RAISING OF HORSES.

Prospect for the Future NOE ~ Gloomy ~
Many Have Supposed
The price of horses has OF late been
SO reduced that farmers arc dicouraged
In horse raising. The low prices now
prevailing are due TO want of demand
on account of the electric car system,
which has been 30 generally established
throughout the cities and some parts
of the country for rapid transporta-
tom This is, no doubt, In some part
the cause of the weak demand for
horses in the markets. There is, how
ever, another cause, which will be
found in overproduction. A few years
ago the horse craze, as IL may be called,
prevailed among farmers, and there
was scarcely anyone who was not breed
ing either first-class roadsters or
blooded drivers.
For these, for few years, first-class
prices were obtained, and the demand,
which was at the time fictitious one,
produced a sort of boom in horsefiesh,
with IN oversupply, and now there are
too many horses for the market, which
hos for the time been somewhat dimin-
ished by the elecric car lines.
But good horses are always desirable,
and will in the near future bring better
prices than now. Farmers will under
stand what they need, and for awhile,
perhaps, the supply will be short Of
the demand, but the price will again
settle to fair compensation for the
trouble and risk in raising good
horses. Good family horses will al
ways be in demand in the cities and in
the prosperous villages. Cars may
carry men to business, and women to
their shopping, but there is demand,
in hours not spent In business, for
carriage horse to supply the need felt
by every well-to-do family that they
may have restful airing in the parks
and In the suburbs of the city. Farm
ers would do well to turn their atten-
ton to raising horses to supply this
want. Horses should be raised of the
best blood, not for the turf, but for the
carriage, and as much care should be
taken in their training for this purpose,
as is necessary to produce good condi-
toned, quiet, trusty horses suited to
driving through all the hustle and
noises of the city.
This will require time and care in
the trainer, but such horses will always
have good sale, and can be profitably
raised.
Give us good family horses and the
demand will be sufficient to pay the
producer good profit.-Farm News.

Scrupulously dainty housekeepers are

Some of the newest ribbons are woven

Chinchilla will be one of the most

fact has already raised the price of it
considerably. Some women prefer
ehinchilla to all other fur, because, as

Bran is not fattening food, we would

Corn is the food for fattening lambs,
though they should have some oats and
bran for the maintenance of healthy

Experiments In feeding lambs on

LIGHTS IN BARNS.
Precautions to BE Taken to Prevent Ru-
inous CONGREGATIONS

Precautions to BE Taken to Prevent Ru-
inous Confagrations-
1t Is time just now to take another
lesson, which is in regard to the lights
used in barns, and especially in regard
to the smoking of pipes In the buildings.
The contents of the barn are of the most
combustible character, anda very small
and invisible spark will smolder for
hours and break into flames that by this
lapse OF time will be unquenchable.
Then the farmer, apparently prosper
Gus. but careless and uninsured, may
be reduced to poverty In few hours.
II may be that the act Of smoking In
the barn may be held, and properly so,
we think. such an act of carelessness
of the most reckless kind, that the in
surfing companies will refuse to make
good the losses, which will then have
to be borne by the thoughtless owner.
The use of lights, too, should be con-
sidered In this regard. The use of kero-
sene Is too risky for the farm buildings,
for the mere dropping Of lantern may
cause an explosion that cannot be pre-
vented from firing the buildings. The
old-fashioned oil, sperm or lard. or even
the common olive or cottonseed oils,
are safe in this respect, and no others
should be used about the barns and sta
bles. The lanterns should be hung into
q safe place within screen of wire
gauze, with a half-inch or an inch mesh,
so that nothing may strike the swing
ing lantern; the use of matches in the
building should be carefully avoided.
The light should be prepared in q safe
place in the house, or in toolshed,
where all risk is avoided.-Colman's
Rural World.
