Instance of Horse Longevity

The supposed Oldest horse in Iowa,
aged 50 years, lives three miles from
Stanhope in Hamilton county, and is
the property Of Scandinavian farm
er. Last winter he was bereaved by
the death of his juvenile mate, a
horse that died in the full bloom at
the age of 80. The horse that has
just completed more than half a cen
tury Of life is in fairly good flesh and
is fed on bread baked with an addi-
tional ration of sugar each day. His
owner is proud of him and money
would not tempt him to make a sale.
1t is said that all the signs of great
age are present. His coat has not
been shed for several years, and his
muscles have lost their power to a de-
gree. With all this, however, he COW
ers four miles of country roads every
day, hauling the cream from three
COWS to the creamery two miles from
the farm.

The Farmer Pilgrims

For about ten days each year, on an
average of 250 per day of North Oak
ota farmers are carried free on an an
nual pilgrimage to the North Dakota
agricultural college and experiment
station at Fargo. They are shown
the experiment plats, the live stock
and hear lectures on various topics,
as an institute is in progress each day
during the pilgrimage. This privi-
lege North Dakota farmers owe to the
beneticence of Jim Hill, the great
railway magnate of the Northwest,
who has always been a pretty good
fellow to North Dakota farmers, and
he can afford to be as they have given
him a good freight business. And
the better farming they do, the more
freight.he can carry.

Free Mail Delivery

A large number of farmers are this
week enjoying for the first time the
luxury of having their mail delivered
at their door. The largest part of
the south half Of Brown, twenty-five
years ago the uDbroken prairie, is now
covered by the rural mail carriers.
Seven counties in this state will, after
September, have complete delivery,
not one farm house to be missed by
the mail carrier. 1t means much to
the families on the isolated farms
about the prairie. Cost what it will
the rural mail service has come to
stay, and each new route is a leverage
for another a little farther on. 1t is
the most tangible evidence of the ex-
istence of the republic.

Rapid Fire Justice.

Yankee dispatch characterizes the
court rulings of a Toronto magistrate,
Of whom John Foster Fraser tells in
his book, Canada MS 1t Is" The mag
%istrate. who is reported to have got
through with forty cases in forty min
utes, was once asked how he managed
1t. you must have some SYSTEM" was
the suggestion.
Il never allow a point Of law to be
raised" was the magistrates prompt
reply. This is a court of justice, not
q court of law.
Not so very long ago a young at.
torney wanted to quote law against
my sending his mar down for six
months. He wanted to quote Mathews,
I think.
Well said l, Mathews NAV be a
great authority on law, but / guess he
hasn't as much authority as l have
IN THIS court. Your man goes down
for six months"

Scott Hudson. Reasons.

Scott Hudson has more than the
financial reason for quitting the light
harness turf. No trainer has been q
harder worker than the blond reins-
man, with the exception Of Geers, and
the Kentuckian complains that the con-
slant jar of riding in the bike sulky
has seriously affected his health. The
EARRING affects the nerves of the back,
and these nerves sympathetically af-
feet the optic nerves, with the result
that his eyes have bothered him a great
deal of late, and he was afraid that in
time they would be completely ruined.
This explains in great measur why so
much Of the early preparation of the
trotter and PAGER is now done to road
carts.

Auto Racing Difficulties.

Gathering together the big racing
cars of the country with their clever
drivers for automobile race meets Is
about as much as a ace promoter
wants to accomplish. Travelling with
a huge racing car is expensive work,
and, there being SO much racing in the
east and around New York, promoters
do not like to move to any great dis
lance.
Racing at the best is an expensive
proposition, and race promoting with
all the big cars is a money making
proposition. The promoter therefore
has to deal with men who know that he
Is out to make the money. and they de-
mand enough out of the receipts to
cover their expenses. The promoter
puts up good purses. but does not fig
ure that he must pay men literally in
guarantees to go after the big purses.

The Brown County Exhibit

The Brown county exhibit at the
state fair at Huron next month. must
be in course of preparation some
where, but the matter is being kept
too still. Whoever is public-spirited
enough to take the matter in hand
should give notice to farmers and
gardeners to keep fine samples and
bring them in to some center to be
arranged for the fair. If the great
county of Brown goes without an en-
hibit being arranged it will look too
bad. There are fruit ard vegetables
galore in the county. Grain, grass,
corn, clover, such as never before
grew on Brown county soil.

Another Noxious Weed

Another new weed, said to be worse
than any yet gone before it is report
ed at Watertown and coming this
way, of course. 1t is called toad flax,
as it resembles flax as to stem, but has
a yellow flower. The fact is that the
weeds, principally the sun flowers

to compel the farmers of the Dakotas
to quit trying to spread all owe a
township, to farm less land and do it
so well that the weeds will not cut
