The Breeding Mare.

To raise good colt every year is
making good investment. Like
every other kind of stock rearing it
must be done well. The mare can
work just as well as not if good sense
is the driver She must not be hur-
ried, or put to straining work. She
should not be made to pillow where
there are fast stones and alongside of
fast-walking and go-ahead mate. Two
mares in foal work the best together.
The breeding mare should have time
ut noon to lie down half hour and
rest. She should have oats and bran
for her food. and never be heated be-
fore or after the foal comes. 1t does
her good to stop few minutes while
the driver is taking care of a stone or
repairing the fence. We have known
farmer to do all of his springs
work with pair of breeding mares,
and raise two fine colts. He was
never in a hurry but his work was al
ways well up. When colts get to be
three years old they may DC put in q
half day and ''spelr' the mare. Put
the breeding mare in box stall where
she will be comfortable and the colt
will be safe if she chance to drop it in
the night. If the hired man kicks the
mare. kick him off the place. Such
outrages have been practiccd on the
mares. and the result was the loss
of the foal. Under all circum-
stances there should be gentleness.-

Billings Held for Killing Kingsley.

At Waverley, Iowa, M. Z. Billings Was
held for the murder OF w. S. Kingsley.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury was as
follows: Thes jurors upon their oaths do
say that on Dec. 81. 1887, w. S. Kingsley
came to his death by means OF a wound in
ficted by pistol ball shot and discharged
from. q pistol in the hands of NJ. E. Bill
lings, which instantly killed Kingsley, and
that such killing was deliberately premedi-
tated and feloniously and OF his malice
aforethought done by said Billings. From
the testimony it developed that Billings
had forged his own wife's name to notes
directed to the lawyer, the contents OF the
note being full OF loving terms, and asking
Kingsley to meet her at her own house
while Billings was away. Kingsley replied
in good faith, declining to make the assigna-
ton and warning the supposed female
writer to desist from her course. OF course
the reply fell into the hands OF Billings.
The latter even went so far as to prepare
notes Of hand filed out. conveying all
Kingsley's property to himself. 1t is be.
lieved that on the day OF the shooting Bill
lings went to Kingsley's Office to try by
blackmail to get him to put his signature
to the notes. The evidence as to the black
mail and forgeries was direct, but there
was no witness to the shooting. and that
part will have to be proven by circum.
stantial evidence.

Upper Berths of Sleepers.

The Minnesota railroad commissioners
have issued an order relative to the closing
OF the upper berths in sleeping cars, con-
corning which notice was sent out to
railroad companies some time ago. The
order is as follows:
Whereas, the custom prevails upon GER
tain railroads upon which sleeping cars are
run and operated within the State Of Min
nesota, of lowering the upper berths OF
such sleeping cars and fastening them
down, to the discomfort and inconvenience
of the occupants of the lower berths, not
withstanding the fact that the upper berths
are not required for use; now, therefore, it is
ordered and determined that, on and after
the first day OF January next, each upper
berth in any sleeping car, run or opera ted
upon any railroad within this state, shall
be and remain closed whenever the berth
beneath the same shall be occupied by a
passenger until such upper berth shall be
needed for actual occupancy by some 9TH
er passenger present and requiring the
same; provided that the bed in the upper
berth shall be made ready for occupancy.
and such berth then elevated and closed
until needed for actual occupancy, or it
shall be lowered and fastened down at tho
option OF the taker OF the lower berth.
And provided also, that a copy OF this or.
der, plainly printed in the English Ian.
guage, shall be kept posted in each end Of
each and every such car, and in place
convenient to be read by persons entering
or leaving the same.

The Chicago Railway Ago says: The
year 1887 has surpassed all other
years in the extent Of railway mileage
construction in the United States.
Our returns show that during 1887 no
less than 12.724 miles of new main line
track wero added to the railway system OF
the United States, no account being taken
OF the odd hundreds of miles OF side tracks
built, nor of the thousands OF miles OF
main line tracks relaid.
When in 1882, during period OF ext ra
ordinary activity, II, 56S miles OF new
road were built, it was generally believed
that these figures would not again be
equaled.
A recapitulation OF the construction in
the different sections OF the country shows
that the greater part Of .ais prodigious in
crease &. .aiiways has taken place in
FEW WESTERN STATES.
New England and New York contribute
scarcely anything to the grand total, the
great Middle states very little and the ad-
ditions in the Southern states not as large
az many anticipa ted. although Alabama
presents fine record with over 500 miles;
Georgia adds $50 miles, Florida nearly
200, and Kentucky and North Carolina each
little less than that. The Northwestern
states, including Michigan, Illinois, Iowa
aud Minnesota, have shown very consid-
cradle activity. but the great rush OF rail
way building has been in the central belt
west of the Missouri river. Kansas leads
with the total OF 2.07O miles; Nebraska
comes next with 1,101 miles, al
most equaled by Texas with 1.O55
miles. Then in order come the fol-
lowing: Colorado, S1S; Dakota, 760;
Michigan. 700; Montana, GIG; Missouri.
$50; Indian Territory, 400, and so on.
Four states and two territories. namely,
Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Colorado, Da-
kota and Montana, together show an adj
half Of the entire years mileage OF
the country. Many OF the lines
have been built through compare
lively level country, requiring but
little grading and bridge building; but on
the other hand many lines have been very
costly for example those over the Rocky
mountains in Colorado, the Southern Pa
ciic extention in Northern California.
the Atchison's Kansas City and
Pacific work on the Cascade mount
aims and others. Moreover several OF
the companies have purchased costly ter
minal facilities in large cities, while nearly
all have made extensive purchases OF iup-
ment. 1t is probably fair to assume that
the total cost OF roadway, bridges, sta
ton buildings, terminal facilities and equip
ment of these new lines averaged $25, 900
per mile. at which rate it ap-
pears that not far from 1926, 00O..
900 have been expended on the
lines completed during the year. The mon
ey which has thus been expended has tenn.
porarily employed large army OF work
men and has also furnished permanent
employment to another great army, prob
ably aggregating 65,O persons. The
railway mileage OF the United States at
the commencement of 1887 was stated to
be 1877, 9SG miles. The extension for the
year here recorded increase it to $50, 10
miles.

This is an application to present to the

A possible obstacle to n successful prose-

The Great Southern Boom.

The Manufacturers Record OF Baltimore
publishes its annual review of the indus
trial growth OF the South for 1887 which
it says was in many respects the most re-
markable year in the history OF that Sec
ton, as more was accomplished for the
progress and prosperity OF the whole South
than ever before in the same length Of
time. There is scarcely a single line OF
manufacturing or mining business in
which the number OF new enterprises re-
ported during 1887 is not more than twice
as large as in 1886. OF the fourteen South
ern states there are only four in which the
capital invested in new enterprises is not
double the amount invested last year. In
cotton manufacturing there has been great
activity, and seventy-seven new mills have
been projected, which is the largest num-
Der OF new mills ever reported in one year.
The industries OF the South are being
greatly diversified, as we'll as increased.
This year the amount OF capital employed
is $256, 29S, 600, against $129, 226, 900 in
1886.
