NEBULE OF SONG.


Dim nebule OF song.
FIRST, cold star dust in the spirits void.
wtirling with measured sweep the shadows
through,
Then more compact, oentripetsl aud strong,
Swifter and surer and OF warmer hue
Thy brothers wait thee In the blue above.
Far through the silences their songs descend;
Thou, too. shalt join their ancient choir OF love
And send thy light across the paths Of men.
Now the faint music OF the early dawn,
Feeling its way with broken chords and slow,
Then the major resolute and strong,
Surer in conscious strength the measures go.
BIZ; thou, dim dust. that trallest through tss

Bfeasting the waves OF that ulsounded sea,
Swift he the course of thy Triumphant flight
And sweet thy music in the years TO be!

years ago. What may we not accom-
plish if we will but heed the lessons
that have been taught byth mistakes
of the past, when too often unsound
and illmade stations aud mares were
bred because unfit for use or sale, and
legacy of decrepituds and gen.
eral uselessness was q legitimate in
heritance of their progeny. In contra
distinction to these methods let us
choose the very best individual amin ais
from the most pre-potent trottiug fam
lilies, and breed for size, style. sub
stance, soundness, beauty, kindness,
and the ability to trot fast and stay the
distance. Force the survival of the
fittest by the most searching classified
tion and selection, aiming to perpet
tuate no animal that is not a credit to
It's breeder and the family from which
it descends. But, rem ember, however,
that while blood is very important
factor in producing valuable, useful
and salable horse, food is even more
80. 1t is worse than useless to attempt
to breed up unless you intend abun-
dainty to feed up. See how large and
strong and fine you can make your
colts at given age by furnishing such
an abundance Of pasturage and feed as
to always keep the baby fat on the colt
in all of his stages of development.
l reiterate that now is the time to
breed. You can increase your cotton
crop, your corn crop, your wheat crop,
and even your hog crop in a single
season, to meet a special demand, but
it will take six years to materially in
crease your horse crop and get the
goods ready for the market. Take time
by the forelock and more Intelligent
breeding, better methods of care, feed
ana handling, produce what all the
rich hOrsey world wants, the horse of
the century. the best type of the Amer
lean standard bred trotter, and the
horse breeders note will then be as
good as the cattlemen's note now is.
