The Horse Prey 60 the Terrors of
Imagination.
Birds are perhaps more common
ly the victims of illusions than 9TH
er animals, their stupidity about
their eggs being quite remarkable.
On one occasion, for instance, hen
got into the pavilion of a ladies'
golf club and began to sit on a golf
ball in q corner, for which it made
a nest with couple of pocket hand
kerchiefs. But many quadrupeds
are not only deceived for the mo-
ment by reflections, shadows and
such unreahties, but often seem vic
Tins to illusions largely developed
by the Imagination.
The horse, for instance, is one of
the bravest of animals when face to
face with dangers which it can un-
derstand, such as the charge of an
elephant or a wild boar at bay. Yet
the courageous and devoted horse,
so steadfast against the dangers he
knows, is a prey to hundred ter

sions, mainly those of sight, forF

his soul, are caused, as a rule, bit
mistakes as to what the horse seeb Is
and not by misinterpretation oily
what he hears. 1t is noticed, forE
instance, that many horses which
shy usually start away from objects
on one side more frequently than
from objects on the other. This is
probably Cue to defects in the vision
OF one or other eye.
In nearly all cases of shying the
horse takes fright at some unfamil-
lar object, though this is common
ly quite harmless, such as a wheel
barrow upside down, freshly felled
log or piece of paper rolling be-
fore the wind. This instantly be.

something else, and it is curious
question in equine neuropathy to
know what it is that the horse fig
ures these harmless objects to be.
When Russian ponies first began to
be shipped to England they usually
objected to pass near a donkey.
This reluctance was explained on
the hypothesis that the ponies sell

A veterinary surgeon who had
won reputation was once summon
ed by p. T. Barnum to come to hia
stables to attend Hebe, fayorite
elephant, who had hurt her foot.
She was splendid creature anG
worth small fortune. The surgeon
told the story of his experience and
its results IN Our Dumb Animals:
Hebe had stepped on nail or a
bit of iron, and it had penetrated
the tender part of her foot. She
was in intense agony-almost wild
with pain.
Long before we reached the in
closure in which she was kept we
could hear her piteous trumpeting,
and when we entered we found her
on three legs, swinging the sore foot
slowly backward and forward and
uttering loug cries of anguish. Her
keeper said: Don't you be afraid,
sir. Hebe's got sense" But | own

In the early statehood of Ohio,
through the wise forethought of those
sturdy pioneers who migrated to the
great Northwest Territory, there were
founded agricultural societies whose
fundamental principles were the edu-
cation of the people along the lines of
agricultural pursuits. This they aimed
to accomplish by annual exhibitions
OF the choicest products of the farm,
and in thus annually bringing together
the populace to view and study the ex
hibits presented to engender a feeling
of universal brotherhood that would
result in great benefit to ALL
The good resulting from these even
necessarily limited exhibitions was

puRANGo's NEW LIBRARY.

Durango will have new public
library building. That is settled.
Andrew Carnegie has donated the
money to build it-$12.500, and it will
be located on the lots given for that
purpose by Gen. w. J. Palmer.
The site consists of three lots at
the corner of Twelfth street and Sec
ond avenue, west OF the Presbyterian
church. They are valued, at low
estimate, at $4,000.
The plans are being drawn by Will
liam Ellsworth Fisher, an architect
OF Denver, who spent yesterday in
town and departed for home this
morning. The first sketch has been
made and the plans and specifications
are expected to be finished and in the
hands of the library building COM
mittee within three weeks. The
sketch made is on exhibition at Geo.
Goodman's store.
Mr.. Fisher was seen by a reporter
this morning and asked as to what
material would be used In the con-

struction OF the building. He said
that had not been decided yet He
would figure on the gray building
stone found here and also on brick.
He considered the gray stone very
beautiful building material, but
feared there was not sufficient mon
ey for that. He said we ought to
have more money; that towns the
size of Durango usually got more
from Mr.. Carnegie than Durango had
received.
Referring to the brown pressed
brick made in Durango for facing. he
said II he had his choice of brick
made in any part of the state of Colo
RADIO he would prefer the Durango
product, and added that he consider
ed them the prettiest for facing OF
any he had seen. If Denver had such
brick they would command a big
price. He beneved the regular brick
made here were better than the Den
| yer article. Such brick as are used
| for backing up" brick made in Den
yer for that purpose, are sold Tor ~
or IS thousand. These are brick
made rough by hand and ordered in
large quantities. The clay for COM
mon brick in Denver is obtained right
there at the yards, but clay for the
fancy brick is shipped in.
He asked a member of the commit
tee TO obtain figures on Aztec hand
made brick and send him.

CONDITIONS COMPARED.

]. A. Brothers, president of the San
Juan Fruit Growers association and
George Allen, one of the most
gressive fruit growers and gardeners
of this section, returned last evening
from a trip to Grand Junction, Pail
sades, Delta and Paonia, where they
went to look into conditions in those
towns and make comparisons with
this section, especially as to the meth
DDS of picking, packing and shipping
fruit. They studied carefully the
manner of packing and handling fruit
SO as to get the best results possible.
Their impressions and the pointers
they learned will be of especial inter-
est to every fruit grower in southwest
Colorado and northwest New Mexico.
One thing that impressed them
was that peaches are being raised at
an altitude of 1000 feet, higher than
It has been thought possible in this
section to raise that fruit. Steep
hillsides the like OF which have been
considered worthless here are being
utilized and made to pay over there.
That section, they say, is going to
shove California fruit clear off the
coast. One firm in Los Angeles alone
wants 1000 cars this season, and it is
estimated 1890 cars will go out from
Grand Junction this summer. They
are shipping pears now to California.
An expert packer was brought in this
summer from the coast to SHOW Grand
valley growers how to pack pears.
pears.
Both Mr.. Brothers and Mr.. Allen de-
clared the fruit displays in the Du-
range store windows were better
than any they had seen at any of the
towns where they stopped.
They acknowledge that the Grand
valley is ~ or Is years ahead of San
Juan county, and say it is on account
of having a railroad SO many years
before the New Mexico fruit belt got
one, and being on a main line, and
having SO many more people.

steadily advanced into the great agri-
cultural sections, placing the factory
beside the farm, to make the ex-
change between the two great bodies
Of producers the more direct and
equitable and make them more de-
pendent upon each other.
Prosperity on the Farm.
Not alone in manufacturing mas
there been this doublng-up process
in prosperity under Republican ad
ministration. The farmers have
doubled their crops and the money
they have received in exchange. The
farm value of those three great staple
crops OF the West, corn, wheat and
cats, in 1896 amounted to 1894, 00O.-
900. and last year 1t aggregated ST.
100000 or more than double the
value in the last year of Democratic
administration. The value of farm
animals also doubled in the same per
iod. increasing from SITES. 100000 in
1896 to s3,675, 100000 in 1906.
This prosperity to the farmer was
not confined to the corn and wheat
belt of the country. Like the rain
which falls on the just and unjust
alike, 1t descended upon our friends
in the South, who still refuse to be-
lieve that prosperity can exist under
Republican policies. The value of
the cotton crop went from $4,000
900 in 1896 to more than 5000, 000, 900
in 1904, the last year for which we
have statistics. The miners doubled
their output of coal and iron, and in
every line of industrial development
the last ten years have been in har-
mony with this scriptural Injunction
TO make two blades of grass grow
where one grew before.
Our foreign trade has been along
the same double-track lines, our i'm
ports increasing from $3.50, 100000 in
1896 to $1,227 100000 in 1906, and our
exports from $SS3,0OO,00O in 1896 to
$1,744, 100000 in 1906. The total vol
ume of our foreign trade in 1896
| amounted to $1,662 100000, and in
1906 to $3.50, 100000. Add to that
our trade with Porto Rico. Hawaii
and the Philippines, which amounted
| to $75,000,000, and we nave in the
| last year a grand total of $3,045, 000,-
| 900 as the amount of business done
between the people of the United
States and the rest Of the world.
This is greater than the foreign COM
merce of any other nation, Great
Britain alone excepted, and that be-
cause that nation imports her food
products, her imports being almost
double her exports. while our exports
exceed our imports by half million
dollarsa
| Under the policy OF protection the
United States produces one-third OF
| the manufactured and agricultural
products of the civilized world. Our
labor receives double the compensa-
| ton that labor receives in Great Brit.
