Written for the Oxford ps~ocrs,

THE OLD OR THE NEWT
That, as we grow old, we should hold
to our early Impressions, or old fogy
notions, is quite natural; yet this does
not necessarily imply that we are always
wrong and the young always right.
When we look at the condition ol
things In the farming community, and
observe the change In the manner oi
conducting the affairs Of the farm, the
question arises, which Il the better, the
old or the new, II IL evidently true tha,
there has been marked Improvement In
many things, breeding, feeding, etc.
What interests many at the present
time IL. what is to be done with the
horses with which this state ls flooded,
to the exclusion Of more profitable
stoeky Years ago the average farmer
would have his yoke Of oxen, i've to ten
cows, and n flock Of sheep, With some
thing coming into the locker ut various
times during the year; and his stock
was as rule fed from the products OF
the farm. How IL Il today From one
to two or three cows, no oxen, no sheep,
from four to ten horses, fed partly from
the farm, and partly from grain grown
In the West. Yes, with the hope OF
developing the trotter, thereby becom-
ing suddenly rich.
We hear Of almost fabulous prices for
horses. Who gets the long prices IL
it the farmers Hardly. The farmer
very seldom gets the cost Of raising. II
one happens to be so lucky, he must
be In the ring. The farmer usually
sells for q moderate price, to some one
who has q faculty for developing, and
many times the horse Is overworked,
drawn up with the abominable head
check, and all the paraphernslis known
to the craft. Then comes the mid
dleman, with q pull at both ends, In
Producing the buyer from abroad, aud
when expenses are paid, and the divvy
made, how many have become richy
Horse buyers from abroad do not 20
among the farmers To purchase as they
once did, consequently II the farmer
does not offer inducements To the go-be-
tweens, he has but little show In the
market.
Another feature Of the case Is, by
breeding exclusively for speed we have
developed the light weights, which are
unsuitable for draft horses, consequently
carload after carload Of horses from the
West and Canada are being brought into
the state.
What can be done with our hOrsesy Is
the question. Horses are as useful as
they ever were, and are source OF great
pleasure, but are they not running many

cows, but the horse for trottlng pur..
poses IL lottery pure and simple, and
the characteristic Of the Yankees, all 10
go one way, Is fully illustrated In the
breeding Of the horse. ~

TACT IN SELLING.

There is one part OF the producing
business to which proper attention has
not been given. Columns have been
written about how to grow or make a
product, but the selling, which is fully
oue-half, has been almost entirely neg
lected. It's all right to know how to
breed, feed and develop a promising
horse, but quite another matter to learn
how to show the same In an attractive
form, Just how Tar TO 20 In sounding Its
praises, and last, but by no means least,
lead the customer to open his wallet to
the utmost, and pay the largest price for
the animal. Right here IL where the ma

the harness may be old or dirty, anu

he IA likely to so far hagnify the strong
polnts as TO suggest weak ones, and un-
iess well balanced In values to frighteu
AWAY by asking either too much or mol

wisdom In this work Of preparing and
selling. II It bes fact, ~ 30 often
stxted. that the buyer realizes more than
the grower, Il Il because he knows bet
ter how TO show and to sell. There's
something here to be cultivated, ano
among other things called for may bs
noted the need Of clean trapplngs, ~

ACTION CALLED FOR.

An examination Of many cOmmunlca'
tiOns received at this office from various
sections Of the country, proves the In
difference or other weakness with many
state masters aud deputy masters. What
can the future Of the grange be where
cries for help to aid In Organization OF
reorganization are passed by unheeded
Let the members Of the Order search
out the true, jealous and self-sacrificlnR
workers and call them to the front, but
with those who neglect their duties and
sacred trusts, return them to the ranks
for further drilling and preparation for
assuming the high and important duties
Of leaders. Too long already has the
order suffered by fearful neglect.
We clip the above suggestive para
graph from a recent Issue of the Grange
Bulletin, n leading exponent Of the prln'
ciples and purposes Of the order Of Pa
irons Of husbandry. IL the grange
would become powerful instrumentai'
lty In leading the rural population up TO
a more united and active influence Ia

awake, active and influential men as Its
standard bearers. Good men and true

can By their own enthusiasm, awaken
following and lead Il on to triumph. III
the grange goes on to Increase It's mum,

results OF its work, 90 well begun, It will
be done, and eau only be done, by true,
self-sacrihclng workers With only the
good of that which they have In hand 10

grandlzement, no place for personal

Too many farmers who are left alone
In their old age and who complain be-
cause their sous all left the farm have
really themselves chiefly to blame for
their condition. They have not treated
their sons as well as they have their colts
and steers for these they have trained to
become useful horses and oxen, but the
boys they have treated as II they were
always to remain boys.
have known men TO retain full con-
troll of all the affairs Of the farm and

Parents should look upon IL "a duty

Men might we'll learn lesson In train

the latter gets older she brings live one

seems TO understand that such expert

her offspring.
SO with the boy, IL Is better that he un-
