PLAIN EVERYDAY FARMERS
WHAT THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH
IN BREEDING LIVE STOCK
Some SuKK«"ftloiiN as to How to IVo
e«ed Wttk Hor»e« The roiMilttil
llleß Open lo ni-Klnners \Vlio I'ur.
wac l*rf»i»«>r M«-<h««l» The Small
farm* Are the Snm«rleii to Which
Healer* Look for Kutnre Supplies.
The plain, e\-ery-ddy farmer is often inclined ]
to place a low estimate v; on his own ability j
to ao.omplish many things which he sees oth- I
ers all around him accomplishing. This is j
especially true in connection with the breed
ing of a good quality of live stock. It U
probably due. in a large measure, to this
self-depr<x'latlon that so many fanners seem
flUpoaed to give little or no attention to im
provements In these lines, but are. ap?a:en-tly,
COQtent to lit what they regard as well
enough alone, and make no effort to advance,
evefl though advancement Is practicable.
Kvcry farmer, from the nature of his call
ii.X. feels it necessary lo have something on
hl-> place in the form of live stock, It may be
tattli-. nous or sheep, whilo horses represent
an imlispensab'.e auxiliary in his v%k. In
thesf days of comparative cheapness of
horses, hi .an just us easily, and much more
prciti:..b:y. s.cure a good animal as a poor one.
For the farmer of moderate means it is de
sirable to be posseted of good, scund mirca,
capable of productive farm work as well as
for breeding purposes. The mating of such
mares with sires of mci it and wo:th ls prac
ticable !n nlnwst any community. With such
a small beginning as this, even, the wide-
BWake farmer of the most moderate ny : a!is
will soon find himself accumulating a desira
ble little turd ot bones. And the better the
quality, the better the prices reiurned for
the m when they iire offered upon the market.
That Which is true in the case of horsts is
equally true In connection with tiie other
classes of live stock mentioned. Once the
farmer is seized with the determination, not
only to breed, but to br<.ed in uecordani-e wi;h
the higher standards of today, rather than to
the poorer strains of several years ago. the
live stock product of the country wl'.l soon
show a gratifying uniformity in the degree of
Improvement.
But everyone beginning th:s industry shou:d
go about it with intelligence and w;t!i a
resolution la follow it along tho lines or
economy and care marked out for hi.n by th?
experience of others. Very few thr.f^y and
intelligent fanners would care to tike the
trouble to raise co'ta that at 3 years oil would
not yield a larger return than, Ray $50. It is
the pursuit of such a course as this tfia' ha?
led many a man. who thought he was breed
ing something of value w;ien h? was no.,
to discouragement. Now. by giving attention
to the details of properly sUrtlng cut in the
business, the farmer can just as easily reewa
a better breed, which, wi h the sam? amount
of rare will give him a return of from $15 1
to $200 per head for every animal produced.
He will have paid more fur tf\e b? tir b:e3
mare than for one of the commoner kind, an}
the cost of service of the sire will have beea
somewhat more, but there will be no excess
in the amount of care bestowed upon and the
feed consumed by the better horse ihan in
the care of the poorer 0.-.c. U invariibly fol
lows that the poorer grade of anlma', when
sold, yields no margin of profit, whil^ in the
case of the higher grade of animal the profit
Ls found to be even liberal, when the tit.il
account comes to be made up.
In the judgment of the most sensible experts
of today, the small farm of the future -.s to
be the nursery to whic-h dealers must look
for their supply in the market. A write.- to
the Country Oent'.einan has this to gay oa
the subject of breeding by farme. s:
You have no idea how wa dealers arc put
to it to find such animals as will please o^-.- j
people. It is almost impossible to buy good
green horses now, and. after weeks of travel
last spring, I came in with only fourteen fa.r
ly good ones. Five years ago. in the sam?
lime, ] could have easily bought five carloads. 1
One thing that is against us. and yet, l:i a |
way. is the best thing that could have hap- !
ponrd. ls the education of the horsj-1 ving !
public by the horse shows. The buyers know !
what they want, and the beamy ot it 13 they I
are perfectly willing to pay the price. One !
thing that pU-astd nu- in my traveling was ■
that I saw lo'.s of youiiir things In the paa- |
tures. The farmers are now convinced that j
the money is still In raising horses. Now is
ttie time for farmers to secure the proper j
marcs and rais* 1 every year four or five coLs. j
The time when any kind of a horse would j
bring a good price has gone, nevtr to return. '
There is only money today at the lop, and |
the man v.ho lists his braii;s In breeding will ,
find thu market waiting far him and bU '
prices for what he h;is to sell. This is as it
bhouM b«r. The man who studies his subject, j
breeds irreiiigently and cares for the ycung- ■
■ten is the proper one to make the money.
This is wholescme advice from an indis
putably excellent source. In view of the fact
that many farmers must require their brood j
marc-3 to work whil? with foal, they should
observe certain rults of treatment. An ex
change has the fjllowing advice regarding
the care of brood mares:
There has been a considerable revival in
horse breeding, and while it has not gons j
to the extent that was common some ytars I
aico, of breeding everything that could bj !
br.d this, this is all the better, as it insures :
a smaller supply of colts and tends to DUka I
the horse inuiiftry reasonably lemunera- i
tive. With tho lncrto.se in breeding cjmes i
the nvcessity for eaxetol attention to ths :
brood mare. As the mares are. as a ru e '
1 |alar.} worked, the manner in which they j
arc worked becomes important. They si ould
be trusted only to careful and reliable driv
••ts. for rough handling of any kind or over- '
exrr;ii)n will be aim st certain to work in- I
jury. The singletie-es should be longer than
h urdinari.y regarded as necessary, and this !
become* especially important as the animal's
period progresses. Driving over rough places
or where the footing la bad should also bs
done only when ne< e.-sary. and then with
only extreme tare. As to the feeding, while
It should be liberal, the feeling stuffs shculd, !
nevertheless, be wisely chosen. It should noi !
cm-is: to.) entirely of dry feed, as constina
tlon and torpidity of the liver will likely re
sult from this, nor should the feeling b=>
toj laxative. Indigestible food should bti
avoided, and care should be taken that wha£- ■
ov( r the feel it should be gi;od of its kind
and should not be sour, musty, or in any way |
fermented. A go.>d article of bran is an ex- i
i.ilmt fwd for the brcod mare, and w,th
good hay and oals, and uceasiona ly, at least
a mash at night, the feeding ls not apt tj
be far wrong. A: tho same time nj haru and
fas; rules can be laid down, bu: goi.d judg
ment should control the feeding ali the time.
The giving of drugs and physics of varioui
Kinis should be avoided wherever possible
and the animate, and (.-specially young mares'
should be handled with great care.

CHICAGO. July 6.— Crop damage reports, j
together with an urgent demand for cash !
wheat by millers, strengthened wheat today.
July closed with a gain of 2&c, and ScpUra
ber rcse %c. Corn advanced %<3>ie and oats i
left oIT lc higher. Provisions show gains Of i
20c in pork. s<S7>4c in !ard, and 1214 cln rib 3 . i
Continued fine weather, lower Liverpco' i
cables and the generally bearish sentiment !
of the trade started wheat rasy. In the firs: '
hour there was a good deal of long wheat sold I
out and free selling for the short account
Thoman s crop report for July was made
pub it, and was considered bearish as it
c.ainud with all the damage reported and
admitted, the yield Indicated a production of
G8r..«C0,000 bu, against 580,0C0,<X0 bu claimed
to have been raised last year. Later In th->
day there were a number of bad crop ad
vices received. This, together with cm
plaints of slow movement of new wheat ani
the imeprative demand from millers caused
traders to turn bullish. Early sel'erg cov
ered freely and prices took an upturn. July
which had been selling at 74c, rose rapidly
to 7614 c September advanced to 69Vic SeD
tcmber reacted slightly near the close
Chicago received 11 cars of wheat, against
12 last yrcr; Minneapolis and Duuth -IS car
loads, compared with 167 a year ago At-
I lantic port clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 200,000 bu.

cosing price. September began %c lower to I
V*e higher, at OSV«@6B%I-; rallied to 69>,£c, j
' then reacted to 69"4<g'69«ic bid at tlie close.
Unfavorable crop news and an improved
cash demand were the bull influences in corn. |
There was a good speculative demand both
from shorts and prominent operators. July
opened unchanged to %c higher, at Zl%@
3176 c and sold up to 32%@32%c.
Sympathy with wheat and corn, a better I
shirking demand, li^ht receipts and buying •
by July shorts caused the advance in oats. ■
July began %c higher, at 21% c; weakened to
ii'%c, then rose to 22% c, the c!oslng price.
Higher prices at the yards, smaller receipts ;
than estimates, together with satisfactory re- I
ports from the South as to the yellow fever I
situation strengthened provisions. There was :
n good cash trade, and the foreign demand
1 was slightly improved. September pork '
| opened 12V4c higher, at $9.75, and sold up to |

the war ia littl-e taktn ascount of in the
stock market. Many observers believe trat
its "successful termination has already btei
discounted, and the only development In lti
progress likely to affect prices of sjecur tiis
would be something unfavorable to th- j suc
cess of the United States. The flnanMa.l c >l
aipse of Spain is felt to b? lnevitab'e, and the
longer the 6train is maintained the gnawer
the damage that will b? inflicted by the final
disatster. The bankruptcy cf the S.aani-sn
government must inevitably have f<3r-"rra'h
ing effect in the financial world, and ia bound
to be reflected in this country even in the
face of triumph and of prosperity, for forced
liquidation will seek the strongest market ti
realize In. The effect of the government
loan on the money market is also an unsolved
problem, and begets hesitation in speculative
ventures. There is bound to be o ntin-ie3
uncertainty as to the country's prosperity for
the coming year, until the present cr;pj are
finally harvested, or at least until th-» di
mensions of the crops they win bring are
known. The prospect of a naval victry
awakening speculative activi y ha 3 been dis
appointing. Today's sluggish m-irkft was the
natural outcome, wl'h the bears nibbling to
find weak spots, but with sd little succ sa as
to be led to cover much short contracts be
fore the day's close. Changes, as a rule,
were, therefore, small and unimportant

FOREIGN FINANCIAL.
NEW YORK, July 6.— The Evening Post's
London financial cablegram sayß: "The
withdrawal today from the Bank of England
of £105,000 In German coin and of £10.000 for
Holland, Jn addition to the $242,000 withdrawn
yesterday, has caused a sharp rise In dis
count rates, ajid makes the bankers skeptical
of a further early reduction in the bank's
discount rate. For this reason the markets
here were du'.l and drooping today. So far aa
Americans are concerned operators are d's
couraged by the persistency with which Wall
streets se^ls on any advance here. A Persian
loan of about £1,500,000 is being underwritten,
but n*l with eagerness, and a large brewing
amalgamation is announced tonight, with a
capital of f1,500,000, over one-third of which Is
asked for by Friday night
WALL STREET GOSSIP.
New York stock gossip, reported by H. HoN
bert & Son, bankers and brokers. 341 Robert
street. National Germau-Am-erlCjin Bank
building, St. Paul:
Poit & Flagg wire us: London came again
higher, and was a fair buyer but selling
pressure, which was so evident yesterday ap
peared and the market sold flowly fiown dur
ing most of the day. The Impress on tha r
the large operators had sold their stocks <n
the good news yesterday was strengthened
by this and the traders became sellers. Just
at the close a rally eet in caused by the light
waisted operators covcr.ng their e'-iort tt.ee,
but during the greater part of the day the
dullness was extrema. Bids for the new loan
wM be opened on the 14th and we think this
likely to be an important factor toward a more
cheerful feeling, for they will be very large.

OSSIFIED MAN STOLEN.
Robbers Carried Him Off While the
Owner of the Show 'Was Away.
From the New York Sun.
An ossified man who has been on ex
hibition was stolen by two men. He
offered vig-oro'J3 protest In his weak
v«lce, and used sulphurous lang-uaa;^,
but the robbers shouldered him as they
would a enin, and left th 2 place by the
rear door, while the proprietor was in
fron>t trying to boom business.
The calls of an ossified woman who
was left behind attracted the attention
of the proprietor, and he went inside
and found her standing: against the
wall, like a cane, where the thlevfs had
left her. The woman said the lobbers
intended to take her, but concluded
not to. One of them slapped her in the
fa^e almost breaking his hand, and
knocked her agairst the wall.
The police were notified of the theft.
The stolen freak was placed in a
w-agon, covered with straw, and driven
away.
