THE HORSE FAMINE.

Harper's Weekly.


We are horse poor-not as some people
are land poor, because they have too much
land-but horse poor because we haven't
enough horses. Our neighbor, the Scien-
inc american, mas been complaining aDout
1t. After the civil war We found ourselves
snort OF horses of the bigger types. and
began importing them for breeding pur-
poses. We imported them TO good purpose
ana In very large numbers, and greatly
improved the quality of our stock. When
electricity began TO haul street cars the
market for the commoner kinds OF horses
fell OF, and farmers didn't breed so many.
When the automobiles began to appear and
were heralded as machines that must super
seoe the use OF carriage horses, the breed
ers OF the better class OF horses took fright
For years after 90, too, thousands of people
who wanted horses could not afford TO have
them. But with the return of prosperity
the demand for good horses began 10 grow
again, ana breeders bred more OF them.
BUT IL takes about five years TO raise a
morse that Is fit for the market and the
breeders got behind. The demand has out
run the supply; the price of good horses
stalnons are said TO be worth nearly ten
times what they were ten years ago. The
south African war took a great number
ol norses out OF the country. includlns
many worthless ones. but the business OF
morse breeding has revived so much that
we snail soon have again a reasonably

port horses from Europe for breeding pur-
poses, and from Canada for use. but OF late
we nave exported far more than We have
imported. and we are likely TO keep on 90

Dairy Commissioner Mcdonald is
now busily engaged in preparing his
biennial report to the Governor. He
is sending out blanks to all creameries
and cheese factories and dairies to be
filled in and returned to him. This
report represents a great deal of care
full work, and when compiled will con-
tain valuable information relative to
the dairy industry of the state.

1t is stated by an authority that has
been giving some attention to the
question of the Post Check Currency
that if business men and business or
CARNATIONS urge the passage of legis-
lation to provide it the action of Con-
gress can be secured at the next ses-
sion. That being the case there should
be a general call for that action.
The Post Check Currency means
simply the printing of circulating
notes in such form that the holder en-
dorsing a note in his possession can
convert it into draft payable only to
the person named in the endorsement.
This will do away with the loss of
time, annoyance and expense of a
journey to secure a money order every
time that the sending of small remit
lance is necessary. The saving to the
public will immensely outweigh the
slight increase in cost to the govern
ment, and the loss of revenues from
money orders. There should be a
strong representation to cogress in
favor of the bill. Citizens should re-
quest their representatives in congress
to see that more convenient money is
furnished the people.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

ID
ton Agricultural College.
In the last number of The Ranch
my eye fell upon the title "The Dark
Side to the Farmers Life" There is
a dark side to the farmers life, as
there is to any life, perhaps, though
we do not hear so much of it in these
prosperous times. But there arose In
my mind contrasting picture OF The
Bright Side of Farmers Life,' as
saw it illustrated in one happy home
last summer. 1t was small farm In
one of the fertile and pleasant valleys
of Western Washington where for one
night | was a guest. The good, hard,
gravel roadway ran along the edge OF
the valley and on one side of it was
the house and houseyard, on the other
side lay the farmyard and the broad,
level farm itself. 1t was good, whole
some, comfortable farm house, and
within it the simple furnishings, the
magazines, the books, the musical in
struments-everythin showed good
taste and love of home. Best of all
two sturdy sons, and three daughters
blooming into young womanhood,
blessed a father and mother who were
evidently happy in their possession. l
watched the boys at their work car
ing for the fine dairy herd, or carrying
pals of the warm, fOaming milk from
the separator to the pig trough, and
they did not seem to think it drudgery,
but did the work with that alertness
and dispatch which showed their deep
interest in it. l watched the young
women as they separated the cream
and cleaned the separator and they
did it as gracefully and with as much
apparent pleasure as an hour or two
later they presided at the piano. In
the dewey evening, I took a delightful
walk with the owner through the barn.
yard and across the broad meadow.
We stopped and chatted about the
stock and his plans for their manage
ment. He told me of his newly con-
structed silo. We crossed the sweet
scented hay field, just cut, to see the
field of roots beyond. The wheat was
in shock and the delightful OdOr swept
up to us on the evening wind. We
heard the lazy tinkling of cow-bell
from an adjoining pasture. The sound
of joyous laughter flOated across the
meadow from the farmhouse. 1t was a
beautiful scene, filling the senses with
pleasure. AS we wandered back
through the meadow, while the even
ing shadows were falling about us, the
happy owner of this beautiful farm
told me the history of it's development
out of the primeval wilderness into its
present order, and productiveness. He
was deeply interested in his work and
happy in it and in the healthy, happy
family who with him were engaged in
that never-ending but ever delightful
task of creating a beautiful home. 1t
was the bright side of the farmers
life which 1 saw there. With intel
ligence and virtue 1 do not see why it
should not in our land be the custom
airy life Certainly it was in strong
contrast to the intense struggle, the
harsh rivalry and petty ambitions to
outshine ones neighbors in display
of wealth which SO often makes city
life a burden.

1t is a rule of The Ranch, in COM
mon with all other reputable journals,
that no communication will be pub
lished unless signature of the writer is
attached. usually, anyone who sends
an unsigned communication to a paper
has not the fortitude to make his as
sertions openly. Almost always such
letters are attacks and abusive of some
person or concern, against whom the
writer has a real or imaginary griev-
anCe, and he seeks to strike blow
from the dark. He is coward OF the
most cringing type. We have no re-
spect for a man who cannot fight his
battles openly and aboveboard. All of
which is Introductory to communi-
cation received by us, and in order to
give space for publication of same, we
break our rule for this once. Here it
follows:

stand-in, and perhaps you belong to church
and wear a cloak. Quite a number are max

we will, upon receipt of information,

on. And sign your name!

1t is reported from various markets
that the effect of the recent legisla-
ton regarding oleomargarine and pro-
cess butter has been to greatly curtail
the sale of both. Process butter men
declare that the effect has been dis
astrous on their business, especially on
the exportable surplus of this butter.
We think the great mass of dairymen
will not find much fault with this re-
suit. While the maker of poor butter
may not so readily sell it as formerly,
the maker of good butter will not find
process butter taking his trade away
by means of an article that masquer-
AIDES as fresh-made creamery butter.
The present law merely prevents fraud
and should have the support of every
honest man.
