Saddle Horses.

The first requisite to be considered
in a saddle horse, says the Southern
Cultivator, is the quality of being sure
footed; the second, that Of a kind dis
position, coupled with good mouth;
third, courage and ambition; fourth,
the conformation of a weight carrier;
fifth, gait and manners.
No stumbling horse should ever be
mounted. Almost every person who
has seen a horse knows the meaning
of kind disposition to a certain eX
tent, and no one can possibly appre-
ciate it more than a rider. The saddle
horse by all means should have level
head and no one thing has tendency
to produce this more than a good
mouth. When drawing in the rains on
start, there should be a perceptible
yielding of the lower jaw, followed
by steady pressure, willingly given
in such a way that the rider may at all
times "feel" the horses mouth, and the
absence Of a desire to pull or lug should
be marked. The mouth is many times
the root of all evil, and the thought of
it's influence upon horses disposition
should never leave the riders mind.
By courage is meant spirit, pluck and
endurance; desire to go just as fast as
the rider may wish, and no faster, and
this without encouragement from whip
or spurs; the ability to do this is pos
sessed by all educated saddlers, as they
learn to know their riders silent signal.
To carry weight horse must possess
a strong, level back. He must be
closely coupled, legs we'll muscled, OBJ
lique shoulders, the hind quarter heavy,
with tail set on well up. A horse with
a good back rarely exceeds one inch
higher at the withers than at the quar-
terS

Don't Raise Too Much Wheat.

A short wheat crop in the old world
and in Argentine has pushed the price
steadily upward in our markets, thus
augmenting by millions the cash re-
ceipts Of farmers from this crop. Last
week engagements for export at the
seabOard aggregated 100000 bushels
in one day, and the total for the week
exceeded 100000 bushels. There has
been no such buying for export since
1891, and the foreign situation has be-
come the important factor in the mar
ket. The September and December
futures closed the month of July just
10 cents higher than at the opening.
All this is pleasant news for the wheat
grower and will doubtless stimulate
the setting aside of an increased acre
age in this cereal. The farmer should
have a care. We have more than once
suggested that if this country had no
competitor as the provisiOner Of the
world an OverprOductiOn in any line
would be an impossibility. Farmers
should not too quickly forget the low
range of values for wheat when pro-
ductiOn in Argentine, India and cOnti-
mental Europe was at it's normal.
Wheat was then fed to hogs in this
country. The present bulge is due
simply to shortage in the worlds
stocks. A season Of normal produc-
tlon would send prices sliding down
ward again. Farming operations
should be based on the results of nor
NAL conditions rather than abnormal.
1t is easy enough to raise too much
wheat in this country.-Breeder's Ga

the addition of bran. AS the time ar
rives for the desired service, half a
teaspoonful of any good preparation of
acid phosphate, as a stimulant, may be
given with sure success. This Is a very
active excitant of the nervous system,
and is especially useful in this way,
bringing both ewes and ram into the
condition for breeding. One or two
grains of cantharides, or the equiva-
lent of the tincture of it, given to the
ewes, will quickly forward them and
bring them into the desired condition.
For January lambs the coupling must
be made in July, and once this habit
is started, the ewes will naturally fall
into it afterwards"

About Dipping Sheep.

The stock yards people at Chicago
dipped some of their sheep that were
to be exported, using an infusion Of
cigar stubs and tobacco strippings for
the purpose. It is reported that the
dipping injured the health of the sheep
A recent shipment Of 1000 head ar
rived in Liverpool in such poor condi-
tion that the importers at once wrote
to the shipper in Chicago that they
wanted no more tobacco saturations
billed to them as fatlings Of the flocks
Of America. and unless he could send
them sheep whose nerves and tissues
were not shattered and ruined by mic
Otine indulgences all future deals were
Off Other importers wrote letters of
like import and the market was seri-
ously affected
There is no sense in this kind of
dipping. Any practical sheep breeder
can give the stock yards men pointers

The Horse.

Society owes to the horse debt of
gratitude thousand times greater
than it does to thousands of men who
abuse him. He has ministered to prog
ress; has made social intercourse DOS
sible when otherwise 1t would have
been slow and occasional, or altogether
impossible; he has virtually extended
the strength Of man, augmented his
speed, doubled his time, decreased his
burdens, and, becoming his slave, has
relieved him from drudgery and made
him free. For loves sake, for the sake
of social life, for eminent moral rea-
sons, the horse needs to be bred,
trained and cared for with scrupulous
care. The teaching of men how to do
it has been left too long to men who
look upon the horse as an instrument
Of gambling or Of mere physical pleas

gestive organs can have. Whole wheat
will be eaten when the chicks are ten
days or two weeks old, and should
always form a part Of their ration.
1t is especially valuable to make them
feather quickly, the grain containing
just the kind of material necessary for
feather production.
Bees that lack stores for winter
should be fed in autumn, and the
month of September is the proper time
to do it. They should be fed while
it is warm, so that they can seal over
their stores. The best winter food for
them is thoroughly sealed honey Of the
best class, and for feeding, the best
granulated sugar should be used. It
is a mistake to undertake to feed bees
during the winter.

FARGO, N. D., April THE situation
here is appalling. While the Red river
rose only three inches during the night,
the big coalee west of the city took
a second squirt and went up IA
inches, flooding the enti;N west side
of the town and driving hundreds Of
people from their homes. The water
reaches down to Eighth from Six.
teenth street, and as far south of the
Northern Pacific tracks as the eye can
reach. 1t is a popular residence district
and the effect of the flood is forcibly
felt. All that part of the city south of
Front street is inundated, six blocks Of
Eighth street paving having gone out,
and the food from the west side of
town is so high that the paving N
West Front street is going out rapidly.
Sidewalks are all afloat and are being
used as RATS upon which families are
moving to dry land.
For the last four hours the river has
risen only an inch and is practically at
a standstill now. All along Front
street water is within a few inches Of
the floors of the principal business
houses and a rise of another FOOT would
practically put the entire city af1oat.

The chance for q senatorial election

the direction of Evans, but Hunter
does not want to withdraw, does not

ably never consent for his withdrawal.
That he does not intend to leave here

Gaeek King and ment Denounced

LONDON. April Z. THE Athens cor.
respondent of The Times y lit is
evident that the popular impotence is
increasing. Voices are heard in vari-
u quarters denouncing the king and
the government and demanding an
immediate declaration of war. This
revival Of bellicose excitement is
largely due to the expectation that the
anniversary of Grecian independence
will witness the Inauguration Of q
great national crusade against Turkey.
The government journals publish ar
ticles enjoining patience, self-control
and obedience to the authorities but
these warnings seem to have very little
effect upon the excitable populace
which has set its heart upon wal and
will not be baked in its desire. The
seeds Of discomfort has been sown
broadcast by the enemies of the gov.
eminent who are spreading the rumor
that a h~umiliating surrender is con.
templated. Even the king, who left
nothing undone to show his sympathy
with the popular feeling. has not es-
capped malignant animadversion. The
daily arrivals of bands of Greek volun-
teers from every part of the world adds
fuel to the flames of popular enthu-
siasm. Many of them are wholly with.
out training, for the lack of which
their undisciplined ardor proves a poor
compensation. In their eyes the an
nexation of Crete is a far less impor-
tant matter han the conquest of Mace.
