THE COMBINATION HORSE.
How to Train md Care For n Colt
That IL Natural Gated

hON W uDu Nure FOr n COI
That Is Natural Gated.
The natural gated or so called com
binatiOn horse is from fifteen to sixteer
hands high, being naturally strong In
general conformation and standing
straight on his medium sized feet, with
his legs well under his body His round
hatlike toes point straight forward, SO
as TO insure an easy gait. The fox trOt
single foot and running walk are the
most desirable gaits, although a few
persons like the canter, slow pace or
trot. The latter gait, however, is con-
sidered best for harness use unless a
higher rate Of speed is desired, says II.
Il. Buck in Farm and Ranch.
The pace is the foundation gait Of the
saddle horse. A colt that PAGES when
1t Is foaled has brighter prospects than
any other animal of his kind. When
the colt Is week old he should be led
by halter and the process repeated
each week until he Is weaned at the
age of six months The colt should
then be bridled. When about eighteen
months old he may be saddled This
gauges his disposition, and he may soon
be ridden by small boy from two to
four miles every other day. Having
gone his several gaits under q saddle,
1t Is time TO harness and induce him to
pull cart. Deal gently with the colt.
DO not encourage the use of whip or
spur unless he is Ill tempered. In such
an event study the disposition Of your
charge: conquer him by firmness and
use whip If necessary. 1t is better,
however, to abandon the whip than APP
ply ii In anger. BE humane.
The combination horse should bring
from 500 to $3.50 as a twO-year-old
and at that age can be used for any
kind Of light work. His name ard tail
should be long and thick. Such a
growth is possible by washing the
name and tail about twice n month
with CASTLE soap and water, while it
Is also advisable to grease with lard
about once q month. Every farmer
should own combination horse both
from the standpoint Of business and
pleasure Such an animal may be
lriven to vehicle or saddled without
with his natural gait or
sacrificing speed. 1t is encOnomy to
Keep one well bred combination horse
n preference to one buggy horse and
mother for saddle use. During the
'ast ten years l have exhibited and
Von premiums with combination
orses at almost every fair in Texas. I
leno Clipper, 2:17H, ut the head of {
ny stable at Mckinney, Tex, has won
hirty-eight premiums, while his colts r
ave taken sixty-five premiums. Sew 6
nteen sales of his colts average over
242.33 per head. -

Ten thousand persons living in the
Fourth and Seventh wards of New

drink intoxicating liquors for a speci-
ned time as a result of the Roman
Catholic mission there 1t is consider
cd by experts the most remarkable
thing that ever happened in the lower
part Of Manhattan. Politicians of all

others have promised for q year.

James church, in James street, the last
month. The mission ended OH q recent
Sunday. The Rev. p. Doyle, who has
had charge of the mission. is of the
opinion that it has been the greatest
work his order has accomplished in
New York city. Almost every man.
woman and child of the Roman Catho-

In line by the missionaries.
Before beginning their labors the
priests laid out a plan of campaign.
Father Doyle was taken downtown and |
introduced TO a Tammany leader, to
whom he explained the great need of
reforming the folks In the lower wards.
This man finally promised the priest
to use what influence he had to make

line many other politicians. They all
agreed to assist the mission. Priests

chosen to manage it, and week was
set apart to reform married men, an

Somebody who has been computing
the quantity of liquids consumed by
the American people within a twelve
month has found that we drank last
year enough tea, coffee, wine beer,
liquors and other beverages to cover
an area of land two miles square to a
depth OF ten feet-a lake large enough.
1t was suggested, to float several ma
