A PAVING

If you could invest or loan a few
dollars that would return to you in
two, three or four years from now two
or three times as great as it is at pres
ent you would consider it a good trans
action. In fact, mOneyed men are
looking out for places where they can
place their money so that it will make
a rate of increase one-haf or O%ne-fourth
as rapid as to double up in three or
four years. The breeder of horses
does not need to study long to find an
opportunity to place his money to as
good an advantage as this. This is
especially true of the breeder who
raises inferior horses.
No man can keep a stallion, give him
the kind Of care he should have in or
der to have the proper influence upon
the produce, no matter how inferior
the animal may be, and charge less
than SO as a service fee. There are
stations throughout the country, per-
hapS, the service fees of which are less
than SO, but the man who breeds to
such horses must expect to lose the
amount he saves in this way by in
ferior condition of the offspring which
naturally follows the neglect and i'm
proper treatment of a stallion when do
ing stud duty. But take $40 as the
price for the service of a grade stallion
or a mOngrel. Add another $40, or SIS
at the furthest, and you can secure the
service of a superior horse. Of course
prices run much higher when it comes
to trOtting or running horses, but the
class that farmers ordinarily breed is
now under consideration. Breed your
mares to the cheaper class of horses,
and when the time comes to put them
on to the market they are worth from
SIS to 500. Say 800 is the average
price. The high-grade horse from the
pure-bred stallion, would have to sell
at but a slight advance to give the in
weston one hundred per cent. on his his
investment within three or four years.
There has been nc time within the past
thirty years that a frst-class horse on
any market in the country was not
ready sale at good prices. That word
"frst-class " must not be lost sight of,
bear in mind, when the qualifications
are given. A horse cannot be first
class without he is bred right. One of
the most successful horsemen in the
country, in reply to the query "How
to make horse breeding profitable, 5"
simply said: Breed and weed and
feed" Breeding was the first consid-
Grafton with him, and it is with every
one who thoroughly understands the
business. Start right that's the point.
Get good blood and then take care of
it. Fhe result will astonish you. In
vest the difference of a few dollars be-
tween the cost of service of an inferior
horse and that of a good one with the
confidence that it will return to you
again two, three or four-fold. One
man can raise valuable horses as we'll
as another. There is no patent or copy
right covering this industry. The field
is open. Do not let the penny before
your eye hide the dollar in the distance.

time the famous Eastern soft shell clam, which
nao oeen successfully transplanted in the San
francisco harbor. was brought from the latter
place and planted in Gray's harbor. For sew
efai years there was no visible evidence OF an
increase of the new variety OF clans but latterlv
tney nave been found in great numbers on both
sioes OF the harbor. To George H Emerson,
resident manager of the Northwestern Lumber
company, credit is due for having first trans
painted the Eastern clam in Gray's harbor. 1t
