The Horse stiII popular.

The horse industry is to-day in q
flourishing condition, little correspond
ing to the predictions Of some Of our
commercial prophets ten years ago.
AT that time we were told that We
were, on the eve OF horseless age.
To prove it the savants pointed to the
thousands of people that were using
bicycles. 1t was said that agents had
been placed at the entrances to the
great parks in New York and other
cities and these counted the thousands
Of wheelmen and wheelwomen that
daily passed through the parks and
reported that only now and then a
carriage or mounted horseman was
seen. That was true ten years ago in
all the great cities of the country.
But how is it to-day?
Sit down at the entrance to any of
our great city parks in the summer
time and watch the passers-by. There
will be seen a steady stream of car
riages, with only now and then a man
or woman on wheel. 1t is evident
that the wheel was only a temporary
plaything for the public, and that,
when the public grew tired of the
wheel it went back to the old friend
of mantle horse.
Within ten years there has been a
material increase in the number of
horses in the country and an increase
also in the value per head The de-
mand has been greater than the sup
ply, and with the larger use of horses
has come an increased rapidity of
their wearing out. While the wheels
were being so freely used, many of
the driving horses in the cities spent
much of their time in the barns or in
the pastures, but since the public re.
turned to the use of the horse the
work of the horse has increased, and
the consequent wear and tear Incl.
dent to service and accidents has also
increased.
The horseless vehicles that have
been introduced in the cities are but
an insignificant factor in the general
situation. Such vehicles are but the
playthings of the wealthy or are In
service in only slight degree com,
mercially. They in no sense keep pace
with the tremendous increase in popu
lation and business that our country
is witnessing. The value of horses in
the United States is placed by the
taxing bodies at more than 100000,
900, which valuation, as every man
knows, is far short OF the real, since
values for taxing purposes are never
| anywhere near the actual values. Yet
though the differentiation is consid
cradle, this item CT over one billion
dollars is an enormous one and gives
some idea of the great riches in horse
flesh possessed by the nation.
That farmers should pay more at
tention to the raising Of good horses
is evident. There is no doubt thai
the demand for horses in the future
is to be even greater than it is at the
present time and that any man thai
raises good horses of almost any kline
will be sure to realize good price!

New Meat Pressrvatixe.

A new meat curing process is re.

preserve meat In fresh condition by
injecting into the veins of the dead
animal acetic acid. The blood is first
permitted to run out and then the
acid is put in 1t permeates the flesh,
so the professor claims. and that pre-,
vents all decay and makes the use of
refrigeration unnecessary. Ii is OBJ
vious that IL this process proves to be
all that is claimed for 1t, it will revo.
utionize the meat curing industry, as
acetic acid is not an expensive pre-
sentative. The reports say that meat
so cured has been shipped from Ger
many to South African ports and was
found on arriving at its destination to
be of good quality and perfectly pre-
served. Our readers must remember
however that great things are claimed
for all new processes.

Carrying In Mexico.


Mr.. Lespinasse, the United States.
consul at Tnxpan. Mexico, in report
to the government. says: The old
methods of milking, churning. and
general manipulation of milk products
are still in existence here, thereby
rendering 1t impossible to produce
good butter. Cows are allowed to
roam over the grazing lands and are
rarely sheltered or given the least
care. The milking process is per-
formed in the most unskilled manner
conceivable. The COW is tied by the
head, and the operator proceeds to
milk the animal in his rough and UNI
systematic manner until he finally
forces a quart or two of inferior milk
from the cows udder. The milk is
placed in untidy wooden vessels and
transferred to some shed or clubhouse,
where it Is allowed to remain unpro-
.ected over night. The following
morning the cream is skinned and
either beaten with forked stick or
violently agitated in bottle until the
butter granules are formed. 1t is
then indifferently washed and offered
as butter. 1t quickly turns rancid. 1t
sells at from 80 to 40 cents per pound
Omitted States money, and is good
'neither to look at nor to taste. The
sour milk is compressed in coarse
cloth, sailed and allowed to dry for
several days. 1t is then an insipid,
spongy mass, which sells for from
to 8 cents (U. 81 a cheese. Each
Of these cheeses is round, about an
inch thick and about inches in diam
eter. They find quick sale in this
market. Such thing as the most
simple, modern dairy appliance is un,
known or at least not used.

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh OF the Stomach is Generally
Called MISUNDERSTANDING to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat OF the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

TX. U. S. Senator M. c. Butler from
H. South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms In a
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, ID. c., says:
~ can recommend Peruna for dys-
pcpsia and STOMACH trouble. 4 have
been using your medicine for short
period and 4 feel very mach relieved.
IL Is indeed n wonderful medicine be-
sides q good ionic. M c. Butler !;
The only rational way TO cure dys-|
pcpSia is toremove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more eases of dYs-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. III catarrh is located
in the head, Pcruna cures IL, liz catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures il. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures 1t, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it Is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

rested in the executive chamber of the
state house yesterday after he had
failed in an attempt to defraud Gov.
Bates out of $50 by inducing him to

legged worthless check for $25 upon
John p. Breslin, proprietor of the
Hampton house. This check was
drawn upon the Columbia National
bank at Washington and was signed
in the name Of Secretary George B.
Cortelyou. The man told MIR. Breslin
that he han an engagement with Gov.
Bates, who was going to cash draft
of $50 for him. This statement led to
his arrest as the police were waiting
for Mannix when the latter called
upon the governor. Last night Man

the Panama Territory.

the Panama Territory.
Washington, Jan. 80. - The intima-
ton conveyed in these dispatches sew
eral weeks ago that Colombia may be
compensated for her loss of territory
consequent upon the revolt of Panama
can be repeated at this time. Negotia-
lions are in progress between Colon
,bia and representatives of the new
Panama Canal company and the gov
eminent Of Panama looking to the
payment of money consideration to
Colombia. The United States is TAX
ing an important share in the negotia-
tions and doing all that is possible to
bring about the deal. It is not impos-
sible that it will be accomplished.
1t will be observed that within the
last few weeks there has been COM
plete suspension of hostile moves by
Colombia against Panama. No warlike
move has come from the isthmian re-
gion for some time. The cessation of
Colombia's belligerent preparations is
due primarily to the promptness of
this government in sending ships and
marines to the isthmus to prevent
hostilities. 1t is due also. it may be
said, to the intimation which has been
conveyed to the Colombian govern
ment informally that financial COM
pensation may be forthcoming if Co.
lombia acts with circumspection.
To put it in the words of a dis
tinguished authority: IF Colombia
is good, she may get some money. If
she fires single shot on the isthmus
she won't get cent"

that it has been communicated to M.

uncompromising terms to permit the

interests, and that M. Kurino Will be
