SUCH of the American farmers az
did not lose faith in the horse as a
friend of man and an investment are
gathering the fruits of their wisdom
now. The demand for horses Is pop
ularly ssid to be due TO the English
needs in the Trsnsvasl, and that is
probably correct. Lord Roberts evid-
emily needs something, including a few
generals and mounts for his men. Bat
aside from that. the trolley, the suto-
mobile and their like have not yet sue
ceeded in alternating the affections Of
the human race from Its noblest animal
friend, and they never will. The dog
is all right; the COW and the cat have
their manifest uses; but the horse
the lower animals stands su-
preme, endowed with an Intelligence
and an affection as thorough as they
are sincere.

COTTON A SUBSTITUTE FOR SILK.

New Inventions in machinery and
progress In chemistry have opened a
new field for the use of cotton. An
article Is now produced by these im-
proved methods which so closely re-
sembles silk that 1t can scarcely be dis
tinguished from it. In the same man
ner French ssteen is now produced
from cotton. and a number of other
articles which were thought impossi Bile
before the invention of the improved
machinery and the scientific applica-
tion of chemicals.
1t Is asserted that before long such
improvements will have been made in
the m anufacture Of silk-like goods out
Of cotton that the price of silk will be
materially affected. That, however,
Is neither here nor there. The main
point is, shat owing to shese inventions
the field for the use of cotton has been
greatly enlarged, land this will secure
