Good Horses for Farmers.

If more of the farmers and business
men throughout the country knew the
value of and the advantages of having
first-class driving horses there would
be more of this kind found in the
hands of those who till the soil for a
living. The unalloyed pleasure Of be-
ing able to pull the reins over a horse
that is we'll trained and well adapted
to road purposes ought to be incentive
enough to make farmers want to pos.
sess something fine in this line, but the
pleasure afforded in this connection Is
but small part of the consideration.
In cities and business centers the dis
lance from one point to another is Of
ten designated by the number of min
utes it takes to travel it. Thus resi-.
dence is from three to five min
utes' from "a railroad station or a
street car line, meaning that it takes
SO many minutes to walk to the sta
ton or street-cars. If farmers reck-
oued the distance they live from their
markets, post-ofiices, churches, etc.
they then might appreciate more near
ly the value Of horses that travel we'll.
A horse that will travel ten miles
while another travels but six will

there may be difference of four miles

TOMATOES AS FOOD.
Something About the Ridiculous Charge

something ABOUT the Ridiculous Charge
That the Fruit Causes Cancer.
wonder how many people in this
broad country have been scared out of
eating tomatoes by the circulation of
the ridiculous charge that they cause
cancers! But ever since they became
a common article of diet there has
prevailed an idea that they have some
sort OF medicinal action. AS a fact
they are in no sense medicinal. If
they were they never should be used
as an article of common diet. So far
as affecting the human organism is
concerned they a.t precisely like any
other commonly used fruit, that is,
merely as agreeable nutrients. Their
nutritive power, compared with meats
and seeds, is very slight; but it is well
adapted to the warm season of the
year, when light diet is best for all,
except for those engaged in arduous
manual tasks.
The notion that tomatoes are medi-
cinal arises from the fact that they be-
long to an extensive family of plants
in the foliage. seeds or roots of some
of which medicinal principles are
found. But the potato. the egg plant,
and few others. more or less used
for food, belong to the same large
family There is poisonous prin-
ciple on the leaf of the peach tree, but
it is not found in the fruit. So with
the tomato; and it is a great pity that
this notion should have got abroad.
That tomatoes disagree with some
people is no evidence of medicinal
action. Strawberries do the same. -
