headwaters of the Father of Waters re-
turned after a two months trip in that
region. He concludes after a most care
full survey of all the waters leading into
Lake Itasca, that the genuine sources OF
the great body of waters is neither in
Elk Lake, where Willard Glazier desired
to put it, nor in lakes Nicollet or Whip
pie. Following the principal stream
and tracing il through all the small lakes
it leads directly to the two lakes at the
end of the basin. These lakes, one con-
sideIably larger than the other and dot
ted with numerous islets, are 100 feet
above the elevation of Itasca lake; back
of them is the rim of the basin, compos-
ed of hills ranging from 60 to 80 feet in
height above the surfoce of these lakes.
These twin lakes crown the supreme
height of the whole basin, and are the
undoubted sources of the great river.

not possible under our different land
system. A jog at the rate of ten or
twelve miles an hour on an excellent
country road is Il pleasure Tat is un.
surpassed by any other of the many
rural delights that are to be enjoyed
in the "cauntry.' and it is 4 good
thing that the popular good sense has
turned in this direction.
The wealthy residents Of cities
are not the only persons to whom
horse breeders may look for custom.
ers as soon as they have the animals
ready for sale Thousands ofbusincss
men in moderately comfort bic cir
cumstances, and oven employees who
are better paid than the average run
of them, can easily afford TO keep a
horse, and the pleasure will be found
actually less costly than that Of haunt
ing the theatcrs, saloons and billiard
rooms of the cities, and infinitely more
conducive to health, moral and phys
icaL Thus the market for horses of
the kind referred to will undoubtedly
be far wider and more profitable than
that for the faster trotting roadstcrs,
although there will beno grand przcs
to be picked up. A wholesome. steady
and sufficiently profitable business
will grow up, in which any farmer
who has the opportunities and the
skill to rear the right horses and train
them in the way they should go will
make u satisfactory Investment OF
money and labor.
Another profitable industry is the
breeding and rearing of mules. These
hardy animals will come into more cx-
tended use in the North as the breed
ing of road and park horses increases.
Mules for work and horses for profit
and pleasure will be the outgrowth of
the destined increase in the rearing OF
pleasure horses. The pow and the
wagon are not conducive to the figure
or spirit OF pleasure horse, but the
mule is essentially made for labor.
Probably there is no more favorable
opportunity for young farmers with
small capital to engage in pleasing
and profitable business than the breed
ing and rearing of mules in Southern
