According to figures furnished by the
government bureau of statistics, there
are consumed in the United States in
one year about 100000 barrels Of
beer, 9S,00O,O0O gallons of proof spir-

These drinkables, sold at retail, take
out Of the pockets of consumers in a

Horses make good work animals on
the farm, but for all around animals
the mares are much better and more
profitable. The best mares possible
should be secured and the best sires
used. No good draft mare should be
sold unless there is a better one to take
her place. They will do the ordinary
work and raise colts at the same time.
