The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-19

It is an unquestioned fact that the
export price of these products gov
erns the price in the home market,
and it will be observed from the
above table that there has been q gen.
eral decline of all prices, and that
they are lower now than at any time
since the beginning of the record.
We would ask Mr.. Mulvsne or any
other good republican for an expla-
nation of this fact. Why should a
bushel Of corn or wheat, or a pound
Of pork or beef be worth less to-day
than in former years. Four years
ago we were promised better times,
should the republican party succeed.
Do these prices indicate better times
Let US look at the indications of
better times as shown by the last re-
port of the secretary of agriculture.
In 1880 the total acreage of wheat in
this country was S7,9S6,717. In 1889
the total acreage was 1928 1859, an
excess in 1889 over 1880 of 137,142
acres. The total crop of 1880 was
498, ,549, 1868 bushels. In 1889 it was
490, $4,000 bushels, an excess in 1880
over 1889 OF 7,989,868 bushels. The
total value of the crop of 1880 was
$474, POI, $50. The total value of the
crop of 1889 was $342, ,491, ,7O7, or
$l31, ,710,143 less than the crop of
1880. The price per bushel in 1880
was 95 cents. The price in 1889 SO
cents, a difference Of 26 cents per
bushel.
The showing in regard to corn is
even worse than this. The total
acreage in 1880 was 62,317842. The
total acreage in 1889 was 78319651,
an excess in 1889 over 1880 of 6,001,-
800 acres. The total product Of 1880
was /, III, ,434, SAB bushels. The total
product of 1889 was 2,112,8 $4,000, an
excess in 1889 over 1880 of 395, ,457, ,457
bushels. The total value of the crop
of 1880 was $679,714,499. The total
value of the crop Of 1889 was $597,-
918,829. Thus 395, ,457, ,457 more BUSH
els in 1889 are worth $81, ,795,670 less
money than the smaller crop of 1880.
Will Mr.. Mulvane tell us the cause
of thisi Will he give as any good
reason why it should be sol In
great and growing country like this,
is there any good reason why such
things should bel Is this a result
of the improved home market that is
to bless this country in consequence
of protection to American industriess

explanation Of this condition Of the

WATERING HORSES.
Repeating the Operation onoo On Hor
Is Not Too Often.

Repeating the operation Ohco oh AoNN
Is Not Too Often.
A horse can live twenty-five days
without solid food, merely drinking
water seventeen days without eating
or drinking, and only Ave days when
eating solid food without drinking. An
idea prevails among horsemen that q
horse should never be watered oftener
than three times day, or In twenty
four hours. This Is not only mistaken
idea, says the Uorseman. but brutal
practice A horses stomach Is ex-
tremely sensitive. and will suffer under
the least Interference, causing
fcverish condition. Feeding q horse
principally on grain and driving 1t five
hours without water is like giving a
man salt mackerel for dinner and not
allowing him to drink before supper
tyme-very unsatisfactory for the
man. II you know anything about the
care of horses and have any sympathy
for them, water them as they want to
drink-once IN hour If possible. BY
doing this you will not only be merciful
to your animals, but you will be a
benefactor to yourself, as they viii do
more work, they will work better and
live longer. If you are a skeptic and
know more'about horses than anyone
else, you are positive that the forego-
Ing is wrong, because you have had
horses die with watering them too
much, and boldly say that the agita-
tors OF frequent watering are fools In
your estimation, and you would not do
such thing. Just reason for q mo-
ment and fgureout whether the animal
would have over-drunk and over
chilled his stomach If he had not been
allowed to become over-th3rsty.
a horse is great deal like a man.
Let him get overworlced, overstarved
or abused, particularly for'the want of
sufficient drink in warm weather, and
the consequences will always DO In
furious Sensible host1eTs In large
cities are awakening to the advantage
of frequent watering Street car
horses are watered every hour, and
sometimes oftener, while they are ut
work. 1t is plenty OF water that sup
plies evaporation or perspiration and
keeps down the temperature

HORSES AND ROADS.
10 Costs No More to Raise Good Ani-
NAL Than Poor One.


No other one cause produces sore
shoulders so quickly as heavy load
and rough road, with continual jerk
,,g of the neck yoke from side TO side
as the four wheels Of the wagon drop
into ruts. The jerking caused by rnts
and sharp, heavy pulls is fruitful source
of strains and sprains with their accom-
panying evils of ringbones spavins
and curbs, especially In horses predis.
posed to these ailments. In horses OF
nervous temperament, the continual
wrenching upon rough roads causes
fretting. and what Is true of man
"fretting and worry pull an individual
down faster than works. equally
true of horse.
The best horse for the better roads
we hope to have must depend upon tho
use to which the horse is to be put II
for road work entirely, there is no bet
ter horse than the American trotter
He has the ability to get over the
ground fast, and the stamina to stay at
it long time. But for farmers, those
who will use the roads the most, q
horse that has more weight is required.
Medium-sized men on an average will
do more work with greater ease than
very large or very small men, and
usually have better constitutions. II
large horses are desired they should be
active. A big horse without action Is
of little use on the farm.
It costs no more to raise good horse
than a poor one; and poor, weak,
slow horse Is dear at any price. The
extra time required by poor horse to
do inferior work, soon amounts TO
good deal, not counting the wear and
tear on the patience or pride OF the
man who works him. When farmers
and stockmen relinquish the idea that
any mare that will breed. no matter
how many ringbones, spavins or other
ailments she has, is good enough to
raise colt; when they pay as much at
tention to selection of dam as OF sire,
since 1t is Just as important, better
horses, freer from common lameness,
that bane of horsefesh, and more eco
nomical In every way, will result-ln"

The Drayton-Borrowe scandal.

The Drayton-Borrowe scandal has bobbed
up again, but in a new shape. Our dis
patches this morning say there are rumors
OF duel between Borrowe and Fox Mil
bank and Fox, it will be remembered, were
the seconds OF Borrowe in the latter's cor-
respondence with Drayton. Milbank came
to this country with Borrowe, and Fox re-
manned in London. Borrowe and Milbank
had not been on the ocean more than two
days before Fox oabled the Drayto Bor-
rowe correspondence to Nav York paper,
and announced that he made 1t public with
Borrowers consent. Borro We and Milbank
did not receive very cordial reception in
New York. Borrowe was condemned in
unmeasured terms for being party to the
publication of the correspondence. He de-
MED that he was responsible for the publica-
ton, but his statement was not generally
credited. He and Milbank went back to
London, 1t is believed. for the purpose of
making Fox admit that Borrowe had moth
ing to do with making the correspondence
public. If the report relative to a duel is
correct, they did not meet with much suc-
cess in getting from Fox what they wanted.
There does not appear to be great deal
Of respect for either Borrowe or his second.
Fox, and there would not be great deal Of
regret anywhere il they should succeed In
seriously injuring each other. Borrowe,
particularly, will hardly find New York a
pleasant place Of residence IN the future.
When lie was there a few weeks ago his old
friends did not give him cordial reception,
and the newspapers gave him and his friend
Milbank 30 much attention Of a most un-
pleasant kind that they were glad to 60
back to England under sssum ed names.
They may DO shown more consideration In
London, but their society is not likely to be
sought anywhere.
