colt is physically formed, aud is about to
derive its mental character from the dam,
as we may say with truth; for If any OF
the lower animals exhibit traces OF mind
and reasoning power, the horse excels in
this respect. In it's nervous system, q
horse approaches more closely TO human
being than any other animal, and of all
domestic servants, it ia influenced in o
greater degree by its masters treatment
than any other. The management of the
brood mare then, becomes an important
part of the owners business. Feeding ia

ed orr wearied; the whip should be put
aside-if it is ever used, which is q grand
mistake in the treatment of q horse, but
is made needful at times because of the
use of it upon brood mares-every gentle
attention should be given and in every re-
speet the marc should be controlled by
kindness, and difficulties carefully avoided.
If this conduct were the rule, our horses
would be like those of the Arabs, our
friends and not our slaves, and would be
always willing and eagar to obey our com
mands and even to anticipate them. A

There is power in organization, and mas
much as other classes are thoroughly or
ganized to advance their own interests by
co operating together, is it not the height of
folly for farmers to suppose for moment
that they can sustain themselves single
handed in an unorganized conditionf They
are simply at the mercy of organized pow
err and must yield obedience to the de-
mands of those who are organized, and
pay the exaeted tribute, just or unjust, as
il may be. without recourse. Seventy five
thousand soldiers properly organized. drill
ed and disciplined, will put to flight /, 900,
600 who may undertake to fight single
handed and unorganized 1t is equally as
ffuitless for farmers to undertake to cope
single handed and unorganized, with or
ganized bodies in the race of life; they can
not hold their own, nor sustain their
rights, nor hold their equality among men
until they, too, become as thoroughly or
ganized as others with whom they deal
and compete in the affairs OF life. This is
progressive age. We live IN an age of
progress an age of speed and rapid ad
vancement by steam and electricity, in an
age of struggle for wealth, power and con
troll. History teaches, and experience has
repeatedly demonstrated, that the class
best organized makes the greatest advanc.
ment and becomes the victor in the con-
test.
Shall the American farmers remain un-
organized and become conquered by all
othersf Why are they not organized for
their own protectionf Can we not see the
benefits that would naturally accrue TO US
through the instrumentality Of thorough
organization among ourselves for mutual

gets of the following:-He is farmer, and
he don't live fifty miles from the pretty
little town ON the Cowanshannock known
as Rural Village. Lately he purchased
traction engine to run his thTesher. 1t is
safe to say that he had much better idea
Of driving team than he had Of guiding
the horse scarer," as they are sometimes
properly called One day he started with
his new vehicle to go distance Of several
miles. Along the level road he got along
famously. He made tracks, as it were
Finally, he came to hill. Now traction
engine has to be coaxed to climb a steep
hill 1t has to be fed with plenty of coal
and urged along. 1t must be kept moving.
Well, the engine hadn't enough of steam
on to go up the hill, and the owner thought
he would turn on some more. He turned
handle to increase the speed, but, unfor-
tuuately, it was the wrong way. The en-
CINE had been doing fairly we'll going up
the hill, but it is now discovered that it
was much easier to go down, and down 1t
started, like backing horse. The farmer
did not know how to stop the "critter."
1t backed and backed, and increased its
speed at an alarming rate. The farmer, in
desperation, jumped off and ran along side
Of the machine "Whoa whoap he shout
ed-and, strange to say, the engine stop
ped at once There are those who say
that the stoppage was caused by its back
ing into gutter but the majority seemed
to think think that it was the whoa" that
stopped it. If so, it il truly remarkable
