freight rate was raised to Is cents. Inc
road that did the carrying took 9 cents,
and the remaining cents was DIVIDED
among the three roads. The remedy
against Canadian competition is not IN
pooling. Under the old system the Ca
madam roads had nice way OF KICKING
out of the traces whenever there was
an opportunity to cut rates, but when
there was plenty of trade and
rates were good, they were Will
ing to remain in the pool. The object
of a pool is to get good rates and keep
them. That seems all right, and the
roads should be allowed to make a fair
profit, and it seems to be the aim OF the
interstate law to give the roads all the
advantage of the pool without allowing
any rebates and unfair discrimination.
The people are not yet ready for the
question of any change or amendment
in our interstate commerce laws as re-
CARDS our own lines, but it is only right
that Canadian roads doing business IN
this country shall conform to our rail-
road laws"

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.

Dizziness was about the only important

HORSE FOR THE FARM.
Some Suggestions by G, w. Robin
son in the Indiana Farmer.

oOIuC 0uSSCSClOuS NY W. W. 1lOUIus
son in the Indiana Farmer.
The thoroughbred or trotting horse,
bred for speed alone, and the massive
draft horse, bred only for great strength
and endurance, approach perfection;
but the general farm horse, with the
many demands made upon him and
bred by countless numbers of farmers.
has not as yet become fixed type. He
must have the size and strength to
draw the pillow with ease; he must have
the style and action necessary to make
the trip to market and back in the least
possible time; he must be of docile
disposition, though not to the detractiou
of nerve. a most necessary qualification
must be such horse as can success
fully meet competition in the sale ring.
We find very few built that way, but it
can be done if gone about with a will
aud bred year after year with these OBJ
jectS in view. Do not allow fancy,
friendship, poverty, or anything else to
cause you to turn to the right OF to the
left.
A large majority of farmers will
breed their mares one year to heavy
draft stallion. BY the time the fillieS
so produced are old enough to breed,
these men have CHANGED to see high
stepping, snowy roadster stallion; they
are captivated and the grade draft
FLIES are bred to him. About this time
their friend will probably buy stallion
aud they breed this produce to him, re-
CARELESS of his makeup, be he large or
small, good, bad or Indifferent The
next move they make will be to breed
to some dilapidated, unSound stallion,
simply because the fee is low and they
chance to be ''hard up" Now an in
spiration selZes them and they breed to
a jack, and mule is the result OF these
years Of struggle with the problems of
horse breeding. However, at this stage
Nature heads them Off, and said mule is
the last OF the race. Any one can see
that such course is productive OF but
one rcsult-iailure; and you had better
spend short time in Self-cOmmunion
and see how nearly the shoe fits YOU.
You may say that the mule is not fail
ure. | agree with you if the mule is
good one, but a mule so produced will
not be good one and is failure, and
his days will be spent in studying out
the intricacies Of his ancestry.
Then how shall we produce the horse
best adapted to general farm use? Select
your best mares; sell two poor ones and
buy one that is good. taking soundness
above all things into consideration.
Breed these mares to pnre-bred draft
stallion, he be PsrcherOn, Clydesdale,
Belgian OF Shire. Willie every one un-
doubtedly has his personal preferences,
it is a recognized fact that any of tile
breeds named will greatly improve the
common horse.

consistency of commercial action is lacking;

Of business are highly satisfactory, and for
others much the reverse. Many iron works
are closing, for example, but many are doing
remarkably well; many wooden mills are
idle, but others are at work full time with
fair profits. The approaching transition
