The Horse That Sells Best.

RuuBSts
The horse that sells for the best average
figure is now the heavy draft horse. The
fast horse may sell for more money II he is
fast enough, but taken altogether, the aver
age price of the heavy draft horse is above
that Of the trotter. There is constant de-
man1 for such animals, a demand that Is
Increasing faster than the supply. TIE de-
mand is not only from this country, bat
from all Europe, excepting only Russia.
There is NO longer a ready sale for the
Light horses that were used not many years

prices that hardly pay for raising them.
All farmers who raise horses at all know
this to be true, as they are often brought

taking horses to the buyers they are met

An Underground M clubhouse

H. Stewart, in the Country Gentleman,
describes a convenient milkhouse: An
underground milkhouse should be made
twelve feet deep in dry, well-drained
ground, or on hillside OF suitable charac-
Ter. The lower part should be nine feet
deep and walled with brick or stone. One
twelve feet square will be ample Tor dairy
of twenty COWS or less. Beams are laid in
the walls for the floor of the upper cellar.
a trap door and an open stairway is made
in this floor at one side, and square open
ing in the center, covered with glass, to
admit some light. This opening is pro-
tected with safe railing. The shelves are
ranged around three sides, the other side
being occupied by the stairway and table
or bench. The wall is kept white by an
occasional white washing or kalsomin1ng,
and this keeps the cellar sweet. If the air
becomes damp at any time, peck OF
fresh lime may be placed in II, and as
1t will absorb seven pounds OF water and
still be dry, it will be found very useful
in maintaining the requisite moderate
moisture of the air. The churning may
be done in the upper cellar, which is three
feet below the ground level and has
board roof to protect it from the sua. The
window should be on the north side, and
q ventilRtiDg door should be made in the
ceiling OF this room. IL the cellar should
become too warm at any time the air may
be cooled by carrying into it block OF
ice; any moisture in the air which may be
condensed by this decrease OF temperature
viii be quickly taken up by the lime. Elk
perience will saggest any desirable i'm.
provement upon tnis plan, which has been
found to work excellently and to keep q
very regular temperature during the hot
test weather. It is necessary to be cautious
in ventilating such q cellar. In the day
time, when it should be kept closed, and if
left open at any time it should be on q
clear, breezy night.

Losing a Hundred Hens.

have several times been told by people
keeping poultry that they have lost many
fowls; sometimes 100 out of 200, and
The appearance of those that were left
would testify for the truthfulRess of the
statements. After inquiries have gener-
ally discovered that the loss of so many
has been more from q want of knowledge
of how to check and keep diseases under
control than from any other cause. ALI
poultry are liable TO take cold, no matter
how much they are fed and cared for. II
they are not then treated in the right way,
AID II the colds are not taken
in time the birds get out of
condition, and weakness and
then cholera or roup will follow. When a
florist walks through any greenhouse he
can tell at glance just the condition of
the plants; and so can an experienced
poultry man see the state OF health of any
yards of poultry by Ii tie careful exami-
nation. A mild application of tonics,
disiDfectanIs, etc, generally brings up the
fowls to their normal condition. Should
the trouble prove little more stubborn,
take more decided means at once. Gull
out the ailiDg ones, work at the rest with
mild treatment, and give the quarantined
birds stronger remedies. This will general
ly suffice. but should the sick birds not
quickly recover, kill them, unless they are
valuable blrds.

Get Ready for Matching Tim q

If you intend Matching your chicks in
the spring with a view TO getting than
early to market when pric ss are high, it is
time now to make preparations. In the
South, by using a little care, Matching may
commence ia February, and as we get
further North in March. In the North
chicks may be hatched most successfully
in March by means of 81 incubator and
hToOder. But a warm, equable place must
be provided for the chicks. A little fire
neat in the apartment where the chicks
are raised will assist materially. But to
be successful in raising chicks for market,
the eggs of thrifty, fast growing early
featheTing fowls must be selected. and the
eggs thretrom must be kept separate from
those intended for eating, if, as is gen.
orally the case, the fowls are OF mixed
blood, generally found in barn yards. If
you have not el improved breed, ii will
pay at least to secure improved males tor
mating with the hers. While 1t is CON-
paratively easy to hatch chickens In March,
even in the North, by providing a warm
brooding place tor the hen, the labor is lost
If the young chicks are not provided with
warm quarters for at least the first month
of their lives. If intended for broilers, it
is essential that they be fed with a variety
of food rich in matter that will rourish
growth in flesh and bone as we'll as in fat.
The framework must be laid before fatten-
ing process begins. IL this 10 secured q
very short time will then fit them for the
market.

The Koseiusko Democracy Jubilant.

WARSAW, January Is. = Especial -
The Democracy OF this county
are iubilant over the results OF
the meeting at indianapolis on the 18th.
The great speeches made by ex-senator Nc
Donald and Governor Gray. have the right
ring to them, to suit Democrats up here.
They indicate that the coming campaign is
to be one of hard blows and square fighting
on the part of the Democracy, and that no
quarter is to be asked OF or given to the
foes of the people, styled the Republican
party. With Gray on the ticket for Vice
President, and Captain Myers for Governor,
we will be invincible, but, although they
are the choice OF the Demo.
Gratis Of Kosciusko County, we
will fight for whoever may be nominated
until the close of the polls on election day,
and watch the ballot boxes until the votes
are counted out, little precautiou that it
is as we'll not to neglect when they are in
Republican hands.

ably Bred Colts than Ever Before.
The Sportsman.
This has been a most prosperous year
among Kentucky trotting horsemen. The
price received for stock has averaged much
higher the past year tran was ever before
known, this especially being the case with
young, fasbionably bred colts and hlliss,
which at all times have brought lucrative
prices, and in some instances have sold for
exceedingly fancy figures. During the
year /, 245 head of trottlng horses were sold
at public auction in Kentucky for $395.07S,
while the private sales will foot up at least
that much more, one breeding establish
ment alone having realized over $50, 900 On
the srles of trotting colts and FLIES in 1857.
Those sold range in age from the produce
not yet foaled to the old stations or brood
mares which have almost served out their
days. The price received for these horses
varies from $40 up to a sum in the thou
sands which the non-credulous refuse 10
believe any sane man would pay tor piece
of horsehesh. In this connection 1t is we'll
enough 10 add that no standard. bred
pnimal sold for anything like the first
mentioned price, the sum received for stock
of that class always amounting to good
healthy figures.

much cornmeal and milk as they would
consume without waste for two weeks.
0nelotweighed forty -one pounds aud were
fed all the skim milk they would drink
which was five pounds per day. They
made no gain. The other lot were fed all
the cornmeal and skim milk they cared for.
They consumed forty-two pounds of skim
milk three pounds per day. and thirty
seven pounds OF cornmeal. gaining thir-
teen and a half pounds. They were again
placed together and fed the same food for
eight weeks. During this period they alto
gether consumed 344 pounds of cornmeal
and 1856 pounds of skim milk, the milk
