Raise Good Horses.

Probably never in the history OF horse
breeding in America have FARMERS eA-
rloited the industry SO vigorously or SO
in%telligentiy. The crossroads stations
of cheap quality have been eliminated
from the problem, n only the best DO
nestle bred or imported sires are being
patronized. Importers are buying the
tops for improving the grade OF horses
in this country, as mediocre animals
are a drug in the market. 1t costs as
much to house, feed, mature and nan
ner an inferior horse as a good one OF
its class, while the better grade VIII
outsell the inferior animal fully 500 in
the open market. Consider then the
difference of 500 per head between the
foals of a good coach or draft stallion
at marketable age would make a differ
ence in the commercial value OF an IN
ferior stallion $1,000 annually. This Is
demonstrated every day in the whole
sale markets and also realized by every
stock company that has introduced a
good stallion into any breeding district.
Consider that the farmers OF any local.
ity Who have access to the service OF
any good stallion will show a net profit
in the year of $4,000 as compared to
p%atronizing inferior sires. Good stal-
lions give immediate profit e the
services of an inferior sire, and also lay
the foundation for further improvement
in their best female progeny that are
retained for breeding purposes. AS the
breeding season is here. farmers should
p%atronize the best stations in thei To-
cality, as the commercial demand is for
better horses.

Sore Necks and Shoulders.

Writing on the above subject, DR.. A.
S. Alexander says:
when shoulders tend TO become sore
see that collar fits well, is kept clean,
always dried at noon and never al
lowed to remain on horse during meal
times. Sponge shoulders with solution
of half an ounce of fannie acid in half
gallon of water three times daily to
tougher shoulder skin. Saturated solu-
ton of alum, strong salt water, are also
useful in same way. Ii shoulders swell
and have sore spots from collar, paint
enlargement twice daily with solution
of one part of tincture of iodine to three
parts extract of witch hazel. Should
large sore or sore tardy to heal form on
shoulder, back or back of neck. keep 1T
clean. and three times daily apply the
following ointment: Iodoform, n
dram; fannie acid, two drains: lanolin
or lard, one ounce: mix. When top of
neck under collar ecomes sore, never
clip off the hair. That only leaves a
lot of stout bristles, which the collar
forces into the sore, making it worse.
Keep part clean, cut out dead skin, then
apply above ointment. Zinc pad under
collar sometimes helps in this condition.
When hard tumors form in shoulder.
treatment is to dissect them out
and afterwards treat the place as a
common wound. This also applies to
Doggy JUNIORS and large. fiat, fungus
sores on shoulders In clipping horses
never remove hair from parts on which
harness rests. as under saddle and un~
der collar, in heavy draft horses. Best
have harness At well at first than have
sores to heal afterwards"

PETULAxT SOUTH AMERICA.

1using to receive a minister from the
United States is likely to work harm
to the South American republic. II
Is a matter of complete indifference
to this country, except insofar as il
among South Americans that M
prove inimical to trade. Columbia at
tempted to stand in the path of a great
public undertaking and hold up its
principal promoter for a large sum.
She suffered the disappointment thai
should inevitably be the lot of
brigandism and is sore to the bone
over the loss. She sees Panama rich
with $40, goo, 900 and under the power
ful wing of the United States, indie
pendent and certain OF prosperity, and
h sight is more thar Columbia can
bear temporarily.
The South American republics should
know their best friend and pro-
tector. Their safety and prosperity are
dependent on the only nation in the
world that feels a responsibility to-
ware them or would raise a hand to
assist them in trouble. Venezuela and
Columbia should not forget that their
surest refuge in a time of storm is
under the lee of the great American
republic.

Many amusing remarks were made
at the doors of daguerreotype galleries
when they were first opened in this
country. a small frame containing q
dozen specimens would draw a crowd.
One man would undertake to describe
how they We're made. You look in the
machine, and the picture comes-if you
look long enough" Another would
say: cit is not so much the looking that
does it. The sun burns 1t in IL you
keep still" Another made it all very
plain by stating, THE plate is a look
ing glass, and when you sit in front OF
it your shadow sticks on the plate"
How it came about was never
known, but the impression became
general that the sitter must not wink.
No operator of Intelligence yer told
the sitter not to wink. for the effort to
refrain would have given the eye an

duty to tell the sitter to wink as usual
that natural winking did not affect the

Another remarkable fact was that
sitters seldom acknowledged their W
likenesses. "All good but mine," was
the common decision. An aged couple
after examining their pictures came to
this conclusion, Maria, yours is per-

RACE SUICIDE EXPERTS.

The bachelor bishop of London has
fallen in line viii President Roosevelt
on the question of race suicide. Fig
ures of population show that the
British birth rate has decreased IT
per cent within twenty years. This
means a loss of 90, 900 natural in
creas annually to London alone. This
state of affairs worries the bachelor
bishop. who is insisting that England
expects every man to do his duty
while himself lodging the responsible
tiles of a family.
If there is any class that should
limit the production of children, the
English laboring class is the one. With
poverty, ignorance and even crime on
the increase in the British cities and the
growing restriction of opportunity to
earn a decent living, the English work
inginan who restrics his family to the
number he finds possible to decently
care for. is showing more sense thar
the bachelor bishop, who is urging
him to propagate children merely to
be counted in a census. The home
less, unfed and ignorant poor of Great
Britain are his evident and sufficient
excuse.
There has been too much criticism
Of the childless. and heads of small
families. Much Of this criticism has
lacked common sense and Judgment.
It is no less injudIcious to increase a
family beyond the capacity of the

SHOULD NOT SHUT IT'S EYES.

Charles Emory Smith was McKin-
ley's postmaster general. For many
years he has beer the edi or OF a pow
erful republican paper in Philadelphia
Not living in Iowa he is moi a Cunmins
man, yet he does have a clear know
ledge of republican politics II because
! of such knowledge he has no use for
the standpat platform adopted in Iowa.
He says:
The republican party must lot have
| e%auivocaI. or eyasive or hesitant
| seis at this hour. 1t must have a mind
and must know it. 1t is no time for
uncertainty or for retrosression.s
Mr. Smith can see doubtful states in
which republicanism must walk
| straight and erect to win.
Again:
THE party stands %sqiarely and
~unreservedly for the protective
principle; it will say SO iii distinct and
emphatic terms. That does not mean
that it will maintain all the existing
rates for an indefinite time and will
stand against any revision under n
circumstances. 1t has ratisad The tar
if before and viii revise it again
when conditions render II necessary or
~expedient. That is. it's position. and it
ought to say so. 1t cannot shut its
eyes or close its ears like the Iowa
platform"
1.-THE party believes in he recfproc-
ity Of Mckinley and Blaine. The new
Iowa platform is silent. There is Meth
er Justification nor wisdom in silence.
The party knows that the reasonable
reciprocity for which President
ley declared at Buffalo, is right, and its
fight for protection will be all the
stronger for saving So"
The truth is gradually sitting out
that the cumimns kind of republicans
are not so far out OF harmony with
the national leaders of h party as
the standpatters would hstv us believe.
1t was this reference to Mckinley's rec
iprocity that caused the windy Pete

speech before the convention.

week: 4 have never yet voted any
ticket in a national campaign but the
democratic, but if the democrats put
up such a man as Hearst and the re-
publicans put up Roosevelt VIII vote
for Roosevelt This is not the de-
cision of a hothead or a crank but the
cool calm resolution of a sober and
thoughtful man. His name is known
thruout Sioux unit as n of her
most sterling citizens. The party can
ill afford TO lose such men but it has
lost thousands of them in the last few
years and will lose many more this
year. Hearst does not appeal to such
men. He appeals to the floating popu-
lation-the malconfents-the visionar-
les and the officeseekers. Democracy
will be ever more of a travesty when

Healthy Season For Swine.

tCnlCdRO LIVESTOCK WOFlQ.J
Porcine health has been phenomenal
ly good for several seasons past. This
immunity from plague has been co-ex-
tensive with the dearth of corn and
may be reasonably attributed to inabil-
ity on the part of growers to surfeit
swine with that useful but under GER
tain and easily recognized condition,
dangerous diet.
Because recent generations Of swine
in the corn belt have not been afforded
the opportunity to derange their inter-
nal economy by gorging on corn, much
mortality. has, in popular opinion, been
averted. Logically this means hat the
spring pig crop of 1904 will reach ma
turity without experiencing the ravag-
es of cholera or other equally fatal
complaints. Growers will not throw IS
cent corr to growing pigs for an OBJ
vious reason and the result will be a
healthy crop.
The moral of this needs no specifica-
ton. If hog health is good when corn
is abnormally high in price why not
profit by the experience?

colored men laugh and show their
white teeth and whittier eye balls. while
they ran or and OFF the big boat with
the heavy boxes of freight.
The white men are not worth their
salt on a steamboat and all steamboat
men know it. They may talk of cut
ting the negro out and using white
men. but they know they will never do
it. The class of white men who will
hire out to carry freight on a steam
BOAT are nothing but buns and it is
three times as hard to get them to
work as a negro. The colored men
will shoot craps and sing songs and
make themselves generally in the way,
