THE FAST WALK.

The item that in one form or another
papers devoted to the horse, and which
advises that horses should be learned to
walk fast, is worth paying some atten-
ton to, for a slOw-walling horse is an
abominaton. Besides being taught to
walk fast horse should also be taught
to trot not to trOt as the term is defined
by the racing man, but to trOt easily and
gracefully at whatever gait he may be
asked to go. As between the horse that
trots when going slow with a Looping,
fay stride, and that stumbles every few
rods, and the one that carries himself
with light graceful air, puts a little
vim into his trot and picks up his feet as
he should, there can be no question as
to which would bring the most money
as road horse, even though the aNk-
ward. stumbling one should have great
deal the most speed. Some horses can
never be taught to be as graceful and
prompt as a perfect road horse should
be, but by taking pains with them when
they are young, such horses can be at
least improved, and those that are natur-
ally inclined to be anywhere near right
in that respect can be learned to become
pretty nearly perfect, whereas if they
are not taught and handled as they
should be, they will in time lose much
of their natural aptitude. y colt, like a
boy, should be brought up in the way he
is expected to go. 1t is not hard to do
this and moreover, it pays Raymond
in Clark's Horse Review.

explained, are intended for the use of an
intelligent and civilized people, and cir

they will have to answer in the courts.

THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE
From the Horseman, Chicago.l

From the Ilorseman, Chicago.
The present depressed condition of Il e
horse market offers an excellent time for
Il consideration of the future of the in
dustry. For many years horses have
been raised at profit; good ones at a
large margin of profit, while poorer,
lndiilerently-bred ones have more than
paid the cost of production. No line of
livestock breeding has been so thought
lessly, recklessly handled as that of
horses. Line-breeding-the bedrock of
successful work-has been disregarded;
violent and ridiculous crosses have been
resorted TO in an attempt to produce an
animal suited to the caprices of the
breeder. The attempt to produce that
mythical animal, the general purpose
horse, has done much to aid in giving us
unstable stock. The mad race tor
speed alOne-leavIng out of considera-
ton all other qualities that go to make
up the desirable road horse-has given
us thousands of nCndescript creations,
not only destitute of speed, but of all
other qualities required by the present
market.
As a result of this loose breeding on
the one side and misdirected, intensive
breeding on the other, it Is no wonder
that we reach time when large per-
centage of the horses in the hands of
our breeders are either outside the line
of market requirements or are only
salable at price below the cost of pro.
duction. The only way out of the diff
fculty was to "call halt" in breeding
and then carefully consider the situation.
The call has been needed; the halt has
come.
Breeders from habit, purposeless
breeders, and mis-directed breeders,
alarmed at the accumulation of stock on

all that is vital to the decision of any
race. The advantages of the kineto-
scope over the single impression camera
are many. Its negatives will show all
the changes of position, even to every
stride of the horses, and the ease with
which 1t is operated will render it a
valuable adjunct to the paraphernalia of

plainly exhibits all the movement of the

NARlOIIS NOTES

In 1879, the year in which the stald-
ard was adopted, the trotting record was
held by st. Julien, and his time was
2:l24. The , 80 list was then compare
tivey a small affair. Now eight and
three-quartcrs seconds have been taken
from the trotting record, and the , 80
list numbers about II, 900 performers.
One fact IN breeding is too often over
looked. Men who own brood mares or
select sires seem to think only of some
special virtue. The mare has good
disposition; she is fast walker and a
free driver, or the stallion has low
record. All of these are good, but what
about the outs? The fact is that bad as
well as good qualities are transmitted,
and it is the sum total OF the whole
which tells the story. Look sharply
after the weak spots and do not allow
the excellence of IA single good quality
to blind the glazing defects Exchange.
The kaleidoscope recently perfected by
Edison promises to be of almost limit
less benefit in accurately determining
winners in close finishes. The great
value of this new camera consists in the
number of continuous imprt ssions it
furnishes, thus showing every motion
and change of position for limited
space of time. In a public trial made
with kinetoscope few days ago pho
tographs were taken at the rate of forty
six to the second, the exposure lasting
twenty seconds, the length of time
necessary for the unrOling of the en-
tire film. The camera is kept in
darkness and when the impressions are
desired the curtain is withdrawn, the
structure pushed forward on rollers,
the mechanism thereby started and the
exposure takes place. Such extreme
speed is by no means necessary for the
photographng of close finishes half
that number of impressions would show

Are we making a great mistake in breed
ing ndscriminately our well-bred
American roadster mares to imported
coach stations? There are very few
mares fitted to produce really good
cOachers. Never cross types. When a
really good mare of the right conforma
ton is found by all means breed her to

native mares, why not stay with the
American horse? We must consider the
present low prices of horses as god
send to the American horse industry.
This lOw-priced era will usher in new
order of things. Now, if men that lack
the intelligence, tact and discernment
necessary to successful work Will keep

when with better stock and better
methods, we shall produce better horses,
that will command better prices than

Vituperative Journalism.

Journalism" the Greenwood Miss.

"Wtuperative journalism is spe-

a few short years will be a. thing, of
the past in Mississippi. Our editors
are growing. Newspapers are not
made to abuse, to malign and .calum--
Mate private character The private
affairs of people are OF little interest
to the public. And the editor whe,.
for revenge, personal. gain,- political
advantage or cheap notoriety, would
enter the sacred precincts of the
hallewed home-the holy, of. holies~of
private life-and with ghoulish glee
tear away with ruthless hands the
curtain of privacy and present to the
world through distorted medium
the peocadilloes of domestic life, is
an object the depth of whose deyiltry
and damned raseality is unfathoma-
BILE. The people are growing. in in

is a fungus growth, the presence of
which always betokens decay. The
vulgar crowd which heretofore have
drunk with such avidity from his
pen-the fountain of literary slop
and filth-and smacked their lips and
paid him for it, now turn from him in
disgust and despise themselves for
having been imposed upon by the
miserable charlatan. The change is
