jr xs4 NOTICEABLE fact that while
the:grain market is down. in the neigh-
borhood of zero, and beef. cattle aro
selliug below cost of production, horses
reaintein.a.steady value and common
good prices. There is a constant and
•apparently unfailing demand for them.
The steer is the sure money, the pig •is
quick money, and the eolt4s big ineney,
The colt .this year has certainly saved
the progeessiva.fartners et Canada. .It
has been almoat the only, thing on the
farm that has brought anyamount of t
cash. Several Canadian!, farmers have
found the "big money" for their colts
very opportune at the present juneture*
and it is undenieble that at any time,
and at all times, no branch a stock in-
dustry, judiciously teenaged, pays bet-
ter than rearing horkes.„ A recent re-
port of the Montreal.horse market gave
shipments to tlie, United States for the
previous week. as 136 head, costing
$15,183, or an average of $11,1.63c
eaCh. The highest priced large lot was
16 horses shipped to Maseachusetts,
which cost $2,125, or nearly $133 each.
The lowest priced lot was 19 horses
which cost $1,909,50 or a trifle over
-$103 each. But ler the duty each, of
thee artimrls might have brought $20
more,—a strong argument in the view
of 'Canadian . farmers for. C.Jonneercial
Union, or some, form of reciprocity
• with the other side. Not the United
States only, but Great Beitain, is ready
to buy up Canadian horseg. A mili-
tary officer has been throngh the length
and breadth of the Dominion lately in
search of cavalry. horses: The search
waa not highly saecessfal, the class of
animals wanted being precisely tla4 of
which this country has been so largely.
for some years past by brother ;Tone -
than. Too many farmers, especially.
young farmers, wh.en they turn theta
attention to horse -raising, think they.;
must go in for trotters. This is a great
mistake It is better to leave the trade
in those to professionals, who can beat
the average fernier all to pieces in this
line. They aro the costliest of all
hersestock Lo breed up to a high pitch,
and if not bred up to that, they are the
most unprofitable of all horses to own.
Besides, the horse jockey spirit is a bad
one to get possession of a farm. It is
like the unclean spirit spoken et in the
New Testament, who, when he found a
house ready swept and garnished, went
in and took 'along with him seven. Oth-
er spirits rpore .wicked than himself,
and the last end etthat man was worse
than the first,—a tact verified by the
history of really a man who has been
ruined by becoming "horsey." A. horse
must go faster than a mile in three
minutes to Make a jockey of his owner.
Ther o is a pride in having :a magnifi
cent plough team, which a, man may
eafely and.innocentlyefeel,,,as he drives
ferth his horses, bedecked with rilabotai
to compete in the prize -ring, or, the
plengltingtmatch, It is always 4 pleas-
ure to find a farmer proud of his eux-
hie helpers, and having such as he has
no need to be ashamed of... Keep good
horses, and when there is a note to be
paid, or a pinch to be rod, a spare
animal will suffice for the emergeney.
It is not needful to go to any extrava-
gant cost in order to obtain really good
horses. With well-developed brood
mares, and the use of the bed sires
within reach, there is a ready possibi,
kity of attaining a high standard of ex-
eellence, and securing eonatert im-
provement in thisline,

A.T PRESENT business is irigt very
