SURPLUS OF HORSES.
Why Farmers Should Avoid Keeping Poor
Animals.

Why Farmers Should Avoid Keeping Poor
Animals.
There are too many horses kept on
the farm. perhaps not TOO many when
their combined ability to do the work
required Of them is estimated, but too
many in numbers, this being rendered
necessary by want Of a~daptability to the
work awaitino them. To keep sin
horses to do the work that might be
done by four, is very poor economy, to
say the least. Thus, a horse that lacks
in a total of weight for a given piece of
work, may consume as much food as
one whose weight enables him to do
the specified work with great ease.
This would come of the better formed
horse having. not only the proper bone
development and w~ell-rounded out
muscles where he needed them. but
corresponding vigor in his digestive and
assimilative powers. Then. again, two
draft horses of. say 1,4oO pounds each,
might soyary in Their forms as to easily
make q difference Of one-fourth in the
load that could be drawn Ky either.
The breeding OF horses fit for fast
work, in some degree, has been
brought up to a better point, Unques-
tionably the breeding. OF draft horses
has. to say the least. kept fully abreast
OF the other. This is shown by the
fact that not more than one well bred
draft horse in twenty fails to move
with ease any load that is adapted to
his size and weight, while not more
than one in twenty thoroughbred or
trotting-bred horses comes up to tho
hopes or expectations of those engaged
in breeding them. This is. of course.
a random estimate, but is it not in eth
er case. under, rather than ove1stated?
Predicting an opinion upon these facts,
it is not necessary for any man to con-
tinue the use Of inefficient horses upon
the farm-or. for that matter, at any
duty whatever-as in from four to five
years from date of coupling. if selec-
tons are wisely made. the entire in
crease of working age may be so
changed and improved as to greatly
change the model and improve the ell
cheney. The keeping of horses that
arc Inadequate to do the work required
with efficiency, is fairly represented
in the retaining of an inefficient set of
hands on a given piece of work, where
a less number. possessing greater
a%daptability, would do the work much
more satisfactorily National Lie

Only q Few Signs Remaining of a Cnce

One hundred years ago there were
5000 residents in st. Mary's City,
Maryland. To-day there are two

City is in St Mary's County, in the

pleasantly siturted Oh the st. Marv's
River, a branch OF the Potomac. Last
summer st. Mary's City celebrated its
25Oth anniversary. 1t was at st.
Mary's City that Lord Baltimore and
his party landed when he settled
Maryland. To-day there is but one
family residing here. During the
school season here are about fifty
Young ladies here. There are but few
siens of the lost city. Here and there,
there are vet to be seen traces of the
foundation walls of the little city that
was; but even these are about obliter-
atcd. At this place was built the first
State House in MARYLAND. Years. af-
terward Annapolis WAS made the cap
ital. The outlines of the foundation OF
the old State House are still visible.
Many of the imported bricks, which
came from England, were used in the
construction of the church that was
built many years after the capital was
changed to Annapolis. Others were
used j n building the Academy. I'M

A Change of Base.

II negotiations which have for
some weeks been in progress with
our contemporary, and to the fulfill
ment of which there seems now no
barrier, are carried out, the next issue
OF the News will be published al
Taylor next Saturday.
For more than two years and half
we have pub ished this paper in
dead mining town, where not a man
has worked for wages, and kept above
water-paid orr debts and kept the
NEWS atioat on square business prin-
cipleS. We think we could yet awhile
carry on the battle against adversely,
but life is too short and too many of
its better days are gone for us To sit
down supinely and wait the com ny
OF the tide, which in this case is not
governed by lunar phases or other
definite time marks.
So we'll 90 not, however, without
regret at parting from the many kind
friends who have given us all the
support they could in the gloomy
times that have been upon us. To
many Of the people of Cherry Creek
we are bound by closer ties of friend
ship than any business relations could
ever cement, and to 20 out from
among them is a regret still more
keenly felt.
We nave nnbounded confidence in
the merits and future of this Dis
trict, and believe that with capital
and judieious management, IN a sin
gle year il would prove itself the peer
Of any district in Nevada. But it must
wait till the cloud that now hangs
over it Is dispelled.
As to the people among whom we
are going to cast our lot, We feel we
are no stranger there. We know
them all as they do us. And, there
as here, our aim shall be TO SO CON
duct the NEWS as to merit and receive
generous support.

The Tuscarora Times says Asses
sor Hesson has finished his official
duties in the northern portion of the
county and has departed for Elko.
Heinforms us that the assessment roll
this year will foot up considerably
over $4,000, 900, as against $3.50, 200
last year. The railroad company is
assessed at $4,000 per mile, which
with the rolling stock aggregates at
the rate of something over $l3 200
per mile. There is a slight falling of
in real estate valuation in Tuscarora,
but it is more than made up by the
increased amount OF personal prop
erty, SO that upon the whole the town
makes better showing on the roll
than last year.
