RANGE HORSES.

A Disposition to Utiiixe a Higher Grade
 of Stallions
 Advices of the most fiattering variety are being received from the range coun- try of the far west, says The Horseman. From Wyoming. Colorado and Montana, we learn of range owners purchasing the stock in great numbers, and of course the intention Is to breed these mares to eastern bred horses This means that the demand for light stsl- lions will be much better next spring than 1t has been for number of years
 and our breeders will be corresponding ly happy. The bulk of the mares now on the ranges will of surety be bred next season to stallions of trotting blood. the advance in value of the ordi- nary 900 to l, 900 pound horse produced by such matings having once more put the range breeding business on a re- munerative basis. This advance has been caused primarily by the expansion of the national commerce and by the appearance of the United States govern ment in the market as buyer of caval- " remounts The ordinary trotting bred driver is the horse that has been most largely chosen for cavalry purposes and indeed of all our horses seems to be

 best suited for the uses of our army. A larger horse, with the same blood and bone would be more desirable, but it is hard to get such animals indeed large enough numbers are not to be had. hence in the interests of uniformity the smaller sorts have been altogether se- lected
 This Is the class of horse which, bar ring farm workers and plugs of all de- scriptions, Is the last to feel the effeote of advancing prices Naturally the sup ply Is the most generous, and hitherto the demand has been the most slack Consequently, when VIC consider that even for this variety prices have so far advanced beyond the paying point as to induce breeders to begin to stock up with great numbers of brood mares. we can only admit that the business is once more in healthy condition. It Is held by some that the competition of the range owners of the far west is not to be feared by the breeders residing in the middle west and more northerly portions of the south. This is hardly in ucCOruAuc6 Wlbn In6 lACtS Ill sO Iur ds the best ranges of Wyoming. Colorado and Montana arc concerned. but 1t is true when the ordinary product of the western ranch Is concerned However. no matter how much or how little this competition amounts to, the fact re- mains that the lessons of the past few years have been taken we'll to heart by the owners of ranches, and hereafter, when they purchase stallions of any breed. they will insiss on getting better individuals than those with which they were satisfied ten or dozen years ago This means that for some years to come the breeders who have we'll grown. good sized. shapely stallions to dispose of. with ample substance. good action and plenty of good blood. will be enabled to obtain for them prices far in advance of those they have been asking for some time pest Altogether the prospect for the sale of we'll bred young stallions of all the light breeds, and especially trot- ters. is very bright

Parliament of Beasts.


 Once upon a time there was in nat ural amphitheater of the forest a con- veption of animals, and gorilla from western Africa came in with his club and pounded "Orderw Then he sat down in a chair of twisted forest root. The delegation of birds came in and took their position in the galleries of the hills and the tree tops And dele gation of reptiles came in. and they took their position in the pit of the val ley. And the tiers of rocks were ooou- pied by the delegation of intermediate animals, and there was a great aquari. um, and canal leading into 1t, through which came the monsters of the deep to join the great convention. And on one table of rock there were four or five primal germs under a glass case, and in a cup on another table of rock there was a quantity of protoplasm. Then this gorilla of the African forest with his club pounded again, "Order, order p' and then he cried out: "Oh, you great throne of beasts and birds and reptiles and insects, have called you together to propose that we move up into the human race and be beasts no longer. Too long already have we been hunted and caged and harnessed. We shall stand 1t no longer" At that speech the whole convention broke out into roars of enthusiasm like as though there were many menageries being fed by their keepers, and 1t did seem as if the whole convention would march right up and take possession of the earth and the human race.

THE EMBARGO ON FRUIT.
The Subject Discussed at Meeting
of the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA number
of topics were discussed at to-days
Cabinet meeting. but perhaps that of
the most interest was the dispensation
of Federal patronage in the Southern
States where the Republican party has
no Representatives in Congress. 1t is
probable that several important ap
pointments will be made in the South
soon, though the President has not yet
absolutely and finally determined on
them.
The Attorney-Gener made known to
the Cabinet the negotiations now going
on as to the foreclosure and sale Of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad, and it was
decided that the outlook was very IA
yorable for the Government interests.
The decree of the German Govern
ment relative TO American fruit was
talked over, and figures We're produced
to show the great Importance of the
trade put in jeopardy by this sudden
and unprecedented action on the part
OF Germany. The modification of the
decree made known by the latest ad
vices from Ambassador White has
taken as an evidence that the matter
/ is still subject to diplomatic adjust
ment.
Secretary Wilson stated, in the
course of the discussion over Ger
many's action. that it was undoubtedly
true that certain well-l1nown fruit dis
eases had been carried in the fruit it.
self. and that it was possible for the
infection to be carried to healthful
trees at a great distance. 1t was ex-
planned that certain States of the Tn
ion in times past had prohibited the
bringing within their borders of partic-
ular kinds of fruit from infected sec
tions in other States. The action Of
Prussia, therefore. might be entirely
proper and clearly within the right.
Neither the President nor any Of the
members of the Cabinet were disturbed
by the incident. or disposed to pre-
Judge the case in the absence of def
mite information. Secretary Wilson I'M
derstooti. he said. that the total ex-
portatinos of fruits to Germany dur
ing the last year had amounted to only
about 81 .00O, 900. but during the last
five or six years American fruit had
grown in favor quite rapidly III that
country. and the indications had been
that. within the next few years, the ex
portations would have aggregated sew
eral millions of dollars.
ambassador Whites report will be
awaited with interest, and should it
appear that Prussia's action was
prompted by a spirit of retaliation for
