The heavy draft horse is of the profitable
classes of horses that the farmer breed The
colt can be bred with less risk and liability accident
than those of the lighter classes Some of the
points to be considered in selecting draft are Good
feet and legs, plenty of weight well developed body
and good style and action. draft horse should weight
from 1900 upward the the better provided

Next in importance to the draft Is the carriage

probably than draft horses. The ideal carriage coach
horse is animal of high excellence of FORM STYLE action
speed and education He must be of good size standing

Seeking an Everlasting Ink.

Government chemists are much in
terested in obtaining ink which will
be lasting. Many government docu-
ments have to be written in ink, and IL
Is desirable that the ink should remain
legible as long as the document re-
mains Intact. Notwithstanding the
popular idea that everything made In
the olden times was perfect the oldtime
inks were by no means perfect. The
original copy of the Declaration of
Independence Is almost undecipherable.
Only one signature. that of John Han
cock, stands out clear and bold.
All acts Of congress are fled with
the State department for safe-keepinR
and registered. Up to a few years ago
1t was customary to engross the acts
Of congress by hand with pen and ink.
but now they are printed. 1t Ia claim
ed that printers ink will outlast writ
ing fluid and that there will be NO
trouble for future genera tons to read
the acts of the present congress.
