THE HoRsEMAN..
The Horse Sells Largely on Looks.
Feed to Finish.s

The Horse Sells Largely on Looks.
Feed to Finish.s
BY JOHN REEVES.
Butter fat and satin smooth" would
be an excellent ideal for the man who
Is raising horse for sale. The gist of
all the teaching of those who are try
ing to advise others how to fit their
horses for market is ''haye them fat"
Of course it is presumed the horses
are essentially good ones-that is, prop
erly formed, sound and kind according
to at least the average standard in
horsefesh. Some young farmers who
have been led to raising horses by the
exceedingly tempting prices of which
so much has been heard for awhile
past now complain that, having raised
the animals. they cannot get the prices,
but are compelled to sell for much less
than they expected to receive.
The man on the farm sometimes fails
to realize that in the raising of horses
for sale he has now to compete with
the 'shorse FEEDER who is just as
genuine if not so extensive proposi-
ton as the ssbeef feeder" and the
Swine feeder" If a farmer wants to
get the nota BILE prices that are obtained
by the men who make business of
putting horses into attractive condi-
ton for market he must give his ami
mails the same exact, painstaking care
and scientific and liberal feeding that
the latter do. He should try to get ON
to the little wrinkles of management
that aid in improving the appearance
Of horse and putting finish on him.
In short, remember there is no ami
NAL that sells more upon clocks" than
a horse and act accordingly.
And, although ''fat' is called for, 1t
must be the fat that goes with strong
muscle, firm flesh and flexible skin,
and perhaps "well feshed'' would be a
better term.
If you are producing any sort of
horses for market and long prices, feed
and fit to perfection with these in
or to provide the professional finisher
with material in the rough, that is an
other story, and there may be money
In it too. On the whole, pretty nearly
everything in the horse line brings gen.
erous value nowadays, and extraordi-
nary quality means corresponding
price.

Big Carriage Horses.
AS foreign conditions have their ef-
feet on the horse industry in this coun-
try, the views Of writer in a London
paper are of some interest here. This
correspondent claims that the wealthy
jobmasters of London are unable to
let or hire anything but big carriage
horses, and in the absence of home
breds they buy them in America or on
the continent of Europe. The number
in thousands, and the checks they send
would amount to something more like
millions. He thinks breeders need have
no doubt about future markets for any
stylish, full sized carriage horses they
may be enabled to put upon the Lon
don market In advocating the produc-
ton of such full sized carriage horses
as now appear in the parks and fash
ionable streets of London he does not
crn fa hackney
which adorns the elegant victoria, but
wants the larger type to be bred in
equal numbers.

DREAM LAND.

Of all branches of Mental
Philosophy that which treats of
the phenomena of dreams has re-
ceived least general attention.
From away back in the dim past
dreams have been regarded as
manifestations of the supernat-
ural. Ignorance and her child
Superstition taught men to re-
gard dreams as communications
from the gods or from the spirits
of departed friends or mayhaps
enemies. These dreams were
sweet and pleasant when the
gods were in good humor or low
ing friends communicated with
the dreamer, or horrible night
mares when the gods were angry
with or the spirits of malicious
enemies seized upon the sleeper.

Are You Tired, Nervous
and SleepleSs l.?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are u.s.
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourlshlng blood;
they are stdrved nerves. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are PUN as smoothly, as machin-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuouS-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
good for whole lot of physical or mental
work Best of all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tOnicS and med
icines which have large, booming sale
for short time, is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinlis up the red
blood corpuScleS, and in the long run
greatly in jureS the system. One may lcci
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DR.. Pierco's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. EVery

Every ingredient entering into the

How to Feed Out SiIaqe.

Owing to the constant contact of the

necessary to remove a horizontal layer
Of silage to a depth of not less than
one and one-half inches daily to pre-
vent any from spelling If this fact
is kept in mind when building silo
its diameter can be made such as to
make possible the feeding of a layer

many persons regard dreams as
solemn admonitions, faithful pre-
monitions or diabolic temptations
to evil.
But there is no sort of dream
which may not be easily ex-l
planned by laws which govern
mental processes, or the opera
ton of the mind under given con
ditions. When the cause of a
dream is once determined the re-
manning phenomenon is easy of
explanation.
One of the peculiarities of the
mind in a dream state is that it
forms no correct, nor nearly cor
rect estimate of time. An Eng
lish gentleman gave us this Incl
dent from his own experience
He had long contemplated a tour
of portion of this country and
had carefully planned his itin-
erary. He had read much to pre-
pare himself for understanding
things he expected to see during
his travels. He finally dreamed he
crossed the Atlantic, made the
contemplated tour, and after an
absence Of six months rejoined
his friends in England when he
awoke. He had not been asleep
to exceed ten minutes.
No one ever dreams of sound
or a noise. When one dreams he
hears noise there has been a
noise and the cause of it should
be promptly sought, especially If
it be of cracking sound such as
made by burning woodwork.
We have heard soldiers relate of
dreaming they were in battle.
They saw charging troops, the
slain and wounded, bursting
shell, hurting shot and all usual
incidents of fierce fight except
ing sound. They bad not heard
so much as a a shout or pistol
shot.
It is not a proftless pursuit to
chase dreams back to their cause
for then we may avoid the cause
and, maugre the gods, lie down
to ''balmy Sleep which is by
far better than pleasant dreams.
Children often waken from
dreams all in a nervous fright.
Do not desist until you find the
cause. It may be improper food,
too much or too difficult of diges-
ton. It may be caused by i'm
proper clothing or unnatural po-
sition while sleeping or by fright
received during waking hours.
Indigestion, pickles, clam.
chowder and late dinners or sup
pers are the demons and malevo-
lent enemies that give us bad
dreams and horrid Nightmares.
"To rest with ease all night
Let your supper be light"
A good appetite, perfect di-
gestion, simple diet, a body and
mind not wearied but BEAUTIFULLY
tired by work or exercise, "a
conscience devoid of offence to-
ward God and man" a fitting
couch and benifcsnt nature viii
give us sleep upbroken by
wierd dreams. -
