The Wesie,,, Agricunnrist says-More heavy horses
arc wanted In all our horse markets The prices rulc
hyh and the supply IL Short while the demand Is al
most unlimited Tor heavier horses Tho heavy freight
wagons the cities, towns and manufacturing dis
ricss require them, every iarmcr wants at least
team Of heavy horses to be able to plough deep with
. good large plough, TO haul good load the
farm wagon. While we have large surplus OF
small worthless orses, and although some Of thcm
promise to be FAST there IS no market Tor them.
There many OF the QUO kind, and every farmer
has one or more SELL but ho cannot get enough for
them 10 pay tho cost of raising them Then IL don't
pay the small horses, but since the introduce
tion OF the Norman and Ciydesdae horses they bavo
added a great Improvement by crossing with our
Western horses. The success OF these horses has
spread all the West aud almost every entcrprs-
ing farmer breeding thcm, because they will pay
profit for their raising and always find ready market
This year large numbers OF these horses have been I'm.
ported and they now well introduced throughout
ali the Western STATES
A correspondent OF the Spirit Of the Times says
sThere owned in this county (schiand, llliDois),
gray eeding years old, that stands seventeen
hands three inches IN height without his shoes. This
has always been a natural PAGER. Al i've years
old he u record OF three heats pacing In harness.
half mile track, at his case, IN 2:21ix-2:26-
2:24h. Since that time he has always been paced,
handled this season PAGER and show
ng heats up in 2:20. IN harness. ABOUT twonty-n
days before he was turned out, this TALL, he took
notion TO trot OF his own accord and has not paced
he struck the trot His owners, Mcssrs. H. Z.
h Sands used only six ounces of weight on each ioot
and with this he Is as steady and reliable ny
horse that never paced. He was not driven over
twenty times this fall after he had changed his gait
and that snort time could turn any kind OF track
with the lines his back, IN 235, and could
doubiedy show better than $50 clip. This regard
as wonderful improvement n horse just changing his
gait and particularly a horse OF such great SIZE A
purer gated trotter a moro level headed one
His owners feel confident that he will
tro TO 20 next season, aud have no reason TO
doubt their Judgment from what have seen Of this
