BREEDING salable Horses.

1t is safe to say that no other branch
OF our agricultural industries have so
many failures taken place, and have
as many thousands of dollars been
sqnandered as in that of horse breed
in The reason for this Is obvious to
all practical horsemen. The majority
of men engaged in it commenced with
out experience, with no definite plan,
paid no regard to the conditions or
demands of the market, or else they
disregarded all the laws of breeding.
The cry in nearly every farmers and
horseman's mouth at the present time
is "The horse business is dead" but is
this correct? 1t il true that the mark
ct reports show that horses arc selling
in variohs markets from $50 to $50,
and in some markets may be had at
$35 to $40 apiece. But what are they
simply scrubs or "go-be-tweens;"
neither trotters, fine carriage horses
nor first-class draft. Go into any of
our markets or aruond the country in
search of fine single driver, snowy
sound pair of coachers or first-class
draft team, and you will have to go
deep into your pocket to secure them,
even if you find just what you want,
which is no. always an easy thing

Some new use for paper is heard of
almost every week. The latest is to
use paper bags for the collection and
removal of garbage They are two
and half feet long, made of heavy
manila paper, coated with oil and
rosin, and cost only two cents apiece.
The garbage isput in them day by
day, and when the cart comes round
the bag is lifted into it and carried
away for good. They are said TO be
waterproof, to give off little odor, and
to be recommended by the New York
board of health.

The introduction OF reindeer into
Alaska promises to greatly aid the
settlementan development of that
country. Rev. Sheldon Jackson, who
has returned from missionary trip
TO this region, reports its people to be
hardy and active. They are at present
suffering from lack of necessaries Of
life. because ofthe destruction of the
whale aud the walrus, which have
been their favorite food, aud the wild
reindeer that used to be plentiful have
all been killed off. There is abuud-
ance of reindeer food for two million
of these animals, and this will easily
support one hundred thousand people.
Reindeer expresses are likely to be-
come the favorite mode of travelling.
A speed of 100 to $50 miles per day
is the usual gait, according to the con-
dition of the roads. Reindeer skins
will also take the place of buffalo robes
since the extinction of the buffalo has
made these too scarce aud dear. Alas
ka abounds in mineral wealth, and the
use of reindeer, as these are used in
is just what is needed to aid

An Eastern paper says: The Penn
sylvania State Board of Agriculture
has collected some very interesting
statistics about farm mortgages in that
State. During the past ten years
nearly 80 per cent. of these mortgages
bore interest at six per cent, and only
III per cent. interest at less than this
rate. Twelve per cent. of the mort
cages were for sums less than 500; %
per cent. were for sums between $1,000
and $4,000. An average of very near
lysix per cent. interest is for these
times more than Eastern farmers
ought to pay. There are in all the
money centres large sums in savings
banks which only give their owners
four per cent, and in some places less
than that. 1t ought to be possible to
borrow money on well-improved
farms for term of years at Al to five
per cent. 1t is done in some cases.
What is needed is to bring farmers IN
with depositors in the
savings banks. The result would
prove benefit to both parties
