OUR RURAL FRIENDS.
rhe Breeding of Draft Horses Is a Prof:a-
BILE Business-Rock Phosphate Better
Than That Made from Bone-IIow tn
Thin Fruit.


Draft horses can be IA ised and pre-
pared for the market with less outlay
of labor and capital, says a writer IN
the Farm and Home, than any other
breed. The services of the very best
stations will cost FROM $50 to $50.
The colts can he left. in the stable
and halter broken, while the dam
can do light farm work: they can be
turned loose in a shed or a stable
the first and second winters with
very little risk Of blemlsheS. 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 he large
enough for farm work.
The FLIES can he bred at this age
and will thereafter pay their way.
When four or five years Old they are
ready for market and will bring $50
quality. In training they re iuire no
costly outfit Of sulkies, harness,
blankets, DO t., and Oe-weightS:theY
require no lineup records: pools are
never sold and hook-makers are un-
known in draft-horse breeding. Why
is it that farmers and small breeders
will persist in losing their money,
and common sense generally, in a vain
cndeavor to produce race trOtters?
No other breed has ever attempted
to supplant the draft horse because
all others lack power and weight
the important poipts to he considered.
In all the large cities good draft
horses find ready sale at good prices.
Records of the Chicago horse market
show that draft teams weighing from
3. 200 to 3, 900 lbs. bring $500 to $500.
In the large cities the heavy tratlic
requires big draft teams Odraw loads
of four or five tons. and on the hard
pavcments the best horses are short
lived when worked constantly. quick
walking draft teams are wanted on
the farms and heavy teams are needed
in the lumber regions.
For what other breed does the de-
maud C me from So many sourceS?:
DO not breed with the, idea that a
draft horse will do for IA general-pur-
pose animal on the farm: letter say a
special-purpose horse. Iet for the
srecial-purpose horse there is a de-
mand from city and country. and not
from the race track alone, as in the
case with Jrottcrs. Among the
breeds 10 elect from are the ClyGeS-
dale. English Shire. P~ercheron. Bel
gian, and French Draft. good repre-
sentatiyes of which can lie found in
most parts Of the country. The best
pure-hred mares cal be bought Tor
$500 to 500: stations cost rom 81
600 to 3, coo. Finally, let one rule
follow throughout ali efforts in breed
ing. ii ii is dra,t horses one is after,
raise draft horses exclusively, and
let every other. freed severely alone.
Follow buSine $ principles and breed
carefully ana there is money III it.

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION: We G;

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION: We can
imagine nothing more depressing to
the average criminal than a private
dead silence, with no excited crowd
of spectators to encourage him to
pose as a martyr or a hero. The new
Indiana fashion is infinitely better
than the old way. Public executions
are brutalizing and they increase
crime. Private midnight executions
terrorize not only the prisoner, but
they cause the criminal masses to
view with alarm the prospect Of a
doom so swift. silent and gtim-a
leap from the darkness Of this world
into the blacker gulf Of the unknown.

The idea that what is called rock
phosphate is of less value than that
from bone is quite general among
farmers. Ii the bone were ground III
a raw state and then reduced to pow
der by use of sulphuric acid, it would
surely lie more valuable, for it would
have. in addition to phosphate Of
lime, a. considerable proportion Of
highly available nitrogen.
In fact, however, practically all
the bone phosphate made now has
first been burned. 1t is used as
burned bone for refining sugar, and
after it has served this purpose all its
nitrogen has be n taken from it. If
there are life. enceS between differ.
ent brands of phosphate, it is more
likely due to the character OF the
nitrogen that is put with them to
make them more available.

AFTER BRIDE TAKERS.
New Orleans Grand Jury Makes a
Scathing Presentment.

Scathing Presentment.
New Orleans, Aug. 31-After indicting
eleven members Of the city council, iucIu-
ding the president and the city engineer,
the term of the grand jury expired to-day
and it was discharged by Judge Noise
after presenting a report which is a most
scathlng denunciation of the crookedness
rampant in the city hall and explains
why several indictments which were ex-
pected could not be found owing TO inabil-
lty to get evidence on which a conviction
In the court would be certain to follow.
The first subject treated of is the sale
OF railroad franchises by the city council
Tor rldiculOusly low prices An iuvesti-
CATION OF the books of the New Orleans
Traction Company, which now owns
nearly all of the street car lines of the
city, shows remarkable discrepancies.
For instance, there is the sale
OF the extension of the franchise
of New Orleans City and Lake railroad,
Tor which the city received $1,000 The
Traction company's books show that $780,
coo was paid To Henry Bier the broker,
besides commission of $4,000 The
books of Mr. Bier do not show w there the
extra 100000 went TO, and he could not
produce his ledger, as he said it had
been lost.
The Craction Company's books show the
disappearance of 500, 900, which was paid
10 Maurice j. Hart who is the manager
of the Rosetta Gravel Company and who
Is generally supposed to have engineered
the railroad deals kthrough the
council. The gravel company's books
do not show any entries of
these checks The contractors,
report refers to the jail contract and re-
cites all the crookedness connected with
1t. A deal which failed to go through in
connection with this contract was said to
have Melted this official and the members
of the special committee of the council
So, 600.
Favored legislation in the interest of a
certain paving contractor is strongly
commented on, but there was no posi-
blllty OF sgetting at sufficient evidence TO
indict for bribery. The fact that not
one member of the city council responded
TO the request of the grand Jury to assist
IN exposing crookedness is cited, and the
new. garbage scheme is vigorously de-
nounced.
Franchises granted to the Illinois Cen
trail road are shown to have been given
regardless of the public interests. Two
indictments for bribery accompanied the
report. One was against Councilman
Dan A. Mayer, and the other against AL
derman John M. Clark. The former was
charged with feloniously and corruptly
proposing to receive a bride from Mar
cisse Lucas for a steam boiler privilege in
the saw mill at the corner of Marais and
st. Ferdinand street, on Dec 6, 1892
The indictment against Clarke was for
receiving a bride from W. B. Vardell,
clerk of the National Rice Mill Engine
Company, Sept. r. 1892, for favoring an
ordinance giving the company permission
to lay pipe from its mills TO the river.
Mayer had been indicted before, but this
is the first Indictment against Clarke He
is the representative of the Ninth ward.

deck tenement, 144 Forsyth street,

varnish in the hallway on the third
floor yesterday afternoon. In his excite

and down the stairway.
During the fire which followed. the
twenty-odd families IN the house were
thrown into the widest sort of panic,
but all managed to get out by means of
the fire escapes.
The fourth floor was Quilted and the
fifth story badly damaged. The loss will

An old woman, stiffened with rheuma-

could not be taken down the fire escapes,
SO the tiremen closed her apartments
tightly until the building had been de-
luged with water. Then she was carried
