Daily Democrat GOOD KAltSl TEAMS. Xo good farming U possible uitl.out gojd teams. The attention given to hcrse breeding mul, therefore, be the basis of any attempt to improve farm methods. St) large a part of farm work is now done by horse labor that the efficiency of farm liclp is necessarily measured by that of the teams tney use. it does not pay to em ploy men at high wages to follow teams unable to do a full day's work. Some of the improved agricultural implements are very heavy, and some of them require three strong hoises to draw them. Even In lighter work there is an advantage wherever possible of using two horses in place of one, or three in place of two. Western farmers who have little turning about to do cultivate corn with two horses, the team straddling the rows. In this way the frequent resting required when only one horse is used in cultivating is avoided. Plowing should be done with plows adapt cd to three horses. On naked stubble the surface may be cultivated rather than plowed, and a strong team will enable the driver to take a broader sweep across the field. Strength, however, is not all that is quired, else we might hnd It in oxen . Ac tivity and what may be called nerve force tell in hard work whether for men or horses. It it not always the largest men wh can do the most manual labor. Great size may be fat rather than muscle, and In muscle even there is a wide difference In character and fibre. An active.intelligent man will endure greater hardship and ac complish more than one who may look to the unpractised eye much stronger. It is 0 with teams. While popular fancy just at present seeks extra heavy horses of the Perchcrun or Clydesdale breeds,a reaction it surely cotring which will require lest bulk and more nerve vigor and toughness. The very heaviest horses are most apt to go wrong In their feet. Their weight un- mt them for service on hard roads. The Morgan breed of horses are excellent for farm work, and some of the. best of them will outpull much larger animals of breeds gcod for nothing except for draft. No idea can be more mistaken than is the one held by some old-fashioned farm ers that the race horse is necessarily worth less except far hi own specialty. Great speed meam immense muscular power,and also the nervous energy to give it greater effectiveness. There may be too much nervousness in the best trotting stock to take kindly to the steady pull of hard farm work ; but the ability it there if rightly trained. It is easily possible that good trotting s:ock may in a few years be uted ai si.es on the heavier breeds of draft hor ses, to make a grade better adapted than any we now have for ordinary farm work, a horte that combines more of nervous en ergy with all the strength possessed by the present average horse kept for draft purposes. L aiudun millers have called a mass meeting to protest against the action of Parliament in refusing to protect them against American mil lers. The duty on flour is fifty cents a barrel, w'.iilc the duty on the amount of wheat neces sary to m..ke a barrel of llour is about sixty- seven rents a discrimination in favor of the Ameiiran miller of anout seventeen cents a bar- Canada has reduced the export duty on pine lojs from S3 to ?; per 1000 cubic feet, and Premier Macdcnald intimates a disposition on the part of the Dominion llovcinment to abro gate the lumber duties altogether, on condition that the I'niled Stales Government does like- ( wise. Supplies of winter wheat have arrived at the different western market! , St. Louis received the first sample, and the lot was sold at 81,04 per bushel. The first sample shown in Boston early this week was grown in Kansas, and proved to be of excellent quality. Paris doctors have condemned the saccharine or artificial sugar produced from coal, because it seriously troubles digestion. They recom mend that it be prohibited as an article of food, and a law to that effect, we believe, has recent" ly been enacted. According to the most reliable estimates, the population of London is now 4,250,000. Of this nnraber goo,ooo,or more han one fiflh.are in receipt of some form of pauper relief.

DIUVfcNTO THE WAU The Timts-Mounlainetr, evidently feel ing that, on more than one occasion,it has been driven to the wall in attempting to defend the policy of taxing one class of people for the benefit of another a policy which it calls "protection," now pleads, as a last resort, that, as France after the fall of Sedan, resorted to "protection" to raise money to pay off her immense indebted ness and succeeded in doing so, that this proves that protection is the best policy. Hard pressed, indeed, must be the Moii'h tainter to be compelled to resort to such dodging as this. The case of Trance re ferred to proves but one tiling that "pro tection" is a certain way to raise large sums of money from the people, and especially one class of people, and that a class least able to pay, but this proposition needed no prooi as no one denies that monev mav be uccessfully wrung from the people in that way. Our own "protective policy'proves that every day. And so far as the demo cracy Is concerned we believe they all ajree that our tariff rates should icinain sufficiently higl. enable the government to collect all the money necessary to meet its just demands.and that beyond this lim it all such taxation would be unnecessary and consequently unjust. Now, If to raise money to pay oil the Indebtedness of the I'nitcd States and meet all the other just demands against the government it the reason why the Mountaineer is a protec tionist then the Democrat Is likewise a protectionist. But as the government Is iow raising from 60 to a 100 millions del art per year more than is necessary to meet the demands of the government we see no reason why theie shculd not be a reduction in tariff taxation.

Once it was fed almo-t exclusively to pigs, and that with little other food. It made the pig grow, but not bitter than ground corn and oats mixed with wheat bran. A more profitable use of milk Is to feed it to hens for egg production. If kept sweel, as it will be in the creamery process, the milk may be more profitably fed to cows, who toon learn to like it.
