G. G. Thorpe'S Horses.

We visited the stables of the presi
dent of our village council, G.. c..
Thorpe, Monday morning. We found
him busily engaged in caring for his
stock. We told him we came up 10
look at his stock of horses, and he
very courteously offered to show them
to us. We went to the barn and Mr..
Thorpe unfastened, and threw open
the stable door and out pranced no
BILE Superb colt, two years old this
month, weighing 100 pounds, color,
bright bay and a perfect picture of
horse This colt is sired by old Su-
perb, one of the best blooded horses
in this Or any other state. The colts
dam is Hambletonian, one of the
finest in the state. This colt has a
pedigree as long as your arm.
He then opened another door and
out came a dandy gray stallion colt.
Mr.. Thorpe calls him Baprice No. 2
He was sired by Caprice No. l and
will not be two years old until June
and weighs 1400 pounds.
The next is Daisy, a full blood
Hambletonian mare, six yeaas old,
out of the old Archer stock, bred at
Mortified, MINI. This mare has a
foal at her side, sired by Pilot Gold
Dust.
The next shown was Hambletonian
Chief, a six-year-old gelding, color,
bright bay, sired by Hambletonian
Chief. This is speedy looking horse.
Mr.. Thorpe says he has never held
the watch on him yet.
Then comes Birth Day, year old
filly, sired by Dresser's Cleyeland.,Bay,
MIR. Thorpe may reasonably look for
something very fine in this colt, as
the sire has taken the first premium
and sweepstakes at our state fair sew
eral times, while owned by Mr.. Dress
er. The dam is full blood Mambri-
no mare.
He has also four fllies, one Nell

What is the reason that physician
will not endorse good thing when he
knows as we'll as he knows anything that
the article in question has been used for
years and is valuable remedy, but be-
cause it is proprietary medicine they
CRY It down. There is not a prescription
case in any dug store in all this broad
land that does not hold this same aEtille.
Very few if any physicians who do not
prescribe it And yet when this article
is made and sold in larger packages, and
the price is so much below prescription
that is where the shoe pinches. But there
arc physicians who are willing to endorse
a good thing, as the following shows:
| have used quite extensively in my

Glover for indigestion, constipation, dys-

plant Is z5uUJe6. on which there is
much controversy. Good results have
been obtained by planting amy amount
from one eye to the whole potatoe.
have tried all ways and have had
good yields from planting one eye of
large tuhers, with very few small ones;
also very good yields of very few
large tubers and many small ones,
from whole potatoes; but | have had
the best yields of largest number of
large tubers with the smallest number
of small ones. from planting medium
sized potatoes. cut in three OF four
pieces, so as to give three or four
eyes to each piece. In this WAY |
have raised 325, $50 and 525 bushels
to the acre. In my native state, New
Hampshire, have raised $50 bushels
to the acre by manuring heavily in
timothy sod. breaking deep, dragging
thoroughly, marking with plow and
using superphosphate in the hill; and
in Stevens county l have raised 325
bushels to the acre without the use of
any manure or fertilizer of any kind.
One thing more is necessary in
order to succeed, and that is clean
cultivation. Neglect means ruin to
the potato crop. Commence as soon
as the weeds appear after planting,
with the harrow, and when the potar
toes are up 80 that the rows can be
seen use the cultiyator every week
until the blossoms appear. If this
manner of cultivation is not followed
up early in the season you will har-
vest nothing but weeds. l have
learned this by experience.
