How rapidly we are being educated u1
tothe larger horses. That we must hav,
increased size to reach the best markets is
now universally admitted. Only a few
years ago 1900 to 400 pounds was
thought to be a big horse; now our grade
draft horses, 1400 to 1900 pounds, are de.
handed by the city markets, and ever
heavier horses sell ali the better if they
can be found Many of our best farmers
have grand teams Of grade draft mares
that money cannot buy. Every one il
worth a fortune for breeding, while tho
amount OF work they can perform is as
tonishing. Even the th~oroughbreds anC
t%rotters have %caughtthe spirit Of progress
and the largest Of these horses are in pop
ular demand, all clamoring for increased
size.
The farmers all want larger horses anc
are eagerly breeding to increase the size.
Dealers everywhere are actively looking
for grade draft horses all over the west,
and fortunate are the farmers and com
munities where this popular horse is
found. His popularity is increasing
faster than the supply, and prices arc
better than for any other stock. He ma.
lures early and sells for more money pei
pound than any other farm stock.
When the importations of these heavy
draft horses first began, they encountered
strong prejudice, and it was quite gen.
orally predicted that they would prove &c
be a failure in America: that they could
not stand the street pavemcnts; they
were too clumsy, and that the draft horse
business would soon be overdone. Blu
facts are stubborn things. The draft
horse has proved a grand success
in America, as il is a necessity TO The
worlds progress.
Each succeeding year the fast horse
men have predicted that the draft hors,
business would be a failure, while tn
importations have constantly increased
and now include every recognized bree(
Of draft horses in all Europe, and eacl
breed has its. admirers. Every farmin!
community wants one or more imported
draft horses, and the draft horse is tn,
most universally popular farm stock il
America.
While the market has for years beer
sverstocked with small horses, all Europ,
stands ready to take all our surplus o
high grade draft horses, of good size ant
style, at high prices. Then with tn
whole world for our market, our farmer
should lose no time to prepare to suppl,
the increasing demand. Grade up 10 tn,
best imported stations, keeping the grade
draft mares, however tempting the offers
for them. Study well the subject o.
assured. -West Agriculturist.

TAKING A REST.
The Views of the Texas Siftings'
Funny Man, BROUGHTON, and
others.

"There are good many things that take
rest now that election is over. First and foremost
are the candidates; then the campaign orator, who
has been shouting and gesticulating from platform,
stump and barrel heads for To- these many weeks.
His throat is raw and inhamed, his eyes weak and
watery from the smoke of campaign torches, and he
is carrying his voice in sling.
The campaign song singer is simply worn out and
needs a long rest He has sung in every kind of
KEY not excepting whs-key, and soured all the notes
of musical eectioneerng. He and the campaign
song writer can GO off and recuperate together.
The campaign editor can rest, too, from the ex-
haustive task Of exposing and hwartng the tricks of
the enemy and inventing and flooding the market
with roorbacks of his own. If it be his candidate
that is defeated he will write editorial showing
how it was done, and then throw down his pen in dis
gust and 90 off and soak his head.
The man who plays in the band is resting, too; and
the torch bearer of the procession, and the fellow
who hurrahs and the army with banners, and the
horses of the parade and the boys who follow process
sions and veil for all candidates with cheerful impair
TALLY
Then the people who do not march in professions,
who do attend political gatherings and who take
no special part in campaign, glad of rest, too
They tired of the whole thing long ago. They could
find nothing in the papers but politics, politics, and
their ears stunned by the clash of music in the
Streets the crash of professions and the general wild
hullabaloo."
This era of rest will be especially grateful to the
heads of families it gives time to look the

ages in bedding hannes, underwear, hosiery, shoes
