High-tempered, sensitive horses are more easily spoiled by too much talk- ing than slow, quiet horses. Too much concentrated food, too generous keep and too nice, comforta- ble stables are often forerunners of disaster to the brood mares. The constitution of the horses may be weakened by making them carry a burden of useless flesh. Keep off sur- plus fat by feeding muscia-producing foods. ! Feed a little oil meal to the horses during the winter. It assists the digestion of other food, liberates the bowels and keeps them in excellent condition. It is a good plan now on the farm to select out a team to do the neces- sary work during the winter. If this is done the other horses will not require as heavy feeding of grain to keep in a good condition. A horse in poor condition recently re- fused to put on an ounce of flesh with usuzl feeding until some steamed cracked corn and a cup of molasses were added to his diet. The corn and molasses were given twice each day, in addition to his oats.

Nctable Activity in Merchant Pipes, Plates and Bars—Big Purchase ! of Bessemer Pig iron. R. G. Dun & Co.’s “Weekly Review of Trade’ says: Business continues to improve, despite the difficulty of low temperature and high prices. Weather conditions have been singularly unpro- pitious, deep snow retarding distribu- tion of merchandise and excessive cold delaying the opening of spring trade and structural work. Yet retailers are making extensive preparations and plans are submitted for numerous building operations. Prospects have improved on the- Pacific coast, where much-needed rain has fallen, and re- ports from the South indicate excep- Buyers continue to arrive at the leading markets, but the volume of trade ig restricted by high prices, particularly for “cotton goods. Railway earnings for. February were 2.2 per cent less than last year, bad weather restricting traffic. It may be said with some degree of assurance that the iron and steel industry has made further progress in the right di- rection and the prospects is brighter than it has been at auy time during the - winter. Gains are small, it is true, and there are several disturbing featurss, yet the presence of purchas- ers in ali divisidms of the market prom- ises® to. restore activity. Certain special branches of the industry are notably vigorous, strength and activity appearing in merchant pipe, plates and bars. A large purchase of Bessemer pig iron was made by the leading in- terest at $13, valley furnace, equiva- lent to $13.85 at Pittsburg. Bradstreet’s says: dustries reports indicate more activ- ity in iron and steel and prices of some grades of iron are firmer, but the iron ore situation is not yet settled; the coke supply is insufficient and a soft coal strike overhangs Western indus- try generally. The agricultural situ- ation on the whole is one of great strength, and a record-breaking acre- age will go into cotton. The fea- tures in iron and steel have been the purchase of nearly 100,000 tons by the leading interest and reports of other sales aggregating as much more. This has had the effect of stiffening mer- chant furnace men’s views and estab- lishing prices at $13 for Bessemer. Finished products return rather more favorable reports. Pittsburg report- ing all modern mills running to their full capacity, while Chicago reports increased sales of bars, steel rails and structural. There is a good demand for pipe and higher prices are looked for. Wire nails are selling freely at the advance and hardware is slightly better at the West. MARE ETS. PITTSBURG. Grain, Flour and Feed.

He has made chronic catarrh a life-long study. * His remedy, popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh in existence. Probably there is not a man or woman, boy or girl, within the bounds of the United States that has not heard of Pe- runa. - By far the largest majority have used Peruna.

Hith- erto the difficulty in welding this metal has been that it becomes brittle and “rotten” when approaching its melting point, but it has ndéw been found that there is a temperature, just below incandescence, where the metal softens sufficiently to make sound welds possible. As the metal does not oxidize at this temperature no flux is required. It is.said that with careful working welds may be produced which cannot be detected by the eye and which are equal in strength to the body of the bar. : 10,0600 Plants For 16e.
