him early, at the best price he can get.
This is what we call breeding to pur-
pose, and going about it'systematically.
which means a profit. But, IN breeding
these two classes of horses, the farmer
will always shave enough that drop
in between these classes to answer for
all general purposes, and if he does not,
he c.n buy common class for service
a great deal cheaper than he can raise
them, as there are so many people breed
ing horses that do not breed to purpose,
that our markets are filed with the com
mon class of horses, and the supply is
very much larger than the demand. 1t
makes these common kinds, that do not
class for any particular use, so very
cheap that they do not bring half the
cost of production. Never was there
time that offered better inducements for
breeding the right kinds of draft and
carriage horses that there is today. 1t is
true, the common grades of horses are
very cheap, but the two classes that we
have mentioned are scarce and dear as
they ever were. and will continue to be
so for many years to come, as we are
well aware it will take many years TO
become posted on the right kind of
horses to breed, and until that day, the
classes that we have mentioned will sell
high. E. P. VI.

the New York World, where it would
appear that towns as well as individuals
have felt the disastrous results of
phlebotomy, there are fully twenty such
abandoned villages, and in Nevada,
California, Georgia and Alabama they
are numerous. Once thriving mining

grew great in a night; boom towns such
as Fargo Springs, that sprang up as
quickly as if a magician had called
them into being. and prosperous and
substantial cities ike Sumner, in early
days the most important town and
prospective metropolis of kansas
scores of these decayed municipalities
now lie abandoned and desOlate, their
houses empty of human tenants and
rotting away, their streets thick with
rank growth of weeds, and only a few
old timers, or in some cases only soG-

present generation of their former
bustle and prosperity. In various in
stances, as at Petersburg, in Georgia,
nothing but mounds of earth and
populous cemetery remain to testify 70

Especially mournful has been the
fate Of those. abandoned towns whose

HUSTLING HORSES.

The EAGLE contains two communica
tionS this morning on an interest il
which Sedgwick county is rapidly com
ing to the front, an interest in which she
leads the state and one which promise;
fame and money, that of fancy bred
horses. One letter is from New York
and is written in the interest of farmers.
The other is local letter about the Toler
farm. Mr.. Henry c.. Jewett of Buffalo,
! n. Y, the owner of the Jewett farm, in
this county, who carefully and conscien-
| tiously studied the question of
grasses water, altitude, climate, ETC.,
with reference TO horse raising, spending
some time in the middle, in the noun
tain and Pacific states, before purchas
ing his five thousand acre plot in this
county, said to us, some years subse-
quently, that for bone, for muscle, for
endurance, and forlung-power, the colts
from hi southwest Kansas farm sur
passed a others. He said another thing,
which was, to US at least, astonish-
ing, and that was that he could
take car load of high-bred
yearling colts, after they had been
pastured a single season IN southwest
Kansas and at the age of two years turn
them loose with colts of like get and
age pastured in New York, or the east,
and that horSeman could go INTO the
herd and from their superior bone and
muscle pick out majority of the Kan
sas colts.
Another farm, headed by Stamboul
blood, known as the Alton Farm, has
been opened within year and promises
to take rank Immediately with the Toler
and Jewett farms. The Alton farm is
owned by wealthy New York City gem
tleman, In addition to these, a gentle
man of note and of horse fame, from
Kentucky has been spending many days
here this winter studying up the advan
tages of southwestKansas for horse breed
ing, he having been attracted here by the
Sedgwick county has already
acquired in this direction. The gentle
man alluded to is reported to have ex-
pressed the opinion, within the present
week, that the character of the grasses
and grains, and the superior climatic
existing here are so pronounc-
ed and observable that when taken in
with the great fancy stock
farms already established here, would

There are but eight working days left
to the present congress and up TO
Wednesday night only one of the appro-
priation bills had been disposed Of 1t
begins to look like the strip bill and the
Hawaiian treaty will fail of considera-
ton, together with TIE silver question
and number of other matters of press
ing Importance. Mr. Cleveland will GER
tainly not lack for reasons for calling
the Fifty-fourth congress together in
special session. Still, it is doubtful that
he will do so. The situatian that will
confront him will afford him the oppor-
tunity he evidently wishes for to display
his statecraft and governmental abilities
in general. According to his notion
there isn't much need for congress any
way; he knows enough to carry on the
government single handed, requiring
only the assistance of his chief clerks,
the heads of the departments.
