growers who are willing to unite their
forces. For it is scarcely necessary to say
that even if Mr.. Eckman proves the max
ing Of paper stuff to be profitable On .
large Demerara estate, it could never be
made profitable, even if it could be done
at all, on the cramped scale which would
be implied by the estates in the smaller
islands remaining isolated from each other,
each working, that is, on it's own account.
In the various discussions now going ON
in regard to tariff changes to be made
under reciprocal treaties we may also see q
possibility of improvement. Should such
treaties be completed with the Spanish and
British islands there would be a market in
the United States for cane sugar to the
exclusion of beet; and in case they are
made it will be highly important that the
Danish islands should not be left out of
the bargain, not because the gain will be
very great, it may possibly be very small,
but because these islands if left out from
such arrangements would find themselves
excluded entirely from the American mar.
ket by all artificial barrier. The proposed
HiSpano-American treaty and the British
negotiations at Washington have therefore
very great interest for us. 1t may however
be safely left to our Home Government to
watch a matter of so much Importance to
its colonies, and to take what steps may
be necessary for securing their interest.

Horse Stables.

The Bucks county correspondent of the
Germantown, Pa, Telegraph ys:"A far
mer who besides other stock owns num-
Der of horses, tells me that be has al
ways given special attention to his stables,
and with few rare exceptions, in long
series of years, has never been troubled
with blind, lame or diseased horses. He
has always kept his stables well drained and
lighted. Darkness and the yapors arising
from damp, unwholesome floor are not un,
frequently the origin of serious and per-
manent disorders. A stable should be as
well lighted as house He has the floor
of the stalls level in his opinion lameness
and several kinds of disease have their
origin in shopping floors. Each stall meas
ures six feet by nine and partitions divide
it from the adjoining stalls; the liberal
size of each stall allows the horse to turn
easily and to comfortably stretch himself
when he lies down. Openings at the base
of the stable admit fresh air and holes at
the top allow the impure atmosphere to
TO make its exit. Foul and badly-ventilated
stables often produce CHAMBERS and other
diseases, and it is often highly important for
the health of the horse that he should have
dry and comfortable quarters.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
the profits of the cattle trade of Texas,
says: Cattle raising is here the most pro-
fitable business. Calves reach mature
growth at three years, and losses from
death occasioned by storms or disease are
comparatively unknown. The average ex-
pense of raising beef is S., whilst they
average in the market $50, thus making
$50 clear profit. 1t is further estimated,
from records carefully kept, that each COW
will in ten years, through her progeny,
produce forty head, which aggregate $1,000
There is no business in the country that
yields such enormously large profits, and
none that has so uniformly enriched those
who have followed it. There was time
when cattle raising was carried on by meth
DDS of doubtful character, by employing
dishonest Mexicans at 80 cents head for
all calves they would brand; but that day
is past, and the system now carefully OBJ
served is that each cattle raiser brands the
calves with the brand of the COWS to which
they belong, and thus the owners of large
herds look only to the markets, through
their agents, for the income arising from
the sale of their stock This has reduced
the business to a system which involves
simply the expense of an agent at the vari-
Gus markets, whose duty is to keep record
of the brands of the cattle sold and the
price realized The owner is relieved of
counting his herd, only watching his bank
account as it rapidly improves by the de-
posts made by his agent.

Many horses are actually killed by kind
ness. Letting them stand in the stable
from one weeks end to another without
any exercise of any kind, because they might
hurt themselves if let run loose, is very in
furious. To keep them in the right condi
