PONY RANCH IN NEW YORK.
Where ShapeQy Little ShetIands of
the Rich Are Cared For During
the Winter.

A pony ranch is one of the attrac-
tions which the Bronx brought to New
York city, or rather which the city ac-
quired by growing out to it, for it has
been In existence on little reserva-
ton of its own for the past 12 years.
Hundreds of ponies have been bred on
the Simpson farm, as the place is
called after the owned, and have been
sold to circus managers and to indul-
gent parents who regard them as cap
ital playfellows for the children. New
York's pony ranch is located in the
very shadow of the convent whose
walls shelter the weary society woman
who seeks peace and rest after hard
season. Every motorman in the Bronx
knows where the Shetland pony ranch
is, for the South Boulevard cars pass
the fields and stables of the establish
ment, says the Times.
There are about IS Shetland ponies
there for shelter and care during this
winter. Their tiny hoof prints are in
the roads in the vicinity, and they are
constant delight to the neighbor-
hood children, who feed them with
scraps from their lunch baskets on
their way home from school. The po-
MES are also popular as models for
feminine art students who go there to
sketch. They are such friendly little
creatures and have such an abundance
of curiosity that the office of art critic
suits their tastes better than that of
mere model, for they gather about the
artist in circle, completely surround
ing her, as if they were SO many lambs
and she their shepherdess.
While it is pleasant to be on such
friendly terms with the ponies, it is
something of hindrance when it
comes to sketching. The ponies nib
BILE the flowers on her hat examine her
shoes, and threaten to take samples
of her shoulders as well as her sketch
book. Perspective that is so essential
to artistic effect is denied by the close
proximity of the models.
A first-class Shetland pony COM
mands a market price of $1OO to $3.50.
They are readily broken to harness,
and are immensely popular and very
reliable as a kind of animated toy.
But very few of those that are actual
ly raised in the Shetland isles for the
British market are destined to become
pets of children in rich homes. The
majority are sold to work in the coal
mines. In that case the smaller they
are the larger price they demand, and
in the life to which they are doomed
they never again see the light of day.
The most beautiful of all the ponies
at the Shetland ranch in Greater New
York is called Dewey, in honor of the
admiral. He is sorrel in color, with a
finely shaped mane, and over his fore
head bang of hair that would make
fine pompadour. He has all the dig
nifty of a grown-up in his bearing; fine,
shapely legs, but so delicate as to seem
out of keeping with utility, and he
looks more tike an imported Christmas
toy than living creature. The farm
itself is place of resort for number
of little people from town, and when
on Saturdays they make an excursion
to the Bronx, it is Dewey who is al
lowed to give them a horseback ride
up and down the road.

Miss Nancy started tOaDGrd her, crying
My child, Tny child"
she had left her, but with open eyes
that some way looked as if she had
not closed them through all the night,
she said that she must send for doc
tor. Beulah turned her head, looked
at her and then said very distinctly:
"Miss Nancy, you must not send for
doctor till tell you to. When can,
I'll see one if need, but 1 have got
to manage my own life now. Please
leave me alone. Thank you for your
kindness" And she turned her face
to the wall.
Miss Nancy could only pulse with an
indignation that her other emotions
were powerless to override, but she
had an indefinable fear of a conflict,
and she went away and stayed away.
Beulah lay there silent all day. 1t was
after dinner when Patty, going into the
dimly lighted room again, heard her
speak.

steady voice, II have written. That's

eyes besought her for more she went
on: probably he was away and didn't
get the letter for some time, and then
probably he set in to arrange to come
right up north to see you and didn't
think about writing. Men do like that;
pa does. Why, maybe he's coming
now or maybe he's got here tonight
after it seemed too late to call on you
and is waiting till in the morning"
Little did Patty realize in her in
fantine castle building what she was
laying out for herself.
"Do you think soT' cried Beulah
softly. Then she said in voice more
like everyday life, but vibrating with
suppressed excitement, "Where is Miss
Nancy?"
'In the dining ROOM"
'No one else there's"
'No," said Patty, wondering.
"Come," said Beulah, getting up and
catching at Patty's shoulder for sup

The windbreaks serve to protect the
crops in the fields. When the hot
winds sweep toward the fields they
strike the belts of trees, are tossed in
the air, and pass over the field. The
shade they cast conServes the moist
ure in the soil and serves the farmer
in other valuable ways.
The rotation of crops, as eXemplified
on this model farm, is full of valuable
information. On this six-field farm
Mr.. Clothier has arranged for a five
year rotation. On one field alfalfa
will be planted, and it will be shown
that this must be left for five years
to obtain the best results for both the
crop and the land. Another field will
be planted to timothy or clover. An
other will be planted to timothy and
left for two years. Other fields will
be planted to corn, oats and wheat,
and the reason why wheat or corn
should be planted in a field on which
the year before clover or alfalfa grew
will be practically demonstrated.

The French consul at Panama cabled,
Friday, that Panama would assume
Colombia's former treaty and legal
obligations. This is considered by the
officials here as making practically
certain the intentions of the new state
towards French property rights. but
in order to remove the slightest ques-
tion of doubt, a definite declaration
from the new regime is awaited. When
this is received, it is expected that the
French course towards the recognition
of the new state will be that substan-

consul at Panama being directed to

ing equivalent to full recognition of
the new state.
