The Saddle Horse.

A saddle horse can hardly be said to
have passed his primary education,
says the Horseman, until he has been
taught all that is really necessary for an
ordinary roadster to understand He
will have more to do than most riding
horses in the way of passing and meet
ing vehicles and other objects on the
road, and great care and patience
should be exercised to teach him to do
this pleasantly, without getting danger
ously near them, or shying too far away
from them. He should be taught to 60
little faster when overtaking than
when meeting an object. A good bold
rider may allow him to select soft
path near the side of the road to save
his feet, but when so INDUCED there is
always more risk of sudden swerve to
one side, so that less accomplished
rider had better teach his nag to keep
the best path he can find nearer the
middle of the road. Gathering on hard
surfaced roads is an expensive luxury,
especially with a heavy weight, as few
horses stand it long without failing in
the leading fore foot or leg, so that q
young man who wants to save his horse
from lameness had better be content to
walk or trot. In every riding horse, a
good, fast, easy walk is a valuable &C
complishment.

not grow UP and head out much; but it

grand pasture. [ would advise at what
ever time seeding is done, and no mat
ter what kind of grass seeds used, that
you clip back the young grass with the
mower once or twice the first season, to
keep down the weeds and thicken up
the grass. It is vastly ahead of light
pasturing for time. We practice this
on all our newly seeded moving fields,
and the results are satisfactory.

what to do, but not being acquainted in

Should you learn that blue grass seed
had better be sown in the spring, you
may prepare the ground and SOW the
timothy in the fall, and then the other
seed may be sown right on the surface
in the early spring. l should say SOW
very early, so there would be plenty of
time for the freezing and thawing to
cover the seed before the soil settled.

Ohio, copy of a splendid engraving
OF Tohissant LOuverture, the. great

Medieval Economics.


The senior organ OF protection in this
city certainly has the courage OF its folly
when ii confesses that "the precise Object
Of the new tariff law is the restriction OF
trade"
How far back into medieval darkness
does this carry us; The cities OF Europe
once surrounded themselves with walls
that they might tax 10 death the outside
merchant whose hardihOod and commercial
spirit brought him to the gates. The laws
OF EpiIus condemned the syracusan who
dared to trade within their Jurisdiction. But
for centuries il has been the accepted
belief OF enlightened men that cfyiiiza-
ton advanced with trade and that COM
merce promoted peace. England and
France are great because Of their COM
merce. The wonderful prosperity OF the
United States is coeyal with her importanc
AS a trading country. The protective tarifl
was first established in order that we might
stand on an equal footing with the great
European powers in the worlds market.
1t is passing strange, when Mr. Blaine Is
urging that the manufacturers shall have
wider market in Latin-America, that tne
medieval spirit should cry out agains'
trade, in the Newspaper which was once Ms
principal organ. Modern protectionism has
no truer exponent than the Tribune.
