Brecdin= fi.oIa Crippled Mares.

In answer to question from Tho
Rural New Yorker on this subject j. 5.
Crosby writes from Greenfield, Mich:
In my numbering operations in this
state find it quito difficult TO get such
draft horses as l need. We imported
from Canada and sent directly to the
woods about forty head of grade mares,
Shires ard Clydes. They had been bred
in Canada and were half, thrce-qunrter
and seven eighth bloods, exc. All pur-
chased and brought here were as good
specimens as we could find in Canada,
and cost from Sl75 to $2i0 per head
there. We pat them in the woods at
work ut the heavy business of lumbe->
ing.
When we have used them two or three
years. if they become injured or debili-
tatod. we send them TO our farm and put
them on grass until they are in perfect
health, although not sufficiently strong
for the heavy work in the woods. They
are then bred to the stallion and used
about the farm for light work until
about four months before foaling time,
when they are again turned loose and
allowed TO run until. they drop their
foals. They require no treatment ex-
cept run at the grass and little con-
dition powder as tonic.
We have found that it is almost i'm
possible TO get mare with the heaves
in foal. If a marc is injured in the legs
or if she has flesh wounds or other In
juries that prevent her from doing hard
work, she may be in just as good
shape TO breed as though she did not
have these wounds or injuries. 1t i
our experience that one seldom sees OF
the colts from perfectly sound ant
strongly bred stations from the Shire
or Clyde breeds any blemishes like side
bones, spavins or other troubles tha
cause lameness. We have never hat
any unsatisfactory colts from the abov;
mentioned treatment of the breeding
question. One perfectly safe in breed
ing mares to perfectly sound stallion
with properly shaped feet and leg bones
OF course the mares must not hav'
blemishes from such causes as rlngbone
aidebone, spavins or other like bleln
ishes and we would never advise breed
ing a mare that has the heaycs.

Bee paralysis is becoming 80 common
ef late that it threatens to be quite n

sources comes the report that common

appeared, while in the outyard. where
no salt was used, there were two cases.

A Convincing Argument.

The Homestead affair is the most
powerful and convincing argument
that can be made to disprove the as
sertion that there is no relation what
ever between tariffs and wages, The
Homestead argument is so plain that
he who runs can read and readily dis
cover that the tariff tax enables the
manufacturer to receive higher price
for his product, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of paying high wages to employs.
Having had the price of his articles
increased by legislation, does the man.
ufacturer sit down to figure out his
excess Of profits by reason of this special
legislation, and then divide it with his
workmen? No, of course not. The
manufacturer goes into the market and
employs his labor at the lowest possible
price. That price is fixed by the law
OF supply and demand and labor unions.
without any regard to the tariff, and
every employer of labor in this country
does the same thing because it is good
business management. When men offer
10 work for two dollars per day, what
manufacturer pays them three dollars
because he is receiving special benefits?
The spectacle of mass meeting of work
ingmen, such as was held at the east
front of the capitol, passing unan-
lmously set of resolutions calling at
tention to the fact that in the face of
an increasing tariff tax the wages of
employees have been reduced 90 per
cent, shows plainly that many work
ing men are opening their eyes and
ready to condemn what they hereto
for accepted as blessing. Columbus

HERE IS an old story, but good one

HERE is an old story, but good one
about the dollar that is not a dollar:
The disparity between Mexican and
an American dollar is a fruitful field
for speculation. A bum at Ell Paso,
Texas, had just one dollar, and drink
of whiskey costs Is cents on either side
of the river, in Ell Paso, Texas, or Del
Monte, Mexico. A Mexican dollar is
worth IS cents on the American side
and the American dollar is So cents on
Mexican side, so he would go into a
saloon on the American side, get a
drink and plank down his Uncle Sam
dollar, get an IS cent Mexican dollar in
change, eat free lunch, 60 over to
Mexico, buy Is cent drink, plank down
his Mexican dollar, get U. S. dol
lar for his IS cents change, then go
over the bridge and repeat it. He had
lived all one winter ON one dollar and
had the dollar left in the spring.

IN A speech in the senate in 1878,

ties they 1.-THE people of Kansas) have
been borrowers and were obliged to
anticipate their revenues and pawn
the future. They had to buy their land,
to build houses. to make highways, to
to bridge streams, construct churches
and school houses and lay the founda-
tions of state. The capitalist of the
east, captivated by the prospects of
secure investments and large interests,
advanced money to the farmers and
took mortgages on their farms; they
purchased tax-titles the induced the
cities and counties to issue bonds for
the construction of railroads and court
houses and works of public improve
ment. They loaned their capital at
exhorbitant rates, beginning at ten
per cent and thence ranging through
the various grades, by which into
usury, usury into extortion and all into
larceny and spoliation. But soon the
circulating medium began to be dimin-
ished by law. The public debt was
declared to be payable in coin and then
the money power of silver was destroy
ed. The value of everything was
deprecated except debts and gold.
The mortgages, the bond, the tax have
retained immortal youth and vigor.
They have not deprecated. The debt
remains, but the capacity to pay has
been destroyed. Congressional Rec
ord, vol. Z, page 1854.

FIRE!

We never bet, but if we did bet we
wouldn't hesitate to wager nickles to
peanuts that every windmill company
in this country will have fire year
from now, since they know not what to
do except to do the thing We do. We
had one this morning, May %. The
other fellows will think it one of our
schemes for getting away with them.
About year from now the fact will
dawn on them that the burning out of
the upper stories of one of our enorm-
Gus buildings is what makes our wind
mill stems storms that PROSTATE all
others and cause the Aermotor to run
and do effective work when all other
windmills stand still for want of wind.
These are the chronicles: A FIRE
AT IN THE MORNING. Extin-
guisEed at 4! Insurance adjusted at
7:30! Started up the machines at 1890
IN the lower stories of the building that
had the top burned off! All this oc-
CURED Saturday! Monday, every de-
partment working as usual, though not
in old quarters! And there was no de-
lay to business!
The Aermotor Co. rises to any occa-
sion. When on the first of April, it be-
came apparent that its AZ acres of floor
space was not enough, an acre more
of ground was covered with brick build
ings in 80 days, and part of those
buildings was occupied within three
weeks of the time it was decided to
build them. A fire costing few thou
sand dollars is hailed by every Aer-
motor employee with smiling coun-
tenance as affording an opportunity to
show what he can do. What caused
the fire is not known, but everybody
| among our hundreds of Aermotor
| workers has such an enormously rapid
| move on him, made necessary by the
| tremendous demand for Aermotors,
that we should not be surprised if it
were due to the friction caused by one
| of them in his herculean endeavor to
get out his portion of the work. We
do not assert this to be fact. We
only assert that we have worked night
and day to supply the demand and
that we have the largest best equipped
factory on earth for that purpose and
we now hasten to assure you that the
recent fire will cause no delay.
Lest the thousands in need of Aer-
motors should overwhelm us-kill us
with kindness so " Hreak-by sending
too many and too large orders, all at
once, as an expression of appreciatio n
of energy, enterprise, and pluck, we
suggest that you send it yours at once
|-now-and let others send theirs a
little later. AERMOTOR Co.,

all that constitutes the charge of cor
ruption made against them. 1t would
have been good politics had it sue
ceeded.
It was the knowledge that efforts of
this sort would be made by republicans
in the south that induced democrats
in Kansas, Colorado and Dakota to at
tempt an Offset by combining with the
peoples party in those states. The
republicans of the south probably have
no sympathy with alliance doctrines,
but their political sagacity led them TO
an action which promised democratic
defeat. While the outcome in Alabama
satisfies democrats that the south will
show an unbroken front in November,
it also warns them that every effort
Will be made this fall to carry some
southern state for Weaver. Republi-
cans will be induced to vote the Weaver
electoral ticket and they will have the
countenance of the national committee
in this course.
It is for this reason that democrats
in the western states propose to use
the same method of warfare. No demo-
crat wants Weaver for president, but
the possible loss of southern state
must be met by the certain loss to the
republicans of two or three western
states. 1t is political strategy. and
every argument against it is inspired
by false pretense. G
According to republican reasoning
in Kansas, there is no republican party
in Alabama. So called republicans
have sacrificed their principles to an
unholy alliance with the peoples party.
In Texas the same condition is expected
In other southern states the same plan
will be adopted and republican leaders
who make it a success would stand

would occupy well padded stalls at the
