THE HORSE BUSINESS.

With the revival of horse breeding
as a profitable industry the fact must
be recognized that there has come a
complete revolution in this business.
The old methods will no longer prove
profitable. We must raise for profit
distinct types of horses for the mar
ket, and not generally all-round use
full horses. We must define in our
minds the different types of horses in
demand, and then work toward the
production of the best specimens of
one or more of these types. These
types, briefly stated, are the road,
carriage and coach horse, the cab
horse, the draft yorse, and the Amer
ican trotter or road horse. One of
these types should be selected in
breeding horses for market, and the
peculiar characteristics of each one
studied a nd carefully understood.
Breeding for a specific class is the
only kind that pays today. The
man who breeds on the old lines is
doomed to failure. His horses will
bring so much less in the market that
there will be no margin left for prof
its. One reason why horses became
a drug in the market ten years ago
was because farmers and breeders pro-
duced a surplus of horses which had
no particular characteristics. They
were not specially good in any line.
Then a demand slowly grew up for
horses which would excel in one par
ticular class, and this has steadily in
creased until today it has become
universal. The evolution in breed
ing has thus made it necessary for
the farmer and breeder to know his
particular class of horses thoroughly.
Promiscuous breeding does not pay,
but special class or type breeding
does. Every horse must be bred for
a particular purpose, and if at the be-
ginning the animal does not promise
any good points for a particular pur-
pose, the sooner you can dispose of
him the better. The small horse,
and the horse of mixed virtues, has
passed forever, and his day will never
return. Breed the large horse that
is useful for particular lines on haul
ing, the road or coach horse which
can travel we'll with a fair load, or
the trotter which can make speed.
In one of these classes every horse
must excel or he cannot bring the
high market prices offered. Pre-
miums are daily offered for the best
animals of any class.-C. l.. Peters,
IN Prairie Fa,met.

STORIES MADE WITH FEET.

Each animal makes its own kind of
track in the mud, snow or dust. No
two make exactly the same. The
track of coon is never like that of a
fox, and the track Of fox is readily
distinguished from that of rabbit or
small dog. And, more than that, the
track of one coon may differ from that
of his own brother, so that one can
sometimes distinguish the track of
given individual and by seeing it on
different occasions get something like
an insight into its life. Thus fa-
nous grizzly in the west was known
by his track. One of his toes had
been cut off by trap, and the differ
ence that made in his track was easy
to see.
To come nearer home, Our common
animals sometimes have unpleasant
experiences with steel traps. The
marks of these on their feet often add
a popularity that identifies the ami
NAL. In other cases the track is ex-
ira large or small or is crooked, but
it always keeps the main features of
its kind. The track of one sort of
animal rarely need be mistaken for
that of another, and the A B c of
tracking is to learn the chief kinds of
footmarks that are to be found in
your region. The way to learn tracks
Is to draw those that you find, always
sketching them right from nature,
never from memory, and it is always
best to make them exactly life size.

WAS VERY MODEST.

A woman in Summerville who was
the possessor Of a solitary piece of
statuary was one evening giving a
party. Shortly before the guests ar
rived she looked through the rooms
to see that everything was in order.

ed place, Lee" she asked of the
old butler, where is my piece of

"Miss Weeny, you mean, ma am :"

THERE DOESN'T seem to be any
doubt" she said, "that women can
withstand more pain than men,"
"Huh p exclaimed the lovelorn man
who had been often rejected "it

THERE is no reason why, with
proper food taken according to sea-
son, at proper intervals and in proper
quantity, men should not live invari-
ably, accidents excepted, to a hun
dred years. In fact, taking the
length of life of animals as a criterion,
this should be the length of life in
men. The length of life of an ami
NAL should be four times the years it
takes for it to arrive at maturity, and,
as man may be said to arrive at per-
feet maturity at the age of twenty
five years, so he should on this hypo-
thesis live to hundred.

AMERICAN BEAUTIES SHOWN IN
 A CALENDAR

A CALENDAR.
 Armour & Co.'S Society Girl'' calen- dar for 1902 is a highly artistic achieve ment. It embodies six types of the American girl of to-day as described by six of the foremost American illustra- tors---WilIiam T. Smedley, A. B. Wen zell, Albert Sterner, Howard Chandler Christy, Henry Hut and A. I. Keller. All save one of the drawings are in color; all are full length figures placed against soft toned backgrounds. The artists chosen for the task were in no instance restricted. They were simply asked to give their ideal type of mod ern womanhood. All have done so, and the result as set forth in the six original drawings is all that can possibly be de- sired. Each sketch is characteristic of it's creator, and each one technically considered presents the producer at his best, The artists were given ample time for the selection of a model and for the execution of the comm ssion. When the names of the illustrators selected to furnish sketches for this calendar became known one to the oth- CT each man naturally desired to send forth only his best effort, for only lead- ing artists had been chosen, and the spirit of rivalry was aroused. Refine ment, intelligence, suppleness, verse and wholesomeness are the dominant traits of American womanhood, and these characteristics are found in vary ing degrees in all of the six sketches. All of the artists are we'll known through their various contributions to leading magazines, as we'll as to inn portant art exhibitions. Armour & Co, Chicago will send this beautiful calen- dar. securely packed, postpaid, to any on receipt of twenty-five cents in postage.

DRY GOODS SOCIETY.
ANNUAL BALL AT HARMONIB
 HALL ON FEB. G.

Society to be Formed Into Henevo-
 lent and Protective Organization
 --Win Care For E.s Members When
 Sick and Also Proposes to Find Elm
 ployment For Them.
 The members of the New Haven Dry Goods association are actively engaged
 making preparati tion for their annual dance which will take place at liar monie hall this year on the evening Of February 6. The society which was promoted principally for the object of furthering the movement for the clos ing of the stores on Monday evening has since the success of that event con- tinued as a social organization. But it has now become a nevelovent society, the aims of which will be to broaden it's usefulness by helping andSprotecting all who belong to it. It proposes for nominal sum to care for it's members while sick and to pay them sum of $5 per week during a stated period in the year. A proposal has also been submit ted to pay members, who are out of NOl lulUuSA IIO ldulk OL lllCil oWl q certain sum per week. But it is gener- ally believed that this project will not be carried out for present at least. An other praiseWorthy object the assocla- ton has in view will be the finding of employment for such of it's members as may be unfortunate enough to be out of situation, The society as at present constituted comprises some sixty mem- bers who are employed in the various stores ill the city But under the new regime of affairs the officers and mem- bers feel confident that before long they will have the great majority of the clerks in it's ranks and when that is &C., conplished they hope to make the New Haven Dry Goods association one of the strongest and best of it's kind to be found anywhere. A large and repre- sentative committee with E. J. Me Caffery of the Edward Malley company as it's chairman has been formed for the purpose of making arrangements for their third annual dance which will take this year at Harmonic hall and will be in the form of a masque ball. It will be of q semi-private nature and will be confined strictly to the members of the association, the clerks Of the Va- rious retail stores and their friends 1 The sale of tickets is limited and early application should be made to MT. Me- Gallery for the same The recent so- cial affairs given by the dry goods men | have been of the most enjoyable kind | and there is little question but that the coming one will be the best and most | enjoyable of them all.

CARNEGIE ON WAR.
Condemns South African War and
Shooting OF Filipinios,

New York Jan. 2s.-"The killing OF
men under the name Of war" wrote
Andrew Carnegie in letter which was
read at the p f. Collier dinner at the
Metropolitan club last night, rs the
foulest blot upon humanity today We
see much discussion as to what Is or
what ia not permissible under civilized
warfare. My view is that this is a
contradiction Of terms. There can be-
no such thing as civilized warfare. We
have made little progress in the path
OF genuine civilization as long as we
can find no better substitute for the
settling OF international disputes than
the brutal murder Of one another. As a
general proposition 1t may be stated
that the nation who refuses peaceful
arbitration IL responsible for the war
which ensues. Britain, having done this
in ts dispute with the Transyaal re-
public IS responsible for the extermina-
ton OF brave and heroic Christian
people.
"But let us also remember that we
are today engaged IN shooting down
Christian Filipinos whose only crime Is
that they believe In the Declaration OF
Independence. sad that both branches
OF the so-called most highly civilized
race should be guilty OF the most UNI
civilized Grimes, Let us all pray that
this disgrace Is soon 10 pass away.
