Breed Large Draft Horses.

An Ohio correspondent of the
American Stockman, writing ofsmall
horses fer farmers says. Small horses
have served their day and generation
so far as the farmer is concerned.
The country is overrun with them,
especially the farmers small trotter
which is usually sired by some
stallion of local celebrity and out of
the farmers old mare which is or
has been "peeler." The country is
full of small stations whose owners
are continually crying down large
horses. AS one Of them recently
said to the writer, of Il little horse
which he had that will hardly weigh
nine hundred, "He can kill any
Clydesdale or Percheron horse at
work." They tell the farmers that
their mares are too small to breed to
a large horse that they will not be
able to foal the colt on account of its
large size, and all the other bugbears
they can think of. AS an extra in
ducement they will insure a better
colt for less money than Mr.. So-and
so, who has taken the risk of putting
from fifteen hundred to three thous-
and dollars in agOod, well bred coach
or draft horse. The remedy for this
is for farmers to keep away entirely
from these so-called trotters, and be-
gin with such mares as they have,
for the writer is farmer and has no
personal AK to grind.
To improve the size and breeding
of our farm horses, and the improve
ment will be at no time so evident as
in the very first colt. No, fellow
farmers, let us begin to weed out
these inferior horses and breed
good sized, noble animal. Then,
when he is old enough for market,
he will bring good round price any
time you wish to sell, and that,
without hiring jockey to drive him
at a big price, besides paying out a
large amount of money for fancy
shoeing and toggery to put on his
feet and legs, usually amounting to
more than the horse will bring In the
end. Lei us breed the horse that we
can be proud of, and that brings no
sorrow on account of the mortgage on
the farm.
The race horse is the product of an
establishment far beyond the COM
mon farmers purse, and it is a rather
doubtful question if the speed there
acquired is Of any practical value
further than IL show what the horse
is capable of doing and for sporting
purposes.

Not Bad Advice.
The Iron Industry Gazette.

The Iron Industry Gazette.
Mr.. Mechanic, if your mind runs
to the invention of "small things" as
they are often called in unwise con-
tempt, you may hit upon "big
bonanza" Westinghouse has made
$20,000,0OO out of the air brake. 1t
was called at first a "small thing"
using air in that way, but it has
PANIED out well. Other "small
things" have rewarded mechanics
well. The lead PENCIL rubber tip
cleared its inventor 100000; the
metal rivet or eyelet for miners coat
and trousers pockets brought its in
ventor fortune; boot and shoe heel
and sole plates of metal cleared
81, 100000; the glass bell inverted
over lamps and gas jets cleared a
fortune; the simple plan of fastening
powdered emery on cloth made II
fortune; the roller skate cleared
81, 100000 before the craze died out ;
the gimlet screw realized millions I;
copper tips for shoes netted millions ;
the simple needle threader melted
$4,000 year toys and playthingS
have cleared thousands; the ball
with the rubber string brought an
income of $4,000 a year; the "Danc-
ing Jim Grow" netted $4,000 year ;
Pharaoh's serpents cleared $4,000 ;
the "wheel of life' cleared $4,000;
the chameleon top cleared a fortune ;
the "Pigs in Glover" puzzle has
within one year made its inventor a
fortune; the pencil sharpener cleared
a fortune. Hundreds OF "Small
things" have turned out well. If
you have an idea, bring it out and
let the busy and inquisitive world
see it. The mechanics who have
been enriched by little inventions far
exceed in number those who have
reaped fame and fortune by great in
ventions. Put on your thinking
cap, Mr.. Mechanic, and dive into the
world of possibilities, The fortune
is there if you only know how to
find it.

The History of a Rural Well.
New York Bonrd of Health.

New York Board of Health.
Let us examine one (or a thousand)
of our grand old farm establishments
of a hundred years standing. Clus-
tered on few square rods Of land
are the farm buildings, the dwelling,
woodshed, wash-house, horse-stable,
cow-barn, sheppard, swine-house,
hen-house, courthouse, compost heap,
cesspool and privy. All these are
arranged in a hollow square, and in
their midst is the farmers we'll with
its curb, sweep and bucket, or its
cover, pipe and pump. Around this
centre are concentrated all the
activities of life upon a New England
farm. Birth, life and death bloom,
fruit and decay ; of men and animals,
of shrubs and trees, have TRANSFERRED
here for century. All the waste
has been dropped upon the surface,
there to accumulate, decay, putrefy.
Then, again, the bottom of the
well, the very centre OF all these
activities, must be at or below the
level of the natural water basin of the
immediate vicinity, and must rest
upon or in clay, mari or rock imper-
vious to water. The well is eXcavated
through sand, gravel, drift or other
earth pervious to water. All these
conditions must exist or there can be
no will.
Now let US picture the life upon
these few square rods for one hundred
years. In and about these buildings
live three hundred creatures-men,
beasts and birds. They are stabbed
here during winter and yarded here
during summer; here they take their
daily food and drink, and discharge
their daily waste. During one
hundred years there have been nearly
eleven million days Of animal eX-
istence, all, within draining and
teaching distance of the source Of the
water supply of the whole establish
ment. The amount of waste that can
not be removed by evaporation,
drainage or absorption is enormous.
The fact must be apparent to the
most skeptcal that the earth beneath
farm buildings, stables, cesspools and
privy vaults, and about wells near
the same, is surcharged with animal
and vegetable waste. This point
must be conceded by all. 1t needs
but a moments attention to convince
the dullest mind that every establish
ment with only the usual sanitary
precautions is resting upon and above
pile of most dangerous filth, and
that this filth is being constantly
leached into the bottom of the well.

Charges in a Morning Paper.
Tax Collector George W. Mckee made
the following statement this morning
in regard to the charges in a morning
paper that he refused tax receipts to two
colored men of the Second ward-Alfred
Harmon, Jr, aud Philip Lee, by name.
Harmon came into the office and
asked for tax receipt, saying that he
lived in the Second ward looked on
my book and not finding his name said,
mo you are not assessed He said, 81
know / am, l saw my name on the list y
| replied Il can't help it; it is
not ON my duplicate" Harmon
came in again and told him as before
that his name was not on my book, and
that if it were on the original list he
must get certificate from the clerk of
the peace to that effect, and would give
him the receipt
He came in the third time with Lee,
and wheu / saw him tt Id him not TO
come back again, that if his name was on
the list he would get a receipt, but it
was not, and he would not get one Lee
did not ask for any. Then they went to
the Court House and got the certificate
from AL Osborne, and I gave Harmon
his receipt, Then / turned to Lee aud
asked him what he wanted and finding
his name on my book, gave him his receipt
also
Mr. Mckee exhibited the duplicate tax
receipt list for the Second ward. The
name of Alfred Harmon, Jr, was missing
from the names of colored men under II.
The certificate from the clerk Of the
peace stated that the names of both men
SHOULD be on the duplicate
assessment list for the Sec
ond ward. The mistake was the
error of the copyist and both Mr.. Mckee
and Mr. Dougherty stated that in suct
cases they do not hesitate TO give &
receipt on the certificate of the clerk Of
the peace.
