TIMELY BIT OF ADVICE.

In these times of grip and pneumonia
it is of great Importance that we should
know where to look for safe and sure
remedy. A slight cold may become IA
serious one, the scarcely noticeable
pain in the chest is too often the fore
runner of pneumonia. The first cough
may lead to consumption Ga cough is al
ways dangerously. Never neglect IA cold
or cough for even one day, but get at
once, as safe and sure remedy, Kemp's
Balsam, the best cough cure, which is
recommended on all sides. 1t should be
kept in the house regularly to avoid de-
lay when needed. 1t is sold at all the
drug stores. 50-2t.

DOES SIT PAY TO RAISE HORSES ?

This question was asked at the Far
mers' institute in Michigan and the fol-
lowing statistics were presented in an
swer:
According to the report of the secre-
tary of agriculture for 1892 the average
valuation was SCI %. Would it be more
profitable for farmers to raise horses
than to raise milch cows with ali average
valuation of S2l.75. or oxen and other
cattle that average Sl5.24? In settling
this question. the cost of breeding and
length of tine a horse must be kept
must be considered. 1t may seem lit
tie discouraging on account of the small
demand for horses just now, and while
the low price may be partly accounted
for by the increase in the number OF
horses in 1893 over 1892, there are other
causes for the low prices of horses. In
1893 there were l6, 20G,s SOP horses in the
Uritcd States, being an Increase of 1OS,-
oG2 over the prericds year. The de-
crease in the average price of horses was
S379. This will make many quit raising
colts, but it is good rule to begin rails
ing when Others quit the business.
Iowa owes much of her prosperity to
the sale of her horses, the average price
of horses being SGl.34. the total valua-
ton $50. OH .533. In Georgia the average
price is SSl.G0, whole valuation Ss,5G2,-
DOS. In Kentucky the average is SGSl3.
whole value, S27 ,9G3.2 24. If the cotton
States would buy more mares and less
mules, and raise more horses. ii would
add wonderfully to the wealth of these
States. While 1t is some bother TO have
colt and work the mother at the same
time, the profits would more than make
up for the trouble.

RUNNERS AS TROTTlNG PROGEN
TORS.

A remarkably high class OF horses
were contending fol the purse of 1917,
and it was in this year that Sir Archy's
get first attained prominence, Timoleon
being esteemed as good "A horse as ever
ran He won two stakes at the Charles
ton meeting, one of them three-mile
heats, in :5l1 and SOP, in which he
defeated Bland, Lycurgus, Black-Eyed
Susan and Lady Jane. Timoleon was a
great grandson of English Eclipse and
greatly resembled the famous horse, il
is said.
Lady Lightfoot. four-year-old by
Sir Archy, made a phenomenal record
by winning three days out of four. In
the first race she defeated Black-Eyed
Susan, Young Lottery. Lady Jane and
Orlando at two-mie heats in 3 30, 3 90
and 3d. She won the second easily
in 3 :56 and 3 80, and in the third de-
feated a grand field in Transport, Little
johnny. Maria and Merino Eve, all
winners, Transport, only three days
previous, having won at four-mile
heats. Lady Lightfoot won the race in
two heats, run in 3 :54 and :53. This
celebrated mare within five days won
no less than six heats, amounting to
fourteen miles. Gen. Wynn. her owner,
said of her. "Of all the nags | ever saw
she was the safest and best at any dis
lance, having the best and most uniform
notwithstanding very fleet and of the
most perfect bottoHi.' She was in con
slant training from three years old to
eleven years of age, and by computa-
tion made at one period of her career,
of l9l miles she had run she won l50.
Gen. Wynn also owned the three
year-old TimOleon. 1t is said he only
lost two races during his brilliant career,
wherein he met and conquered the best
horses in Virginia and Carolina. lie is
said to have run the mile at Petersburg
in AZ and two-mile heats in 3 :49, 8 AZ
and AS. Wynn believed him to be
superior to any horse that ever ran on
any course in the United States.

A three-year-old appeared 10 1924 that
put all other youngsters In the back
ground. The first day Of the meeting he
received forfeit; the third day he de-
feated field of aged horses, fOur-mile
heats. aud three days later won at three
mile heats, defeating Creeping Kate,
and three days later he met his first de-
feat, for he fought alone and unaided
against field of four. Fairfield won
the first heat, Creeping Kate dropping
just within the distaaee. Kate then won
the next heat and Fairfield laid up. The
third heat was Il terrific struggle between
Kate and Bertrand, terminating in the
latter's favor, he winning the heat in

heats, was sent for the fourth, which he
won.
The next year Bertrand was on hand
as usual aud won AT four-mile heats.
Three days later he met strong field
in Arastus and his old opponent. Creep
ing Kate. These two horses had both
won races at the meeting and were in
fine fettle. As they were both owned
by the same man they naturally laid up
alternately, the trick which defeated
Bertrand the previous year. After a
sharp struggle Arastus beat Bertrand
by head for the first heat. Creeping
Kate then came on and won the next
heat by half length. In the next heat
gameness told and Bertrand defeated
Kate. Arastus now took up the con
test and forced noble Bertrand to the
utmost of his powers. but the latter

distress, came again and WOO on the

races at the Charleston meeting. Thirty
five thousand dollars WAS offered and
refused for him that year. HIS best

horses of his day.-[Live Stock Record.

WlNTERING HORSES.

As regards the most rational. and
therefore the most judicious treatment,
the amount of muscular and adipose
tissue possessed by the animal in pro-
portion to its size and the work it is ex-
pected to do when commencing the
winter, should be taken into considera-
ton, as some only require building up
gradually; but as rule most animals
when retired for the season are, so far
as condition is concerned, about at the
standard but this is not always the
case; nevertheless. the exceptions are
worth mentioning, if done ever so casual
ly.
The food the individual is supplied
same as that of the aggregate; they re-
quIre shelter. attendance, etc. Still the
diff renee in caring for animals intended
| for unlike purposes is worth mentioning.
In all cases the object in view is to ac-
quire the maximum of strength and
buoyancy of spirits with the eXpendi-
ture of the minimum amount of money
and labor.
Keeping an animal in condition, as
we understand it. means keeping him in
state in which the body and limbs are
in their most healthy condition, the
muscular system being such as 20 fit
him for the particular kind of work for
which he is intended, and capable of the
greatest amount of eXertiOn consistent
with the least exhaustion possible. This
can only be accomplished by strictly
following rules laid down for the pur-
pose of observing hygienic perfection as
far as possible, to the accomplishment
of which the quantity and quality and
kind of food should receive strict atten-
ton. He should have good grooming,
good food and proper exercise.
Leaving generalities. and going more
into detail, we should say SO far as re-

they are in good working condition,
they should receive about three quarts

ground together. This character of
food tends to keep up the flesh, strength,
muscle, ETC., is very nutritious, and is
easily digested. We would advise Civ,
ing few carrots at noOntlme, or three
times each week. The quantity of good
hay should be about seven pounds
daily, but the size and appetite of the
animal must be more or less consulted
Rock salt ought to be placed in the
manager so that the horse can lick it al
will. We are as much opposed as most
people to the administration of medicine
unless when absolutely called for; still
when any cutaneous eruptons are visi
bic, or if the animal should be of hi,
feed or have any difficulty in mlcturat
ing, little medicine may be beneficially
given. In the former case an aloe bal

A stout gettleman well on to 60 years
was IN the throug of Saturday afternoon
visitors at the Produce Exchange baths
yesterday afternoon. He told everybody
that he'd had hard week. He said he
was bank president. All the attendants
seemed to know him. He knew all the at
tendants too They were Tom and Jim
and Pete to him.
He wanted everybody to understand that
he'd had hard week. Every newcomer
was corralled and impressed with the fact.
Then he said he wanted some one to take
his hand and wade through the pool with
him. The pool il 30 feet long and 10 feet
wide, with feet of salt water He wanted
to wade In, new summer suit and all. 1t
would rest him and make him forget his
hard week, he said, If somebody would
take his hand and wade in with him.
It'll make me feel like boy again."
said the alleged bank president.
I'VE used to wade il clothes and all

peal was not needed.
While he was looking for some one to
take his hand and wade, in walked young
man also in new summer suit. The young
man wore silver bowed spectacles He is a
graduate of Yale. He peered over his spec
tacles ut the old fellow, who returned the
peer, aud then made his appeal to the young
man.
We'll, old man." said he of the silver
bowed spectacles, II was out pretty late
myself last night. I'll 80 you"
Solcmnly the old man and the younger
man claSped hands and walked to the edge
of the pool. They zigzagged little, but
they stood upon the brink of the pool steady
enough, and banging their hats down upon
their heads they stepped off. The water
was nearly up 20 their shoulders, but hand
in hand they waded the length Of the pool
the bank president smiling and content
ed, and the younger man peering over his
silver bowed spectacles as If in a contem-
plative mood. Not word did they say to
each other The old mans face wore the
expansive smile Of childish delight. The
younger man was solemnly content. They
clambered out of the pool hand in hand,
soaked from shoulders to heels. The old
man shook the hand Of his younger COM
rade and said;
II thank you, sir. You have afforded
me much pleasure"
"All right, old man" said the Yale grad
uate. Amy time you want to wade send

He gave the old man his card, and as the
old man jabbed the limp paSteboard into
| the puddle in his waistcoat pocket he re-
membered his watch. He pulled out a

stopped it and probably ruined it. AS he
came to this conclusion the old man said;

free coinage, that the ratio of 20 to

intrinsic value. This is probably
true; but does anybody want bigger
