has increased somewhat, owing to cooler wealth

stock they need. Chickens and eggs are scarce.

The supply of horses is equal to the demand
and can be bought at reasonable prices The
prices of horses vary so much that it is a very
difficult matter to give ruling price. Good
farm horses and mares can be bought from $50
to sl20; pings and inferior grades from $40 to
$685. Heavy work horses, none Offering, and it is
not likely this kind of horses would find buyers
at paying figure, as they always sell at higher
prices Well bred, fancy driving horses none in
the market. As to whether they could be sold,
we are not able to decide It seems to us that
the breeding of heavy draught horses should at
once become part of every Dakota farmers
greatest interest, for several reasons. II will not
be long until Dakota will have more horses that
will be needed at home. The farmers then will
have to seek market in the east. In order to
be able to realize good and paying prices, they
must have the kind,of horses that will meet the
demand of the eastern market-that is, two
kinds, heavy work horses. or we'll bred, good
steppers. The first, every farmer can raise with
out much additional expenses thelatter requires
time and money. 1t seems to us that where
horses can be raised so cheaply as they can be il,
Dakota. that.every farmer should have enough in
! tcrest in his own business to make this matter a
| study.

The daily gazette., 1878-01-26

THE GAZETTE says it is hoped that the
number of "consummate fools" at WASH
ington will be largely increased when the
vote is again taken on the silver question.
The editor of the GAZETTE should be
sure to go down.-Eyery EUening and
Commercial.
"Consummate fools" is the epithet that
the Ecerg Evening and Commercial ap-
piled to the Senators who voted favora-
bly, to the reconciliation of silver, and
we might feel that we had been compB-
mented in being invited "to go down."
But what has the E. E. and Com. now
to say to the 164 gentlemen in the House
who voted for the Bland Silver bill, on
its passage, and whom it then called
'fools and knaves 2" Does it still stig.
matize all the Democrats who favor sill.
yer as a legaltender as ''fools and knaves'i
and "consummate fools" now when the
silver dollar is about to be placed on q
par with gold?
