sad and terrible crime came no
alone through the personal mad

personal fanaticism which was and
is the fruit of the greed for public

public Office is the property of the

THE crops of the farm, or its product
m manufactured goods, should be so
sold as to bring their full market value.
In innumerable instances this fails to be
done for lack of mercantile knowledge
on the part of the farmer. The same
line of reasoning which l have used
in comparing the manufacturer OF
other goods with the agricultural manu-
facturer holds good in this matter of
trade. 1t is not alone necessary that
the wooden or cotton mill owner shall
make up his stock of material economi-
cally into first-rate goods of their class,
but he must also know how to sell them
for all they are worth. No less incum-
bent is this upon the farmer, if he is to
reap the full results of his knowledge,
labor and use of capital But here the
farmer labors under disadvantages, due
not alone to faults inherent in himself as
an individual. Combination and coop
GRAFTON in other lines of business have
been so perfected that every man en-
gagged in these can know exactly the value
of his goods in every market, can trans
pOiO OuOlu W lutb ludTkcb db " lllDlluuHl
expense, and sell them strictly on their
merits. The farmer, as at present sit
uated, fails on every one of these points.
The market reports of all agricultural
products are almost universally manip-
ulated in the interest of buyers. Farm
ers are utterly powerless to deal on
equal terms with merchants and manu-
facturers in the matter of transportation
rates. And there are vast difficulties in
the way of obtaining full prices for the
best goods. Buyers everywhere expect
to cover their losses on inferior stock by
getting tirst-rate goods at less than their
true value.
The remedy for this state of things
will only come with increasing intelli-
gence among the farming class, which
will enable them to cooperate cheaply
and effectively in matters of trade. But
meantime it should be well understood
that these evils bear much more lightly
upon those farmers who produce the
best goods and "read the papers. ="
Gradually the agricultural interest is
rising, and its just demands are meeting
with attention, but only because atten-
ton is enforced by the intelligent and
resolute attitude of the self-respecling
farmers. Examiner and Chronicle.

Breaking Colts.

THERE may be something good and
useful thus far unwritten as to how to
break colt well. | may be allowed to
try. When only about one week old,
put on the foal (and let remain) the head
part of halter. Soon after attach
hitch-reins, by which teach it to be led
and stand hitched quietly, without pull
ing backward. But, if not before, as
soon as weaned break to halter, then
commence to take up all its feet and
clean hoofs with hook and short broom,
thus serving double purpose-by clean
illness to prevent thrush and slipping,
and also to get it well used to having its
feet handled preparatory to being shod.
If of very large size, and showing con-
siderable "high stuff" it may be well
to commence breaking to harness at one
and a halt years old. First, in stable,
put on all the harness, and spend con-
siderable time in adjusting each part
and buckling and unbuckling every
thing. Tie traces into breech-rings,
pretty closely drawn, buckle both girths,
use no blinds on bgidle, and only loose
check-rein. Let the colt stand several
hours at time with the harness on.
After some days of this usage, small
string of bells may well be attached to
the girth. Take the colt out of doors
with harness on, and, first in lot, after
ward in street, teach it to handily be
driven by the reinse and to turn out on
meeting teams and turn around corners.
Go different routes daily. Then teach
it to back, first by taking hold of the
bride, afterward by long reins. Always
on return home teach your colt to stand
still while being embarrassed. Three
weeks daily lessons of this kind, and
your colt will be fit TO hitch to a light
but strong sulky. Not less than two
persons should be in active attendance
now; and first commence by simply
placing one off shaft in the holder, and
let the attendant barely keep it in
place with left hand, while he holds the
large ring of the bride bit with the right,
yourself meanwhile leading the colt for
ward by the opposite bit-ring. Should
the colt show signs of much fright, the
shaft may be removed from the holder
and gently let down on the ground /;
then try again, and so on; when it cares
nothing for the sulky, then traces may
be hitched, etc. Thus the ultimatum of
good and easy breaking may be accom-
plished, and so moderately and gradual
" done that the colt will never know
when he is being broken. -Cor. National

SaWdust Sand Bars.

THE trouble is at Minneapolis, Mime
sofa. There are large number of saw "
mills there producing an immense quap-
tity of lumber annually. For conven-
fence these mills allow the sawdust and
edgings and other debris to fall into
the river. The engineers report that
this stuff does vast amount of damage
to the river, neutralizing work that has
been done at great expense, and con-
stantly forming new distractions where
none existed before. They say that this
sawdust, when thoroughly wet, forms q
mucous that CLUES the sand together in
Jumps, which, settling in the river,
causes bars. They attribute to this
cause the formation of hundreds of con.
stantly changing, fatal distractions OF
this character, and are unanimous in de.
manding an abatement of this nuisance
The lumbermen are opposed to any leg
islation on the subject, as it would en-
tail upon them the necessity of cartine
away or burning the dust and edgings,
which are now easily disposed of by
dumping into the water. Mr.. Dunnell,
of Minnesota, intends to push the bill to
abate the nuisance upon the reassem
bling of Congress.

The novel exhibition of hundred
head of cattle sliding down steep hill
for distance of fifty yards or more
was one of the incidents of the sleot-
storm at Oxford, Ind. On arriving at
the brow of the hill John Moore, the
herder, endeavored to stop them from
going over, but was too late. Almost
instantly the whole herd were on their
knees, then, falling over on their sides,
they shot off down the mill with frightful
velocity, many of them assuming the
most grotesque attitudes in their de-
scent. In his efforts to head them off
the herder slipped and fell, and never
stopped until he brought up with thud
against a huge steer at the bottom OF
the hill. None of the cattle were seri.
ously injured.
