w. H. Alleman, Cresco, Ia, Dear
Sir:-ln answer to your questions,
there is but two class of horses that
the markets demand at paying prices.
The very heavy draft, 1000 pounds
and upwards, and the heavy roadster,
154 to l69 hands high, with style and
good knee end stihe action. | have
seen drivers possessing these qualities
that could not move better than a 81
to 4 minute gait, sell for more money
than an undersized 2:3O trotter or
PAGER would bring. Animals possess
ing style, size, and big open trotting
gait bring as much money as they
ever did. Respectfully

exception of the mountainous portions
of Western New York and Western
where the telegraph re-

both sides Of the Ohio, from the Big
Sandy, the boundary between West
Virginia and Kentucky, the tributaries
are at high tide. The mountains at
the &headwaters Of the Kentucky,
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers are
delivering into these great tributaries
with great rapidity floods of melted
snow and rain and filling the lower
Ohio. All the tributaries on the left

in the mountains, and, there, too, the

is very rapid.

at Anderson, Ind, of complicated

their bodies and brains simply carried
