HORSE BREEDING.

Start in your horse breeding enter

Rural World. The dams are the foun-

are, the higher will 6e\ the quality Of
the progeny. The day of the plug has
passed. There is nothing more for him
to do. The street cars are now moved
by electricity, instead of by scrub
horses. The scrubs vocation is gone,
and those who breed him will regret
they have done so. But the demand
for horses of size, quality and action is
still with US. There are not enough in
the market to fill the wants of buyers.
They should be supplied by breeders.
There is a charm about agricultureit
one is successful. The man who would
bring up his sons to a fondness for sg.
ricultural pursuits, should make it an
espe cial aim to present to them the
successful side of the profession. There
is much to learn and admire.

When a farmer feeds a pig beyond

It is said that very stubborn cases of
neuralgia may often be made to yield
by applying a hot water bag to the
part and inducing perspiration by the
internal administration of hot water,
keeping the patient at the same time

It is not easy to ~underdrain the barn
yard. In most ase so rich is the soil
in fertilizing matter that much of the
fertility will soak into the underdraip,
no matter how Diet ply it may be put.
There it will develop a fungous growth
that will completely stop the drain and
make it Of no value whatever. Y When
this once happens We know no way to
clean the drain go as to prevent new
growth of fungus from appearing in it.
The best way to care for a muddy barn
yard is to have it small and bed it
heavily with straw.

Tt does not cost much in time nor
trouble to keep a farm free from weeds
if it is gone at systematically. When
they get full possession of a single field
the owner will lose more there than it
would have cost him to have cleaned
the whole farm.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1897-06-01

A little shrewd management is often
better than years labor. We should
study the soil we cultivate. Let us
always endeavor to plant that which
the soil will produce best without rob
bling it of all it's strength and fertility.
It takes brains to farm right.

The most forsaken.looking part Of
the farm is often the garden. This
should not be the case, for a well-kept
garden will make a greater return for
the labor put On it than any other part
of the farm. Every farmer should
take pride in having a good garden.

Report That She Has 0btaine1 the
Panama Canal Concession.

New York, Sept. "a despatch to the
World from Washington says:
The Worlds special cable advioes from
Colon to the effect that the franchise
heretofore held by a French Company for
the construction of ship canal across
tho Isthmus of Panama has been trans
fered to the government of Great BritiaG,
has created "a sensation here.
Officials and those closely interested in
the Nicaraguan canal project frankly
admit that, If this transference has
already been made. it will eifectually pre-
vent the United States from controlling
tho proposed great inter-oceanic water
way and render the building OF the
Nicaraguan canal useless.
At the same time it is not generally
believed here that the concession held by
the French company has been transferred
to the government of Great Britain. lt
is considered possible than an English
company has purchased the rights OF the
French company and may continue the
work now in progress, but that the Brit
ish government has assumed control OF
the project ia DoU credited.
Tho concession originally granted hy

construction of the Panama Canal To con.
meet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to
De Lesseps and his syndicate of French
capitalists subsequently passed into the
hands of another French company.
Notwithstanding all the sea ndals and
difficulties connected with the work. much
hendway has recently been made. A

lit is difficult Co tell what the liabili-

is even more difficult at this time to give
any idea of the assets OF the firm. What
ever they are they consist mainly of cash
in bank, outstanding account and securi-
ties.
1.-THE cause OF the firms failure was
owing 60 the fact that it was on tho
wrong side of the market. 1t was short

sharp rise in sugar especially crippled it.
There is some prospects of a resumption
of business, provided roasonab settle
