The Farm Horse.

There are many errors committed by
farmers III selecting breeding stock for
farm horses. Size merely will not
do. And in this respect there are fla
grant impositions practiced by importers
of the Clydesdale and Norman horses,
in losing sight of muscle and action,
in the rage for enormous size. There
must be previous careful breeding to
develop the best qualities necessary to
insure endurance and action. These
do not come alone from clover pastures,
heavy feeding of oats, or from extra
grooming, but from the very best pa
rentage. The walk is the best gait for
the farm horse. But the uses of the
farm horse are varied and multiplied.
And although the heavy draft is needed
to turn the soil several inches deeper
than is the practice, and to take to the
railroad station larger loads than the
universal scrub has been in the habit of
doing, the farmer of to-day is different
ly situated from the farmer forty years
ago. He has the good family carriage,
to propel which at a good speed he
cannot afford to keep special span
of horses. So the farmer wants horses
of weight and strength to do heavy
work, but at the same time have endur-
ance with quick action. And this is at
tanned only through a long line of an
cestry, selected and mated by wise
breeders. There are an abundance OF
heavy Clydesdales and Norman horses
in the country. but the farmer has one
of the most difficult tasks to select from
among them the horse possessing the
proper muscular development, thor
oughly established through well known
line of ancestry. Big legs, and ungain-
ly bumps Of flesh, roughly piled togeth-
er, are too often recognized as noble
specimen of the horse. But the true
horse should be stately in form, grand
in style, free and energetic in action, of
superior intelligence, and mild and do.
mestic in disposition But these must
be bred in the bone. Do not breed to
any horse for the reason merely that the
owner is particular friend and good
neighbor. Such friendship is too cost
". And beware of the smooth tongue
Of the keeper of horse deficient in all
good qualities. Men of this quality are
q great curse to the community.
But there is more for farmers to dc
than to be careful in breeding. In rails
ing horses for sale, they should be thor
oughly trained. Frequently a good
Judge sees the making of fine horse in
the hands of farmer ignorant of the
Jewel of horse he has. He is bought
for a moderate price, put in careful
training and in few weeks is sold for
two or three times what the farmer re-
ceived for him. The farmer lost this by
not developing his horse by careful
training. It is, therefore, necessary to
be careful in breeding, and especially
in training and Developing

Persons suffering for any great length of

to ind themselves afflicted, sooner or later, by
such annoying symptoms as sores, blotches,
pimples, impure blood, headache, loss Of

pad dreams, etc. Evacuation Of the bowels

ence is essential to good health and longevity.
When this function, through neglect, intem-
perance, gluttony or vicious indulgences, be-

these parts. This excellent medicine quickly

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving her
house its spring renovating, should bear in
mind that the dear inmates OF her house are
more precious than many houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by purifying the
blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure .he diseases arising from
spring malaria and miasma, and she must
know that there is nothing that will do it SO
perfectly aud surely as Hop 2itters, the purest

LOTTERIES.

"Although for sixty years the
Constitution has prohibited lot
teries and the sale Of lottery tickets
in this State, and laws have been
duly enacted for the purpose of en-
forcing such prohibition, it is noto-
rious that the nefarious traffic still
continues to flourish in the larger
cities to an alarming extent. Els
pecial efforts have been made dur
ing the past two years to impress
prosecuting officers with the impor-
lance of greater vigilance in the
discharge Of thei duties respecting
this gross infraction of both consti-
tutional and statutory law. Unfor-
tunately, however, these efforts,
with but few noteworthy excep-
tions, have not as yet produced sat-
isfactory results. Penalties for the
violation of these enactments
should be more severe, and the
duty Of the various officers of the law
made more specific and imperative.
With an unrestricted constitutions
al prohibition for remedial laws to
rest on, no effort should be spared
to stamp out this defiant and
shameful transgression of the au-
thority Of the State. The subject
is worthy of consideration, and will
doubtless commend itself to your
attention."

Does PrOhibitiO II Pay!

ED. FREEMAN For the benefit
of those who are in doubt as to the
success of prohibition, | want to
give these facts.
The council of a small town on
the line of the G. & O. r. r. grant
ed liquor license in 1880. They laid
levy of thirty cents on the hun
dred dollars and came out in debt.
In 1881 the council refused to grant
license, and with a levy Of fifteen
cents on the hundred dollars had
some funds on hand and the town
was out of debt at the close of the
year.
Some parties who were in favor
oflicense, went at the beginning of
the no-license year, to a merchant
in the town and told him that he
might as well shut up his store.
Their plea was that because the
council had refused to grant license
there would be no business that
year. They thought CD he could
not sell enough to pay expenses, In
1880, under the license system, he
sold about $4,000 worth of goods.
In 1881, when he was to fail, his
sales were little over $4,000. Let
the reader make his own calcula-
tions. r. OVER.

Liquor, Lotteries, Lawlessness.

We copy from the recent message
of the Governor of the great State
of New York on the topics named,
though not in the same order:
CRIMES OF VIOLENCE.
THE frequency and atrocity Of
murderous assaults is an alarming
feature Of our times. Without in
vestigation to prove the fact, there
seems to have been, during the
past year, marked increase in the
number of brutal homicides,
Scarcely day passes without the
publication of some horrible TRACE
dy, generally perpetrated on weak
and defenseless persons. In much
the larger proportion of instances
these terrible deeds are directly
traceable to the habits of intemper-
ance. 1t is lamentable in the ex-
IRENE that such a condition should
exist in a period Of anexampled
prosperity, when, to all appearances
an unusual degree Of comfort and
contentment abides with the great
mass of our population. The rea-
sonable certainty of punishment in
recent years demonstrated, SEEM
ingly fails to arrest the tide Of bru-
tality; and little sat abstraction is ex-
perienced in contemplating RENE
dial measures for its prevention
The subject is pregnant with grave
Importance, and should engage the
most serious consideration of all
thoughtful and law-abiding citi-

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The manifest inadequacy of the
laws for regulating the liquor traf-
fic must be cause Of regret to all
good citizens. Licenses are granted
to hundreds and thousands of par
ties pretending to be hotel-keepers,
whose sole occupation in the way
Of public entertainment consists in
selling liquor; while in still
greater number of instances liquor
is sold openly and boldly without
license. Such common and con
temptuous defiance Of law is a
standing reproach to the dignity
and peace of the State, and ought,
by every consideration of decency
and morality, to be rebuked and re-
pressed ....
The evils resulting from the sale
of liquor, even within the pale of
law ARE bad enough and always to be
deplored but the degradation and
ruin resulting from the wholesale
violation of law and order are la
mentable in the exreme. Crimes
most wicked and revolving, Of al
most daily occurrence, are attribu-
table, in nearly every instance, to
the bane of intemperance. All hope
of relief from this unfortunate CON
dition of affairs depends on judic-
ious and effective amendments to
the present laws. The highest in
terests Of public well-being demand
attention to this subject, and with
out causeless delay.
