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,

Premier Macdcnald intimates a disposition on

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.

NEW A DVERTISEM EX ! S.
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.
