PERSIAN EQUESTRiAni5 5M.
Inyeterate Horsemen Who Dent Know
How to Ride.

Inyeterate HOrsemen Who Don't Know
How to Ride.
1t is strange that, although the Per-
slams are all horsemen, they do not
know how to ride, using the term in
our sense. They will canter or gallop
all day long without visible dlscom
fort, but they will sit on their animals
like monkeys. with their knees drawn
up and with their reins clutched tight,
and will fall off on the slightest provo
cation. When babies of three. they
are already in the saddle, and they are
in it all their lives; but they never re-
ceive any instruction, never know
what good, steady trot is. and never
learn =, keep firm ON their horses
back. And, like them, the Persian
horses never receive any training.
For all that they have a good deal OF
native intelligence and they are kind
and affectionate Kickers and biters
are rare among them. While III Ara
bia and Turkey mares are universally
ridden, inPersia it is the stations alone
that serve this purpose. Ceilings are
unknown.
In the matter Of dealers tricks the
Persians, with all their craftiness and
cunning. are not up to the Western
standard. Still they understand pretty
well how to conceal the ravages time
has made, or the imperfectiors OF con-
stitution or disposition in their .'crlt-
ters.'' Some of their tricks are identi-
cal with those obtaining here. There
is one great obstacle in tie way OF
success for them. though. Custom
makes it incumbent on a dealer 10
leave a horse he has sold at least
twenty-four hours in the purchaser
stable. If, at the expiration OF that
time, the animal has not found favor
in the eyes of the buyer. the latter can
return it; if it has. the money IS then
and there paid. not before.-Cosn'opo'-

BARBEO WIRE

Another Blow at the Washburn- Moen
~ - Monopoly.
III ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 3.--The sale Of the Yrrly
Nm Wire Company to the st. Louis Wire
ceapany, Isterdausypas virtual confes-
sio4of the waalEess Of the Washburn,
Moeh q Co,sSss9ent case, which has been
foue6 feswo Eany years by the Freeman
Wire Compzy, OF this city. The latter
company alfays held that the Glidden pat
ent, on WHICH the Southern Company paid
royalty 81 fifteen cents per 100 pounds
to Washburn, was invalid and won the
point in a long series of cases. The sale Of
the Southern Company means nothing more
nor less than their intention to manu- ufacture
barbed wire under the so-called patent Of
Glidden and avoid the necessity OF paying
the ifteen-cent royalty to Washburn. The
Freeman Company's victory thus brings
another unlicensed maker into the field,
and does away with the working Of the
barbed-wire monopoly, which was. fought
sipgle-handed by the Freeman Company.
The latter proved conclusively in the courts
that the very same wire protected by the
patent had been manufactured publicly
years ago in Iowa and the courts decided
| the invalidity of the patent on this basis.

FARM NOTES.

Spinach is one OF the early green's An
application Of very fine manure will
hasten it and give larger crop.
There will probably be larger acreage
OF crops sown here this spring than in
any other county of the same age in the
State.-Ivaashoe (Kan.) Times.
The ground for spring wheat can not be
prepared too early, and 1t should be not
only deeply ploughed but narrowed until
the seed-bed shall be as fine as the soil can
be made.
Fowls can not possibly thrive and do well
if they be compelled to stand around in the
mud and filth all day long. They must
have q place to scratch and exercise. The
horse stable is most excellent place for
them to range in il allowable.
Now is the time to spread the fine poultry
manure on the strawberry plants By the
time the plants shall begin to shoot out the
new growth the manure will have been
mashed into the soil by the rains. Poultry
manure has been tried on strawberries with
success.
The proposition to secure q car load OF
early seed corn from Iowa to plant in this
county this spring is move in the right
direction. We would have had splendid
crop in this county last season il the seed
planted had been of an early variety
Laraed (Kdn.) Optic.
AS winter is fast slipping by, every good
farmer will study out his campaign" for
the coming season In accordance with his
soil and his supply OF manure Having
adopted o plan, matters should be shaped
at once, so as to carry it out to the very let
ter with vim that is sure to bring sue
cess.
Rye will begin to grow on the frsH ap-
proach of spring. It provides the drst
early pasturage. II kept moderately
grazed, provided the land has been well
manured at time of seeding, the crop will
continue to afford green material as long
as desired No crop can compare with it
for early pasturage.
Somebody advises that in saving seed
corn the selected ear be neither husked nor
separated from the stalk on which it grew,
but the stalk and unhusked ear be hung up
in dry place until the planting season
shall have come round. The claim has been
advanced that seed so kept has greater vi
tality, and produces more vigorous plants
than even that which is husked and after
ward dried by fire heat
There is cooperative store at Stanton,
Iowa. run by a branch Of the Farmers Al
lance. The business has manager, q
bookkeeper and five clerks, and is playing
havoc with the trade Of the old merchants
of the village. The store was started last
May. A report was made at the annual
meeting OF the association, which showed
that the sales Of the store have been large
and mainly for cash. BY frequent turning
of the capital invested, a profit OF fifty
uer cent on the capital stock is reported
for the eight months the store has been
running. Elated with their success, the
association will add agricultural imple
ments to the business and are talking also
of starting bank.
