ABOUT TEXAS MUSTANGS.
Not So Many of the Ponies Now Raised
and Used in the Lone star State
as Formerly,

The famous mustangs or bronchos,
while once very popular in the south.
west, are now almost eliminated from
the live stock of this section. They
were popular with the western
pioneers because they were very
hardy, easily kept, and cheap. Texas
once had scarcely any other horses ex-
cept mustangs and Choctaw ponies,
but that pioneer age has passed. Since
the organization of the Texas state
fair, the horses, in common with all
other live stock in Texas, have greatly
improved The fair itself has been the
principal factor and incentive to the
improvement of Texas horses. In the
earlier years of the association the
heavier breeds were largely exhibited
here. Then the heavy draught horses
of the Clydesdale, Norman and Perch
eron types were seen in quite large
numbers. Of late years, however, the
tendency seems to be toward the
lighter breeds mostly, such as Cleve-
land bays and American trotter. The
last-named breed is particularly in
favor in Texas just now, and the fair
exhibits this year of horses (Outslde
of race stock consists almost wholly
of high-bred trotters and saddle ami
mails. There are a number of fine stall
lions, mares, and geldings of these
classes on exhibition, many of which
are young animals, colts and two
year-olds. No true lover of horsefesh
(not for eating purposes, however),
should fail to see these handsome
equines, says the Dallas (Tex.) News.
1t seems that the drain made upon
our country for horses by the Spanish
American war and war in the Trans
vaal has caused a dearth of desirable
animals. The demand for family
horses" is unusually good, and the en-
ergy of breeders seems to be now es-
pecially directed to high-bred Ameri-
can trotters. 1t seems that this class
of horses is paying the breeder much
better at present than any other. The
1arge-sized trotter is elicfting much
interest from the farmers as well as
from the town people. Many farmers
are buying them for breeding pur-
poses, seeing good money in this high
~ popular class Of horses.
The sales. of these animals are by no
means confined to Texas buyers,
either. They are being purchased by
horse fanciers in many parts of the
union, for Texas horses have fine
reputation abroad as we'll as at home.
Many good sales of saddle and harness
animals are being made daily at the
fair.
AS an evidence of the high quality of
the American trotters at the fair this
season, So, 500 was offered for year
ling colt and So, 500 for two-year-old.
It takes fine stock to command such
prices as these anywhere.

INSURING AUTOMOBILES.
Owners Seeking Means Of Protection
Against Legal Damages Aris-
ing from Accidents.

Several insurance companies have
recently undertaken to insure owners
of automobiles against damages
which may be found against them as
the result of accidents to individuals
or to horses or other property arising
from the use of horselesS carriages,
SAYS the New York Times. The poll
cies are issued to cover losses in a
single instance, and are made out
either for $4,000 or $4,000. Should
the owner of an automobile feel that
there is possibility that he may need
insurance against more than one ac-
cident, or that on any single occasion
he may cause damage in excess of $10,-
900. he is permitted to take out what
is designated as san excess liability
policy" at half the original rates.
At present it has been found to be
unwise to offer rates to owners of
steam-propelled vehicles. This dis
tinction is made not because this class
of automobile is in itself more dam
eerous to drivers, or less susceptible
to control, but because it has been
demonstrated by the compilation of
records that more accidents have re-
suited by horses becoming frightened
by the escaping steam than from any
other cause.
An electric automobile may be in
sured against damages to one person
not to exceed $1,000 at rates from $50
to SIS, or a policy providing against
damages secured by a number of per-
sons injured in the same accident will
be issued on the same terms, it being
agreed that the total liability shall
not exceed $4,000. The gasoline auto
mobiles come higher, the rate for the
same amounts of insurance being
from $50 to 500. Automobile delivery
trucks are charged for insurance
against the damages they may do
from SIS to $125. The insurance com
panies, in their accident and liability
departments are still experimenting
with the insurance of automobiles. II
they find themselves to be losers the
rates will be raised.

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
National Government Should Foster
Improvement of Land Well
as Water Highways.

There is no question that bad
roads cost nearly or quite as much
as their improvement would amount
to. Probably there is no locality
which has been to the trouble and eX-
pense of improving it's own roads,
that would not testify that the inn
provement is worth all that it cost.
The market value of Ohio farms has
increased but threetenths of one per
cent. in the last decade. Doubtless a
large part of this retrograde move
ment is due to inaccessilaility during
a large part of the year. 1t has been
estimated that Kansas farmers lost
more than $50,O00,000 in one year
through bad roads. The plan of
building specimen sections as object
lessons to communities in which they
lie, is perhaps the most persuasive
and convincing argument that can be
arranged to educate taxpayers to the
knowledge that road improvement
means money in their pockets even
tually, and will be a good investment.
And when taxpayers get generally
aroused to the equal Importance of
good roads to good water or rail
transportation, then we shall have
our congressional committees har-
arguing and scheming for road i'm
provement appropriations with the
same zeal now displayed in asking
for river and harbor appropriations.
There really is no more reason for
obliging the local communities to
bear all the expense of road build
ing in their vicinities than for re-
quiring the vesselmen to make all
their river and harbor improvements.
The former is just as much public
service and public improvement of
widespread influence as the latter.
It therefore becomes the govern
ment's business to foster the i'm
provement of it's land as well as its
water highways.-Ohio Farmer.

on her ear as most fascinating. De-
veloped, his voice was rich. and mu-
steal, and from the warmth of his
feelings it took on peculiar "head
tones" whose distantly familiar
beauty held her.
She awoke slowly to the sense of
his delightful imagination and won
derful command of phrases. In turn
it was she who was silent and he elo-
quent. He talked of books, music,
pictures, art impressions, bits of life,
all in a modest yet familiar and YER
satile manner that captivated her.
He reverted to his youth and his col
lege associations with Jackson;
spoke of their long and more than
brotherly friendship. He congratu-
lated the absent Jackson on his cir
cumstances as well as on his fine
choice of wife. He hoped they
would always consent to be his dear
est friends. He was alone; the world
was his scene of activity, but their
home would always remain his truest
haven.
Her mind was compelled to grasp
in bounds what he was saying, for
his wonderful voice and the height
ened beauty and nobility of his face
made her deaf at times to his words.
She fell farther back into the com
fort chair, resting b"r eyes on his
face, and was lulled by his tones.
In the midst of his most felicitous
words he laid his hand in friend
ly way upon hers as it rested on the
armchair, and he kept it there mo-
ment.. The action was SO innocently
like that of a brother she was not
sorry he did so; rather, she felt q
tremor from head to foot with the
JOY of it; a suffocating something at
the touch of his fine, warm hand.
Then, with a graceful movement he
arose, and, lifting her hand to his
lips, kissed her fingers tenderly and
respectfully.
She was choking from the swath
of her emotions. She rose also, and,

The Hood.

The blood is life. Wederive from the blood
life, power, beauty and reason, as the doc
tors have been saying from time immemo-
rial. A healthy body, fresh appearance,
and generally all the abilities we possess
depend on that source of life. 1t is, there
fore, the duty of every sensible man to
keep the blood as pure and normal as pos
sible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has
given us a thermometer indicating the state
Of the blood, which appeals to our reason
by giving notice of its impurity. Small erup-
tions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay
any attention, headache, ringing noises in
the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are gen
orally sign that the blood is not in nor
NAL state, but is filled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve our tull
attention. If more attention were paid tc
these symptoms and steps taken to remove
them, then many illnesses from which we
suffer would become unknown, and the hui
man body would become stronger and health
Ter. Attention, therefore, should be paid
to those warning signs, and the blood car
be purified and poisonous distances re
moved from it by the use of DIR. Angus
Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more
than 60 years ago.

DRAINAGE IN ORCHARDS.
Lack of 1t Is Responsible for the
Waiting Away of Thousands
of Apple Trees.

Apple orchards generally do best
on clay soils, and clay soils are the
ones that need most to be drained,
says an exchange. This lack of
drainage is doubtless largely respon-
sible for the failure of thousands of
orchards. The clay soil, even on
hlllsides, holds too much water for
the good of the tree-roots during
wet times, whether those times be in
1all, winter or spring. 1T not lntre-
quently happens that tree is set
out on clayey hillside. 1t leaves
out well, but after that the leaves
dwindle in size and become sickly
In appearance. Finally the cree dies.
We have seen this caused apparently
by heavy rains saturating the clay
SOIL and keeping it full of moisture
during the time when the tree was
attempting to form new rootlets and
root hairs. Examples of this have
come to the attention of the writer
this year in localities that have had
rains every day for about two
months. Poor drainage is appar-
emily the cause.
Summer droughts are given as the
cause of the death of some fruit
trees. Yet if the soil had been thor
oughly drained to depth of three
feet the roots of the trees would
have struck SO deep that drouth
would affect them but little. When
drainage is bad, the roots remain
nearer the surface of the ground,
and so are more injured in the case
of lack of moisture in the surface
soil. Droughts are seldom so severe
as to dry out the ground to depth
of several feet. A hard pan just be-
low the trees is given as the cause
for the failure of some, but in this
case it seems to us that it is really
question of drainage. If the drains
had been put in at the right depth
and the soil broken up under the
trees, no hard pan of any conse-
quence could have existed. Also the
work of the frost on such drained
soil is more complete and way made
for the deeper penetration of the
roots.

Coffee Cure for Horses.

The German naturalist, Martin, re-
lates a case he recently met of horse
which owed its life to coffee. TWAS in
such bad way that it was considered
incurable. and the owner sold the ami
nal for SIS. The animal was then al
most a skeleton and so weak that it
could hardly walk. The man who
bought the horse Immediately began
to treat it with coffee beans, and also
coffee beans ground and mixed with
honey. In a short time the horse be-
gan to improve, and after a few
months it's new owner was offered
$3.50 for it. He told Herr Martin he
had brought round by the same treat
ment many horses which had been
overworked or had lost their strength
and appetit Globe.

KIondike Crop Exhibit .

Those who have thought of the
Klondike as a barren, frozen waste,
incapable of growing agricultural
products, will be astonished to learn
of the fine exhibit shipped from Daw-
son City, which has been shown at
various fairs in the northwest. The
land in that region is fertile, and the
summers, while short, are warm, af-
fording excellent opportunities for
grin farming and grazing. Glover,
oats, rhubarb, celery, cabbage, turn
fps, carrots. beets and potatoes all
make marvellous growths in the short
season. The timber resources and
fisheries are vast. The pine and fir
forests afford a guaranty against a
wood pulp famine and it is believed
that within a short time the output
of the fisheries will equal in value that
of the gold fields.
