Horse Talk.

Now keep the stables clean and

Put screens in the doors and
windows to keep out the flies and

Do not forget that fly nets and
muslin covers are due to these hard
working animal friends of ours dur
ing fly time.
1t is the horse smooth at all gaits
and that carries himself like gen.
tleman, and who is balanced at all
rates of speed that is coming in
vogue.
If you raise colt, raise one that
the people want.
The later in the season the colt
is born the more work the mare can
do.
1t is better for the colt to come
after fly time.
Moderate work does not injure
the mare or colt; in fact, it is bene-
ficial, but judgment must be used.
Always speak to your horse when
you go near him.
twill be better to bring the colts
in during the days and turn them
out at nights during the heated
season.
They can do nothing but fight
flies during the days. and it does
not pay to waste flesh in that way.
Molasses, the old-fashioned black
kind, is grand appetizer. Dilute
it and sprinkle on hay, 1t pays to
cater to horses appetite, and va
riety is always beneficial.

False Alarm.

A burglar alarm in bank at
Ashland went off of its own accord
last week and caused great excite
mept. About nine o'clock at night
the gong began it's vicious rattle
and in a short time a crowd had
surrounded the bank and were
awaiting the appearance of the des-
perate burglars.
The cashier soon arrived on the
scene, unlocked the door and dar-
ing policeman, revolver in hand.
entered the bank and searched, but
found no trace of the burglars.
Nothing had been tamered with
and it was decided that the burglar
alarm, wearying of its continued
idleness, had gone off of its own
accord.
