F. c. Mullinix, of Leon, Iowa, was in
our city, last Monday, and contracted
with the Board of Aldermen for twelve
concrete crossings around the public
square. The crossings will be at least
six feet wide. Mr.. MulliniX put two
years guarantee on his work, and il any
thing unsatisfactory shows up during
that time, he will replace same without
cost to the city. Good gravel beds
were found close to the city, which is a
great saving, as in many places this
material has to be shipped in. The
contract price was 49, cents per square
foot. The city council are to be com
mended for this act, and we hope that
in the near future they will continue
and reach further out from the square
If this proves to be satisfactory, which
we believe it will. The new crossings
will be in by the time of the Big Street
Fair.-Bethany Republican.

A Colorado reader Of the Breeders
Gazette bred mare and sold her at
auction, with the statement before the
sale that the purchaser of the mare
would be responsible for the service fee
of the stallion to which the mare had
been bred. He wants to know who is
to pay for the colt. No statement or
the mare owner at the sale can relieve
him of his obligation to pay the fee IN
less the stallioner agreed at that time
to transfer the account to the purchas-
err of the mare. The man who bred the
mare is indebted to the stalliOner for
the fee, but the payment of the service
fee by the purchaser was condition
of the sale Of the mare. In other
words. the seller agreed to part with
the mare at the highest bid plus the
service fee. That fee was part OF the
purchase price. and he should have col
lected it from the buyer ut the time II
the mare was plainly In foal. The stall
lioner looks to the man who bred the
mare for his fee; the man who bred
and sold the mare looks to the purchas-
or to be reimbursed the amount OF that
fee. The man who bought the mare Is
not liable to the stallioner for the sery-
ice fee, but he is liable to the mare

The saddle stallion Is big enough when
he is up to carrying 1856 pounds, and
the roadster is big enough when he can

scale to tell us anything about any one
of these horses or their weights.
A Horses Points.
There are some points which are val
liable IN horses of every description.
The head should be prOportionately
large and well set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives 1t free mo-
ton and graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, little
prominent. and the eyelids fine and
I thin. The ear should be small and erect
and in quick motion. The lop ear indi-
Gates dizziness and stubbornness. When
too far back there Is a disposition to
mischief.

horses on farms Is having similar
effect. Horses whose duties contine
them to loamy lands need no shoes,
and In large majority Of cases where
shoes are needed only the fore feet
should be shod.-Farm and Ranch.
