the gauntlet or to burn him at the
stake, and many other horrible meas
ures, Skete settled it himself.
Perhaps it was the supper, perhaps
the friendly stretch of the majestic
mountains heavenward that recalled
the old home in Virginia and the old
plantation days and their songs, for as
old memories crowded upon him Skete
forgot the danger surrounding him,
his cruel red foes, and began to sing,
low at first, In soft, Growing way,
but louder and stronger until the old
plantation songs and queer hymns rang
out and echoed through the canyons
The Indian, to whose ear the slight
est sound is distinguishable, to the call
of birds attuned, even the rustic of q
leaf or the football Of the panther
conscious, could not fail to appreciate
the natural sweetness and melody Of
Skete's voice.
Only a very few knew the meaning
OF the words, but every one. little and
big, understood perfectly the music
Skete had been the boss singer in
the old plantation days; many spell
bound audience he mad held, but he
never sang TO so vast a crowd or so APP
preciating a crowd before.
The children and squaws first began
to draw near, and then the braves.
Skete at last became conscious OF
his surroundings and his audience, and
with new Undesirable hope in his
heart, he fairly outdid himself
At last, when all the old plantation
songs had been sung, he took up the
hymns his Young mistress used to sing
TO her father. and when they were ex-
hausted he began to whistle the waltzes
and Instrumental pieces she played on
the piano.
But even they had an end, and Skete
paused at last. A satisfied grunt or
two was the only applause he received,
but it was the best nights singing

The question is often asked, saws w. w.
Hunter, in the National SfOckmaa, espe-
clally by those who have just commenced
breeding good horses: At what age NAV
breed my grade fillies without iniuring
them? When We began breeding draft
horses we visited several large horse breed
ers, whose experience and observation we
thought would be of much use to US. We
found many of them breeding their FLIES
at two years, and when asked for their rea-
son for 80 doing they generally agreed that
perhaps the tlly might not develop into
quite as smooth and shapely a mare as she
might otherwise do, yet they thought she
would make better and more reliable
breeder than if allowed to run until older.
half-blooded FLY would give ? three
quarter blood foal, which at one year old
would probably be worth as much as it's dam
was worth when she was bread. Thus the
mare bred at two years, if she breeds at
three again, which she is likely 10 do, at
four years will have more than paid for her
value at the time she was first bred and for
her keeping for that time. This seems to
us to be good reasoning, and what expert
ence We have had and observation we have
made has confirmed rs in that opinion
Now, we would not recommend breeding
iilly at two years, unless she is well grown
and perfectly healthy, and then she had
best not be worked much until after the
foal is a month or two old, and should have
good care. What has been said, of course,
refers to those who breed to pure bred
stations for the purpose of grading up,
and getting something better every time.
The man who intends to breed TO a horse
which is no better than his mare, had better
let his mare earn her living in the harness
until she IS mature at least. Many farm
ers object to breeding young because
they do not want to spoil nice young
mare by breeding her. That is Just one
reason our horse stock is so far behind
other stock III many localities. The best
cows, ewes, and sows are selected fer
breeders, but often it is the old, broken
down, unsound mare that is bred; and thea
we expect to raise valuable horses. Our
opinion, then, is that the we'll developed
flly or draft blood had best be bread at
two years. We believe then, if we'll cared
for and not worked too much, they will
pay better than any other farm stock.

THE acreage of clover, both for hay and

most every portion of the country. The
area shows a marked advance in many

only sections showing q falling off are the
Middle States and The Ohio Valley, where
unpropitious weather resulted in the freez-

afford to own drill he can hire one, and
the saving In seed will pay for the rent of

use of the drill is that it puts the seed at a
uniform depth below the surface. Do not
change the kind of wheat without good
reason. If variety is highly praised,
