IMPORTED HORSES,
A Wrong system. When They
Should Be Developed in This
Country.

"A WTOU& SySl0Ms W uou 4uOy
Should Be Developed in This
Country.
There is evidently something wrong
in our system of importing horses from
Europe, says the agricultural editor Of
the Des MOines Register. 1t has been
carried on pretty extensively for a hum
dred years. And yet we have virtually
no breed of American horses. We have
principally imported stations, and bred
them on our scrub mares. In this way
we have improved the size and useful
ness of our horses, but it has prevented
the United States from having any large
number of purely bred horses. A late
English writer in the Country Gentle
man sees and comments on this def
cheney, as follows:
''The attention of intelligent breeders
and lovers of the equine race has re-
Gently been attracted to a statement
made and frequently repeated by vari-
Gus writer's of experience, viz, that the
people of the United States of America
have not succeeded in establishing a
national breed of horses. This is the
more extraordinary as in all else that
they have set themselves to achieve
they have in the end succeeded better
=
a true one? Candor Obliges me to say
reluctantly believe it is"
If an equal number of purely bred
mares as stations had been imported,
before this time we would have had a
large number of American-bred horses,
as pure in blood and equal in every
quality to the best French NOrmanS, or
English Shire horses. But so long as
our importers are content with the i'm
porting of one sex we will be subject to
the charge made by the English writer
above quoted. And the way we are
proceeding no country will ever come
to America for first-class horses. And
yet we are now the leading nation of
the world in agricultural products of all
classes except it be in horses, and we
raise more of them, but they are
of an inferior quality. Ours is
the best country in the world
for horse raising. Some peculiar
localities are more favorable than others
for the full development of the muscles
and In giving endurance to this animal.
The Berkshire mountains in New Eng
land, in the days when the West mad
not been explored, was considered the
which required great activity and en-
uuLduCCs Ouu AotCOLly ~ oOOuAS " W
conceded that some of the mountains
and valleys in Montana, Idaho, and
probably Wyoming, are the best regions
in the world for the full development of
the horse. And some portions of Cali
fornia are developing greater speed
than in any of the older portions of the
United States, not even excepting the
famous Blue Glass region in Kentucky.
But let us lay foundation at home
for producing pure-bred horses, of all of
the best European types, and not rely
on the mOngrels, by crossing with pure
males on our American scrubs. The
course heretofore followed will never
give us the credit which we ought and
must have when our capacity for horse
raising is fully developed. Ii other ma
tons will not buy our hogs, our corn
and our potatoes, they will have to buy
our horses when we raise the kind they
want,

REFORM IN DAKOTA.
The Civil Service Feature as Dis.

The Civil Service Feature as Dis.
cerned in the Coming State.
Special to the Globe.
LA INQUIRE, N. D., May 29.-Civil
service reform in Dakota works magDif-
,icently in getting good officials out of
office, and running the risk of getting
poor ones in. Railway postal clerks
were placed under the civil service
rules by Cleveland, this being a pc
culiar clerical work that required men
of experience. One of the first official
acts of the great civil service reformer.
Harrison. after coming into Office on
the strength of his protestation
of clean politics as his guiding star,
was to suspend this order made by
Cleveland, the suspension to last until
May 1. This limitation was far too
brief for the dirty party work that it
contemplated, and to obviate this de-
feet it seems another secret order was
made by the proper authority, removing
every postal clerk of the West, the
order to take effect April %.
1t has not been possible to fill
all the vacancies thus occasioned,
and large part Of the old men are
still on their runs, although aware that
the AK of decapitation has already fallen,
and that they are numbered among the
slain. The major part of . the repub-
lican party of Dakota is composed of
young men who love fair play, and de-
sire to see good mail service more
than the personal elevation of few
disgruntled place hunters. These men
heartily condemn this wholesale policy
of changing our postal clerks. Another
feature of the policy of making changes
in the postal service is seen in the fact
that every republican who was not dis
missed from the service by Cleveland is
now dismissed by Harrison, under his
Interpretation of the civil service rules.
The trite assertion of Cleveland, that
''Public office is public trust" is over
Swallowed by Harrison's business-like
Efforts to prove that ''public Office is a
private snap"

SELLING EGGS BY WEIGHT.

There has, from time to time for years,
been attempts made to induce grocery
men and dealers generally, to sell eggs
by weight, but while some have attempted
it, they have gradually fallen back into
the old way of selling by the dozen. The
housekeeper does not seem to take kindly
to the plan, and prefers to buy the eggs
as she has been accustomed to, getting a
few large ones and some small ones in
the dozen. But undoubtedly the just
way is to buy and sell by weight, as in
this way both buyer and seller would get
full value for eggs and money. 1t would
also have a tendency to stimulate the
breeding of class of fowls that would
lay large, eggs, and so drive all the lay
ers Of small eggs out of existence. Any
observing person will notice that the lay
ers of small eggs, like the Hamburgs,
Polands, etc., are always in the minority
at our shows, which indicate that our ex-
hibitors like to combine the practical
with the beautiful, and that the fowls
known to be layers of large or medium
sized eggs are the chosen birds.-Farm,

COTTED FLEECE.

"Cotted" fleece in sheep is not con-
fined to any breed or country, but is
found among all races, everywhere. This
condition of fleece is caused in many
ways, and may be best understood as a
stoppage in the growth of the wool and
yolk, caused by sudden change in the
environments of the animal, as from good
to poor food in winter, chased by dogs,
physical injuries and difficult partu-
rition. 1t sometimes occurs after hard
drive on the road, when the animals are
put in cool or damp place and allowed
to rest; but one of the greatest melting
causes is plunging them into cold water
at washing-time when they have been
overheated by driving. Thus it may be
seen that this deterioration of the fleece
results from some sudden adverse dis
turbance, and although the other effects
may speedily pass away, the fleece is per-
manently injured. Breeding ewes are
most liable to cotted fleece. Flocks in
which this condition is found most
largely are usually those which possess
delicate constitutions and lack OF
stamina. Where this occurs to sheep
two seasons in succession they should be
weeded out.--NeU York Tribune.

Curing the Falsetto Voice Of Nen.

A St. Louis gentleman tells the follow
ing story: II consulted, the other day,

and lung diseases, man who is famous

tion. Chatting with him after my busi-
ness was disposed of, he casually men
toned discovery he had made a year be-
fore, by which he was able to cure the
falsetto voice of men. 81 thought it was
incurable," said I. tsOh, no." he said.
tssThe cure is mere matter of training a
certain idle throat muscle to do its proper
work. You know Mr.. Blank and Mr..
Dash and young B. I showed them in
ten minutes how to cure the falsetto voice,
and after weeks exercise they all came
back to me talking in full, manly bari
tone and bass voices. y 1sBut it is not
generally known that you have dis
covered this, l said. s'Why don't you
write something about itan aWell, y
said he, II can't afford to antagonize The
profession, as I should do if I advertised
Ehat I could do something other, ply
sicians could not do.

WHAT OATS REQUIRE.

Oats require long season for growth,
and cool weather; therefore sow them
early, but do not SOW on frozen ground
with the expectation that they will sink
down in the mud and SOW themselves.
This slipshod method will do for the poor
ignorant and wretched (no men more SOY
Egyptian ''fellahs" who scatter their seed
wheat on the rich mud left by the foods
of the river Nile, but not for an American
farmer sowing oats in the spring. For
this crop the land must be thoroughly
well plowed and harrowed-it should
be plowed in the fall, in fact-and the
seed must be well covered. And this is
to be done as early as possible. Three
years ago we sowed oats in warm spell
in February but did not cover the seed
deep enough; a hard frost in March
killed nine-tenths of the plants. s.-New
York Observer.
