HORSE BREEDING.
FONTS That Will Promote the Salablo
Valne of AninalA.

Fsfuts That VIII Promote the Salabls
Value of Animals.
The first requisite, whether for road
sters or draft, is purity of blood in the
sire Let this be the first step: The
difference in value between ordinary
horses and good horses is a hundred
per cent. between good horses and the
best, quite another hundred per cent.
Or more.
To sell well. horse must be good
looking symmetry is not sufficient
and good in form, and possess that
make that wears well in work, WELL
placed. well-made legs, and sound feet,
with sound tendons that have free play,
well back.
Action is our next point Height,
celebrity and power, cover or long stride.
To gain this all the movable bones
above the knee and hook, coupled with
their relative positions, the concert of
points, must be long-e. g., a deep, OBJ
lique shoulder blade, a proportionate
arm, as muscular as you can breed it, a
long muscular forearm, and fore feet
well to the front, hind legs under the
incidence of the weight, shanks or
cannons, short and fiat between both
knees and hocks-something for these
important points to rest on-not tied
under, the leverage bones well devel-
oped; long and prominent elbows;
trapezium. the bone at the back of the
knee, and the sesamoids and the back
and summit of the fetlock, and pas
terms well developed. hips moderately
wide, the STILES well up in line with
the elbows-point of the hook pro-
nounced-also those bones at the back
Of the lined fetlock.
It is for want of sufficient develop
ment, as stated above, that the great
middle-class horse shows so little re-
enumeration.
Knees and hooks demand great lat
eral width (breadth) above them, and
at their base clean, bold joints, pas
terms oblique and long, of good sub
stance, provided they are not down
or weak. Power at the knee and
hook represents stability and force in
action.
Muscular power is demanded in
value at the shoulders, back, loins and
quarters. The horse moves best whose
limbs are so placed that he can move
with power. precision and celebrity
coordination in action. He must go
all round, we'll up, and get away to
make hatful of money.
Breed from game percentages; go for
shoulders and soundness! Soundness
in hind limb and eyesight! Then edu-
cate and impart manners, for an I'M
broken horse fetches broken price!
The education of horse should be
done artistically; finishing a horse,
good grooming and biting, ETC., is
remunerative. Manners are seductive.
Ability in harness or the pig skin is
striking.
Grand shapes always rivet the buy
er's attention, especially if accom-
panied with big heart. Clean
actioned, forcible horses are the sale
the supply short, the demand world
wide. A fine performer in leather or
across country is justly admired.
Breed the best and grow the best,
and use all the latest aids to improve
ments, and horse-breeding will pay
handsomely for years.-Scottish Farm

that Early made in delaying mis- attack, but
there is no doubt he was under orders from
Lee not to enter the city, his object being
simply to distract General GRANTS attention
from Richmond.
Meanwhile Briggs came up with his men,
and the little force made fair Roadway
against the encroaehing enemy. Ali
through the hot hours of the day they kept
the foe at bay, and afternoon saw them
tigue. Suddenly the scouts ran in with the
unwelcome tidings that the enemy was adj
vancing down the pike in force and was
about to charge upon them.
In this extremity he sent for orders from
the ranking officer, for, in addition to their
exhausted condition, their ammunition was
failing them. Harry fairly ground his teeth
with rage when the word was simply
brought back for him "to hang on" but,
like the brave soldier he was, he resolved
to meet death with his face to the toe,
though no chance of escape seemed posi-
bic.
On came the evening. Surely the days Of
the Michigan heroes were numbered, for,
like the waves of the sea, that great host
would sweep them from the earth. But no.
A wild cheer! Harry turned to the fort, on
which in an instant every eye seemed fixed,
and there, to his joy, he saw the Greek
cross of the Sixth Corps floating defantly
on the breeze.
Oh, how Harry's heart beat as he saw the
magnificent troops under General Wright
march out and form in line of battle.
Steady as if on a parade they passed. Harry
and his men, and before their solid front
the Confederate ranks fell back in sullen re-
treat Washington was once more saved.
CHAPTER X.
FAIR CHAMPIONS.
Harry Winthrop was the last man in the
world to question the sagacity of his superb
ors, but his patience was sorely tried during
the next week or two, for it seemed as if
the authorities were resolved to harass the
life out of the light cavalry.
First they were marched toward Baltl-
more, then recalled, then started on a wild
goose chase after Bradley Johnson's brigade,
and just as they had come up with him,
while he was leisurely driving away vast
herds of cattle and sheep he had captured,
orders came not to attack him; and hardly
had the angry men recovered the disap-
pontment and the dusty clouds that lowered
over the Confederate host vanished than
these orders were countermanded, and they
were told to strike the enemy whom now
they could not find. Next they were hur-
ried in hot haste to the Shenandoah valley,
called back to Washington, dispatched with
flying speed to Harper's Ferry, started
toward Winchester, then compelled to make
a forced march to Frederick, Md. And all
this on half rations, under blazing sun,
beneath the fury of whose burning rays
more than four hundred men dropped sense
less from the saddle.
1 have heard Harry Winthrop say that the
most exquisite luxury of personal comfort
he ever enjoyed was hot-water bath at the
hotel at Frederick, and, next to that, sound
sleep for nine hours in a real bed, which
that hospitable city afforded him. For near
ly whole week he was a gentleman at

and made dash for liberty.
"Cut him down, men! Cut him down; but

Harry knew we'll what the order meant
that their force was small and that they
feared to rouse his troopers; so, shouting
to the top of his voice for help, he boldly
set his back against tree and faced ms
enemies. Nor was his cry UNDECIDED. With

"Faithl it was q close call for Won.
Major" Captain Gore, who had succeeded
to the command of Harry's troop. said.
"But what were you doing out in the woods
here alone!n
Harry flushed scarlet, but hoarse cries of
Indignation from thicket close by dis
tracted Cores attention and spared him the
pain OF explanation. With the rest he ran
to the scene of the disturbance Well
might his gallant troopers utter loud threats
OF vengeance; for stretched upon the
ground lay one of their comrades. man thew
had missed two days before, bound with
thin rope so tightly that his lacerated wrists
were streaming with blood, while his swollen
tongue and torn lips were tied back with
common piece of whip-cord.
Tendcrly they bore the poor fellow to
camp, but it was long ere he could make
them understand what had befallen him.
Then they learned that he had been set
upon by a small band of Moseby's men,
who had been hoverin g round the command;
and, when noon was near, Winthrop elected
from hum the further information that Le-
croix had been with his torturers from the
hour they had captured him till he had
tainted wiz pain in the thicket, where they
found him gagged and bound. Now, if the
Frenchman had been in the woods all the
previous day, how could he have been
present at Kate Frobisham's sick bedside
a dozen miles awaya Pshaw! The whole
story was lie concocted to entrap him
into the meshes of the enemy. Then great
exultant joy possessed him to think that
the woman he loved was safe; though, even
in the exuberance of his happiness, I am
afraid that if he had been brought face to
face with the ingenious Canadian, the in
terview would hardly have been of an
agreeable character to Mr.. Alphonse Le-
cr0iX.

SIOUX FALLS. July lO-At to-day's ses-
sion OF the constitutional convention the
question under consideration was the
power of the convention to change the con
stitutiOn of 1885. IL came up on q motion
to refer different articles OF that document
to appropriate committees President
Edgerton argued that such reference i'm
piled the conventions power to change
any and every article, whereas congress
had limited changes TO certain specific
provisions. In opposition to this view
Delegates jolly, Caldwell and others main
tanned that what was referred merely pur-
ported TO be part OF the constitution OF 1855
and the convention could officially know
the provisions of said document only upon
report OF committee or by examination
thereof as q body. This matter will come
up again Tomorrow. and Il regarded a.
specially important, as certain changes
might jeopOrdlZe the presidents prOclama-
tiOn OF admission and cause IL 10 be de
