Special Breeds for Special Pur-
poses.

Al the present. more than ever in the
past. is seen the results of long continued
efforts in breeding for the purpose of ac-
comprising certain results from particu-
the uses of distinct breeds tor well defined
purposes. The place OF the Jersey is in
giving a goodly quantity OF exceedingly
rich milk on small amount of food, the
milk producing from twenty to twenty
five, and even fifty per cent of cream.
making a superior quality of gilt-edged
butter. and as regards quantity of butter
from a given amount of cream, produc-
ing more than that of any other dairy
an immense quantity of TODD to produce a
large amount eff milk. perfectly adapted
to the dairyman who sells milk. quantity
rather than quality being the chief thing
sought. not being rich in the per cent OF
cream or butter-making qualities, but in
essentials OF a milk mans" milk. The
place OF the Hereford Is to lay on the
mos. the sweetest, iuiciest aud softest beef
for the least quantity OF food given of any
of the so-called ''beef-producing breeds :"
to attain the highest superiority of car
cass in the hardest and scantiest pas
ture. and to thrive kindly and rapidly
when a small amount of extra provender
is given. Thus these three leading breeds
of neat cattle are each adapted for differ
ent uses, they are not rivals of each other
and the farmer who is to engage in stock
husbandry can select from them which
breed will be best for the special line of
farming which he proposes to adopt, and
in that line may be sure that the highest
success will reward his efforts.

Fall Care of Horses.

Persons who drive or work horses much
at this season of the year. notice how cas-
ily they sweat. and how soon after being
driven but short distance or worked only
moderately. they will be in complete
perspiration One stable man said to us
only day or two ago, that he didn't un
derstand ..how it was that horses sweat so
easily in the fall when it is cool weather"
The reason is that now horses are putting
on their new coat of hair and getting
ready to meet cold weather by fortifying
their systems against cold by means of
this extra thick, close-6tting coat. So
that, although the weather may not be
very warm. any exertion easily puts them
into perspiration. Indeed, they sweat
much easier and quicker now than they do
in the warm weather of summer. 1t fol-
lows from this that horses should now be
given extra care. They should not stand
where cold draft of air will strike them.
and if having been at work they are
sweaty, they should Immediately be care
fully blanketed. The colds and Influenza
and epizootics of winter, among horses.
have their foundation and source in neg
lect OF care at this season. Therefore all
who have to use or tend horses should see
them properly blanketed and stabbed that
they may 90 through the winter healthy
and we'll.

On Handling Horses.

Mr.. Oscar r. Gleason, a celebrated
.hOrse trainer and tanner" of New York,
has lately published book on the horse.
from which the following extract is made.
1t will be of interest to all who have much
to do in handling specially those
liable to be vicious -
Rearing is one of the most dangerous
vices a horse NAV have, either for rider
or driver. 1t is vice that is, in most
instances, caused by banging the horse
over the head with club or even a ham
mer, as is sometimes done by blacksmithS
when horse is nervous about the hand
ling of his feet in shoeing. If you are
about to mount horse given to rearing
tie strong rope about his body, just back
OF the saddle, so tightly that he cannot
expand his body. which he must do to
rear. Make the fastening knot so that
you can by pull loosen and take it off
when you are in the saddle and are salts
fed that he is well started 1t will be
well. however until the horse is thor
oughly broken of the habit, to keep Your
toes in the stirrups in such a way that you
can readily throw your feet out and spring
free from him if he goes up and threat
ems to go over.
Haller-puling in the stall may be effec-
tually and easily broken. Put Slip
noosed rope around the body. lead the
end of it between the animals fore legs up
through the halter and make it fast to the
manger. Never allow anybody TO put the
cruel 'twitcn" on your horses nose to
hold his head still. To cure horse of
stamping in the stall, hang bit of wood,
only a moderately heavy peg four
or five inches long by string
say seven inches long from strap above
his knee on each foreleg, so that it
will whack lightly against his shin and
call attention to it every stamp, and he
will soon stop stamping rather than be
annoyed by it. piece of stout elastic
fastened about the hind leg, midway be-
tween the hook and quarter, will stop him
kicking in the stall Tight check reins
should never be used where it is at all
possible to dispense with them.
To teach a horse certain tricks. When
you stand in front of him he will natural
ly put his ears forward as you move your
whip TO one side or the other he will nat
uraly put back the ear on that side, as if
in obedience to your word of command,
or, if you advance the whip straight tow
ard him, will lay both ears back, and in n
little time will learn what your command
means and move his ears at your order
without the signal of the whip. To make
him shake his head as if answering you
with negative, prick him sharply on the
top of reck, just above the shoulders, with
pin few times To make him nod an
affirmative, prick his breast. To make
him reach around to his side touch him
with the pin on the side you wish him TO
reach. In very little while the touch of
the butt OF the whip, very lightly applied
will be enough, and soon then even a
gesture with the whips and at length mere
" the command. will be enough"

LAND FOR THE PEOPLE,

The land question is a very large one. To the
people of this country 1t has peculiar ImpOr-
lance. 1t is not necessary to adopt the extrava-
gancies of demagOgues about the rapid ex-
haustiOn of land available for culture, nor the
theories of Mr.. George, who attributes all sorts
of ills that aillict the Republic to private mon
Opoly in land. The broad and solid fact is that
abundance of free land has been a great safe
guard in this country against serious danger.
1t has had powerful influence in sustaining
the rewards of labor in all parts of the country.
1t is doubtful whether many, even OF the best
informed, fully realize the influence which the
land policy of the Government has had upon
the rate of wages in this country. 1t has pre-
vented, to Il degree which it is difficult to
measure, an undue increase in the price of land
and in rents cAactcd in the older States. Hence
it is imperatively necessary to the well being of
the country that this influence, so helpful and
neediul, should be conserved and kept in full
force as long as possible.
1t is also an undcniable fact that a large area
of land has been seized by individual specu-
lators and by corporations, within the past few
years, not. for occupation or productive use, but
for the sake of the profit expected from its rise
IN value as available land becomes scarce i'm
some quarter. But the holding of land for that
purpose is contrary to the best interests of So
ciety. 1t not only rctards the development of
new regions, aud therefore il naturally con-
dcmned by the settlers in those regions, to
whom 1t Is matter of great moment that thriv-
ing towns and well-ordercd communities should
be established about them az soon as possible,
but 1t lessons the power of the Nations heritage
OF free land to sustain the rate 81 wages tor
labor, or to guard against Overcrowding of
population in the older States and in the cities.
Indeed, every step which renders the acquire
ment of land more difficult or more costly to the
poor is directly antagonistc to tho policy of
free land for all, which was adopted by the Re-
publican party when it first came into power
and which has contributed so greatly to the de-
veopment of the country since that day
1T is sound policy to prohibit, as far as posi-.
BILE, the seizure and holding Of land for any
