to say when that beautiful horse Alca-

a four-y ear-oId that in few short
years he would be treading about a
country town hitched to load of wood
and doing the work any drudge could
do; but this is exactly what has hap
pened. The fine Old horse, sire of seven
with marks better than 225, is now the
property of Mr.. c. E. Peavey of Brooks,
and is used by him almost every day to
do trucking. To be sure great care is
taken that the loads are light and that
the old horse does not strain OF injure
himself in any way. In spite of the
fact that he is compelled to do labor
like amy common drudge, the horse is
as smooth as a dollar and is looking
and feeling as fine as he ever did in his
life. He is still getting some eXcep-
tlonally good colts and it probably will
not be many years before he will have
more than seven in the list with marks
better than 2.25. Among some of his
best colts is Joe Ear 222 12, owned by
