LEGUMINOUS PRODUCTS.
Their Value Food for Man is Set Forth in Department of
 Agriculture Bulletin.

The department of agriculture pub- hshed last year bulletin on leguni- nous food products which will bear another reference. People often read and forget; therefore good thing will bear repeating: Peas, beans, lentils, and many other legumes have been popular food crops ever since history has recorded popular customs. These plants, or some of them, grow in all climates and every country yet explored. The bulletin mentioned is intended to inform the people as to the true value of legumes as food for man. Meats, it is well known, are our most expensive foods, and if cheaper substitute can be found it will be a blessing to the poor and those who are economically inclined. The chief value of meats as a food is for the protein they cOntain-the fat can be easily replaced by butter, oil, nuts and many grain foods. Legumes are especially rich in protein. A large portion of the human family must of necessity eat less for the qualification of the palate than to sustain health and strength. Therefore legumes may be made to take the place of meat, wholly or in part, without det- riment and with many actual benefits. The following is an extract from this bulletin:
 'The green or immature pea and bean are among our most valuable green vegetables, and fully deserve the place they now hold on our bill of fare. The value of the dried pea, bean and lentil is such that one or more representatives are found in every country as a staple food, and they have been thus used from the earliest times. They are especially rich in protein, the nitrogenous constituent which forms the chief nutrient of meat, and are thus fitted to take the place of the meat in any dietary. Since in comparison with their value, their price is low, they must be con- sidered among vegetable foods as next in importance to bread. As con- pared with cereals, the legumes are CD less completely digested if eaten i'll considerable quantities; (2) it is improbable that they can be made in- to any form of palatable bread, and (3) their flavor is less generally liked, and on that account will not be made regular daily food, except by people who are forced to it by necessity. In view of their low cost and high nutri- tive value, however, they may prof. ltably be used to greater extent than at present.
 "Care in the preparation of legumes is very important, both as regards their digestibility and their fiavor."

DEMAND FOR GOOD HORSES.
Present Conditions are PropitiOus for Breeders of DrauSht and
 Saddle Horses.

The excessive drain upon the sup ply of horses for military purposes in the last few years has practically depleted this country's number of good horses, and there exists to-day an actual shortage which can not be made good for several years. The de- mand has been chiefly for heavy horses-those suitable for cavalry and for dragging heavy provision trains. Horses that would answer the require ments for these purposes have been shipped to South Africa, Manila and Europe in great quantities. It has been impossible to meet all require ments because of the lack of suit able animals. The demand now is for heavy draft horses, good animals for horseback riding, and even for road sters. Breeding and rearing of any of these must t-rn good profits to the farmer or owner. Horsefesh in the last few years seems to have recov- cred from the low depression it reached few years ago. Then the animals reached the lowest stage of demoralization possible, but the losses sustained by owners of horses then were not wholly an evil. There was some good that came out of it. Not
 the least of these was the cleaning out of all the poor and inferior anil malls that had been accumula ting in
 the country. Years before the de- pression prices for horses had been so good that DaODle Daid eYOrbita nt

HERE AND THERE.

Sheep des troy weeds and foster grasses, ergo, foster sheep.
 A horse man of note has ex- pressed the opinion that the short hay crop merely corresponds with a short horse crop. Wars are harder on horses than men.
 Sheep are timid animals and should be carefully and kindly hand- led. To an average sheep a fright is as injurious as a blow, and protract- ed mal-treatment as injurious as scab or grubs.
 An investigation of the Texas rice crop by an agent of the department of agriculture, has determined that the crop will be about one-fourth the usual yield per acre.
 Mules are preferred for farm work because they require less feed are less liable to disease, hardier ev- cry way, and will do more work than horses twenty per cent. heavier. They are more reliable and have fewer vices.
 For the ten months ending April 30, 1901, 70,601 horses and ~, ,463 mules were exported from the United States to foreign countries. The year before more mules, but not so many horses, were exported. War is mainly respon- sible for this heavy business inA mest can horses and muleS
Newport weekly independent., 1901-08-16

Breeders found that they could sell almost anything they raised, and in a few years the country was flooded with poor horses. The depression in prices cleaned out these inferior ani- malls. Some were shot, others froze to death on the western prairies, and some were shipped away. Only the man with good horses decided that he would not sacrifice his stock, and he clung to his favorite animhes.
 Now the country is actually depict ed of good horses, and there never was a better time to breed. The type of animals that is needed should be an incentive to every owner of good horse flesh to raise some for market. Poor horses will never again pay in this country. If the present boom continues it will never include the inferior animals which a few years ago found market. If one can not raise animals suitable to do their work we'll in the world, it will be bet ter to abandon the business entirely. The farmer with fair intelligence who has good stock to begin with never had a better chance to make money from raising good horses, and the time to begin is when the supply is low and the country depleted of stock.-E.
