MARKETABLE H0RSE3. Hfllah Carriage mml H ravy Draft Tram In Mont Demand. TbtTe i something wrong In tiro breeding prublonw, nH f uriuurs mid breed era have not njudo the denmnd of tlio torse jjiarkntH a tudy and bred intelli gently, but produced a clans of horses tbat do not till tho requirement of our markets. There nro but two classes of horses that it will pay to breed to fill a pnblio want. First, t he linht lmroo-sH horse and, second, the heavy draft, with all the size and quality tbat tho market demands that is,a draft horso that weighs from 1, 600 to 1,800 pounds, is blocky made, not leggy, short back, uphcaded, heavy bono, with good action, tho moro quality, finish and knee action tho better. Bays, browns, blacks and grays are all good colors. This class of horses aro very scarce iu tho market, and thero never was tho time that they would bring more money than at present Judging from the present outlook, they will for many years to come grow in value, as it is a well known fact that farmers and breeders of the heavy draft horses throughout the wholo country have been changing the breeding of the heavy draft to lighter horses and in many cases have sold their heavy draft wares and replaced them with lighter ones and turned thoir attention to breed ing trotters, and not having the right kind of breeding stock this change will prove a failure Where thoro have been three or four draft colts raised in pre vious years thoro is not more than one or two at tho presont time, and as there is already a larger demand for the heaviest draft animals than tho supply this class must necessarily get less plentiful and higher for a long time to come, until farmers shall roalisso the great mistako they have made and place themselves in lino with tho demands of our markets. Therefore our advice to farmers and breeders of horses is to turn thoir whole attention to breeding tho highest type of light harness horse or the heaviest draft of highest quality that con possibly be produced. Spirit of the Turf. Why He Like Southdown. Because they of all sheep will produco more meat at less cost from a given area than any other breed of sheep, for you can keep 80 of these Southdowns where only 20 of the largor breeds can be kept on the same food and area, They are mall in size, but great in value. They are big Bhoep in little room. They are sheep that produce the greatest weight where the best points are, for many of you may not be aware of the fact that the hind quarters of Southdowns are always one to two pounds heavier than the fore quarters. This is a merit pecul iar to them. Thoy are producers of fine wool of the best quality, and al though the weight of the fleece is not to much as of some othor breeds, taken as a wholo, the figures would show a farmer received in cash more profit from tho produce of CO Southdowns than from any other breed, if an account of the oost of food and attendance were prop erly kept I prefer thom bocause of thoir hnrdi ness, freedom from disease and their ability to livo and thrive in extremes of heat and cold, for they aro to be found all ovor the world. On their native downs they have great extremes of cli mate to endure, from tho heat of sum mer to the almost arotio cold of winter, and thoir flno; thick wool and close floeoo is most essential to thoir well be ing, with which, being impervious to ei ther wet or snow, they aro ablo to put up with tho greatest hardships, cold and wet, without any ill effects to their bodily health or to tho quality of their wool. Thus not only do you by keep ing a flock of Southdowns koep a shoep of tho most valuable mutton breed, but you koep one whoso wool is of the finest and bost quality and is not affcotod by tho weather in tho manner it affects othor breeds. I prefer them because thoy will thrive and livo as well where other Bheep would almost st:irvo; because they are small eaters and rapid f atters and will come to maturity as onrly as any other sheep in tho world; because of their small size they produce just tho joints that mako tho highest price in the mar ket Another reason why Southdowns should be kept is tlyit I am sure if yon could get your "upper ten" to taste a good mutton chop or joint of mutton such as we produce in England the de mand for mutton would increase "by lenps and bounds," for what keeps tho fashion for eating mutton at so low an ebb is no doubt the poor quality that butchers can get. Increase the quality and trado will certainly follow. And, lastly, because rams and ram Jaml of this breed aro by far tho best ahoep for producing cross bred mutton from sheep whoso pedigrees are not recorded or to use on various other breeds for mak ing better mutton sheep for the butcher.

Alun or any other adulterant, O Yf-Ai'.S THE STANDARD. 1 Ml j DESTRUCTIVE POTATO DISEASES. ' What TIim Aro ami How to Prevent Them, tut Told by Profeaaor Calloway. Among tho many fungous disease) i affecting the Irish potato, three are especially worthy of consideration, on I account of tho regularity of their occur rence iu tho United Statos and tho wide spread losses they occasion. Tho diseases in question are potato blight or downy mildew, tho macrosporium disease and potato scab. Tho blight attacks leaves, stems and tubers. Tho macrosporium, often mistaken for true blight, affects tho leaves, tho stems sometimes, but the tubers nover. Tho scab is too woll bttnum tn iwinirn rlnsprlntinn. Professor Galloway, in a bulletin recently issued by tho deportment of agriculture, gives the following advice: For blight and tho macrosporium dig- easo nothing so effective as tho bor ' doaux mixture has been found. This should be prepared as follows: Pour in j to a 45 gallon barrel about 80 gallons ' of clean water, then weigh out 6 pounds of bluostono or copper sulphate, and after tying it in a piece of coarse stick ing suspend tho packago just beneath . tho surface of the water by means of a string tiod to a stick laid across tho top of tho barrel. In another suitable ves' tel, such as a tub or half barrel, slack 4 pounds of fresh lima Slack the lime carefully by pouring on small quanti ties of water at a timo, the object being to obtain a smooth, creamy liquid free ', from grit As soon as tho bluestone is I dissolved, which will require probably ' less than an hour, pour the lime milk ! into the bluestone solution, stirring con. itantly to effect a thorough mixing. Add enough water to fill tho barrel, stir ,' again, and tho mixture is then ready , for use. ! For tho treatment of potato scab a solution of corrosive sublimate has giv ' en the best results. This should be pre pared by dissolving iA ounces of corro' sive sublimate in about 3 gallonB of hot l water, and after an interval of 10 or 13 Honrs minting witn lis gamma oi water. For potato blight and tho macrospo rium disease, apply the bordeaux mix ture, beginningwhen the plants are about six inches high, and continuing at inter vals of 12 or 14 days, until five or six ap plications in all have been made. If the season is rainy, it would probably be best to make the treatments every 10 days, the object being to keep tho plants at all times covered with the fungicide. By adding 4 ounoes of paris green to each barrel of the bordeaux mixture the treatments will not only prevent the diseases under consideration, but keep in check the Colorado potato beetle and other insects as well Before adding the paris green to the bordeaux mixture the former should be made into a thin paste by mixing with a small quantity of wa ter. Potato scab has been very successful' ly prevented by the use of the corrosive sublimate solution described. The pota' toes to be planted are immersed in the solution for an hour and a half, then spread out to dry, cut and planted in the usual mannor. A largo barrel offers a convenient receptacle for the solution. The potatoes may bo placed in a coarse sock and suspondod in the liquid, care being taken to wash tho tubers before dipping, providing thoy nre very dirty. The corrosive sublimate is very poison ous; therefore it must bo used with great core and kept out of the roach of children and animals. White Field Beau. Thoro is no crop that will yield a greater profit at so littlo expense than fiold beans, aud thero is no crop for which there is a moro constant or hotter demand. Sheep ond cattlo eat the vines fully as woll, and do better, pound for pound, than on hay. Thoro nro few crops from which tho returns couio so quickly, 00 days from tho timo of plant ing to tho salo of tho crop being no un common thing. There is no crop that can be kept over the winter with great er safoty. Kats and mice do not troublo them, and the shrinkage is slight There are few crops that exhaust tho soil so littlo, as may readily be seen from the rank growth of the crop following thorn, wheat or rye producing nearly or equal to summer fallowing. There ore few crops raised in which tiie ground is left so clean. Being a cultivated crop, and tho vines not growing tall enough to hido the weeds in the hills, tho few that cannot be cultivated out aro easily pulled 'Whito beans will grow on al most all kinds of soil, but good wheat land is preferable. Thus writes a Mich igan farmer to American Agriculturist How to Handle Alfalfa. A Colorado correspondent writes to Rural New Yorker as follows: Three or four times a year as tho season may allow we stuck the alfalfa that grows on about 150 acres. We never uso salt or lime in the stack. When the weather is clear, there is no troublo in curing the hay so that it is of a fresh green color. Tho alfalfa makes tho best feed for milk cows when it is cut iu early bloom. For horses many wish it to grow a littlo longer. Wo generally rako our alfalfa into rows the second day after it is cut and stack tho fourth day when the weather is bright and drying. The littlo handling helps retain the leaves on the stems. Treated in this way, it comes out of the stack bright and green aud tempting to the herd. Complaint of American Tobacco. The United States consul at Bremen reports numerous complaints of Ameri can tobacco shipped in hogsheads to Germany as not being equal to tho sam ples drawn. The matter is so serious that it may ruin this heretofore flocr Lshing export trade. The complaints re late particularly to tlio irregular pack ing, called "nesting, " which U said to giTe proof of unreliable iuspectioa iu the United States. Tubule cure liver trouble. KIDNEY. E.

For years I was a constant sufferer from weak lungs and bronchial asthma. -My rest vt night was disturbed by a hacking cough, so that 1 felt miserable the greater part of the time.

After two bottles of the large size have been used I am pleased to state, my helth is better than it has been for years. The soreness has left my lungs and chest and I can breathe easily.
