Selling Horses.

To sell horse to the best advantage
is not an easy thing to do. How often
we hear Of some horse being sold for
moderate price, soon to be- sold at
larger figure and then again at another
advance over the second price. The first
thing when one has a good horse Of any
class to sell, should be to have him in
the best form possible for his kind. Fat
is the selling quality on the draft breed.
Nearly anyone can fatten horse by
giving plenty of such grain as you may
have, and sufficient exercise for health.
Right here, it must be remembered that
an animal taking on fat requires an ex-
cess of water, and should have all he
desires Of pure lukewarm water.
No one can afford to sell a good animal
out Of condition either in regard to
health or flesh. II on dry feed, some
laxative food should be given, cay a
small srmful Of grass or green corn fod-
der, being careful not to give enough to
take the appetite from the hay. Should
green food not be obtainable, feed Of
bran put in a tight pail in the morning,
boiling water poured over it, then covered
tight to keep the heat in till noon, when
it should be fed in place of the regular
feed. Feed this bran three times week.
In place of the bran, hsxseed meal may
be given-a half pint three times week,
in addition to regular feed.
Salt should be put in place where the
horse can help himself, and not placed
in his feed where he will be forced to
eat all at one time, and do without at all
other times.
Should the animal for sale be road
ster or saddler, fat is not such neces-
sity. II in good condition, they are
really Of more value than when fat
There is no quality of 80 much value in
either of these animals as education.
Two horses equal in all other respects
when offered for sale will be found to
bring very different prices. The better
the one is educated over the other, the
greater will be the difference in price.
Horses Of this class need plenty Of grain,
lots of exercise, very little rough feed,
and if the owner does not thoroughly
understand them, he by all means
should put them in the hands of one
who does. Few breeders understand
gaiting saddle horse, but 70 sell for q
good price he must be we'll educated by
someone who understands this branch
of the business. Many a good horse
sells cheap because his owner does not
make up his mind to sell until the last
moment, and then has no time to pre-
pare the horse to show his good quail
ties, and the horse is sold just the same
as if he did not possess them.-ROGdSter

who would vote with the Republicans
or stay at home very conservative.
"AgRin, if we deduct the Democratic
vote OF Iowa and California from their
aggregate vote in the fifteen Western
States it leaves them but 1S2,327 for the
other thirteen Western States, which
they must have in order TO elect a
President, and States which they can
not get without cooperating with the
Populists. 1t is absolutely certain that
the Democratic party cannot, without
cooperating with the Populists and
silver Republicans, secure q single
Elector in any of these fifteen Western
States. This would confine the Demo-
cratic party In the coming campaign
exclusively to the fourteen Southern
States. Nowhere else can it look for
Electors. According to the election
returns Of 1894 and 1895, the Democratic
party is the second party in Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West
Virginia, and with the loss of the gold
standard element in the Democratic
party and without the support Of the
Populists these States will give their
Electors to the Republicans.
THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.
"Agsin, the refusal Of the gold wing
to support the Democratic party in
Texas, Georgia, Alabama and North
Carolina will give the Electors of these
States to the Populists.
"Thus the Democratic party, on q
silver platform, and without the assist
ance Of the Populists and silver Re-
publicans, cannot depend on the Electors
Of more than five States, namely Arksn-
sas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Caro-
lima and Florida. That is they have
thirty.eight Electors upon which they
can count with some degree Of certainty,
while the Peoples party and the silver
Republicans, by combining, can depend
on the Electors Of seventeen States,
namely, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Alabama,
Georgia and North CsrolinR-lll Elec-
tors.
HOW TELLER COULD WIN,
"If the Democrats at Chicago should
indorse Teller as their candidate for
President he will receive the support Of
thousands and tens Of thousands Of the
silver Republicans in Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia
and other Southern States, who will not
support Mr.. Bland or any straight
Democrat.
"This is the situation that confronts
the Democratic party. IL it declares
for silver, l6 to l, and goes into the COM
ing campaign without the cooperation
Of the Populists and silver Republicans
Of the South and West, that party will
be the third in the race at the polls
next November, while the Peoples party
will be the strong second and the Re
publican the first. The question now
remains whether the Democratic party
will do as it has repeatedly done since
1860, make the right mistake at the
right time for the benefit OF the Re-
publican party. Will it refuse to Co
operate with the Populists and silver

In 1848 the British ship Daedalus, Capt.
McQuahae. encountered sea serpent
which was distinctly seen by many of
the passengers and afterwards described
by them with much care. The captain
and passengers of the ship Silas Rich
ards reported encountering a monster
on June Z. 1926, in latitude Al and longi
tude 81, and described the serpent as
of a brownish color and seventy feet
long.
Three Maine fishermen, "all reliable
and God-fearing men," sailed far out to
sea one summers day in 1888 and came
across sea serpent basking near the
surface. Two of the fishermen were so
badly scared that they went below, leav-
ing the third, a Mr.. Gooch. to face the
intruder. Mr.. Gooch is authority for
the statement that the boat passed
within fifty feet of the serpent and that
he had good view of 1t. It raised its
head and looked at Mr.. Gooch and then
dived down out of sight.
There were many kinds Of sea SER
pents In that year. The steamship Con-
necticut reached port several days over
due, and explained the delay by saying
that much time had been consumed in
