BXEMPTS' SONS.
To Perpetuate the Memory of the
Parent Company.

A meeting was held in the Exempt Fire
mems Building last evening to organize an
auxiliary society, to be known as the Sons
OF the Exempt Fire Company.
The Exempt Firemen, who were organized
in 1866 by an act of the State Legislature
with a membership of $50, have now
dwindled till they only number 139. They
are the owners of property of considerable
worth in addition to their valuable collection
of relics of early days.
Their fast lessening numbers turned the
attention of several of the members to the
necessity of forming an organization to
which they could eventually hand over these
possessions. The precedent set by the Pho
neers in perpetuatlng their organization
by admiding their sons to membership
naturally suggested that this body should be
composed of the sons of the old Exempts,
and an agreement to join such an organlZa-
ton, which was circulated among those
eligible, had By last nights meeting received
torty-tbree signatures.
GOOD WISHES EXPRESSED.
The meeting was called 20 order by PTesi-
dent Hudson of the Exempt Fire Company,
who briefly expressed the good wishes OF the
present organization for the success of the
new one. and suggested that the meeting
proceed 10 elect temporary officers.
George II. Bahrs having been nominated
temporary Chairman and w. c. Wallace
temporary Secretary, MIR. Bahrs returned
thanks for the honor done him, and stated
that their business that evening was to form
au organization TO keep alive the recolec-
ton Of the work done for the infant city by
the volunteer fire companies.
A motion by w. e. DUnnelan that per-
manent organization be formed was carried,
and it was decided to keep tile charter open
for sixty days.
The wishes of the members Of the Ex-
emDt Fire Company with regard to the new
organization were then stated by President
Hudson, who extended the privileges of the
building to the new society on all occasions
but the regular meeting nights of the Ex-
emptS.
CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS.
W. E. DOnnellan. William w. Ackerson,
George NJ. Grief, j. Gallagher and W. G.
wallace were appointed committee to con-
Ter with the following committee of the EX-
empt Flremen George 7. Bohen, Henry A.
Chase, j. }. GullfOil, William Larkins and
Henry ID. Hudson, on the drafting Of con-
slitution and bylaws.
Messrs. Connolly, Newman, GulfOil and
Durkie briefly wished the new movement
success, and on motion of Mr.. Ackerson a
rising vote OF thanks was given to the EX-
emptS for the assistance and encourage
ment they have given the new organization.
The Sons Will meet again on Monday.

AS the best teaching is by indi-
vidual work, SO the best manage
ment of q dairy herd is that which
brings the manager into close rela-
tions and personal contact with each
COW, SO that he comes to know not
only her real value but to understand
her individual peculiarities. To be
q successful breeder of improved
and improving cattle, this personal
acquaintance with each animal is
absolutely essential. The best dali
ryman is something more than
mere utomaton-d doing certain work
day in and day out without thinking
why or wherefore, but simply be-
cause the cogs and grooves in his
internal machinery make him go.
Observation, study and forethought
are essential 20 all progress, in dai-
rying not less than in scientific in
vestigation. If the cows are to be
improved upon they needs must be
understood.-Prof. Hunter Mich
son.

from this Eastern breed all the
qualities that would go to advance
his ends, and by mixing them with
his strong, hardy, trotting mare
produced what was now known as
"the Hackney" It might, there
fore, be considered that the early
British horse was of two kinds-the
fiat racer and trotter. They were
used for totally different purposes,
and for long time were kept en-
tirely distinct. But at length came
the large importation of Eastern
horses, when the two strains, as it
we're, each flowed through the in
undation of Eastern blood, but again
emerged, each with additional and
enhanced qualities, to suit its own
purposes as 'sthe thoroughbred'' and
"the Hackney" respectively. Hav-
ing described the fine qualities
possessed by good Hackney, he
said the breed had the greatest
pluck and the vastest staying power
OF any horse in the world. This
was in virtue of the constant work
and activity that had always been
its lot. If breeders would have it
preserve the precious qualities it
had thus inherited, they must see
that the sires and dams got sufficient
work to develop the necessary mus
Gle. If they kept the sires mostly
indoors, and continued to breed
from mares whose only exercise had
been at the grass, then depend upon
it the characteristic features of the
Hackney would sooner or later dis
appear. They might produce good
enough shapes, but the extraordinary
staying power, the hard muscular
nature, and active nervous tempera-
ment would be sacrificed. These
were created by work, and would
alone be preserved by it. Discuss
ing the question whether the breed
ing of Hackneys would pay Scotch
farmers, Mr.. Morton said he knew a
little of the difficulties to be over
come in establishing a new industry
in district. Still he had seen it
done, and done successfully, under
far greater difficulties than could at
tend the introducing of the Hack
ney breed by Scotch farmers.
Should it be done largely, he felt
certain it would not only pay them
and other breeders as well, but it
would largely improve the horse
service of the country, and almost
add q new social feature to their life,

VOL. XIV.


The Hackney Horse.
At meeting of the Glasgow and
West Of Scotland Agricultural Dis
cussion Society on January "a, Mr..
Alexander Morton, Darvel, Ayr
shire, delivered q lecture on "The
Hackney Horse" Mr.. J. Martin,
of Auchendennan, presided. There
was large attendance of members.
Mr.. Morton said that about twelve
years ago the fact had been forced on
his mind that the Hackney horse
was not the product of mere hap
hazard breeding. It was pure
breed, or at least, it was as pure as
the thoroughbred, and if kept within
its own bounds was safely to be re-
lied on to produces its own stamp.
In tracing back the respective breeds
of the thoroughbred and Hackney it
was found that after 15O to 200 years
they became so much akin on one
side Of their breed that it was inn
possible to separate them. In the
earlier centuries, he believed, how
ever, that tney were two entirely
distinct breeds kept for entirely diff
ferent purposes. One was "a race
of swift runners kept to run for
wagers," while the other was q
breed of stronger horses for long
road journeys, famous for durability
and fast trotting qualities. It was
not till 1665-7O that the breeding of
race horses became science, and it
was from this period that Weather
ley's famous Thoroughbred Stud
book' grappled with pedigrees.
Acting on the orders of King Charles
III, Sir John Fenwick collected
horses of the very highest quality OF
blood to form "the Royal stud,"
from which great many of the best
present day thoroughbreds and
Hackneys are traceable. The breed
or of fiat racers recognized in the
Arabian something he wanted to
give greater swiftness. He there
fore drew from this horse all the
qualities that would go to promote
this end, mixed them with his flat
racing mare, and thereby obtained
a swittness not before equalled.
Thus was formed what was known
as the thoroughbred" But in a
similar way the breeder of the
strong, durable trotting horse rec
ognized something also to promote
his ideas of durability and Fast trot-
ting. He therefore likewise drew

Unc0nsidered Credits-Fair Count for
the Farm.
The profit of farming does not all
consist in sales, or in money left at
the end of the season. What ration
al young city man with no property,
family and moderate salary, would
complain if he did not put by sever
al hundred dollars each year? Thou
sands are in this position, and grate-
full if fortunate enough to "make
both ends meet" by iudicious living.
But young men without money who
hire farms, and at the close of the
year have all bills paid and little
cash left, or gain in growth Of stock,
express dissatisfaction, and adver-
tise the business as improbable.
They forget the good living they
have had, and toe comfortable home
frequently far better than that of
their city brothers, and certainly
more healthful.

rience. His farm 600 acres), tools

America can so much be bought for
so little? Free use of horses has
been overlooked, and many other
privileges. At livery charges, every
