RAISING OF HORSES.
Rroapect for the Future AS Presented to
the Discouraged Farmer.


The price of horses has of late been
so reduced that farmers are dscolrr-
aged in horse raising The low prices
now prevailing are due to want of
demand on account of the electric car
system, which has been so generally
established throughout the cities and
some parts of the country for rapid
transportation. This is, no doubt, in
some part the cause of the weak de-
lnand for horses in the markets. There
is, however, another cause, which will
be found in overproduction. a few
years ago the horse craze, as it may
he called, prevailed among farmers, and
there was scarcely anyone who was not
breeding either tirst-class roadsters or
Uooded drivers.
For these, for few years, first-class
prices were obtained, and the demand,
which was at the time fictitious one,
produced sort of boom in horsehesh,
with an oversupply, and now there are
too many horses for the market, which
has for the time been somewhat dimin-
ished by the electric 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 a fair compensation for the
trouble and risk in raising good horses.
Good family horses will always be in
demand in the cities and in the prosper
Gus villages. Cars may carry men to
business, and women to their shopping,
but there is a demand, in hours not
spent in business, for a carriage horse
10 supply the need felt by every well-to-
do family that they may have a restful
airing in the parks aud in the suburbs
of the city. Farmers would do well
TO turn their attention to raising horses
to supply this want. Horses should
he 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 pro-
duce good conditioned, 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 Il good sale, and can be profitably
raised
Give us good family horses and the de-
mand will be sufficient to pay the pro-
Queer good proft.-Farm News.

What made you leave the army al sc
carly an age, with such fair record be-
hind you, and so promising a career in

whose chief defect was a proneness to
act on hot-headed impulse. The pur-
port of the reply was: AT my last in

THE SOUTH AFRICANS.
An English View of Their Changed Cor
dition.


dition.
The native tribes of South Africa are
speedily becoming amenable to civili-
zatiOn. Unlike the red Indians and
aborigines of Australia, the Kafiir does
not die out as the white man proceeds
to occupy his country; humane laws
foster the wellbeing of the native. In
Natal, especially, the increase in the
black population is marked and rapid.
This fine country, which so years ago
contained only few thousands of
miserable refugees, hiding and fleeing
from the rayages of those awful
tyrants, Dingaah and Cuaka, now con-
tains "A black population of about 500,-
COO, rejoicing under the benign rule
of the "Queen-Empress" Victoria. 1t
may be that at times the younger men,
during a beer-drinling bout, talk some
nonsensical rant about retalling the
country from the white men. These
are speedily silenced by the old men,
who will frequently bring both native
wit and oratory to bear upon the young
and impetuous braggadocios, who are
speedily silenced when told that the
great white queens ''impi" (army)
would crush any rebellion with one
tenth the ease with which the savage
Zulu nation was subdued.
The old men will tell of most awful
"reminiscences, such as: Don't we re-
member when man dare not put his
head outside his hut door, except at
the risk of being Drained by a knob
kerrie or impaled on an assegai." They
will then wax eloquent on the safety
and security of all native tribes under
British rule. The Amaswazi tribes
were and still are anxious to come
under our rule rather than that of the
Beers of the Transvaal republic; but
their desire comes too late, as the
Beers were entitled to claim treaty
with Great Britain, giving them the
right to annex Swaziand--the latter
considering she has already as many
black children on her hands as she
can find nurses and nurseries for. This
leads one to remark that the Kaffirs
are, after ALL only children, just emerg-
ing from heather darkness and super
stitions. Their doclity is wonderful;
their faith in white man, especially
an Englishman, is great, and the prog
ress of Christianity is the hope of the
nation, accompanied by all the civiliz-
ing influences of steam, electricity and
modern inyentions.-St. Louis Repub.

NOTES ON PARIS GREEN.


Paris green is the most useful and
valuable of the arsenicals used as in
sccticides. AS is well known, its action
is more rapid and effective than that OF
London purple, and having a definite
chemical composition it ought to he
subject to variation in the amount of
the active agent arsenic. Its Use as an
nsccticide has enormously extended
of late years, and upward of 1000 tons
are annually employed in the United
States, besides 400 tons in Canada. The
chief difficulty in using Paris green is
the readiness with which it settles 70
the bottom of the tank or reservoir of
the spraying apparatus. This is pc
cause it is a rather coarse powder, very
much less finely divided than London
purple, which latter fact gives the
purple certain advantage.
A recent conversation with one of tie
leading manufacturers of Paris green
has brought ont the fact that tins
coarsencss of grain and the accompany
ing difficulty in using Paris green in
water suspension is quite unnecessary.
1t seems that the market has hitherto
demanded a very dark colorcd article.
the lighter color having been deemed 10
indicate adulteration. 1t seems, how
ever, that the darker color is simply due
to the larger size of the crystals. If
the green were reduced to an impalpable
powder, which would make it much
more satisfactory as ah iusecticide, ii
would lose the intensity of its color and

Live QUESTIONS
FREELAND TRIBUNE.
IN THE

Commencing with Monday,
February 10, 1896, and continu-
ing through the year, the TRI-
BUNE proposes to publish a
series of able articles upon
subjects of vital and gene raj
interest to our readers. Emf
nent thinkers and writers of
national reputation on Social,
Economic and Industrial Prob
lens have promised contribu-
tions upon topics Of universal
interest. The list of authors,
and the comprehensive group
of olive Questions" that will
be treated by them, can be
seen on this page, and will, we
confidently believe, merit the
hearty interest of readers who
are already interested in these
themes, and are anxious to
receive the most rational opin-
ions obtainable.
All articles will be prepared
in an inquiring and scientific
. spirit, and will be non-sectional
and non-partisan. Vigor and
simplicity of statement will be
aimed at, and all phases of re-
form thought will be fairly and
impartially presented. Upon
subjects about which there is a
variety of candid opinions, all
sides will receive an equal OPP
portunity to be heard, that the
truth may, if possible, be ar
rived at.
This is the first cooperative
attempt upon the part of able
writer's to thoroughly discuss
all the interesting phases Of
social and industrial life for
the masses who would be the
beneficiaries of substantial re-
forms, and the arrangements
made by the TRIBUNE give US
the sole privilege of publishing
the articles in this town. They
can be read in no other Free
land paper, and those of our
readers who are not subscribers
should have their names placed
on the list without delay.

WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL
Fierce Struggle Between

Assures Protection to President
Kruger-Cecil Rhodes Successor.

London, Jan. 7.-Although the Brit
ish government is doing all it can to
suppress news from the Transvaal gov
ernment enough has leaked out to make
it certain that the South African re-
public is in a state of civil war and
that a great struggle is on between the
I'itlandcrs and Beers for supremacy
In numbers the Uitlanders have the
advantage but the the Boere are de
termined fighters and besides they are
the best equipped for war. The sensa-
tional dispatch announcing that Dr.
Jameson had been released by the Tit
landers has not been officially con
firmed, but as the news came from the
London consul of the Transvaal repub-
lie it is probably correct The pre-
sumption is that n rising has occurred
and that the Beers, who had the Gus
tody of Jameson and his men, have
been overwhelmed. The same dispatch
also states that the British government
is rushing troops to Cape Town. Twelve
hundred soldiers left Bombay yester-
day and more are to follow.
