this untortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional derangement; some distress-

Tho.Nurth\veat farmers who're.
fused to ,market, their 'wheat last
winter were not the only tbolish
husbandreu in" the country. --
They deelinded to sell when wheat
was bringing ,1 and over in cath.
at \Winnipeg, Brandon and other
paints, and, according t() present
inquiry for their stocks and the
harvest outlook, it may be a long
time before they are afforded so
favorable an opportunity to mar-
ket the produce.- But they can
console themselves that they have
companions in the .East in the
Quebec farmers, who last fall were
offered from $12. to $18 per ton
for hey, but hoped for even high-
er prices, and therefore refused to
sell. To day they gladly accept
from ;;8 to $10 per ton, and un-
less something untoward happens
to the crop they will be wise to
sell if quotations as high ati those
are presented to them. There is
no harm in a man holding, the
products of his labor for a rine,but
many disadvantages attend specu-
lation of this nature. .He is a cute
farmer who can tell ,just when to
hold and when to let go, and who
never gets nipped. We are not
very- sure it the: ,ir•ogreesive agri-
eul.turists of the Niagara Peninsula
always corns out ahead in schemes
fee scettring the best possible re-
turns for their labor. The nun.
icer of the Canadian.) farmer ia,to a
very great extent, controlled by
foreign influences over which ,he
has no control, • and which .are
pretty hard to eol'rectly gauge.
As experience goes,it is generally
safe for him to nmiket his pro-
ducts and gets his money when
prices are fairly good. Sot0on as
speculative values have to be taken
t•rtu account, there is danger that
delay ie selling may bring loss, as
it certainly has done to the spoil -
!eters in wheat and hay who re- -
fus d to sell when prices were
ccg paratively.high, beeauate they
either did not know the extent of
the shortage in these articles, or
failed to take into account the
fact that ahen one food, whether
for man or beast, becomes abnor-
mally dear, those who are in need,
of it may refuse to pay the price
asked while opportunity is pre-
sented to get another class; at a
comparatively low price. For in-
stance, the apple and potato crops
in Canada and the 'United Status,
as well as ir, many parts of the
Old Couptry, were very large last
year. Both could easily be sub-
stituted for wheat and bay as 30r4
for man and beast, and no donl)1
were, and this may in part to --
count for the small demand for
the wheat and hay of the spoor.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
TEE WHEAT 'PROSPECTS.'
Spceulutors are hammering at
the price of wheat, urging the
promised large crop as a reason
for snaking it cheaper. In this
market it sells for about 84 cents
a bushel. It in flOt certain yet
that the wheat crop this year will
be a large one. A number of
contingencies, such as continued
drought, or its opposite a wet
harvest, insect pests and fungoid
enemies, are yet liable to diminish
the present prospects of a good
crop. Both the visible and invis-
ible supplies of wheat are now
much below what they were five
years ago-1884—when it reached
512,000,000 bushels, while then
other countries on which the
world depends for wheat had much
fuller ('raps than now. The Aus-
tralian, Indian .and South Ameri-
can'whent crops this year are all
much *smaller than for the last
five years. The decline in prices
a few years ago took thousanddof
fanners by surprise, and has
doubtless discouraged many. The
surprise was the greater because
the now factor of cheap Ifildian
and Russian wheat was not then
fully understood. Under thi18 in-
fluence wheat prices were `.breed
down below cost of production
and for the most of the time have
renrialned PO ever since. This un.
We have made arrangements with
Dr. B. 3, Kendall Co., publishers of "A
Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases,"
which will enable all our subscribers to
obtain a copy of that valuable work
fro, by sending their address (enclosing;
a two -cent stamp for mailing same). to
I)R. I3. J. KENDALL Co., ENOSliOno FALLS,
VT. This book is now recognized as
standard authority upon all diseases of
the horse, as its phetionienal sale attests,
over four million copies having been
sold ih the past ten years, a sale never
before reached by any publication in
tite same period of time. We feel con-
fident that our patroua will appreciate
the work and be glad to avail themselves
"f this opportunity of obtaining a valu-
able book. _
It is necessary that you mention this

short time.
