About Buying Horses.

F. X Moreland In Country Gentleman.
Few persons have sufficient expe-
rience and judgment to select horse
with any reliable certainty of getting
what they want. a farmer can buy
a pig and not be deceived. 1t re-
quires only small amount of expe-
rience to select a flock of sheep. Dairy
farmers naturally acquire considerable
experience in regard to the qualities
of dairy stock, as result of constant
care given to such stock. But when
it comes to dealing in horses, those who
can rely wholly upon their unaided
judgment are few. There are SC
many things requisite to constitute a
good horse, and the absence of these
requisites is very hard to detect. The
defects of form, constitution and tenn
permanent are hard to discover and very
easy to conceal temporarily. A rough,
hard skin, Indicative of poor digestion,
may be concealed in a measure by good
grooming. Many incipient weaknesses
and blemisheS of the feet and limbs are
exceedingly difficult to detect while the
animal is in motion, unless in case OF
positive lameness, and even then the
extent and location of the injury can
be ascertained with much greater GER
tainty while the animal is at rest. II
is hard to ascertain whether a horse is
balky or kicker, or has run away,
until h. actually does it again.
The experienced purchaser can al
ways exact definite warranty from a
responsible seller, or in default of such
warranty, can insist upon chance to
try the horse. In any case where an
honest dealer wishes to sell horse for
what the animal is worth, he cannot
refuse to warrant horse in any re.
quired particular. Any other course
savors strongly of an attempt to de-
ceive one who has no sufficient means
of acquiring a knowledge of defects
and faults easy to be concealed. ANY
honest dealer can have no objection
to any course that will give the fullest
information to the intending purchas-
er. 1t is easy to say that farmer
should raise his own horses; many
farmers do not care to do this. Often
a farmer is obliged to purchase; he
cannot go without horses, and it re-
quires more time to breed them. A
farmer cannot always buy a horse
which he knows to be a good one, for
quite likely the owner of that good
horse wishes to keep him; hence the
necessity of caution when buying a
horse.

How TO Mn Fires in the Bud.

A correspondentwriting Of the Sand
witch fire, which spread over thousands
of acres, gives the following suggestions:
Remember that pail of water and a
broom or green bough are good nipple
ments with which to check running
fire on the ground. Wet the broom and
sweep out the fire Where water is
scarce, in a case of this kind, a little
may be used to good advantage in this
way. Sand is sometimes used to check
a running fire. At one time a wet
blanket was found to do great service
At another time garden sprinkler was
used successfully. At one time, where
a collection of people were Yachting a
bush fire, fearing to go near it, a reso-
lutte young man dashed in and the fire
was subdued. Have presence of mind
In such cases and act promptly. 1t is
said that more wood and timber are
destroyed by fire in this country than
falls before the ak. It seems as though
intelligence and prompt action might
prevent a part of this wholesale loss Of
property, valuable in more than one
respect Boston Journal

recognition of the strength of our
cause and the near approach of the full
recognition of woman's political rights;
that it is the duty of the Legislatures of
Iowa. Oregon and Indiana to ratify the pro-
posed woman-suffrage amendment; and
that the enlargement of wonlaIls political
