own. This account has been adjusted at
the proper department. and the question
Is, IL the State shall be paid in arms or in
money. The State is willing to receive
payment at $l2 a stand, and this can be
made without costing the Government a
dollar, by merely keeping the arms in lieu

Sailing Good Brood Mares.

The good brood mare Is worth more
to the farmer that can breed her than
she is to the city man that expects to
wear her out in the service Of some
city establishment In other words the
broodmare of proper type and free
from blemishes is worth more money
than she will sell for, unless the sale
be made to some breeder that can az
ford to pay more than the professional
horse buyers. Farmers have been max
ing the mistake of selling of their best
mares instead of holding on to them.
They say that the buyers would only
take the best, 50 they had to sell them
or nothing. But the buyers had to
have horses and If the farmers had
everywhere refused to sell their best
breeding stock the buyers would have
been compelled to take the second best.
The farmers would thus today be in
shape to breed from first-class stock
and raise horses such as the market
demands. ~
But we do not believe that all farm
ers have sold off their best stock,
though large number have done so.
A considerable portion have held onto
their mares that were of good size.

 One of the most important captures of the battle was a mass of documents from the archives of Madrid, including a great part of Nap5leon's secret core spondence-an invaluable addition to history.
 Napier's summing up of the results of the battle reads:
