some discussion. If so, the object Of this

Indirectly, the Herald admits, by its

worth. because the motive Of the combi.
nation is founded on hatred hatred by
the legislative members because he fav.
ored the prohibition law, hatred by the
Herald because he would not support its

the best breed Of horses for the farmers
Of Pembina county to buy or raiser The
answers to said question would be var
led, and, in most cases, would be based
on the fancy or early associations Of the
party answering, with the particular
breed Of horses with which he was ia.

A great many Of us arr natives Of On
tario, Canada, where Clyde and English
Shire horses were almost universally
raised for heavy work, and are certainly
worthy Of the high esteem in which they
are held, which always commanded a
good price in the markets of Canada or
the United States, especially so, if OF suf-
6cient weight to,enter the class of heavy
draft horses. The medium weight Of
horses, showing definite strains OF Clyde
or. Shire, are, as a rule. good horses and
are well suited for farm work in that
country; but inithis county, or in any
part Of the Red River Valley, horses with
SO much hair on their legs, as have the
Clydes and Shires, are decidedly object
ionable.
At certain seasons Of The year we have
9 surplus of fmoisture, assa rule, and ow.

shells on top of the target, their whist
ling flight being clearly visible.
The target was constructed so as to
represent the height of free board that
would be presented by a vessel at the
extreme range of the little guns, some
thing in the region of 5000 yards. The
space given over to observation, as COW
cred by the field of the glasses, was
equal to that or 500 feet in length, by
forty feet in breadth. The glasses of
the observers failed to find very few
of the shots. Three were lost to Lieut.
Behr. who was stationed at a decided
angle to the line of fire, and thus had
TO catch the shot as it dropped into the
sea or it would be lost
The shells were propelled by a charge
of ten ounces of powder and the ele-
walton given the pieces We're between
sixteen degrees. thirty minutes and fif-
teen degrees, the latter being the ele-
walton at which the best results were
obtained, the wind having risen in the
meantime. The allowance for the cross

But finally shortly before 10 o'clock
Lieut.. Jones found everything ready,
and fred the first shot from gun No.
2, the one located to the east.
A solid shot, with deck piercing nose
was used, and forced through the air
by ten ounces of Dupont smokeless
powder, it flew, always visible straight
to the mark, falling as the pyramid of
canvas swung about, some little dis
lance to the right, as observed, but so
close that it threw the spray over the
floating timbers.
A few moments waiting and again
with hoarse rasping sort of breath

result was the same and the shell flew
wide of the mark. Once in swing the
practice was kept up merrily until
firing of the schrapnel. These shells,

range.
The success of the practice may re-

Preparations had been made for some
time past by the officers in command
at Camp Mckinley, for this yearly tar
get practice, which is now a. prescrib-

tillery even in stations more remote
than Honolulu. To afford the officers
and men of the resident garrison

large guns, the Department of Califor-
