Von Uokkelen) Each driver of a horse or t jam as well as the owner or those that have to de pend upon the hurncss horse for pleas ure or business, admits the great value of systematic truinlng or handling. We all appreciate the advantage In a team, yet as in many other matters, we are negligent in the majority of cases in taking the means lo secure the desired edecls. The time has come in the his tory of the horse with its established Unease and high ludlvltlual merit, Hmt It must have care and treatment' commensurate wltlflts inherent value. No one would pretend to say that the equivalent in time of half a years work should be spent upon a broncho or any such creature but it is almost an axiom that training mu9t be applied to every draft and joadsteras well as the high bred and sensitive horse. It is ojfly economy In the true sense of its Signifi cance to provide the moat careful hand ling ana attention ior iue equiuo which'is to e sold for remunerative prices. Material to work upon and that too ou an extensive scale is de manded If paying results are to follow. With the great progress and rapid growth of wealth in this country, thousands of people are more ready to give $500 and upwaids for a single well broken horse or ?10CD for a double team than to pay $50 to 200 for the common roadster, yet this 130 roadster is often times made the $500 horse all by close and systematic traialrig and attention. It must be redienibeied that this fiery animai is, iu a natural state far more ungovernable than Is the Inspir ing steam engine or electric motor. In the case of such mechanical ap pliances for power, almost any skillful nitlsnn who understands a device of one kind can almost at sight operdte' . 'ill n..!An bm4 iln '1, tsnnnAaal any eiionui uuviue uuu uu wt uu.v fully. ' Ev'ery'colt', however, 'vIs asepar ate new creature iu the world, and must be proceeded with in its training nnd handling with a trifle at least, of variation in every case to meet its dis position and to render it fully the trained thing of beauty or joy, as may be the case to its owner, who alms to derive from it either pleasure or profit. Starting with a well bred colt whose ancestors for two generations on both sides are known to be of reasonably good natural disposition one may feel as confident in ultimate success In training and developing the youngster into a finished, auimate product as is the machinist who works on an en gine or motor. This statement must be qualified however, with the 'further limitation, namely that th'e trainer, to accomplish positive and unvarying re sults, must be as skillful in bis line of work as is the mechanic referred to. Many farmers and people who have only a few horses are disposed to under value the Importance or 'skilful Juuor upon the young horse? 'ttifnk that they nr thplr furm hands' or help can oc cupy their spare' time In developing - ii. - .. il Visn 11 annllith wuax nas coil mem wuou um ,uuU&.. t wn $100 or mere: here a great mis take is made. While a trainer with less skill will require more time for ac complishing the same results, his time as a rule is very much less valuable than that of the skilled artist in ths Important work. It is true thatmauy people lack method Id tUetr phi'iuf of exercising their horses aotl colts. The majority of farmers aud other people who have horses as an Incidental investment with other lines of work think only of devoting such bits of time as are not needed In their regular line of work and consequently the colt Is neglected when he should be lecslvlng attention and receives a dou ble dose when half would suffice. Such spasmodic eOorls accomplish but little. It would be similar to sending a child to school for only half a day onee'a mouth aud then be surprised that no advaucenjeot is made, In which cose the horse as well as the child U liable to forget in the Intel veiling ttmd all that it has learned duiing its brief les sons. To guard aguiust the extremes of too little handling and of the dan gers of loo much work, is the principal occasion for anxiety in giving the first lefcsons to the coming horse, and here is where skilled tobor is worth double the amount of Inexperienced. Horses unfortUnately cannot talk, and ode" must be able to tell how far to go, and not go too far, from experience and study of the various kinds be baa llarf died. It Is the history of too many an imals that their owners havlug more work to do than horoes with which to do it, put upon a two-year old the work of a mature horse and the MtniejB true In developing the prorulisVug colt trot ters, for the Inexperienced traluer vl put a promislug colt beyond his limit In his desire to get more speed, and thus ruin what nilisbt have been a very valuable animal If placed In the care of a skilled trainer. Occasionally mere will be found the rare strength an constitution which enablis such a vic tim to survive his burden and be after warda a fairly good horse, but where there la one auch case there will Drobablv he found a dozen In which slugghhneea, Indlflerence to life and smnelluiea stubborn luzlnesa nave been the results. Yet when It cornea to the choice between the two evils, the future of the bteh bred candidate for proper tmtneat will be better one from overwork to a limited extent than tho one that Is neglected entirely and allowed to roam at its own free will till 5 years old, which is often the caee. Place u halter upon your colts as soon uh they are able to stand, bo firm yet kind iu your treatment.- You will find that he little fellow will soon learn to obey aud enjoy it. If the colt Is to be developed as n colt trotter In its yeaillng or two-year old form then It should be bandied by nn expert from tho time it is weaned and even then the colt is uot expected to make a reputation for its father and mother. By trotting as a yearling or two-ytar old it should By all means be broken In tho fall at IU yearjlbg form and thoroughly broken as there Is much less danger of accident If taken at that age thau when allowed to wait till they are four or five. Fre quently an old gentleman is the owner of young colts and lacks tact to give them their regular exercise and syste matic care, rSUch a' one should be arouse'U&'ronrhiB lethargy aud engage fbo'services oj an expert for a month or more to ive "steady judicious handling and' tiainlng, such an outlay will be returned a hundred fold in the price attainable when the colt Is put on the market, aud if such a course was treely adopted you would not hear the pessimistic ideas advanced by the owner of a few mares and a lapidly increasing band of colts, and instead of his finding fault because of the dullness of the horse market he would be dis posing of his well broken colts at re munerative Drices. JA month or two of work or haudling'by an expert given acolt.Nvhen two years old, will enable" any owner to continue aafely with bis care and training, unless he or she should show prom'se of speed, then It is much better to leave him where ho received his early training, for a man who laoks experience can do more to kill speed in n mouth's work' than the most Millful l can remedy In two month's. Thelength of time for prelim inarv work will vary, with different animals. Where the owner or trainer Knows the disposition of the ancestors he jean usually Judge of the amount of time he should 'expect it would re quire, for an expert to turn him over to his owner. First teach your colt what the harness and bit Is nnd get him ac customed to being gu:ded with the reins, afterhvhlch he must understand what It means to bave'a buggy 'or cart rolling aud ratling behind him. Don't put on a cheap hairness'fof' the first time, or hitch him to a cheap cai t, for a les&on or accident learned when young is sometimes very hard lo forget. This brelimTnarv work should be given a colt one at a time with an older horse. It Is counted by' many that all this fuss does'nofrpay. "Of course it does not pay if yotfbave'nt a good colt to begin with, but a youngster that is sound and right, having a good disposition and in its veins a predominance of the great blood of the land, can be trained expensively with great profit if training and devel oping by the owners of colts was more liberally Indulged in, throughout this section, there would not be the feeling existing as it does at the present, re garding the breeding of the favorite, mare. There is always a market for the well broken, promising youngster, whereas the unbroken grows and In creases until by the weight of-uumbers, the owner's heart a well ashis bank accouut'ls broken' THE VALUE OF HORSES, v TbVsooner the farmers In the United StaWreallze the fact that the ordinary aud commonly bred horse is likely to deteriorate in value year by year, the better it v. ill be for them. The use of cables to drag sfeet cars has already reduced the service performed by horses In the cities, and the extension of the trollery system 'n the suburbs aud the perfection of e)ectrlo motors' will relieve many other' thousands of horses from such service. It has not been bo very long since nearly all tho threshing waa done by Horses; now only a very small percentage of even the threshing ma chines are worked by horse-power. Practically all of tho ploughing is now done by horses; but a cheap aud prac tical steam plough will be shown to visi tors to the world's fair, and it is not Improbablu that In ten years from now quite a large percentage of ploughing wllf he done without the aid of horses. The need in the cities and on the farms for fewer horses will tend more and more to reduce their market value, Commonly bred horses will be the first to deteriorate iu price; indeed It la doubtful whether finely bred borises Will sutler a all.

This decrease In value lias aireauy been uoted, so far as farm animals are nn.iM-rned. bv the aUtlsliclana of the United States Department ofAgrlcul- Jure! InlBthTv.ge yalueofa CAPITAI JSVEOTNG farm horse in the United State? was 105.01, nnd of a mule $75.65; in 1893 tho average farm horse Is worth only f 01.22, nnd tho mule $70.C8. Here Is a depre ciation of $3.70 in homed and $4 87 In mules. Notwithstanding the fact that there are 70S.C02 more horses and 10,429 more mules ou tho farms this year than last, the total valuo of the horses aud. mules has depreciated more than twenty-five million dollars. Tl.la is very hard indeed on the farmers. Though they have to feed more than seven hundred thousand more ho'-aea aud mules than the year before, the stock In tho market is not worth as much as it was the year before by more than $25,000,000. That sum does not really represent tho loss, for the horses are eatlncrall the while, and a source of continuous expense. Had this increase In the number of horses been eutirely of those that were well bred, tho value of the farm horses would probably have appreciated Instead of decreased, aud the books would have shown a profit instead of a loss. A well-bred horse costs no more in food and attention than a common one, aud heiaatvery much better, investment. A horse of common breeding Is sure to be a com mon and uninteiestlng horse; but -one with a crossing of good strains of blood, is apt to be very interesting. In auch a horse there are attractive possibilities similar to those that invest a lottery ticket with chaim. Who cares to wntch the development of the aplndle- ,legsofa suckling colt when it la well known that the mature horse will only be fit to draw'a carl? But what a difr iference when you look upon the awk ward youngsler nnd recognize no reason why it should not lower the irecord of Salvalor or Nanoy Hanks! Falling in such high deeds, either run ner or trotter would bo just as aer vice able in a cart as the cold-bred colt for whom thero waa never any b'gb amblr tlon. The facts gathered by the statisti cians, and the prospects for changed motive power for transportation aud for faimintr, appear to indicate clearly that in the future there will be less and less profit in breeding other than from good strains of equine blood.

Journal.- Dear Sir: In the Is sue of Saturday's March 25th you invite discussion on the merits or demerits of live nieeon shootlne at the traps, I do not wish to say who shall or shall not use iive birds for targets, nor do I wish to say who shall or shall not use tobacco although they may both be offensive to me, but there are cranks on every sub ject and no doubt I will get scored in the near future for the stand I take in this matter, is it any harm to shoot any, pt the numerous wild fowl? la it anyway cruel to ki'l chickens for food purposes? or, does It'sbow cruelty for the butcher 'to take the life of a dear little lamb? if 'so then it Is positively cruel to, shoot live pigeous at the trap, a great portion of the unfavorable comment on this s'ubjept Is the result of reports circulated I by uninformed persons, reports are sent out that these birds are killed and that the carcasses are permitted to go to waste, also that the birds are wounded, and permitted to sit on the grounds and suffer, again that artificial tai gets are as good for practice as the live birds are now this la all wrong, first all of the dead birds are sold, in order to reduce expenses, and they are used for food purposes, again no bird is permitted, to linger (fit can be avoided. There are. in some isolated coses, birds bjt with shot that get away but not nearly so many as there are trout hooked that tear half of their mouth, out and go oil to die of starvation. As regards the merits of live birds va targets for prac tice,! hore is nn comparison between the two targets. Under the present rules aro turoWn so that the t hooter knows be- forehand just the direction it will take in its flight, aud the shooting of them becomes purely mechanical, with live birds, this is done away with and the shooter gels regular field training at the trap. To kill live birds at tha trap may be against the principles of some, and may possibly be wrong, but if It is, then there are 37 states In the Union. that permit wrong doing within their boundary Hues. All of Europe, Asia aud pun of Africa permit live bird shooting and I forgot to mention Ore- Kon. W. A. Storey. Portland, March 28. About a Bile Tournament.

There I have a beautiful stream. of mountain water flowing through my farm as cold as Ice all -through - the- summer, and 800 acres of fine Kentucky blue igrass, shaded along the stream with fine oak and cedar.

Then select the best bred stallion In size, polor, and be sure he la sound and. of good disposition, and 1 will assure you If you breed right you will go car-j riage horses, road horses and race horses, which wilj sell right hero at home for $500 to $1000 apiece at three upd four years c.Jd.
