Chicago. July 9.-The leading futures
ranged as follows
The Colfax chronicle., 1901-01-19

Harsh bits are intended to undo the
mischief already done by some Dung-
ling, unthinking, unfeeling and care
less handler, but as a rule they gem
orally make bad matters worse. In
the education of the colt, the bit
should be of the simplest, plainest
kind. A straight bar bit, neither too
long nor too short for the mouth
SO arranged that the bit is placed
properly and neither hangs too far.
down, or is drawn up too tightly in
the mouth. Some horses handle the
joint bit better in the mouth than the
straight one, as it gives more room
for tongue. When the horse contracts
the habit of putting his tongue over
the bit, straight bit with a plate or
spoon Oh it should be used. Many
hard-mouthed horses, which have be-
come inveterate pullers, may be cured
and dri.en safely by the use of q
large rubber-covered bit, which can
be reduced in size after a time. A
very large covered bit prevents a
horse from taking it between his
teeth and bolting.-Farmers' Home
Journal.

Sheep thrive best in pasture
where moles are numerous. The mole
holes serve to drain the land.

Pigeons are not polygamous like
chickens, that is, one male will not
answer for a number of hens, Dut each
hen demands mate, and when once
rightly mated they are true till death.
Anything that will bring farmers
into closer social intercourse is worth
far more than it costs. Good country
roads and rural mail delivery will help
vastly to accomplish this desired end.
The dairy industry of the United
States represents an investment of
more than $1,000, ,0O0, 900. If we knew
the proportion of this amount that
should be apportioned to the south-
west, perhaps we would name it-and
perhaps we wouldn't.

GOOD AND BAD TIMES.
or Not Things are Coming
the Farmers' Way.

The Irishman read the signs of the
times correctly when, in answer to a
pertinent query, he replied: when
two men be afther the boss for the
same job, that't hard times and; when
two bosses be after one wan man,
that's good times" The same will
apply as well to the farmer who has
products for sale as to the hod-car-
rier. When the farmer goes out to
hunt buyer of his products he places
himself at disadvantage at once. But
when the buyer hunts the farmer for
the purpose of buying his produce, the

for sale at the packery. The other
holds his hogs until the packery wants
them badly enough to send q buyer
out to purchase hogs, and the buyer
calls upon him. Now, if you think one
will get as good bargain as the 9TH
er, you are considerably mistaken.
The first farmer has his hogs at the
packery on a side-track, and he will
lose less money by selling for just
what is offered, than by taking them
back home.
The packer is not ignorant of these
facts, and will not throw away an OPP
portunity to drive good bargain.
Therefore, he offers $3.25, when the
market justifies $3.50 per hundred
pounds. And the farmer has no alter
native but loss; therefore, he takes
the course that involves the least loss.
Truck farmers have also learned the
same lesson for which they have paid
literally in cash or it's equivalent. The
same truth applies to business gener-
ally. When the buyer hunts the seller,
prices are good; when the seller hunts
the buyer, prices are always down.
But when the seller, in addition to
hunting purchaser, has to beg him
to buy, then he knows what is meant
by hard times.-Texas Farm and

That There IL a Serious Prob.
lem Ahead of Them.

Black labor in the so.lth is increas-
ing SO slowly, according TO the state
Irent of southern planter, that il
will soon be impossible to pick the
Crof. of cotton which the cotton states
are now producing. The planter re-
ferred to is one of the Alexander
hrothers, five of whom hail from
North Carolina, and who now have
more than five thousand acres in Ar
kansas, apout all of which has been
producing the great southern staple.
Mr.. Alexander says that this will hold
the now Increasing average IN check.
the mills now being increased ali
through the south will consume the
product, and these two facts induce
him to predict better prices and a

..1t.ion. He cites the wonderful
growth of the cotton Dull industry
within radius of 100 miles of Char
lotte, N. C.
Mr.. Alexander says that in very
short time, according to his observa-
tions, which have been extended,
there will not be sufficient pickers to
gather the crop. The cotton laborer
is the black man and members of his
family, and the increase of this char
acter of population is nowhere near
what it was in former years. The
number of children born to each man
and wife is smaller and growing small
er each year. There is not enough la
Dor in the south at this time to pick
$4,000, 900 bales, and the production is
lowering near that figure. A short
time ago something over IL, 10000
bales were raised, but some of it rot
ted in the field; there were not enough
hands to pick it. A great deal of the
white labor, which in years back gath
cred bottom, is going to the towns,
and the acreage has been growing
faster than the labor to harvest the
crop.
