DR.. STEEL'S MISTAKE.

Rev. Dr. S. A. Steel, of the Methodist
Church, In letter to the Christian Advo-
cate, of this city, says he IS disguised
with the amount Of space given by the
secular papers to the illness and death
OF Pope Leo XIII. He thinks the atten-
ton paid to the death Of one Pope and
the election of another was out Of pro-
portion to the Importance of the events.
That shows that DR., steel Is not
newspaper man. Tho newspapers Of the
United States are not Roman Catholic
papero or Methodist or Baptist or Pres
byterian or Eplscopallan. They are news
papers,, and they deal with events, not
always according to their Importance,
perhaps. but certainly according to the
interest that people take in them. The
newspapers devoted much space to the
death OF one Pope and to the election OF
his successor. because their readers oil
all denominations and Of all classes were
Intensely Interested The newspapers
were not exploiting the Pope or the Ro.
man Catholic Church, but were printing
the" news, and we tell DR.. Steel, as ar
office secret. that the newspapers give
most prominence to the item of the day
which seems to them most interesting tt
the masses. whether that item DO the
death OF q Pope, or yacht race or wha
not.

RnfsinE Draft HOrsea.

The draft horse is the horse for the
farmer to raise. Only the heaviest and
best stations are suitable. Even then
the demand for extreme weights neces-
states the use of large mares that are
good mixers. In no other way caD
colts be produced with sufficient bone
and feeding quality to attain the size
and finish demanded by the markets.
The young animals must be supplied
with the best of feed in large amounts
from the very first. All this, as Pro
fessor Davenport points out in an Illi-
nois experiment station bulletin, is
much like growing beef, and the draft
horses are the ones to produce on the
farms. They can be grown nowhere
else to advantage, and when it is re-
membered that the draft horse is real
ly the highest priced standard horse on
the market it is easy enough to see
what horse the farmer should raise.
Other things being equal, the price of
a draft horse depends largely upon his
weight and ranges from $125 to $500,
with an increase of about 10 per cent
when matched in teams. Dealers in
sist that prices were never so low that
span of draft horses would not bring
5000 if they were good enough.

to Make Pail Covers.
In preparing for maple sugar and
strip making next spring the first thing
is to see that there is plenty of good
wood in the sugar house ready for use,
advises an Ohio Farmer correspondent.
If you use a wooden storage tank, see
if it needs to be frightened up. Be sure
it is well painted. See that your con-
ductors are ready for use, and If you
did not wash and scald your buckets
last spring when you finished your
sugaring now is the time to attend to
them. Don't wait till the day you need
them, for if you do you will be likely
to lose a good run of sap. Take day
and go through your woods and with
a sharp Ratchet smooth off a small
place on the tree just where you will
want to tap it. 1t saves carrying a
Ratchet when tapping.
If you have not already got covers
for your buckets, get them now. l will
give description of those we use, and
we think there is no better cover made
for the money.
