ITEMS FOR HoRsEMEN.

AT tSavage & Farnum's Island Home Stock
Farm, Groose Isle, Wayne county, Mich,
there is an instance at the present time Of
the docility and kindness of the Percheron
stallion, trait In which this remarkable
breed of horses excels all others. Their mag.
nifeent stallion Pluviose 1856 (6S3) and lit,
tie 350-pound imported Shetland pony stall
lion, Tom Thumb, live together in the same
box-stall and one Of the most amusing Of the
many pleasing sights and incidents that one
meets with during days inspection of this
splendid stud is to watch the capers and an
tics of these two stations. Pluviose weighs
about 1850 pounds and Tom Thumb about
$50 pounds and they will play and roll In the
straw and nip each other for hours at time
like couple Of puppies, the big fellow al
ways being very careful not TO hurt the little
one. Once in while the Shetland will lose
his temper and go for Pluviose quite lively,
but the sensible Percheron will stand and
look at him with an expression as near to Q
laugh on his face as it is possible for horse
to have, and when the little runt tires him
self out with his hard play he will lie down
on the straw in the middle of the stall and 60
to sleep, and Pluviose will move as careful
ly about the stall to avoid injuring him as a
mare would were it her foal.
