AMERICAN ARAB HORSES

The following letter from Baron Heftler of Russia is the result of visit to the Huntington Stud. Oyster Bay. Long Is. land:
 I have made very important discov- cry since came to America. 1 have dis covered that the family of'Arabian horses from which the Darley Arabian came, and which was supposed to be extinct, is not extinct, and that the only representa- tives of that family worthy of being called representatives are right here in Oyster Bay. Your people here in this country do not know nor understand the Arabian horse. nor appreciate his great value but I will tell you how important he is to mankind. He Is the yeast by which all horse flesh is leavened. He is the basis of all horse flesh He is the primitive horse. pure and not mongrei- ized. The European governments know this. and have spent millions of dollars in trying to procure them for the develop ment of their native types.
 The English people were very fortunate in securing the Darley Arabian. the par ent of the English thoroughbred. This one horse has been worth untold millions to them. Had they at the same time nresented it to the people through deed these would have been of inestimable value: but they could not do it. When if was too late they attempted to procure Arab mares of the same family. and after twenty years of effort in the Orient. nurchased two or three stallions and mares at an enormous expense. which thav were not fortunate enough to keep owing to the enterprise of an enthusi- astic American, who became the possessor of them. This gentleman. MT. Randolph Huntington, spent a fortune in develop ing this family and keeping the blood

in Age-Herald on alfalfa for this in formation.
 Here is the list: Johnson grass Ber- muda grass, orchard grass, crimson, red, white, alfalfa and Japan clover.
 Part of this list may also be used for hay purposes.
 Winter Pastures.
 Here again we have q great advantage in the southern states, for we have hardy plants that will afford fine pasture almost every day through the ordinary winters of this state and thus the ex- pense of feeding may be greatly reduced. Among the best plants for this purpose mention winter rye, winter barley, wln- ter oats winter vetches. rape and mum Der of the clovers and grasses mentioned above. 1 had almost overlooked alslke clover and red top grass as fine hay and pasture plants for our low, wet lands. These should be included in this list.
 Fruits and Vegetables.
 Now If the farmer is we'll started in this rotation of farm crops, growing these to a success and profit and turning back to the soil all fertilizer made by his stock-and all crops should be fed to the stock on the farm except the wheat and often this also-he Is now in position to add to this rotation ,he growing of fruits and vegetabels
 Remember that I am giving here a TO- tatlon-a line of crops which the farmer may grow on the lands that he Is taking from cotton growing. In fruits and veg etables there are many that are not in- cluded in this list many of which may be grown for home comfort and for nearby home markets. I will only outline list which l am sure our readers can grow and ship successfully, when the soil has | had the proper cultivation and prepara- ton for such crops. In fruits l will men, ton peaches and apples, especially the early varieties of each, such as red i June apples and Elberta peaches Then there Is the plum and pear. grapes and the strawberry. In vegetables l would mention beans. beets, carrots. cucumbers. 1 eantaloupes, watermelons, mustard, on- | ions, Irish potatoes, peas. peppers, radish, | spinache, squash, tomatoes and turnips. Now l have given here a rotation of crops. or a list of crops which may be placed and grown in a regular rotation, which l think one of the best for our readers, and this I shall follow up with instructions on how to grow to grow the food or feeding value of the various plants mentioned giving detailed infor- nation on fruit and vegetable growing, i, when, where and how to market these | crops.
 | Now I wish to state that to give this 1 in an intelligent manner will require much hard study and time, so l will urge all who are enquiring for such informa- ton to start in with us in this series of articles. Take The Age-Herald tweekly) read and file away every number so that you may have at all times the informa- tion right at hand. Should this list of crops be established, with large central cannery and creamery added, it will make our readers self-supporting, pros- ous and independent. So to this list of crops, farm. orchard and garden, will be | added and encourage these important in- dustres.
 With the above I think I have outlined great task and one in which l ask the hearty cooperation of all our readers. AN AGRICULTURAL ANGEL"

AN AGRICULTURAL "ANeEL.r

Theatrical people are in the habit of applying the terms angel to the wealthy packers who stand good for the expenses of their ventures With more justification, all engaged in agricultural pursuits may use the same exalted des- ignation in referring to Dr. George T.. Moore. who. by a philanthropy and gen. erosity unparalled, has become the ben efactor of the man who blows. Usually when a man makes an invention he rushes to the patent office for papers that will give him monopoly of his discovery
 He uses it to make money for himself primarily, such benefit as the public gets from 1t being incidental and we'll paid for
 Besides making men rich, the more valu- able patents are often the principal fac- tors in creating monopolies, so it is ques- tionable whether they do more harm than good. The first case to be recorded of an inventor deeding to the world at

Grasses and cIovers.

So soon-yes, even before we engage in stock growing very extensively-we will need to prepare something in the way of pasture, so I will give here a list of clovers and grasses which it Is possible to grow in these sections for pasture. How ever, in order to succeed in growing these the soil should have the prepara- ton and treatment, such as l have rec commended from time to time. See article

Betrayed.

\ lady residing in Russian Poland
wanted to buy an alarm clock, but the
price asked by the local matchmaker
was too high for her. and she there
fore obtained the article subsequently
on the occasion of trip across the
frontier. On the return Journey she
happened to fall in with the village
matchmaker, to whom she showed
her purchase, adding that she had got
it very cheap. On the pretext OF ex-
amining the clock the matchmaker
set the alarm 20 the tine when the
lady would arrive at the frontier. On
passing the custom house the lady
kept the clock concealed under her
garments. when, to the great amuse-
ment of the bystanders, the thing
suddenly went off. The instrument
was confiscated, the lady had to pay
fine, and the matchmaker had the
double satisfaction of wreaking HIT
petty revenge and compelling his fail
victim to deal at his shop for the
future.

A Georgia Domestic Tragedy.

A Georgia l. Io1nestlC 1iaSeoy'

In the vicinity OF Augusta lives
farmer. by name John Madgett, who
has appealed TO the courts OF Georgia
to release him from the CALLING bonds
OF matriInony on the ground OF in
compatibility of temper. During the
fourteen years OF their conjugal rela-
ton Mr.. Madgett makes affidavit that
Ihe ard his wife have quarreled o,I1o
,imes. Mr.. Madgett is thus statis-
tically precise because: from the very
day the preacher tied the knot, he
kept a domestic diary, with a possible
view to future divorce contingencies.
Having thus acted as the historian
Of the little domestic infellcitles that
are wont to sometimes ripple even the
placid surface of true love, Mr.. MaS-
gett is enabled to furnish his lawyer
with a tabulated classification of the
source and nature of these divers and
sundry conjugal spats. 1t seems,
from Mr.. Madgett's record that the
period OF his double blessedness was
fruitful OF 436 quarrels a year, to
strike yearly average of the lmpos-
ling aggregate, which gives an average
OF a quarrel a day and some to spare.
1t appears from the concrete record
that the most prolific source Of strife
