breeding, particularly that no coun-
try can be great stock country
unless it has lime stone soil and
limestone water, and is luxuriant
in grasses and cereals. The Spec

the influence of the climate and

my own views-as are we'll known
ARE that good horses can be bred
in almost any part of the world,
and under an extraordinary diver
sity of conditions, insomuch that
it is folly to dogmatize on the sub
ject. We have seen Ard Patrick

stone land and Ireland, but we
have also seen Springfield, Sain-
form, Memoir and La Fleche from
Bushey Paddocks, Hampton Court.
On the one hand a moist climate
may conduce to the making of
great horses, on the other we see
the big-boned and high-class Camp

Colony while the Arabs and
Barbs, the soundest and hardest
horses in the world are reared on
hard ground and in the driest pos
sible atmosphere. The ques-

hope the above words quoted will
sink deep into our breeders, and
strive through the agency of Fed

measure thru the legislature. Iowa has
laws that punish man for deserving
his horse Or dog or any other animal,
but absolutely no law to punish man
for deserving his wife and children.
The measure was fought out at the
last session, and determined effort TO
get it thru met with failure. This ses-
sion, a bill has again been drawn and
introduced, this time in the senate, by
Senator Smith. of Mitchell. The bill.
by Smith in brief provides that a per-
son who wilfully deserts his wife or
children under the age of 16 years,
shall be deemed guilty of desertion,
and shall be punished by imprisonment
in the, penitentiary for not more than
one year. or in the county Jail for not
more than six months. The bill, how
ever, has other provisions. 1t allows
the wife or Husband to be compe-
tent witness in trials of the kind and
permits great latitude for discretion Of
the court. The court can on applica-
ton of the defendant allow the defendA
ant Ito give bond of not to exceed
$1,000 thathe will faithfully support his
wife and family. If the bond is for
feited, the court has discretion to give
all or part of the bond to the wife or
the custodian of the children, and in
addition enforce the punishment pro-
vided by law.

hotel at this place saved from total de-

Mr.. sBussey, landlord Of the hotel, was
engaged in backing stove, which was
warmer than he supposed, and the
patent backing exploded, scattering
the fire and starting blaze that quick
ly communicated to the carpet and fur
niture of the room. Mr. Bussey, as
sisted by. Mr.. Parker, fought the fire
most heroically for some time before
it was controlled. Mr.. Bussey stood
in the midst Of the blazing room. while
Mr.. Parker carried water. Mr.. Bussey's
hand was SO severely burned that all
the skin has peeled off, and his injury
is very painful.
All the contents of the room were
practically ruined but the remainder
Of the hotel was not damaged. The
