The Farm Horse for the Farmer,

The great excitement over. the fast run
ming and fast trotting horses should not de-
ceive the farmer as to the kind Of horse that
is most profitable on tho farm. The farmer
who knows and acts up to his own interests,
wants none Of your flyers to draw his pillow.
to run his reaper and mower, or to freight
his wheat or hay or other produce to mar
ket. While the millionaire can support a
2:l2 1.2 trotting horse to amuse his leisure
hours with or to put in the hands Of a
jockey to win more with on the race track
work of the farm, and in raising colts or
buying them should never lose sight Of this
fact. Neither is the heavy draft horse the
horse best adapted to the use of the farm
or. A close built, medium sized, easily
kept horse-one that has a quick step, q
gentle disposition and good degree Of in =
telligenoe and can be adapted to all pur-
poses is the farmers horse. The Morgan
breed OF horses, crossed with almost any
other blood, has always proved cross in
the right direction for the farmer. Per-
haps at the present time the Percheron
horses are among the best horses known
for crossing with other breeds to make
good farm horses. The Perchetons are
larger horses than the old Morgans, but
seem in many particulars to possess the
good qualities Of the original Morgan, ex-
cept that they have not quite SO great speed.
The farmers horse is not the popular horse
at the agricultural fairs. The horse that
Ellis the eyes of the millions at these fairs is
the very horse that is in no one sense adapt
ed for the farm or agricultural purposes.
This is simply one fact among the many
that show that agricultural fairs, so called,
are not turned SO much to the advantage Of
farmers as to that Of other classes. Farmers
should not be misled by the eclat that fast
horses create. The popularity of the fast
horse, to great extent, comes from the
mysteries and fascination of the pool-box.
The fast horse has his place and his purpose
as well as the farm horse, and he should be
admired and improved to the better fill that
place and purpose-the road and speed
just as the farm horse should be improved
to ill his place before the pillow, reaper and
mower and farmers road and freight wag-
on. But let not the pool box lead the farm
ers astray in the selection Of the horse for
his farm.

A Spartan Bride in the West.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A young man and his sister were hired to
teach school in Clay county, Kentucky,
in partnership, the young lady TO teach the
first half Of the school and her brother the
other. Very soon after the young lady be-
gan teaching one of her largest male stu
dents became her fellow" and in a very
short time they were married. Not long,
however, after they were married the young
groom and another one of the brides stu
dents engaged in little knock down. -
Each of the offenders were brought before
the fair disciple of the rod, was given an
impartial trial and the young groom was
proven to be equally guilty with the other,
aud was given his choice of leaving the
school or taking whipping. He chose the
latter; SO his newly made bride did herself
fair justice in the use of the rod, gave her
husband not a few stripes and cutting the
blood out in not few places. Since then
everything has passed off pleasantly.

For she only came this year;
But she's just the blessedest baby!
