birth Ii being celebrated today, 1t Is related

abstained from wine he might live five or

Get you gone" he exclaimed, with your
prescriptions and your course of diet. and
know that I would rather live three weeks
and be drunk every day than six years

He was as good as his word. Having

Most of the horses used in Omaha come
from eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
and some from South Dakota. These horses
are superior to horses from some other sec
tions, especially in the west where the breed
may be all right but where the growth Is
not properly attended to. A colt starts
out all right. but is allowed to hustle for
himself until he soon loses flesh and his
growth is stunted. The only way to keep
a horse right is to keep him in flesh from
the time he is born, and the flesh then be-
comes q part Of him and is hardened 80
that It is not cesessary to fatten the horse
for market as one would a steer.
Some rules are laid down by Mr. Jardine
In buying his horses which might be OF i'm
terest He said: Don't buy a fat horse.
for he will not last in that condition, and
then you will have a different horse. Start
at the feet first to pick out a good one and
see that he has long hook joint. good,
fiat BONE without too much meat or grlstle.
Always pick a horse which stands with his
feet we'll under him and horse with good
straight back. Pick horse with a good
clear eye, not one with little pig eyes. for
a horse with a bad eye is bad. I travel
all over this country for 800 miles every
way to pick up the horses needed in Omaha
and find many good ones"

with a four-horse team the wheelers are
Obliged to do all this heavy work. whereas
in a three-horse team three horses assist
in that work Backing is one OF the hard
parts Of heavy teaming and when two
horses are compelled to back a load which
1t takes four horses to pull forward, II Is
asking a good deal OF the wheelers. Few
drivers can handle four-horse team so
the leaders will do their share Of the labor.
the wheelers being called upon to bear the
brunt OF the burden. With three horses all
are driven with two reins and are close up,
30 the driver can use little persuasion IL a
horse lags behind and shirks his share OF
the burden. It is we'll known that the
nearer to the load a team is placed the
more effective are it's efforts to move the
load and so the third horse behind can do
much more can one horse in front, although
not quite much two. Most Of the
breweries are doing away with their four
horse teams and are using three on the
heavy beer wagons. Louis Metz has al
ways been an advocate OF this style for
heavy hauling and many are following his
example. Jardine, who does most of the
heavy hauling OF the city, also has more
three-horse teams than four-horse teams
Louis Metz said: II have always advo-
Gated the three-horse teams. Three horses
can haul all the loads needed around this
city, and besides the backing is the big
thing. At the Northwestern depot the space
is so limited they will not let you drive
your wagon along sideways and YOU are
forced TO back. With four horses the
wheelers have to do all this. and 1t soon
shows on the big wheelers. So many other
arguments could be presented in favor OF
the three-horse teams that am surprised

business who has a four-in-hand"

Jumbo, probably the largest horse in the

in Omaha, and is considered the most valu-
able for heavy hauling. He has good ac-
ton and his judgment is good. very es-
sential quality for horse, and will outlast
any other horse which can be put on tho
streets. His wind is OF the best. He Is
nearer a general purpose horse than any.
Even the doctors fail to agree as to the
typical draft horse. At the Omaha Horse
show last fall special prizes were offered
for the draft horse classes and McCords
His Brother carried off the honors, although
Judge Moulton. the presiding Judge, re-
marked that the horse was-no draft horse.
Mr. McCord replied that he was not up on
draft horses, but the horse was able to
pick up any load they wished to pile in
the wagon and walk of with It. Mr.. Jar
dine says the horse is one Of the best draft
horses he ever saw.
The length of time which some OF these
horses have been hauling heavy loads on
the streets is most remarkable. Cudahy
has a team which has been driven for
seventeen years. Louis Metz has a big
driving horse that has been in commission
for sixteen years and the Merchants Ex-
press company has a heavy team that
has been hauling from four to seven tons
at a load every day for the last fourteen
years.

Mules Not in Service.

Mules for heavy work are not used in
Omaha to any extent. the horse being
better adapted for city work with its
larger foot. The horse is built closer to
the ground and can haul a larger load than
the mule Horses are bred especially for
heavy city work and are best adapted for
that The original Clydesdale and Norman
Percheron are all imported horses and, al
though some good sires are kept In this
country. it is constantly necessary to im-
port new blood TO keep the stock from
deteriorating. Few special breeding farms
are found in Nebraska, although many
draft horses are now being bred upon the
ranches.
