ROAD AND COACH HORSES.

A thoroughly practical man who has
handled road and coach horses, says
the following sensible things in the In
diana Farmer on breaking and hand
ling them so as to make them desirable:
"a coach horse should be broken to
drive when three years old, and if he
is made to do a little light work on the
farm during seed time and harvest he
will be none the worse for it. He should
be properly bisted and made TO carry
his head in good style, and although
be should be worked sufficiently to
make him thoroughly gentle and accus-
toned to the sights Of town.
There are special breaking bits for
giving colts a mouth" and before
Harvesting them it ig a very good plan
to drive them around with lines for a
week or two, getting them thoroughly
accustomed to what you require of
them before putting the harness on.
Then I would advise driving them a
day or two with the harness on before
hitching. This may seem to some of
you an old, fashioned and useless sys,
tenn, but 1 can assure you that when a
colt is broken in this manner he is
broken for good.
Il may say that in all my experience
| have scarcely ever had a colt act
mean. and by using the breaking bits
already spoken of you always have
them under control. What is called a
dumb jockey is a very useful article in
helping a horse carry his head right,
and by adjusting the bride rein you
can make him carry it just as you
want it. What do Eastern men do
when they buy coach horses out here?
They go to work and bit and rebreak
them. generally using a dumb Jockey
to attain the desired result. An easv
way to attain your object is to put this
arrangement onto a horse and turn

LIVE STOCK.
U SHEEP NOTES.

Study your farm conditions and
learn exactly what sheep will thrive
best upon it. If you are not able to
purchase even a small flock of pure.
bred or high graded sheep, then put all
you can advantageously in a pure-bred
ram and after that do the beet you can
in buying ewes. Start right, even if
upon a small scale.
An experience of over 20 yea, S in fat
tening sheep convinces me, says a
writer, that it pays to have a regular
system, to be followed as nearly as pos
STOLE in both feeding and marketing.
First, I believe that one who is near
large cities can get the most profit from
fat lambs from two to three months
old, If he gets them to market early in
the season. The next most profitable
age is from six months to one year old,
and three will always be market for
ripe sheep of mature age.-Farmers'
Voice.

We hope that Congressman who are

proposition that will give additional
value to the greenback by giving it a

NAPOLEON AND HORSES

Referring to the present revival If
interests in Napoleon, the New York
Tribune says, but little attention has
been paid to his love for horses. A
study of this side of his nature would
revealsome interesting facts. In Egypt,
Napoleon ordered the capture of every
horse ridden by the Marmelukes where
capture was possible. Nearly every
horse taken was shipped to France as
many of them were of the Arab type,
One Of the ships on which some of the
horses were shipped was wrecked in

SOUND" AND NO N

The catch-penny cry of ''sourd"
money is becoming to be understood by
the people. It is all sound and no
sense. The only ''soundness" that
money has or can have lies in the fact
that it is redeemable in the thousand
and one articles and commoditiG S that
people need, use and produce every
day of their lives. There would be no
need whatever for money if it did not
enable people to change their property
and produce for other articles and com
modities that they prize.
Money is not a measure Of valC--
for a mental operation c AnnOt be NEE"

of value. 1t stands no5 for gold, silver
or paper, but for the things in which

The people should think Of these facts.
They are not c)mpllsated. but they are
vital. They go to the bottom OF the
whole money question.
Shall we have fair prices, or shall we
have low prices? Snail we have pros
perity, or shall we have a continuation
of the poverty that the South bias been
getting a bigger and bigger taste of
ever since the characterization OF silver
in 1873?
The sound" money men are making
a great hurrah over the rise in cotton
on the expectation of a crop that will
not meet the worlds demand for con
sumption. But the Question arises,
will a better price for a short crop put
any more money in circulation than
the big crop of laet year at phenome-
na!lg low prices? That is a matter to
be considered. For if we get no more
money for our growing crop than we
received for that which has just been
marketed, we SHALL have no better bus
ines and no more prosperity in the
South than we have had during the
past two years.
