A HINT TO HoRsE-BREEDERs.

Throughout all the depressions in the
horse market three classes of horses
have brought remunerative prices
handsome and speedy roadsters, big,
shapely coachers and rotund high
steppers. Breeders of these classes have
not had to seek buyers. Purchasers
have done the seeking. Agents of for
eign horse-dealers and Eastern buyers
have been watching closely the market
at Chicago, and even securing the
country to find the best horses OF these
sorts. Meanwhile, common horses have
gone a-begging. Noting the recent ship
ment East by New York dealer of
fast roadsters, coachers and hackney
built horses, local market paper thus
states the case: while common horses
are slow and sluggish everywhere, this
dealer was compelled to pay from $500
to $500 per head for all of his recent
purchases here 1t is more than a
thrice-told tale. Every market report
contains an echo of 1t. The men who
have been smart enough to learn what
the market demands and slSillful
enough to breed the right kind have
had little occasion for complaint of
prlces.-Breeders' Gazette

SAFE BARB-WIRE FENCE.

Plough a furrow on the line of the
fence and let it lie. Plough another
and throw IL upon and beyond the first
one with a shovel. Now plough back
and forth in the ditch, shoveling the
earth upon the bank until the slope
from the top of the ridge to the bot
tom of the ditch is some three feet
long. If good fiat stones are at hand,
smooth off the top of the bank and lay
a course or two, making a single wall
a foot, say. in height. Drive the posts
through the bank so the wire will be
in line with it, and put on the wire.
Stock will see this kind of fence much
easier than where smooth ground runs
up TO and under and beyond IL, and

RAISING PIGS.

Begin with stock of good constitution,
ana then let your care of the animals
be such as to insure health and vigor.
1t has been q serious fault of our breed
erS who have grown stock for ship
ment, that they have considered 1t
necessary to overfeed with corn to get
their stock into what they call ship
ping order and much of the stock has
been made fat enough for the butcher
and permanently injured While the
food of the young breeding stock should
be liberal and nutritious, ii should not
be heating and fat-producing, and
should consist largely of such food as
builds up bone and muscle, rather lhau
rat; and II l was sending to Ilese pro-
fessional breeders for pigs, | would get
them at eight and ten weeks old, and
then l would know that they had not
been injured by stuiting with corn, and
1 could raise them on food that would
give right development. 1 think it of
great Importance that the pair of ami
mails that you start with, and from
which the herd is to be reared, should
be of healthy stock, and +! ; .Itly reared.
Let the feed of your breeding stock,
during the growing period, consist
largely of bran. oil-meal and house
Stops, with as much green food as they
will eat, and while they do not need TO
range over the farm, they ought not
to be confined to a pen or house, but
should have small grass lot to run
in. l would never breed a sow to far
row before she was a year old, and
think that she should rear but one lit
ter during her second year; but after
that, with good care, she will raise two
litters a year, until from five to eight
years old. L consider mature sows
much superior to young ones for moth
ers, as they produce larger pigs, and, 1
believe, those with better constitutions,
and give more milk and so deValon
them better; and / see little difference
in the profit of a spring and fall litter,
and as five sows will produce with two
litters a year as many pigs as ten sows
will produce with one, the cost is ma
terially reduced.-Practical Farmer.

Consolidation, the Tendency of the
Age,

The influence of consolidation Is ev-
erywhere the same; the absorption OF
small States; the creation of large ones;
the Capitalization OF power in the
hands of few; the uniiication of peo-
pie of kindred race and similar lam
guage; and, in this country, vast ac-
cession to the power of the Federal
Government. Wise men may difter as
to whether the liberties of the people
can better be preserved in large States
or in small ones. History doubtless,
favors the latter; but the historical re-
publics had neither steam nor electrici-
ty, nor the general diffusion of educa-
tion and intelligence they have brought
in their train. In producing the evil
If 1t be an evil-they have also fur
nished the antidote. The nineteenth
century has given birth to large States,
but at the same time has curtailed the
privileges of the great, has expanded
the area of freedom, and entrenched
the people in their natural rights But
these Speculations are of little value.
The large States are upon us and over
shadow us. They have come to stay,
and, for better or for worse, the world
must adapt itself to their conditions.
The consolidating influence is not less
manifest in matters of internal econo-
my, and Is as potent in business as in
politics In fact, 1t may be said to have
reVolutionized the whole system of pro-
duction. Where transportation is slow
and expensive, each State becomes a
manufacturing community of its own;
where it is cheap, local manufacturers
and dealers are driven to the wall by
the competition of the great producers,
who manufacture only where it can
be done at best advantage. The results
are large enterprises, only rendered
possible by combinations of capital
great corporations, monopolizing the
production of all the comforts and
many of the necessaries of life-im-
mense farms and pastures, flooding
meats and grain, curtailing the rents
of the landlords and depressing the
value of their lands-the crushing oHt
of small producers, and the centraliz-
ing of production where labor AID ma

How To Make Hay.

The conversion of heavy mass of
alfalfa into a choice quality of hay is
an operation, says B. Il. Shuart In Arid
America, calling for no small degree of
skill and experience. But the process
is one to be learned by intelligent OBJ
serVation and practice, rather than
from a written description. The first
and second crops of each season need
to be cured with special care, or they
will certainly mold in the stack. Be
ginners need to beware on this point.
The knack to be acquired is that of
curing the hay sufficiently to insure its
keeping sweet in the stack without be-
coming 80 dry as to shed it's leaves in
handling. This cannot possibly be ac-
complished by curing fully in the
swath. A method much practiced Is
to rake the alfalfa while quite green
into windrows, where 1t Is allowed to
cure somewhat more, and finally to
make it into moderate-sized cocks, in
which 1t Is allowed to stand until ready
for the stack. This process makes very
nice hay, but where a large acreage is
to be taken care of 1t is too slow and
expensive. Alfalfa may be cured with
entire success in the windrow, but it is
important, when cured in this way,
that there be ample facilities for put
ting 1t into the stack very rapidly when
ready, otherwise 1t will become too dry
and much of it will be lost in the
handling, especially If it has to be car
ried from the field on wagons Alfalfa
should be cut on the first appearance
of bloom, as experiments have proved
it's nutritve ratio to be considerably
higher at that stage than later on.

Dreams and Hypnotism.

1t seemed to me that 1 had had
good illustration of how dreams are
made. There first comes to the mind
some impression-this may be a sensa-
ton from without-a sound, an odor, a
ray OF light, some position of the
dreamer, or state of his system; or per-
haps, only an idea, an impression left
on the mind by the waking thoughts,
or drtfted up from the great stream of
memories and associations that flows
ever beneath our consciousness. Given
this first impression, the mind of the
dreamer seems forced by some logical
necessity to account for IL. The inn
preston takes on form which calls
Tor some course of action, and the ac-
ton is dramatized in dream. Some
times. as in the case given, the prob
lem is simple and is solved at once.
Sometimes it is compleX-the mind cam
not, except after repeated trials, make
anything of the first impression; and
then we have those strange dreams,
where circumstances that puzzled the
dreamer are at last fully explained. OF
course the commonest dream is that
where no one impression is strong
enough to control and give unity, and
where the thoughts wander hither and
thither disconnectedly.
My half-conSciouS state during this
dream making is like some stages in
hypnotism and in insanity, where the
patient is Influenced by appearances
that he knows to be false. l went, in
Imagination, through the actions that
would have been actually performed by
hypnotic or insane patients, on the
same suggestion. They, too, often
know they are dreaming, but are under
the dominion of the dream idea, and
must act in accordance with it.-From

Crime and the Price of Bread

Professor Brentano, the well-known
Berlin authority on sociology, has pub
lished statistical comparisons between
the price of bread and the prevalence
of crime that are as instructive as
striking. In commenting on the data
furnished on this subject by Mayr OF
Bavaria, Professor Brentano says:
"The facts are so surprising that 1t
is impossible not to see that on the
average the increase of the price OF
bread by i penny in the period from
1885 to 1861 in the Bavarian territory,
in every 100000 inhabitants, increased
the number of thefts by one; while, on
the other hand, the decrease of the
price l penny decreased the number of
thefts by one"
The application of this he makes to
the whole German Empire. The follow
ing list furnishes some data illustrative
of the point in question, the price of
grain being for 1000 kilograms.
