MFXICAN HORSES

Horses arr bred in great numbers a;
the different hacicndaS IN the provinces,
some of the larger estates having eighty
or hundred thousand cattle and fifteen
or twenty thousand mules and horses.
The paSturacc is green all the wear round,
and the animals receive no other food.
They multiply as the binds do, and with
as little prom, 20 their owners. Generally
speaking, they ran wild until wanted,
when they are caught with a laSSo, hood
wlnkcd. and immediately mounted For
the trst Is or 20 minutes they exert their
whole strength 90 throw their rider, but
finding their efforts uuavaihnS, patiently
submit, and generally give but little trou-
Die aherward Owing 20 their immense
numbers horses arr sold very cheap, the
average price for an unbroken herd being
eigh. or ten dollars d head, with but little
demand a, that. l. sometimes occurs
tina, the Government purchases a few
hundred for the army, but, generally
speaking. there are very few occasions
when they can be sold Mexican horses,
as O. rule, are not handsome, and are sell

pony about them. Fed entirely upon
grass, they vet endure more fatigue and

of other lands. In the towns and cities
they receive the Scantiest of care and the
meagercst allowance Of food. Tied up
the whole day in the sitting court yards,
they stand patiently awaiting their even

loose together, when it requires the use
Of lasSo to catch them. 50 familiar

HINTS FOR BIRD-KEEPERS.

\ lady sends 70 the Rural Ne.s- Yorke,
these rules tor the care Of canary birds
During the summer season you should
have both d drinking cup and a bathing
dish in the cage, and should wash them
well twice d day, and I'll them with fresh
water. The seed-cup should be filed
every morning.
The room in which the bird is kept
should never be warmer than 10 deg.
Give plain food. Now and then a
lump of sugar does no harm; but as q
general rule avoid sweets. Keep the
cuttle-fsh dry and clean, and feed only
fresh and dry seed
Never place cage where a draught
can strike the bird.
Never smoke in room where your bird
Is kept. as the odor Of cigar Is fatal to
canarieS.
As a general rule, never keep the birds
in d painted cage, for the birds will peck
al the wires, and It w.ll lead to disease.
When Your bird Is shedding feathers,
which is generally styled mOul1ing, avoid
draughts of air.
BY obeying these simple directions you
can keep birds in excellent health foi
years

INTELLIGENT WORKMEN
NEEDED.

Notice was taken in recent issue OF
this paper of the experience of large
shoe manufacturer of this State, who ad-
vertised in Boston and New York for
TWENTY-FIVE shoe filters TO work IN his
factory. offering fun current rates and
steady work. The advertisement brought
one application.
About the same time a Boston firm
advertised for bookkeepcr, and next
DAYS mail brought 547 answers.
During the same month an advertise
ment for a clerk in a Detroit paper
brought 1870 applications the first day
and a greater number of letters and per-
sonal applications the next day.
An advertisement for week in the
same city, calling for a good carpenter,
brought only four replies
1t Is altogether probable that in any
considerable city in the land, an adver-
tisemcnt for a bookkccper or retail clerk
will bring fifty times as many replies as
AN advertisement for fam workman IN
in any trade.
II is also probable that in any and ev-
erv city the average earnings OF clerks
are nowhere near 50 large as the earnings
of workmen of average skill in the vari-
ous trades.
Further. it Is fairly certain that, with
equal capacity, industry and thrift, the
Young man who learns any trade Will
achieve reasonable competence sooner
than the Young man who sticks to clerk
ing: while the chances for materially I'M
proving ones condition are more numer-
ous in trades th.n behind the counter or
at the desk.
Why /, it, then, that the boys all
want % De clerks; Why is 1t that IN
,eliscn, parents encourage them In look
inc for chance to get into business
and in looking down on mechanical en-
plovmentS-as though there could be any
calling more wretchedly mechanical than
average clcrking, Why is II that teach
er, almo>, invariably train their pupils to
..look above mechanical pursuits
What the country wants now Is work
men-.ntc.Ii-cut, Industrious, thrifty
workmen. men who can DO skiltully the
work ,ha, waits for the doing-who can
invent new means and better processes
for developing the crude resources Of the
land. and for converting crude matter IN
toE.c->u>,aiuinsa and litc-enuching wealth.
Mere clerk, and record keepers are at
a discount There are too many of them.
There never was a time when ability 20
DO something real and practica! was
worth So much as now Yet our Young
men swarm after clerkships Why Is

Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1879-09-16

In 1861 the expectation Of fruit 20 for
eign parts amounted 70 only S269, 600;
while in the year ending June, 1917, 1t
amounted to nearly 100000; and
every year indicates az increasing trade.
Il Is doubtful if the frui, crop of this
country, as a whole, was ever so large
that il was improbable. An extensive
grower Of western New York, whose large
farm Is classed as one Of the best grain
farms in that section, assured me that.
by keeping an accurate account Of the
expense and returns OF his various farm
products. he was able to state that when
his apples would bring him one dollar per
barrel, they were more profitable than
any of his other crops. But he was "a
man who looked constantly after the IN
terests Of MS orchards as well as MS wheat
and corn fields
But It Is not anticipated that every
land owner viii raise fruit as a business.
The object of the writer Is simply 70 en-
courage more general cultivation of fruits
for personal pleasure and home occupa-
ton. Every one, who has bit of land,
may proftably utilize It with a few trees
and small fruits. Thousands, who de
pend upon an uncertain market, could
furnish their own fruit and berries from
their gardens, and their upeness and
freshness, together with the knowledge
that they are the result Of ones own
care, render them much more gratifying
than market fruit, which seldom reaches
theconsumerin a perfect condition. Hard
" garden is so small that few apples,
cherries and pears, row OF euTTants,
