Milling Public at geod prices, and then all at once came a period during which even the best Were seareelyvsalcoble, and in- ferior stock could hardly be given tV way. This state of things was due largely toover production, the indis- criminate breeding ot unsuitable anim- als, and the substitution ot'elcctric tor horsepower on streetcars. The re- salt was that the majority ot farmers gave up the breeding ot horses, and many ot those who continued in the business, became careless in regard to the sort of sires they used. 't'heiav portation of high-class‘stallions almost ceased, and the trade became general- ly demoralized. During the past two or three years, business has been gradually reviving. The scarcity of good horses, due to the Cessation in breeding, caused a rise in prices, and the requirements ofthe Army in South Africa increased the demand. While this increased demand has affected all clasSes of horses to a certain extent, there are some classes that are, much more profitable than others tor breed- ers to raise. The tirst question for the breeder to decide is what sort oi horse will bring him in the best returns. Success in the breeding of live, stock must bu measured by the actual value of the products, and the protits that may be derived therefrom. Give our Breakfast Food a trial. livvry budness seems to hav'e its times ut prosperity, and its times of adversity. _ For a number of years, Canadian horses met with a ready sale The draft horse IS undoubtedly the I most protitable sort that the farmer can breed. Good heavy horses weigh- ing iron) 1500 upwards, and ot good quality, are likely to meet with ready sale for Some time to come. By breed- ing a good mare to a heavy Clydes- dale or Shire stallion, a tanner is reasonably sure ol securing a colt, that at five years old, will bring him non less than $125 oo. Besides this there is less risk of a heavy colt getting blemished. A blemished colt of the lighter breeds, cannot be sold exeept) at a soeritiee, whereas on a horse em- ployed at slow work, such as teaming, a blemish is not such a disadvantage. Moreover it the blemish is pronounced, the tanner will still have a good usetul animal for his own farm work, and in the muse ot a mare, he can profitabl y |use her tor breeding, if the defect is not hereditary. The active, 11pstand- l ing, Clydesdale, type, such as is found _ in the Highlands ot Scotland, is, in my i opinion, the most suitaple horse tor the general farmer to raise. These horses are tractable, and easily broken, and while awaiting sale can be readily used for anv sort ot harm wdrk, thus paying for their keep, which the fancy horses rarely do. R, McGowan. ll()ilN%il)lli(l fOR Mfll: Carriage and saddle horses of the best type wilt always sell for good prices, both in the United States and Great Britain. We often hear of the high prices paid for a fine carriage team or a hunter. but of course the farmer does not get prices like these. They are only Cot alter weeks and per- haps months ot training and fitting in the hands of dealers. The farmer sel- dom has time and the necessary know. ledge of t.rainp.gyuyl 't.tiymrg!g,", so We have just added a new line of cleaning Ma- chinery - Suction from Rolls, Steamer for steam- ing wheat and “a are now prepared to furnish a fine grade of Flour.

Still the l dealer, as a rule, pays the breeder a. fair price, and so long as he does it, it I will pay to raise such horses. The best carriage horses are sired by Thoroughbred, Hackneg. and occas- ionally by Coach and tudard-bred, atailions. The Thoroughbred pro- duces the best style of carriage horses, when the mares have tsutBeient size, and good quality. I Military horses have lately been very much in demand, but there is some doubt as to the pal-mummy of this market, at prices which will prove Jeyttit to the Ey?ete: We have also got our now Chopper in first class running order and have a large quantity of chopped corn, wheat, Nc. on hand. w... r.-_-_--_ -- _ Formerly, there were only two claw of ham purchased by Great Britain for military purposes, viz t - those for cavalry and those for artillery. Now however, there is a third clue tor To The mounted infantry. This is the light- enelass of the three, the animals ranging in height from 14.1 hande to 15.1 hands. Cavahy horses must measure from 15.U hands to 15.3} hands, and artillery horses trom 15.2 to 16 hands. Major Dent, who has purchased most of the Canadian horses tor South Africa, gives the following description of the necessary qualifiers - tions: - 'The stamp of hose re quired for artillery purposes is a bloeky Sort oi horse, with as much breeding and lune as possible. The cavalry horse is of a lighter type, with good shoulders, loin and neck. The mount- ed Infantry Cubs are miniature horses. The best stamp I have come across is the French Canadian, the only iault in their case being often a shortness of rein, (neck). The type of horses, for whatever branch ol the, service requir- ed, should be thatoi the English Hunt- er, with short legs, short, cannon bone, good shoulders, backril) and loins, and the more breeding combined nith strength the better. That I think are most needed to produce this type, are good thoroughbred sires, not over it; hands, compact horses with plenty of bone and action." It is highly desirable that none but the best class of registered st, llions be used. There are far too many Interior horses in the country now, and if our farmers breed to grade. oreheap pure- bred stallions. no improvement will be possible. The big, sound, active Clydesdale will probably give the best results on heavy mares, nnd the Thots oughhred on good strung mares of the lighter sort. Mares with considerable warm blood are most desirable fur breeding to a Hackney or Coach Stal- lion. The passing of this great mun has called forth expressions of grief and regret over the.whole empire. The. best condensation of his work, and his life appeared in the Witness last Thurs- day Lid we give it herewith l "In the death of Cecil Rhodes the empire loses its most picturesque and one of its most considerable figures. The son of a country clergyman (m, strangely, sn many of Britain's 'empire builders’ _ _ _ ' . I , . - ”Al, - -- J iiiiireuel/n), and sickly in youth and threatened with consumption, he passes away at the early age of forty-nine at rhe close of a titanic rare-er. While seeking health and washing diamonds at Kimberley. he seems to have mapped out his course, which was 'to weld the Finally it is of the greatest import- ance that the f6al shall be well fed, as the best of breeding will avail little. it the young animal is allowed to suffer in" lack ot proper feed and care. Good breeding and good feeding must go hand in-hand, if a success is to be made of the business of horse-breeding. F. W. Hodson, Live Stock Commission“. scattered fragments of South Africa into a coherent whole,' to fedurnte the ditfevent states into a mighty portion of the British empire. and ‘lo paint Africa red'. His thoughts moved in a large orhit. He was composed of the sumo moral elements we other men. not, all bad or all good, but these were exagger- ated by the greatness of their scope of operation. Hts work, for the empire has been immense. and he will rank in history with Clive and Wavren lla- stings, and perhaps he will be credited with mole singleness of purpose than either of these. On the other hand. he will be. compared with Gordon, who was an inspiration to him. as the body is compared with the spirit or the real with the ideal. His public career came to an end With the Jameson raid. al- though it seems certain that Kimberley would have fallen had it. not been for his presence and initiative. Such a fall would have had great, if not, appalling. results. so that this last. service to the emptle. given as one of its cttizenl. is not to he meanly regarded. He seems to have had no sense of personal fear, and his burial in the Matuppo Hills, in Rhodesia. will always recall that fine tact. certainly one of the finest in his- _ tort by which he brought the Matabele war to an end. Like all great men, he i had the most devoted friends and the bitterest enemies. who judged him from extremes. on the one hand asa oorweietureleus, brutal money-maker, and on the other as a mild. pleasant l gentleman of altruistic tendencies. His life's work was done, and it is a monu- l ment to himself such as only one or two [ men in a century have raised. The complexity of his character and the motives for what he did will be as fasci- natirtg to future biographers and his- toria'ns and dramatists as has been the life of Napoleon. If we believe that South Africa will be happiest under British institutions, and that. the undilu- inished authority of the13ritish empire is essential to the world's continued progress. we cannot help admiring the great things that Cecil Rhodes has accomplished. although we must. eon- demn his faults and regret his failings. He stands out from other men like a great headland jutting out to sea from the level land. From a. country village in Hertfordshire to the Matoppo Hills.
