BROWN Halls
DAYS OF YOUTH
AS SIRE or FAST HORSES ARE
OVERWHELMING AGE OF 30
YEARS.

Words come from Spring Hin to
the effect that the provocative powers
OF Brown Hal have become innocuous.
due TO impotency, the inevitable debt
exacted Of old age, and that he is no
longer kept for service. Brown Hal is
not far from 80 years old. Not many
horses live so long. He was foaled
in 1879, bred by r. X. Moore, of Guile
Okla, and sold by him to Mai. Camp
bell Brown and Capt. NJ c. Campbell.
The old horse shows his age very
plainly, and, while he may live year
or. two longer, it would be no sur.
prise to learn of his death before the
winter is over. In his prime he was
a strikingly handsome horse, and once
won championship honors by taking
a record of 2:12h. He is the only
pacing stallion in the world represent
ed in the standard list by eleven 2:1e
performers, DIS list being as follows:

Brown Hal is represented in the

and one trotter The trotter is Ella
Hal, 2:19A She also has a pacing
record of 2:15k. twenty-five of HIS
sons have sired hundred PAGERS and
three trotters, while fifteen of his
daughters have produced sixteen pac-
ers and one trotter. Maj. Campbell

The invention of artificial rubber
was prophesied at the recent meeting
of the British Association, and the
industrial world has been eager for
1t ever since the motor car and bicycle
trades threatened to exhaust the sup
ply of the natural article.
Mr.. Carrs substitute is obtained by
treating any cereal with phyalin,
well-known chemical substance that
acts in solution as a ferment, turning
the starchy matter in grain into dext-
rose. Another chemical is used in the
process to check fermentation at any
desired stage. This makes it posi-
Bile to produce the artificial rubber
in several different strengths
The inventor proposes to make the
substance in six grades from a liquid
solution suitable for waterproofing to
a hardness suitable for golfbaIls, in
which form it is said to possess the
lightness of cork and the toughness
of chilled steel. In other grades it
will be serviceable for tires, tubes.

for block pavements.

OF interest to growers:
Advices from the several Montana
points where large sales of wool are
usually held at this time of the year
indicate wide difference of opinion
between growers and buyers as to the
market value of the clips. The grow
ers are asking much higher price
than eastern buyers are willing to pay
and it is openly charged in some quar-
ters that the eastern wool dealers are

chasing Montana wool at lower price
than it is actually worth.
AS to the existence of such a com
bine, there is no conclusive evidence
The buyers, of course, expect to Sc
cure wool at a figure that will yield
them at least fair profit; whether
the offers they have been making on
the various clips are such as will give
them more than a reasonable profit
is a question to be determined by so
many considerations that newspaper
is not competent to give a fair and
impartial decision. Some weeks ago.
the growers were advised by certain
newspapers that their wool, would be
worth 2S to 80 cents per pound and a
few sheepmen-without stopping to
consider market conditions-were dis
posed to except a veritable boom in
their business

Press that the principal factor in de-
termining the price of wool in its nat
ural state is its shrinkage or loss of

the case of the Argus, at least, this
