Future of the Saddle Horse.

Good walking horses are in great re-
quest, and some fancy figures are be-
ing realized. Like all other kinds of
horse flesh, the saddle horse has been
neglected, resulting in a scarcity of
good walking horses. There is a bright
future for the breeder of high-class
saddlers. Men in all kinds of avoca-
tons that require a lot CT cross
try riding want saddle horses, for the
running walk is the only gait that is
just fast enough and at the same time
easy on horse and rider-a gait that
can be kept up all day, covering many
miles, and the rider still feel rested
rather than tired out. The farmer,
stockman and trader find no better
mounts when riding in quest of stock,
seeing to business on the farm, driv-
ing stock, and in many other such
places where the buggy is not handy.
The doctor finds the horse that can
fact, the country doctor regards him as
a necessity. All kinds of agents make
better time with a saddle horse, and
visit homes hat could not d reached
with a buggy handy. Men OF leisure
are very pround Of their saddle horses,
and spend much of their time on the
road. Old gentlemen find an early
morning ride on a good horse the best
of tonics. No better mounts car be
found for women than the amblers. for

Artificial incubation is the greatest
aid of all to successful and profitable
poultry-keeping, whether the object be
to raise chickens for the market, or to
get out early chickens in order to have
early layers in the fall and winter fol-

Sir Thomas Upton, who proved a
failure as a cup litter" is going to

AT the Arkansas experiment sta

All tools, whether costly or other

POWERFUL NARCOTIC.
The British Soldiers in South Africa
Chewed COrdite to Produce VII
client IntOxicatiOn.

During the South African campaign
the British soldiers discovered a new
and extraordinary form of intoXication.
The ingenious privates found that they
could get all the excitement of a pow
erful narcotic by eating a cordite
charge of cartridges, each of which
contains 60 strands of cordite and is
very similar in appearance to vermi-
celli.
The British Medical Journal gives
particulars of this form of intoxica-
ton. 1t says that Major Jennings, on
learning that the men had been eating
cordite, made experiments himself.
On sucking a strand he found it sweet,
pleasant and pungent, but it resulted
in a headache which lasted for SO
hours. Dissolved in tea, it produces
almost immediate exhilaration, "incit-
ing almost demoniacal %actions,' fol-
lowed by a heavy stupor of from five
to II hours, according to quantity
taken. Added to beer it produces the
worst effects, exciting a quarrelsome
and destructive mania and producing
the most rapid intoXication.

Why Sell Young Stock:

Have you considered whether it is to
your interest to sell the calves, colts or
pigs at present prices or to keep them
to get the profit of the stockman-to
utilize the pastures, grain fields, and
odds and ends that would be lost, and
that can be made to enrich the farmer?
Would it not be better to feed that
feed to stock, both of which you have
beer in the habit of selling unfed and
it's, and to the building up of the fer
tility of his land instead of your own?
The calves might sell for from ten dol
lars to fifteen dollars at weaving time.
One year later they should weigh at
least seven hundred and fifty pounds,
which, at four cents, is $50. Now, to
make this weight very little grain is
required, just make use of the odd
pastures, the extra grazing of the corn
and small grain fields in the Summer
and autumn, then the rye and wheat in
winter and early spring; also the fod-
der and straw that was previously vast
ed. These little odds and ends, if used,
add to your bank account. Colts
horse or mule-sell we'll at weaving
time, yet there is better money in
keeping, breaking and making, desir-
able work stock. Match them well, take
extra pains in breaking, rub them up
until you have a fancy team, then you
can ask and should have a fancy price.
Who knows into what class colts will
develop? Pigs may be easily and cheap
ly kept, until the feeding period, on
very little corn, by using Stops, CLEAN
ing the small grain after harvest and
p~asturing clover. And so all along the
line. Make your farm a factory of some
