time to secure this class Of animals,
but they can be successfully developed
in the course of few years by more
care in selecting and breeding for
type, form and weight. A great deal
depends upon the sire. He must be
prepotent and possess all the desirable
attributes of a draft stallion The
greatest care and skill should be ex-
erclsed in selecting an animal possess
ed of the very highest quality, for at
best he is to be bred to a variety
Of mares, the lineage of which is un-
certain, and it is especially important
under these conditions that the sire
be markedly prepotent in order that
his qualities may predominant in the
offspring. The feet Of the Percheron
sires are often defective, and this is
a point that should be examined with
especial care and attention. Any ami
NAL to be valuable, must have good,
sound and we'll developed feet, and
this is much more important in an
animal intended to work on the hard,
smooth pavements of our great cities
Some will say that the development
of the draft horse business is prejudice
cial to the interest of mule growing,
and that the one business is quite as
profitable as the other. 1t is true that
there is nothing to choose SO far as
profit is concerned, if the right type
Of mule is bred, but here again many
Of our farmers are acting detrimental
to their best interests, as many Of the
mules they are now growing are I'm
dersized. We need a larger type Of
mare for their successful production
AS matter of fact, the development
Of an interest in the breeding of draft
horses of a superior type will, from
est in the breeding of better mules
No animal industry can be developed
to a state of perfection in any given
section Of the country without leaving
its impress on every kind Of interest,
and there is certainly every reason
for the encouragement Of the breed
ing of both horses and mules for sale
in and about Our Southern cities, fac
tories, mines and lumber camps, and
for export to the large cities of the
East In the beginning, it may pay
to bring in some large Western grade
mares for foundation stock. especially
in communities where this industry
has received no attention whatever in
the past. It is a comparatively new
business and must receive careful at
tention if the most profitable returns
on the investment in good community
stations are to be secured. In
number of localities good stations
have been brought in recently The
question now is, will they be used on
the right type of mares, and then
will that care md attention be given
to the offspring which the rapid
growth and development Of the draf'
tvDe of animal makes necessary. If
proper attention is given to the de-
tails of an industry which has receiv-
ed, generally speaking, but little at
tention in the past COMPARED with the
advantages it has to offer, the farm
ers living in Our limestone regions
can soon establish reputation for
the breeding of draft animals of
superior type and add considerably
to the revenues Of their farm each
year bv raising from one to four colts
annually.

Draft Horses in the South.

We have called attention to the
profit which can be made from the
business Of breeding draft horses, and
urged that our farmers try this branch
of agriculture. The following article,
written by Prof. Sonley, the Director
of the Virginia Experiment Station,
for Practical Farmer, contains valu-
able hints about the methods to be
followed
The breeding of draft horses has
not made as much progress in the
South as it should have done. This is
particularly true in sections where
limestone predominates and blue
grass thrives naturally. The excel
lence of the light horses produced in
this section is positive proof that
draft animals of superior merit could
also be raised if the right type of sire
The light horse has been such a
favorite, however, as to almost ex-
clude the consideration of any other
type Of animal until within the last
few years. This was really not sur
prising, for the old-time farmer of the
South depended almost entirely on the
mule as beast Of burden, while the
horse was used chiefly for saddle pur-
poses or for driving, and the light
horse was, of course, better suited to
this purpose than any other type of
animal.
The great demand for draft horses
during recent years has caused this
industry to look up materially, and
there is certainly an opportunity for
its development in the entire region
mentioned, with success. The rapid
increase of population in Our cities
and the growth of various industrial
concerns has opened up a market for
draft horses for dray purposes which
was comparatively restricted few
to increase for number of years to
come, for only high-class animals are
purchased for this work, and after all,
there are comparatively few Of these
bred at the present time, and the mar
ket does not seem likely to be over
stocked in the immediate future
Some have concluded that the draft
animal is not adapted for use in the
South. In the far South and in the
cotton fields this is probably true, but
throughout the Appalachian region it
IS certainly not the case, for while
the draft animal may not be needed
by the average farmer, still he may be
successfully grown in this section and
sold at good profit because the
region is contiguous to the great mar
kets of both the East and West and
buyers are occasionally passing
through this section looking for ami
mails of the draft type, even at the
present time. In certain places, like
Harrisonburg, Va, the breeding Of
draft horses has become quite we'll
established and monthly horse sales
are held there, to which many buyers
from a distance come because of the
good qualities of many Of the animals
offered for sale. This shows how
quickly merit in this class of horses
is appreciated and how easily it is to
establish market for any animal Of
merit raised on the farm. One of the
greatest drawbacks to producing a
draft animal Of suitable type at the
present time is the scarcity of mares
Of sufficient weight for breeding pur-
poses The best animal to use would
be a I,ooo-pound, or, better still, a
I,2oo-pound mare. 1t will take little

THE ISSUE.

Saloon and anti saloon. That is
the issue made by the saloon men
themselves when they succeeded in
nominating DIR. H. v. Scallon for
mayor. The Civic Improvement league
accepted the issue and placed a
closed town candidate, =. A. Varnam,
at the head Of its ticket, which forces
the issue and 50 plainly draws the line
that 1t cannot be avoided, covered up
or evaded In any manner. IL Seal
Ion 10 elected it means wide open
town with gambling and all other
evils that 90 with 1t. IL Varnam Is
elected IL means enforcement Of laws
on gambling and an observance Of
Sunday according to the state Sunday
rest law. Candidates may attepmt to
deceive the voters by claiming that
they are not radical, but every voter
knows better.
II 10 an open secret that 6callon is
the candidate Of the saloons, has been
groomed and pnhsed to the front by
them, and will receive their united
support during the campaign. They
have forced the issue rather than
being satisfied with a conservative
administration such as J. L, McCleaI
would have given.
Varnam unquestionahly represents
the radical law aud order element and
his election probably means not only
closed town, but the raising Of ga
loon licenses to an amount sufficient
to make the total 81, 00n.

Engine Accepted.

The Continental fire engine pur- chased by the city from the Mix Fire apparatus Co. of Seattle has been thoroughly tested and accepted by the council.
 The official test took place at 5 o'clock and the engine surprised every one. when five pounds pressure or steam was registered on the gauge in wo minutes fire m cold water and Ill seven minutes he engine was blowing off steam from both safety valves un- der 120 pounds pressure and continued to do so until the end of the test
 The first test of the engine consisted of two lines of 2la inch hose 300 feet ,ong with l 1ls and 114 inch smooth bore nozzles. The engine delivered two powerful streams under a water pres sure of 220 pounds.
 The second test consisted of a 1000 foot line of 21s inch hose with 18 inch smooth bore nozzle. A pressure of 2SO pounds was maintained until three sections of the hose bursted.
 The third test consisted of tive lines of 2ls inch hose 2o0 feet long with two 1I inch noZZles. A water pressure of 200 pounds was maintained without any difficulty.
 The engine througout all of the tests worked like watch, aud steamed very freely; there was noticeable lack of vibration customary with fire engines. aud it is without question d perfect piece of machinery.
 The engine was officially accepted and the council ordered warrants drawn for the payment.
 The city will now have good fire pro lection and there is no reason why property owntrs should hot obtain insurance and at d very reasona ble rate, as the city will be as we'll equip ped for fighting fire as any city of the same slze in the States, and it Is now up to the business men to take up the question of insurance and see what can be done towards securing rate of insurance in keeping with our fire hazard and protection
