THE vAILY EXAMINER

DECEMBER 28, 1892. Horses That Pay.

A wkITER in the Canadien Live Stock Journal has some most valuable advice to |farmers under the heading ** Horses That

| Pay.” If the farmers will only follow the

dvice ¢ nta'ned therein they will find that chere is much money in it. The writer says :—

‘The past season has taught those a les- son who care to learn it. The sale of Canadian horses in New York city were a veritable eye-opener to those who had not watched the march of events.

**Messrs. Grand, Back and Greenside and two or three ethers have sold by auction in New York, and these and others have within three months sold to New York and Philadelphia custemers here upwards of 500 pleasure horses at prices averaging in the neighborhood of $400. Deducting $100 for duty (where paid by the Canadian ven- dor), feed and fitting expenses, the middle- men have got a net $200 to $300 per animal bred by Ontario farmers ; and, in addition, several cld country beyers have been about picking up exactly the same clasa of horses. ‘Probably we shall be within bounds

lif we say that quite 1,000 riding and driv

ing horses of # grade superior to the street car and omnibus class have left this province for Lower Canada, England and the States between enowfalls, and this in spite of the fact that we have no recogn zad horse breeding districts and no established system of production, but have had to rely wholly on the chance horse found here and there along the concession roads. Two rm flsctions must at once occur to everybody: why Canadian breeders do not all find out the right animal to breed and doit, and why the Americans have to come to Ontario to get the sort of horse that best ministers to the pleasures of their own rich men. The first we are most concerned with, and the second can be disposed of in a few words. The Americans have confined their general breeding ambition to the devolop- ment of the light harness horse or trotter. The Canadians have given some little patronage to the thoroughbred, or b'ood sire ; for where our Ligh-priced horses are not sired by a thoroughbred stallion, enquiry never fails to prove that there was blood in the dam. Riding shoulders in the saddle horse, preity heads and shapely ends in

horses. It is not for us who provide them to enquire into the real value of the high stepper. We areso to speak, behind the counter to‘sell what the folks on the other side of it are asking for, Between high- steppers and light steppers there is as much differance as between the famous razors bought to sell and the humbler blade that will do true and honest work on your chin- stubble.

***(Jrand action,’ is the cry of the auctioneer, and it never fails to elicit a responsive bid. In the parks and streets of a great city knee actors are the desire of every young man who would bewitch the spectators—men who know nothing of the genuine light, long wearing action that is safe without beiag conspicuous.

month, and the other goes on for life. Butno matter, if not useful, lofty action is ornament. al and sells. The majerity of such borses are got by a good trotting stepper out of a_half- bred maré. The hunters, on the other hand, are got by theroughbred sires out of big road maies. And there is a cognate extravagance of ideas with regard to hunters. The youthful American, barnviag to distinguish himself with the Meadowbrook or Radnor hunts, will rana horse up to $700 because he is fwarranted to jump five-feet.six, a height attainable by a Clyde foal, if separa'ed from his dam by an inevitable fence. The youth forgets that to be a hunter a horse must gallop fast enough to live vith the hounds, and that to do that he must be by a thoroughbred sire, or from a dam that was so bred. He must gallop and jump, and mere jumping is rot the infrequent accompaniment of base blood and hairy heels But neither in this case is the American's oversight any business of ours. The jamper selis. And won't our young farmers learn this lesson and feather their nests, while having quite a little fun and interest out of the rearirg of the colt ”

News Notes.

A cabinet crisis is impending in Portugal.

Disease among cattle is spreading in Ger- many.

The Hudson river above the State dam is frozen from shore to shore.

Rumors are afloat that Brazil proposes to divide Paraguay with Argentina.

Forty head of live stock will be sent by Manitoba to the Chicago World’s fair.

Robbers are overrunning the province of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and the police are powerless.

A break in the English cotton lockout is expected to occur next week. It is said several mills will start upon half time.

The Globe’s London, Eng., correspond- eut cables that prices for apples at Liver pool are wesk,except for a few really choice Canadian shipments. Baldwins average from 11 to 15 shilliogs.

The excitement in France caused by the Panama disclosures continues to increase It is now stated that 100 checks bearing the signatures of senators and deputies have been secured.

According to the statements issued by the liquida’ors the enormous sum of $260, 000,000 has been expended by the Panama Canal Company. Of this sum $17,600,000 went for advertising and taxes.

The Rothschilds are sbout to establish 2 great beer trust in the United States with headquarters in New York. It is very suggestive that the firm that has been spec- u'uting for years on the poverty of nations, is ncw about to speculate in a nation’s

beer.

= LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR. |

The Agricultural Situation.

Sir, —A correspondent of Tuz Examiner, | in a recent issue, congratulates the farmers of this Province ‘ton the good prices re- ceived for their abundant harvest.” Of late, many such statemants have been made | through the press, and we might almost be- ! gin to believe that a goldenage of prosperity | had dawned on the farming mteres's of the | Province. It would be well, however, for | correspondents who assume the right to| speak for the farmers, to acquaint them. | selves with the facts of the case, and we} would hear less of 10,000,000 bushei potato | crops, abundant harvests, good prices, and | similar exaggerations. }

On diilgent enquiry, and from our own | personal knowledge of the facts, we believe | the following to be a fair estimate of the} crop retvras fur the eastern section of the! Island: Potatoes, a two-third crop and | considerably affected with rot, The tubers! theugh large were unusually scarce, and, 823 does not constitute quantiuy. Oats, fifty per cent. short, and of inferivr quality. Wheat, less than halfa crop. Roots, forty | per cont. short. The hay crop alone was slightly above the average, but the growth | of straw was extremely short, and the farm- | ers are seriously threatened with a scarcity | of fodder.

We come next to consider the question of prices. Oats, of which the supply was | never before so small, are now quoted st 30) cents. Pvutatoes, which are practically the | only thing the farmer has for export, have | ranged from 20 to 25 cents per bushel. With a half crop of the former article, and the shortage in the latter still further in- creased by one-third of the | croup being rotten, we leave every) intelligent person to calculate the margin of profit left to the farmer. Nor does it appear on enquiry of trades- men and others, that smali debts are being paid with more than usual punctuality, | on the contrary, complaint 1s general, that | collections are hard to make; and if} obligations for greater amounts are being | met more promptly, it is due to the fact / that the year has been one of retrenchment | and economy, complaint being made by) some dealere of sales being reduced by one third, the farmers being compelled by a

The causes producing this state of affsirs are both general and Jocal in their nature. Miny of them operating from without, are beyond the farmer's control, while others are within his own power to remedy.

The general causes may be assigned as follows : —

(1) Increased compatition, through the development of the West. (2) A succession of four bad years, in which there has-been a partial failure in one or more of the staple products.

(3) Taxation; however adjusted, or by

whatcver system imposed, taxation 1s ultimately borne by the working classes.

(4) The growing selfishness of the age; the desire for increased wealth and large profits by all classes, and by which the farmer is squeezed to the limit of existence, illustrating the truth of the Chinese proverb: ‘*The big fish eat the little fish, the little fish eat shrimps, the shrimps eat mud.” Neel we say that the farmers are the mud eaters /

The local causes may be distributed as follows :—

1. Exhaustion of the scil by over-crop- ping and bad farming.

2 The increased cost of labor.

3. Extravagance ; witness the number of covered buggies, orgaas, pianos and such supeifluities purchased on credit to the exclusion of tools and implements more necessary to the farmer's calling.

4 Lack of method and system in con- ducting the farm.

5. Weste and neglect, especially of machinery. The reaper, standing at mid- winter iu the open field, with its arms pointing to the four quarters of the heavens, is a picturesque sight, and one to rejoice the heart of the manufacturer but not calculated to profit the farmer.

6 Lack of cooperation. Under this division may be cited the petty jealousies that appear to exist more largely among farmers than in any other class.

We come now to consider such remedies as lie within the farmer's reach.

1. Improved methods.

2. Retrenchment and economy.

3. Co-operation and organization. The farmers remain the most disorganized class of society ; have practically nothing to say in fixing the prices of what they buy or sell, and are compelled to throw their stuff on the market as a bankrupt throws his stock — for whatever it may bring.

4. The collection by the Local Govern- ment of crop statistics, a plan that would work to the benefit of both farmer and trader. We had almost forgotten to enumerate among the causes of depression the too extensive use of the credit system, as well as the army of agents who have overrun the country, inducing the farmers to buy what they did pot want and could not afford.

The matter might be pursued indefinitely, but sufficient has been shown to prove that the farmer is by no means a happy avd pros perous individual, abounding in wealth and bloated as a bond holder; nor is he such an ass as to credit those who would have him believe it to be the case. Exaggerated statements of presperity and progress, and similar distor.

ions «f fac s, are nut calculated to benefit the interes's of the Province, and proceed only from newspaper and political farmers who would sterve on a hundred acre farm.
