Allison On Schley.
In speaking of the Schley verdict
Senator Allison said: "Out in th west
sentiment is all one way, and I know
that nothing would inluce the people
in my cection of the country to
change their vie we as to the practical
results achieved by Schley at Santiago.
They do not consider the tactical mis
doings of Schley prior to the battle, and
they attach greater importance to what
J)ewey says in his brief report than
they do to the findings ot the other
members of the court.
"There would be a division of opin
Ion among the. friends and the enemies
of Schley, In spite of a congressional
investigation. Therefore I cannot see
how either Admiral Schley or the navy
can be benetitted by prolonging a
controversy which never need have
been started."

The Manchester Press, which is just
now discussing tariff revision, replying
to a contemporary which holds up the
steel trust as an example of tariff op
pression, makes the following state
ment:
"It Is true that steel and iron pro d
ucts have advanced materially in price
but It has been conclusively shown that
the advance has been caused, in a great
measure, by tbe unprecedented demand
for these products incident to the extra
ordinary industrial activity of tbe time."
It must be that the Press editor
wrote tbe above sentence abstractedly
While his mind was mainly dwelling
upon greater phases of tbe sacred pro
tective policy of which he is a valiant
champion As an economic proposition
increased demand and increased pro
duction does not and should not in
crease the price of manufactured pro
ducts. On tbe other band, tbe raw
miterlal'belng plentiful, increased de
mand should result in cheaper prfces
for the finished products. Factories
that are working tbeir men aud ma
chinery to tbeir utmoBt capacity and
facilities, are issuing tbeir products at
ihe least possible tax upon Invested cap
ital, and consequently may enter a com
petitive market certain of being able
to bold their own. There should be no
advance in prices under such condi
tions.
The United States steel trust needB
no championship at the handB of re
publican newspapers to protect itself
from foreign competition. It ii amply
able to take care of itself. The stu
penduousnesB of this corporation cau
hardly be realized. It not only owns
Its manufacturing plants, but it draws
the ore from Its own mines by its own
lines of steamships and railroads, al
most absolutely controlling tbe market
because of Its ability to control the
article from tbe raw state to the finish
ed article. If there were a scarcity of
the raw material from which iron pro
ducts are made, then tbe statement of
Ibe Press would be good, but tbe cor
trary Is the fact Great beds of iron
ore are being brought to light nearly
every week in the United States and
Canada, almost limitless in quautity
and mined at a trifling cost.
Tbe iron industries of the United
States were wisely fostered and bene
fitted by tbe protective policy of the
republican party, and they have erown
from an inconsequential infancy to an
amalgamation that baB created one of
the greatest trusts In the world. As
one of tbe combinations of trusts which
are seeking to control the world's mar
kets, the steel corporation is one of the
menances which will have to be dealt
with la the future and economists and
legislators are giving grave consider
ation to the eubject.
Manufacturers, corporations nor
truBts are more entitled to usurious
profits than Is the money lender to
uaurous Interest upon his gold. If the
iron manufacturer can invade foreign
markets and undersell his competitor,
then he Is still more capable of doing
as well at borne. It Is unjuBt to hlB
borne patron that by means of a pro
tective tariff he Is rendered excusable
for charging the latter an
profit.—Hopkinton Leaderi^.-,,

'.C ~. W
The Most Profitable Horses For Farm
ers to Raise.
[Tho following a paper road before the
Delaware County Fnrmo's Institute by J. C.
Nelman.
Here is a subject that has engaged
the attention of farmers for many
years, a subject that has been discussed
by many shrewd farmers for the last
decade with diversity of opinion.
Many yearB since, the prevailing opinion
was that the general purpose horse was
the horse for the farmerB to raise and
what they called the general purpoee
horse was an old fashioned horse, about
1,200 pounds, rather leggy, plain in con
formation, usually long in the back,
with light bone, a sort of a half way be
tween the driver and the work horse,
therefore hardly suitable for either
uses. This horse the farmer used for
workiag and to drive on the road, and
called him a very good horse. No doubt
this kind of a horse answered the pur
pose of years ago, but circumstances
have changed a different demand has
arisen. This kind of a horse at the
present day is the most unprofitable
horse tbe farmers can raise. He is no
market horse, and proves a poor In
vestment when ottered for sale, lie is
not sought after as a farm horse any
more. The idea of a general purpose
horse was exploded long ago. The
farmer wants class horses of the better
quality, higher class. What is known
as Class No. 3, the omnibus or express
horses, Class 4, the light and heavy draft,
is a far superior horse for the farmer in
all general use, and is also one of the
two most salable classes of horses that
is ottered in all markets, both for ex
port and all American uses, and is two
of the strictly class horses that are in
strongest demand, and sell readily for
the best prices. These are two very
profitable classes of horses for farmers
to
raiBe.
A great change has come over us in
these later yearB. During the last ten
years the horse industry has been en
tirely revolutionized. Since '93, the
great export demand has been introduc
ed, for the best classes and quality of
American horses, and this demend
which has been the life of our trade,
hsB been the great outlet for our horse
market, and at the same time has fixed
specific type and demand for export.
The American demand has eo changed
the evolution of tbe last ten years, as
since the early UO'e, the same classes
that are in demand for export'are the
only kinds that are profitable to raise,
for American as well as export, mar
kets. ..This great evolution of the last
t^n years, has cbanged'tbe whole' horse
breeding problem, and although a cost
ly leBson to the farmers and breeders of
horses that had large stocks on hand ,at
that time, has not been altogether
without Its benefits.
It bas taught us one continual leBson
for all those years while this change has
been going on that horses must be bred
strictly of tbeir own class,and every class
a distinct type of its class, and any vari
ation from strictly class system, means
failure in horse raising. While in form
er timeB breeding was done promiscous
ly, without proper training or fore
thought, of the kind of horse the mar
ket demanded, and in this way all kinds
of horses were produced, from the best
down to the inOBt worthless, small,
plain, ordinary and rough horses, com
prised the larger percent of the num
ber of horses bred and raised.
The effects of this promiscous bleed
ing without any system of forethought
can be Been ail over our country. True
the class horses of the better quality
have been culled out by horse buyerB,
and bave gone to market, but the
scrubs, culls and misfitq are still left in
tbe conntfcy. -iJut a very small percent
of horBes all oVer the country, far and
near, that are now left on hand, will
ever make market horses. Breeding
has commenced now in a small way
throughout the country, on a more true
principle, and farmers and breeders
bave a few young ones coming on, that
they have started right, or started on
the class system, and will be high class
horBes when old enough to market. At
the same time wherever you find horses
throughout the whole country that
have Bge, enough for the market, as a
rule you will find the most worthless lot
of culls that the country could be infest
ed with. Go into any part of the horse
raising section through tbe middle
west, and you will finda very low grade
of aged borses, that is aimost a disgrace
to the farm they are owned on. Go to the
best horse raising sections tn Kentucky
and Tennessee, and there you will find
a very small percent of the right kind!
and class of borses, tbe balance being
the most worthlees lot of culls that are
eating up the feed that ought to be
used in raising and feeding a better
class of stock.
But tbe farmers have had a severe les
Bon and are beginning to profit- by It by
breeding a better class of horses. Their
experience has taught them that every
horse should be bred of a certain type
and of specilio class, with all the size,
shape and quality that the market de
mands. The Bmall horse is a thing of
the past. He has proven a very unsat
isfactory Investment. Tbe grade has
been raised higher every year during
the last few years, and each successive
year requires a larger horse, and one of
better quality to meet tbe demands of
the market, and he must be a horse of
his own class, an up-to-date market
horse.
Farmers' institutes and breeding as
sociations for tbe last few years have
taken up this Bubject, and tbey have
done a most wonderful good work, and
breeders of all kinds of stock have been
aroused to a sense of duty to the great
benefit of improving their flocks and
herds, and especially the farmers who
have seen by their past failures, that a
different method is required with more
system. The old system of raising
.usurious sorub horses was so unprofitable. The
new system of raising class horses of
MANCHESTER, IOWA, WENDESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1901. VOL. XXVII--NO. 52.
the highest quality they could possibly
produce, is proving very profitable. No
kind of domestic stock will begin to pay
the profit that a high class horse will,
if bred and raised and matured for
market of the proper quality,it strictly
good horse of bis own class. The in
terest that is be'ng taken by farmeis
throughout the country, in the breeding
of good horses, no doubt will result iu a
few years, in a great deal higher class of
borses, than there ever bas beeu seen in
this country betore. It Is a well estub
lished fact, and acknowledged by all
dealers, that all borses to be most eulu
ble and profitable, must be bred and
raised and fitted for tbe market, decid
edly of one of the following clusseB,
which are'known as the export classes
of horstr, and at the same lime tbey
are the moBt salable and pruiitabie fur
all American markets, aud any horse
that is strictly of one of the following
classes, will prove a good investment
when put upon the market:
Class No. 5, tbe American trotter or
road borse.
Here is a type set for the farmer to
produce. A proper study of these types
will aid the farmer to meet the de
mands of all markets. Tbe great secret
of success in breeding horseB for tbe
market is lint to know what the market
demands to know what tbe market
borse is. Before going extensively into
tbe breeding business, tbe farmer
should post himself on ail the points
that make up a good traiket horse, and
also on the different classes that the mar
ket demands, that he may make no mis
takes and breed strictly tbe market
borse, of a specific class and type, and
for a particular use, and be sure that
tbey are of tbe kind that is in strongest
demand when be comes to market.
Tbe breeder engaged in the live stcck
industry, to secure the top prices in the
open market, for his finished product,
should well consider tbe price tbat his
goods will bring, when In proper con
dition for the mar et, for what tbey
bring in tbe market, determines the
proband loss on the investment.--
Tn nearly all tbe industries a special
course of education is necessary before
embarking la tbe business. The mod
ern druggist must be a professional
pharmacist the surgeon must be en
dorsed by a diploma from some medi
cal college, to obtain tbe confidence of
bis clients. But in raising borees for
the market too many have engaged in
the enterprise witb no previous train-
Ing or experience. Under such condi
tions it iraio marvel that so many nov
ices have failed In the breeding Indus
try. Theifarmer should realize that hiB
model Is the market horse, which fills
tbe publio wants and is iu urgent de
mand.
The breeder should visit the open
market and learn the type of animal
tbat sells for the best prices, and having
decided tbe kind of a horse to breed,
strive by undaunted perseverance and
methodical elections, to produce a per
fect horse of tbat particular clsss. A
correct ideal and continuity of nrpoce
are neceBsary to acheive success in
breeding tbe market horse. The
farmer should not attempt to conduct
an establishment comprising the whole
range of borse breeding, but concen
trate his capital and energy in breeding
the highest standard type of one of the
special classes. The breeder should
conBult his finance and natural inclina
tion when choosing the kind of horse
he would raise, lie muBt be inspired
by an inate love of bis art, aud possess
an intuitive reception of bis model
animal tbat be is striving to produce, or
he will not acbeive success. He must
be an enthusiastic student of tbe animal
kingdom, and bave a humane concep
tion of tbe comforts and natural wantB
of the youngters In his charge, or tbey
will never develop Into extra choice ani
mals tbat top tbe market.
Now here is the parting of the wajs
which the breeder of the market horse
must choose, what class of horses he de
sires to produce for tbe market, wheth
er it be of tbe harness class, or whether
it be of class No. 3, tbe omnibus or
express horse, or class No. 4, tbe heavy
draft borse. For tbe average farmer
who wishes to raise horBes for the mar
ket, I believe there is no more profit
able class of horseB for him to produce
than the heavy draft. The breeding
stock to produce tbem is available. If
he wishes to raise draft horses for the
market, he will llnd it most profitable
to raise feed, and fit the heavy draft
horseB for the market. If he haB not
the proper kind of mares to produce
tbem,he can readily buy them. Two hun
dred and fifty or three hundred dollars
will buy a first-class draft mare, which
should not weigh less than 1000 to 1800
pounds. This mare should be of the
proper conformation, good bone, style
and action, should be very active and
quick on her feet, the best disposition
and perfectly sound, above all be free
riom side bones, and a first class mare
every way, with all tbe quality he wish
es to produce, medium or dark gray no
objection. Then mate her witb the
best horse available be sure, if posBible
to select one with all the quality and
size that you wish to produce. In this
way you should raise a colt that when
matured should make a market horse
tbat usually weighs from 1800 to 2200
pounds. This kipd of a colt is very
salable at any age, from one to five
years old, and if well cared for, with all
thjs feed necessary from his mother's
milk nntil he Is right for the market,
