3. Good. healthy color. clean limbs

4. Between Eve and eight years old.
Q. Weight between 1000 and LOO

10. An ambitious animal.
Sometimes you may pick up a good
horse that weighs less than 1000
pounds, Doc should prefer not 10 take
chances. The height mentioned gives
a chunky, sound horse. that does not

Special Dye Stuffs for Cotton.
Diamond Dyes ths Only Home Dyes thss
Come In Special Cci,rs for Cotton
ana Mixed 8oods.

When you want to dye cotton, or
materials composed OF wool and cot
ton or cotton and silk, be sure to use
the Fast Diamond Dye special colors
for cotton and mixed goods.
The use Of dyes that claim to color
sll kinds Of materials with the one
package. will Only cause ruin and
disappointment. Cotton is q veget-
abe fibre and requires a specisl dye
entirely different from the dye that
is needed to color an animal fibre
like wool. While the imitation dvcs
that claim to color all kinds Of ma-
terials with the one package msy
give fairly satisfactory results on
ribbons and small articles, vet for
carpet rags aud for dress goods and
jackets, and in fact any Of the usual
jobs OF dyeiug. they simply stain the
cotton part and give q siresked or
spotted color that will quickly fade
out when exposed to light.
Diamond Dyes have sixteen special
fast colors for cottor and mixed
goods that never fail to give satis
faction, They cost much more to
make than the imitation dyes, aud
heuce the dealer has to pay more for
them, but the price TO the user IL
just the same as for tho cheap dyes
that have to make deceptive claims
in order to sell their goods.
