Some Of the essential points to be
considered in selecting draft horse,
according to an article in American
Cultivator. are good feet and legs,
plenty of weight. we'll developed
large body and good style and action.
A draft horse without good feet is
worthless on any market; hence good
feet are the very first essential of a
draft horse, or, in fact, any class of
1orse. The hoofs should be large,
round and wide at the heel They
should have width. but not be too deep
or too shallow. The horn should be Of
good quality. as indicated by it's dense
ness. The wall must be strong and not
inclined to be fiat. The legs should be
well set under the body and possess
plenty of substance, as indicated by
the quality and amount of bone and
the development of muscle on the fore
arms and gaskins. Weight is a very
essential point. A draft horse should
weigh from 1,SOO pounds upward the
more the better, provided it is COM
bined with quality and good feet and
legs. The body should be deep, wide
and strongly coupled, as indicated by
the shOrtnesS of back and the muscing
of the loin. Good action is essential,
as indicated by the length of stride,
quickness of step and straightaway
movement. Draft horses weighing
1880 pounds and upward can be pro-
duced by breeding good draft mares,
which combine size and quality, to a
first class sire of any of the recognized
the Clyde, the Shire and the Bel
gian. Each breed has it's own peculi-
arities, perhaps advantages and disad-
vantages. Be that as it may, be sure
to select a good sire, one which
possesses individual excellence backed
up by good ancestry.
The Cheap Kind.
1t costs $75 Or 500 to raise colt
three years old, or to where he can
earn his living, anywhere east of the
range district, says Stockman and
Farmer. 1t follows, therefore, that if
there is any money to be made in rails
ing horses they must sell for more than
NtAiS uiliouIl. Lively lOISc tuul ScllS
for less than 500 at four years of age
is likely to leave his owner owing him
a board bill. There is no pleasure in
the society of an inferior animal of any
kind-there is no profit in it. Why not
take precautions to avoid it? Don't
breed the seventy-five dollar kind if it
can be avoided
Don't Let the Colt Follow.
The habit of allowing colts to follow
the mares while at work or on the road
should be discouraged This practice
has been the cause of more trouble and
annoyance than could herein be chron-
icled. Many a fine colt has been ruined
from being caught in the drag, TASK
harrow or pillow. On the other hand
not few runaways and smash ups
have been caused by the mare fretting
ON account of the colt attempting to
follow some strange team. Whenever
taking the mare to the field or to town
leave the colt in some secure place
where it can get exercise and shade.
and the comfort attending such prac-
tice will always be appreciated when
once tried.-Twentieth Century Farmer.

Experiments In Feeding Horses.
In a bulletin detailing the results OBJ
tanned from a series of experiments in
feeding horses, the North Carolina sta
ton draws the following conclusions:
Bronze hay gave as good results when
fed to work horses as timothy hay.
Dat straw was satisfactory for feed
ing horses which did light work and
for those which We're idle One fourth
more grain was required to support
horses doing light work when they
were fed straw
Barley was not equal to oats in feed
ing value per pound. but was nearly as
good. Mules did not relish barley.
Corn fed in connection with oats in
the proportion of 100 pounds of corn
TO 125 pounds of oats had greater
value than oats; 77.5 pounds of corn
squaled 100 pounds of oats when fed
10 work horses.
Whole wheat fed alone was an unsat-
isfactOry feed for horses. When ground
and mixed with bran in the proportion
of two parts of wheat to one part of
bran by weight. it gave good results.
Bran and shorts mixed in equal parts
by weight was equal to oats in feeding
value.

Carrols annual summary of church membership (which is the bcstknown compilation) puts the gain at ] per cent for 1902, as against than per cent. in population.
 CD The increase in value of church property is, however, greater than the increase of membership. This is in part accounted for by the natural rise of real estate values But the churches at least libcrally mantaned they ever were Witness the great Methodist "Twentieth Century" funds so gently completed.
 (3) There has been no such falling, off of church membership or of church attendance as was expected a decade or two ago when there came so general change from the orthodox forms of faith very much more liberal creeds. The pew has accepted liberal opinions very much more rapidly than the pulpit but this change of opinion has not cnpted the pews
 l4) What has happened is that many church. gocrs have somewhat changed their for going to church. Fewer go for reasons of personal saliva tion; but more go from force of habit for social sons and especially because they wish to be identi- fled with the church great organization for prac tcal helpfulness. Humanitarianism has grown more than ccclesiasticism, and the churches receive the benefit of the greater helpful impulse
 The Protestant churches therefore, exert a very different sort of influence from that which they cXcrted a generation two ago; but it is great in huence vet, and it will remain great far foresee. But, whereas they once had the active operation in most parts of the United States of nearly all the "respecablc' people, they fall far short of that. There many who seldom or never go to church, but who yet among the conservative and uplifting members cf the community. In this sense, the churches are doubtless losing but the loss is not easily expressed in any census of attendancc.

DOES GOLD GROW?

The origin of gold is matter that has given rise to much discussion in the past. Who has not heard dozens of different theories advanced among them one to the effect that gold grows. An article in late number of a scientific magazine supports the theory
 that gold does grow, at the time giving out the warning that one must not expect to grow gold eagles from dollars It has been found says the writer of the article referred to- that gold nuggets under favor able conditions actually increase in sze
 Gold is known to have grown mine tmbers which have long been immersed in mine water. Tn the California State Mining Bureau Museum there is specimen of piece of ointed cap and post taken from the Comstock. where it had been under water for years in which gold has formed ill the joints and pores of the wood. Gold is constantly being formed in rocks and veins and pacers. Just what it is that the baby gold formation feeds to effect its growth is not known; if it were, and wonderfully lucra tive industry might be born and all other kinds of farming the growing of gold, might be tempora rly abandoned. The -.formaton and growth due to mechanical and chemical action. As in the case of the animal vegetable, existing gold has ised in other state before assuming it present form. Waters which percoate through the earth's crust are said to contain substances from which gold is formed. Thus gold like the animal and vegetable must have water in order to thrive. The gold in the water is deposited when it the proper precipi- tant. The preciptant may be earth current of electricity, some vegetable growth chemical in the rocks. It has been claimed that the nuggets found iii pacers the formations from the waters that percoate through the graves and not from de- composed quartz as generally supposed Those who so contend cite the fact that in the centre of nuggets can be often found a small grain of iron sand This was the nucleus around which the earth current of electricity created deposited in electroplating. During long ages this influence at work causing the gold to form around the little grain of iron ore and then grow to become a bright, shining nugget of gold much larger and purer than ever found in the veins of ore'

ALASKA FOR ALASkANS.'

hessian newspaper published in Nome but owned principally in Seattle, few days ago made weak plea in support of the carpet bag system-that is the system of appointing men to official place in Alaska from any portion of the republic. The plea weak one, because words could make it strong There be no legitimate defense made of such a nefarious practice. For hundred years more it has received the severest condemnation of men of all parties. We do not believe the president of the United States will defend it, although he may follow it as matter of cxpediency.
 There is not a territory of the union that has not had "heart scald" of federal carpet baggers There is not territorial political platform, made within fifty years more, that did not anathematize the system, and demand redress. Both republicans and democrats have joined in its denunciation and have demanded that federal appointments in the territory should be made from the terri tory. And with justice. Eventually the right of the people to have appointments made from among themselves triumphed and the change was a most welcome one. Alaska has the right to demand that hereafter when federal appointments to be made that they shall be made from among the actual residents of the territory. Is there not good material to be found here as is to be found among the broken down political hacks and professional place seekers of any of the states of the union? We think so Should 'political pull" be sufficient to put notoriously incompetent, weak, vacllating or dishonest man in position of power, to the excu- sion of men who know the country and it's conditions, and who neither weak, incompetent dshon- est? Shall Alaska continue to be the dumping ground for all the "cast-off clothing of the body politic?" It will depend largely upon Alaskans themselves. The country has a permanent future. Its development has begun. It has a permanent population, and it is high time that the doctrine Alaska for Alaskans" be preached and practised.
 If federal officials appointed from bona fde residents of Alaska (and there is excellent material to fill all ofiices) dare to say that official brawls and scandals which have dsgraced Alaska almost since its purchase, will be reduced to minimum. The offices will then be filled by to the manner born and the day of the misft and the in competent will have forever passed.

ARE CHURCHES LOSING GROUND?

Arnews association in New York City several months ago counted the persons who went to church several successive Sundays of fair wsaher and it's example has been followed in many towns and cities But these counts have not, rule, been accepted fairly accurate, either by the churchmen by the critics of the churches. Many small churches it is said, overlooked by the takers, and visit counted regular attendants-these and many other criticisms made. Nor is the inter- pTetation of these counts uniform. To some minds they show very satisfactory attendance indeed while to ohers in truth, they show progressive de- cline.
 So it always is and so it always will be. livery effort to measure the condition of the churches in concrete terms ends in controversy, and few definite facts are made clear. Yet few large tendencies are practically and reasonably uncertain, says The Worlds Work,
