American Agriculturist
A colts education should begin the first
week of its life. Then Its disposition 10
formed hotter than at any other time. 1t is
most easily impressed, and has not acquired
q tendency to resist. Whatever is Taught
then the colt falls direct into, ami il be-
comes, in a manner, instructive. The young
animal has nothing to unlearn after ards.
If this education is begun In time and Is
kept mp constantly. Young colts trained
for the track are put TO work ct two years
old and run races; a sort of work that re-
qures much more difficult management
than the ordinary work of the road, or the
field. The farm horse may DO taught any
thing the owner wishes before this age,
and may earn its living at light work be-
fore it is two years old. regular course
of gentle and kind training is indispens-
able. The first lesson Is the use of the hal
ter and the confinement by it. If 1t is tied
up in q small stall near the dam and let
loose twice during the day and all night
and taught to be led the greater part of it's
education has been accomplished. for the
whole of this consists In subservience TO its
owners will, which ls the object and result
of education. When this has been done
everything after comes as q matter of
course If no mistakes are made. The ami
NAL should never be frightened or whipped.
There 10 no use for whip at any time
with a well-trained work horse Indeed,
1t 10 injurious with many high spirited
horses. In the use OF saddle or harness q
perfect fit is indispensable, as the principal
idea running all through the training Is
that nothing shall be disagreeable or pain
full to the animal. Thus by gradual teach
ing, it's duty and business is learned and it
understands what is required of it. 1t is
naturally willing to obey aud is pleased to
work when il has never been hurt by it.
But W hen it's education Is considered COM
plete it should not be suspended. for like
that of man. 1t goes on continually. some
new experience coming up at times that
calls for the good management of the
horses owner.

Corn and Oats Followed wheat, but Pork
Fell Few No,ches.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24-With much to de-
press prices and nothing in sight to encour-
age buying. the wheat market ruled strong
and closed at an advance of a c after q weak
opening. Corn and oats were dull bat
frmer and gained about Ac in corn and 80
in oats. Provisions were fairly steady and
generally little lower. The strength in
wheat was due to speculative buying. A
good many shorts. who had q satisfactory
profit, covered end secured it. There was
q fair investment demand also. A good
deal of this buying was attributed to New
York operators. who are supposed to
be already long. A down turn in
prices at the stert was attributed to the
fact that cables came easier. The local re-
ceipts were about 100 cars in excess of the
estimates, and the amount of wheat and
flour on ocean passage increased nearly
100000 bushels. The receipts In the North
west were small, % cars at ID uluth and 165
at Minneapolis. This was accounted for
by the late storms. One notable feature
has been the gradual narrowing of the
difference between July and May. They

Trade Improving with Milder Weather
Prices on Most Articles Still Firm.
Two or three days of mIlder weather has
given moro snap to trade and enabled the
commission men to ship fruits and veg
etsbles with safety against freezing. This.
however. has not weakened prices on such
articles. Onions have gene up to "a per
barrel, cabbages to $3.50 10 SITS and po-
tatoes are firm at sl.10 per bushel. Poultry

are coming in more freely and prices are
easy at the recent reduction. The hide
market is some firmer and more doing. Pro-
visions are moving freely. despite the IN
precedentedly high prices. The seed men
are doing more and look for an active
early spring trade. Coal-dealers are doing
more than in the last five years. Prices
have not advanced, but ere very firm, SO
difficult is it to get coal.
