the Republican papers must be terrible

but. John, how can it do that?'
''Well, don Just exactly know, but that's
what it's going to do, because the Republican
papers say so.
II suppose that settles it, but | read the
other day that it would be good thing for
nearly everybody but the rich, and that every
body would get clothing and ever so many
other things a great deal cheaper
"Oh, that's black Democratic lie"
''But | read it in an independent paper,
believe they call it.
II don't care. It's lie. They're going
to bust everything, and | know it.
John aren't there more Democrats than
Republicans in the country?"
''Well, ahem! Yes, | believe so.

ruin themselves, does it?'

t'Oh, they're against the BILL
well, then, believe it will be pretty safe
to say that it will be good thing for plain,
common people like us. 1t can't make things
worse, anyhow We've struggled and saved
for years, and are Just about where we were
when we started. Your wages have been re-

DR.. Hexamer advocates the kitchen
garden as the adjunct of the farm, and
promises, if properly cared for, it will
prove the most profitable acre on it. He
says SIS per acre is good average for field
crops. but how much more the corner set
apart for vegetables and fruits for the
family table will return. Take an acre of
your best land and devote it to garden pur-
poses; plan the planting 50 that the horse
and cultiyator can be made to do most Of
the work, and then hire man just to take
care Of the garden. Those of its products
that are used in the family will more than
pay his wages; any surplus can be sold and
be turned to clear profit, while fully
two-thirds Of the man ) time can be devot-
ed to general farm work, thus giving extra
labor without cost.

Draught- Horse Breeding Will Pay.
From the Farm and Home:

From the Farm and Home.
Draught horses can be raised and pre-
pared for the market with less outlay of
labor and capital than any other breed.
The services of the very best stations will
cost from $50 to s25 The colts can be
left in the stable and halter broken while
the dam can do light farm work; they can
be turned loose in shed or stable the first
and second winters with very little risk of
blemishes. With oats and bran twice a day
and plenty of good fodder and hay they
will be in splendid condition for grass,
At two years old they will be large enough
for teamwork. The fillies can be bred at
this age and will hereafter pay their way
When four or five years old they are ready
for market aud will bring $3.50 to $3.50,
according to weight and quality. In train
ing they require no costly outfit of sulkies,
harnesses. blankets, boots and toe weights;
they require no lineup records; pools are
never sold and book makers are unknown
in draught-horse breeding Why is it that
farmers and small breeders will persist in
losing their money, and common sense
generally, in vain endeavor to produce
race trotters?
No other breed has ever attempted to
supplant the draught horse because all
Others lack power and weight-the impor-
tant points to be considered. In all the
large cities good draught horses find ready
sale at good prices. Records of the Chica-
20 horse market show that draught teams
weighing from 5000 to 5000 pounds
bring from S400 to $500. In the large
cities the heavy traffic requires big draught
teams to draw loads of four and FIVE tons,
and on the hard pavements the best horses
are short-lived when worked constantly
Quick walking draught teams are wanted
on the farms and heavy teams are needed
in the lumber regions. For what other
breed does the demand come from so many
sources? Do not breed with the idea that
draught horse will do for general pur-
pose animal on the farm; better say a
special purpose horse. Yet for the special
nurpose horse there is demand from city
and country, and not from the racetrack
alone, as is the case with trotters. Among
the breeds to select from are the Clydes-
dale, English Shire, Percheron, Belgian
and French Draught, good representatives
of which can be found in most parts of the
country. The best pure bred mares can
be bought for $500 to 5000, stations cost
from 81 900 to $1,000. Finally, let one
rule follow throughout all efforts in breed
ing fit is draught horses one is after,
raise draught horses exclusively and let
every other breed severely alone. Follow
business principles and breed carefully and
there is money in it.

zine treasures Of the Snow.

To the practical man the fall of snow is
u very commonplace affair, offering no food
for thought The housekeeper breads it,
and thinks impatiently of the plazzas that
are to be swept, the paths that are to be
cleared and the amount of extra sweeping
about the premises that every snowfall
brings. Only the little street-sweeper in
the great cities can see treasures in the
snow.
But throughout tradition and literature
are numberless proverbs which show the
blessings of snow, and the wise farmer has
long ago learned to expect full harvests
from the ground which has been well
blanketed in the season when all vegeta-
ton should be at rest. ''For if the grass
grow in Janiveer, it grows the worse for
all the year, says an old proverb. Scien-
tiie research has taught us that vegetation
does not suffer so much from long cOntin-
ued cold as from these open winters, where
there are many changes from thawing to
freezing 1t is not from the cold that we
protect our plants with straw so much as
from the dangers of a warm season, which
starts the sap to running and the plant to
growing, only to cut it short by another
frost From hygienic point of view, the
blessing of heavy snowfall was long ago
recognized in the homely proverb which
says that "A green Christmas makes fat
churchyard.
This has also been verified by science
Frost and snow are Natures own diseniec-
tants So long as the waste of summer
remains seething in the sun, so long may
we expect the miasmatic diseases of fall,
and not until generous snowfall covers
the earth are all soucres of danger safely
buried to form the fertilizers of another
seasons vegetation. 1t is almost impossi
bic to realize that snow is very warm
covering. The little rabbit in the woods
makes his burrows deep down in the drifts,
aud like the Laplander in the Arctic re-
gions creates warm and comfortable dwell
ing from it. The gray squirrel of our native
woods is alive and frolicsome with the first
snowfall, though he hides in his nest when
the chill, sharp winds of winter are blow
ing. In spite of all that so many natura-
lists have claimed, chasing him among our
alternating animals, those who have known
him in his woodland haunts year in and
year out can testify that there is no creature
who so enjoys frolic in the snow in mid
winter He makes great burrows in it,
peering up like prairie dog every now and
then to see what is going on outside, and
he manages to dig up his own treasure of
hills out of the frozen ground from under
the snow.
Under the microscope, snow crystals
assume myriads of geometric forms of mar
vellous beauty and wonderful regularity Of
figure. Often the form is stellar, with
angles of sixty degrees, in obedience to the
law governing the crystallization Of water.
Yet, beginning with this simple form, there
are almost infinite variations making the
crystals of snow worthy of the life study
of meteorologists. There is pretty old
couplet that corroborates in a popular way
the blessing of the snow to the farmers
fields:
