Nature and Man.

Mr.. NEWMAN ERB. president of the
Minneapolis and st. Louis Railroad,
has been travelling OF II through the
States of Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota,
South Dakota. He finds a perfect
rye crop already garnerei in Mime
sofa and now being harvested in South
Dakota; the heaviest oat crop on
record: wheat perfect" everywhere;
cotton doing well. He sees or fore
sees 1.-THE heaviest yield and greatest
grain movement in our history"
So it is generally all over these
United States. The farmer and the
soil have done their task well. The
rains have not overdone theirs. Mighty
crops, the foundation Of all prospect
ties, are assured.
Nature has worked nobly for the
good Of the American people. What
ever there is of sinister or fatuous,
conscious or unconscious opposition
70 q great renaissance of business and
revival Of good times and fat years
comes from the Government. Wit
ness the La Follette-Furuseth law 10
sweep the American merchant marine
from the seas and the lakes. Wit
ness the Department Of Justice in
pigheaded pride of opinion resolved
to keep up the prosecution of the
United States Steel Corporation:
'Every prospect pleases
And only man is vile"
Fortunately, the disposition to re-
gard the marrying Of business and
the batting of business as essential to
political prosperity has waned nota-
bly,. Let us hope, then, that the La
Toilette Furuseth act for the aboli-
ton OF American merchant vessels,
signed in the last moments of the
SiXty-third Congress, will be repealed
In the first moments Of the sixty
fourth. The Steel prosecution, We
take II, is largely an automatic con.
tinuation Of an expiring policy or illu
sion, to which the supreme Court may
be trusted TO give the final blow.
The American people have had
enough and more than enough of harl
times made harder by Federal folly
The s%tringencies born of the war they
have patiently endured. They will not
endure patiently the damage wrought
by m~eddlesome, ambitious politician,
currying favor with special classes il
the hope of votes or nominations.

MR.. ROOTS SUPPORTERS.
Would His Stalwart Conduct in 1912
Injure His Candidacy?

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: I
read with interest THE SUNS poll OF
the country on the question OF the
Republican Presidential nominee for
1916. and with "a degree or surprise
which approaches amazement that the
Hon. Elihu Root appears to be first
choice. without on my part con-
Tossing any a~ntipathy to Mr.. Root, l
desire to inquire whether THE SUNS
referendum of this question has been
placed before the whole body of the
Republican party as constituted prior
to the historic Chicago convention OF
1912, and whether in reaching a basis
for conclusion due Difference was given
to the 5000 600 who supported Roosevelt
In that year. and whether the decision
In favor of Mr.. Root bears representa-
tive Endorsement from this great body
OF voters.
1t IL natural to presume, In the race
of events that occurred in 1912, that
Mr. Root would be far from popular
with "A very large part OF the Roosevelt
following. And while making a very
large allowance for the pronounced re-
dictionary movement against the Demo-

any other unwelcome man upon these

with "Reminiscences toward the en-
press companies.
The order reducing express com
pany rates went into effect early last
year with n proviso that 1t should
have n twelve months trial of its eff
feet on 1t happened also
that during this period of reduced
rates the companies were subjected
practically for the first time to the
new competition of the parcel post.
Last March the express companies
%petitioned for relief, supporting their
application with an exhibition of
earnings under the new tariff. 1t was
calculated at the time that the
changes they sought permission to
make in their charges would yield an
increase OF 3l3 per cent in gross
earnings. The commission says that
it clearly appears that the express
companies are operating Mt a loss un-
der the rates prescribed two years
ago 1t declares that the companies
are entitled to reasonable relief and
sanctions adjustments of the tariff
which seem to work out to Il probable
Increase Of about 3Ns per cent. on
gross revenues. The commission as
serts that relief should be prompt. and
the new tariffs are to be effective on
September /.
This is a sign Of sounder Govern
ment policy toward business. In the
times into which we are to go ms a
result of the war, business in this
country must be u%nfcttcrcd and really
free Of political restrictions.

When the active working season on
the farm will have little let up. the
farmer can have a moment to spare
to ascertain of what value his brood
mares have been.
He viii remember. in the first place,
that they have each given birth this
season and have raised to weaving age
nice promising colt that bids fair
to develop into a good salable horse
later on.
These youngsters are increasing in
value and as they are yearlings now
will help to make their living next
season as two year olds. The brood
mares have also done much farm and
road work.
Probably ! make mistake in cred
iting each mare with a colt every
year; so it is safer TO say that count
ing for accidents a mare should aver
age two colts every three years.
II would be rather hard matter
to say just what product she will give
her owner each year OF her working
and breeding life. So much depends
on her quality and especially upon her
capacity as sure Dreeuer ana ike
wise as good mother.
Mares, like cows. differ greatly in
their flow of milk and many times a
medium-sized animal with heavy milk
flow capacity will raise bigger and
better colt than much larger ami
NAL whose milk flow is insufficient.
The practical horse breeder and the
farmer of experience is we'll aware of
these facts and one will often be sur
prised to see farmers keep breeding
mares that to the uninitiated appear
to be Indifferent specimens.
Say that n farmer has bought a
mare in January for $3.50. She is five
years old and he breeds her in March.
The stud fee is s25, but the money is
not due unless the mare proves to be
in foal.
The colt has cost $25 at birth and
at weaving time, four months later,
he would be worth. II good individ-
ual and good grade, say, $40.
BY next spring he should be worth
$75. and at two years old should bring
800 to s125. Now he can be put to
work.
From then until he is four years
old he should earn his feed-say $75
a year-and give a profit of $25 per
year, although $50 would be nearer
the mark.
At four years of age he should be

worth 5000. Judging from the way
well-brec, well-broken and well-kept
horses are now selling
We will say that breeder is lucky
enough to have raised. a pair OF four
year-olds. sound, good lockers. hearty,
with snap and style, weighing from
1900 to 1,400 pounds each. for the
pair $400 can easily be had in any of
the big markets.
These are not fancifnl figures but
are based upon actual experience Of
everyday farmers of breeding, raising
and selling colts.
Every farmer should. II possible,
keep one or more good brood mares,
not broken-winded. worn-out, city
hacks, but sound, well-shaped, we'll
bred animals that possess individal
merit and whose progeny will sell
readily when the dealer comes along.
Any breeder of experience knows
well that almost as much depends on
the brood mares as upon the stallion in
the raising of any breed of good
horses.
Many colts take their conformation
from their mother, especially from
their shoulders back. For instance. il
a mare has wide. ragged hips, her
colts are most liable to inherit this
tendency. Many colts also inherit
their dispositions from their dams
Brood mares should bo sound, OF
quiet disposition. strongly built. and
they should be well cared for
The mare can be worked up TO a
week or two before the coli is
dropped. In fact, she is better off
for the regular exercise. but she
should be handled by careful man,
who will not excite her. and she should
have roomy box stall for her sleep
ing quarters.
Although many may disagree with
me, am firmly convinced from nearly
80 years experience ON breeding
| farms, that 1t is a risky business pur.
chasing aged mares, who have speL /
the best years Of their lives doing work
in the cities, and trying to make
brood mares of them.
In the first place when marc has
arrived at that age. and has never
had colt. her chances OF getting in
foal are lessened each year.
Furthermore, it is safe to say that
| a reasonable proportion of these mares
have slunked their colts, and for this
reason they have been sent from the
farm and sold in the cities, where
they can do excellent work.
