UNDER the German tariff England is
becoming prosperous at our exp nse.
The Financial News, published in Lon
don comments sditorially On the i'm
provement as follows: The great
prosperity OF the wool trades has, fortu-
nately more than Offset the retrogression
in cotton, though that reflection brings
small consolation to Lancashire. The
total gain for the nine months under
yarns and textiles is SIG, 1881 and as
the value of WOODEN tissues taken by the
United States has been about $4,750,0O0
greater than in 1894, no further search
for the origin Of the improvement in
the trade returns need be made. The
lowering OF the American tariff has been
our salvation, and it cannot be said that
We have shown much reciprocity; for,
instead Of taking the increased value OF
our shipments across the Atlantic in
KIND, we seem to have bought less
American produce. 1t 10 needless to 60

Shosh0ne counties the largest and finest
body OF timber in the United States.

tire has swept over large part Of it and
destroyed vast numbers of the very val.
nable giant pines Of that region. 1t is
shame, but not any more 30, for the
prosperity and welfare Of the country
affected, than to have an organized
syndicate OF thieves to steal 1t under a
lesa!ized principle OF their own. Co :

Spokane during the fruit fair, that their
city was built from Idaho logs and
stone stolen from this state, which IL

northwest. Far better than this to
have 1t gobbled up by gang Of timber

feated the northern candidate for ssna-

with bad grace for one of the identical
men who worked with the treachorous

come up and cry about the north play
ing '"second fiddle."' The north didn't
want \ senator last winter, as circum
stances have amply proven. The north
made = campaign on northern man for
senator last fall, and by that means. the
republicans carried Latah county, but
the legislators elected from that county
turned traitor to the north and the sen
atorial candidate Of the north, and there

SNEEZING CUSTOMS.

"Why do we salute the sneezer?"
asked Pliny eighteen centuries ago. We
still ask the question, and one wonders
if Pliny could collect so many ingenious
replies as the ana of the nineteenth CEN
fury furnish.
In Cations 1883 edition of 1.-THE Gold
en- Legende' is an account of a pesti-
lence in Rome in the time of Gregory
the Great, from which many died sud.
denly. IN this manere. sometyme sne-
sying they deyed; so that when any
person was herd snesying anone they
that were by said to hymn, God helpe
you, or Cryst helpe; and yet endureth
the custome." AS Pope Gregory reigned
in the sixth century, PlinY's query far
antedates the explanation in the Golden
Legende."
In the Buddhist Scriptures, dating at
least $50 B. c.. it is related that Buddha,
when preaching one day to his disciples,
sneezed. Whereupon all exclaimed,
MAY the Blessed Lord liver' May the
welcome one live!" thus seriously inter.
rupting the discourse. Buddha said,
Tell me. when person sneezes, il the
bystanders say May you live,' will he
live the longer or die the sooner for it?"
Certainly not, Lord" So he forbade
them to say it. But the people took
offense because the priests did not thus
salute them and Buddha revoked his
command.
The Talmudic tradition is that the
custom dates from Jacob. Before his
time man did not die of disease, but
when his appointed time was come he
sneezed once and was dead. Jacob Pc
titioned for exemption from this law,
and his prayer was granted on condi-
tion that among all nations sneeze

AGRICULTURE.

German millet is a crop of quick
growth, and in many regions may be
sown as late as July, if ground for any
reason has been kept vacant, or when
wheat or oats have failed. 1t makes a
large amount of excellent feed, especially
for milch COWS. Should be cut early and
cured carefully. 1t is profitable crop
for the silo.
So long as farmers must be at the ex-
pense of maintaining fences, the ques.
ton as to how posts can best be made
durable will be one of interest. 1t is
affirmed that nearly 40 years ago four
oak hitching posts were set three and a
half feet in the ground, after an inch
hole had been bored few inches above
and another as far below the surface of
the ground, filled with salt and plugged
tight, and that these posts are solid to-
day. This looks possible. and is worth
trying.
We see no reason why alfalfa can not
be grown anywhere that irrigation can
be applied; the trouble is getting a foot
hold for the first season or two. After
that it will send its roots for 20 or more

HORSES.

just as the railways have increased
the use for good horses, SO will electricity
increase the demand. Thousands Of
motors require tens of thousands of
horses to haul their material and manu-
featured products, which are increasing
as the industrial interests develop and
prosperity resumes its olden reign.
Recent statistics show, especially in
European countries. that the number of
horses used in cities and towns increases
every year in more rapid proportion
than the population of the same, and is
owing, no doubt, to the greater number
of public conveyances and the traffic
steam and electricity bring.
The horse has way Of showing his
appreciation of kind treatment. Greater
amends have been made in the cities,
where the cruel neck rein is going out
of use, and where drinking fountain sare
everywhere established. AS yet the
farmer, from whom we should expect
the most, is tagging in this regard. Too
often we see horses left to the elements
| all the winter.
Millions of money have been spent in
developing the fast trotter, and the
world has not been benefited a whit
thereby. Many of our young men have
been ruined by taste acquired for
gambling on the race track. Utility.
size, beauty and good disposition are
more desirable and more valuable; and
| yet we call ourselves nation of practi-
cal people.
| To be horse breeder one must have
natural ability; but there must also be
long. careful study and training. No
department of agriculture requires more
perfect knowledge to make it success,
| and it is tor this reason that the average
farmer who never makes any profits from
| it should turn his hand to something
else, and give this art over to men who
are competent.
A horse is more valuable when he is
eight or ten years of age and has learned
to be good horse with good sense;
then the next 10 years of his life he is
pleasure and benefit. 1t is probable
that as we get to raising better horses
we will take better care of them, and get
out of them all they are worth.
A locality will soon get its horse repu.
tation. There are some places where
high class horses have been bred, and
buyers soon learn where the best horses
are to be found. and better prices are
obtained from the competition of buyers.
1t is helpful to any community to have
established good horse market.
1t is our boast that in agriculture and
in meat we can feed the world; yes, and
we can horse the world when we raise
the kind of horses the civilized world
wants. 1t might be the part of wisdom
to kill off our millions of scrubs and sell
their hides and hoofs, and enter the field
with better prospect. The industrial
requirements of modern civilization are
able horses for the team, the coach, the
lumber wagon and the army.
