have nothing whatever to say in
praise of an easy life. Yours is the
work which is never ended. No
mother has an easy time, and most
mothers have very hard times; and
yet what true mother would barter
her experience of joy and sorrow in
exchange for life of cold selfish
ness, which insists upon perpetual
amusement and the avoidance of
care, and which often finds its fit
dwelling place in some fat designed
to furnish with the least possible
expenditure of effort the maximum
of comfort and of luxury, but in
which there is literally no place for

NUMBER SO
An Accomplished Fact.

Mr.. G. r. Scott of Sherburne,
KY, in letter to the Farmer and
Breeder pays a high compliment. to.
the proprietor of Emerald ChefI
Stock Farm of this county, Ahr.f
Scott says:
Il notice in your issue of Febru-
airy % your suggestion as to the
founding of an establishment spe-
officially devoted to breeding show
horses. You say that such an es,
Establishment has never been under
taken by fancier. You suggest
that the proprietor of show horse
stock farm must make bis selec-
tions from trotting families that
have won a reputation for indiyid-
ual excellence, and you mention
three families that are celebrated
for faultless proportions-t b Q
Daniel Lam berts, Mambrino Patch
ems and Clays.
1t may be matter of interest to
yourselves and to your readers to
know that such farm was under
taken fifteen years ago and is
reality today in the Emerald Chief
Stock Farm of Mt Sterling, XIV.
The fundamental principles that
you suggest and the blood lines you
select are largely in evidence on
this farm.
A dam, Lady Clond, bred BY S.
W. Evans, combining the Black
Hawk blood through two prepotent
scions, Indian Chief and Stock
bridge Chief, was mated to Harri-
son Chief, almost a brother in blood
to Mambrino King, both combining
the blood of Mambrino Chief (11)
and Alexander's Edwin Forrest.
This was the beginning. By breed
ing and purchase, the scope has
been extended until the farm has
reached its present proportion.
A visitor last year saw in a pas
ture five yearlings, the result Of the
years breeding of horse colts. He
offered $4,000 for the lot and had
no choice among the five. He re-
marked, after a survey of dams and
youngsters, that the farm, in it's
idea and product was a revelation
to the breeding world.
That Intelligence, perseverance
and proper foundation stock will
evolve show horses with the GER
taintY that other breeds have been
evolved" is no longer a theory, but
a demonstrated fact"
We had representative of the
ADVOCATE to see Mr.. Johnson, who
told him that for Is years he had
been confident his theory was abso-
lutely correct and now the produce
on Emerald Chief Stock Farm has
demonstrated it to be fact.

not TO look forward to lives spent
In avoiding difficulties but to lives
spent in overcoming difficulties.
Teach them that work, for them
selves and also for others, is not a
curse but blessing; seek to make
them happy, to make them enjoy
life, but seek also to make them
face life with the steajfast resolu-
ton to wrest success from labor and
adversely, and to do their whole
duty before God and TO man. Surely
she who can thus train her sons and
her daughters is thrice fortunate
among women.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1905-03-22
woMAN's CHARGE.

Unto the woman's keeping is
committed the destiny of the gen
erations to come after us. In bring
ing up your children you mothers
must remember that while it is es-
sential TO be loving and tender, it is
no less essential to be wise and firm.
Foolishness and affection must not
be treated as interchangeable terms
and besides training your sons and
daughters in the softer and milder
virtues you must seek to give them
those stern and hardy qualities
which in after life they will surely
need. Some children will go wrong
in spite of the best training; and
some will go right even when their
surroundings are most unfortunate ;
nevertheless an immense amount
depends upon the family training.
II you mothers, through weakness,
bring up your sons to be selfish and
to think only of themselves, you
will be responsible for much sad
ness among the women who are to
be their wives in the future. If
you let your daughters grow up
idle, perhaps under the mistaken
impression that as you yourself
have had to work hard they shall
know only enjoyment, you are pre-
pairing them to be useless to Others
and burdens to themselves. Teach
boys aud girls alike that they are

Judge Robert Grants novel I'm
leavened Bread" ponder seriously
the character of Selma, and think
of the fate that would surely over
come any nation which developed
its average and typical woman along
such lines. Unfortunately it would
be untrue to say that this type ex-.
lists only in American novels. That
it also exists in American lite is
made unpleasantly evident by the
statistics as to the dwindling fam
lilies in some localities. II is made
evident in equally sinister fashion
by the census statistics as to di-
vorce, which are fairly appalling;
for easy divorce is now, as it ever
has been, bane to any nation, a
curse to society, menace to. the
home, an Indictment to married un
happiness and to immortality, an
evil thing for men and still more
hideous evil for women. These I'M
pleasant tendencies in our American
life are made evident by articles
such as those which I actually read
not long ago in a certain paper,
where a clergyman was quoted,
seemingly with approval, as ex-
pressing the general American at
titude when he said that the ambi
ton of any save very rich man
should be to rear two children only,
so as to give his children an oppor-
tunity "to taste few of the good
things of life"
