a man earn it with either a mare nters- ng a foal or with a two-year-old colt. 'hoc probabilities are that the foal or older colt will he injured or kept back considerable, but when light work is (irefully performed neither will be in - eh -ed. Colts of the light class require ue-third to one-half less than heavy olts, as it eosts about the same per grind to grow either class, providing they are equal in conformation and ispositiou. My exlierience is that it re- uires as much food to produce beef as ersei•,1 weight, and a high-class light- arness horse will bring three or four imes as much money as will a good feet, so that the man who possesses the skill necessary, and applies it to the nooessful production of a high-class colt, hether heav3t or light,_ need not fear ing well remunerated for his time, hile the man who does not take an in - rest in colts, but does in steers, had ter raise steers, . The price a horse- iser should receive for good draft colts three years of age, or a few mouths der, should average $250. Cost of pro- nation, $194.22; profit, $55.78. Many other foods may be employed. an those named, but the cost will be most the same, and for the bulk of the feed nothing is better for colts and ho than mixed clover and timothy ay and oats, all harvested in prime ndition. Rorsebreeders should endea- r to prune condition. Horse -breeders high class, and the misfits will sup- y all the general-purpose horses de - tended, , they being a class without a nerally-accepted definition. Many not 1 -informed horse -owners and 'talkers im what they have as general -pur- se, regardless of form and action. neral -purpose horses are always cheap the market, and should not he aimed by breeders, as it takes as much food produce a pound of inferior as of supf or horse. As to the care of colts vie eers, there is not much different*. To reduce good ones of either class, inteT- gent attention is nacessary,. and,. value sideeed, the colt does not require any ore roux than does the steer. e. 4_. J. Standish, V.
