Horse Notes.
By Shephe

Never feed when the horse is
overheated.
With old horses, ground feed
is sometimes necessary.
If properly taken care of, a
horse is seldom sick.
A fine appearing horse with
out ancestry is very uncertain
horse to breed to.
Many a promising colt has
been ruined by being stinted dur
ing its first year Of growth.
Steady work Is a benefit rather
than u detriment to mature
horses.
With the work teams, steady
work is not so injurious as spas
modic labor.
The practice of giving drugs to
horses unfortunately is pro-
ductive of a great deal of i'll
health.
From the day a colt Is foaled,
1t should not pass a day without
some Improvement.
Quality in horse is of more
Importance than quantity, but it
is nice thing, if they can be
combined.
Electricity is actively engaged
every day in taking away en-
ployment from light and medium
horses, yet many farmers go
ahead breeding such.
A foot of disproportionately
large size Is usually accompanied
with slenderness and comparative
weakness of limb and indicates
inability for any brisk or vigor.
Gus action.
1t is we'll to use we'll bred
mare whenever this ls possible :;
but a strongly bred sire will un.
failingly improve upon the most
ordinary bred dam.

If a horse does not digest his
grain properly, before going any
farther see that his teeth are all
right.
The mare must bear half the
responsibility of the character of
the foal. 1t is simply folly to
charge all of the mishaps in
horse breeding to the stations.
Get better mares.
The farmers aim should be the
production OF the best foal posi-.
bic, because it costs no more to
raise a good than a poor colt, and
there is no economy in using a
cheap or convenient stallion
when a first. class one of fit blood
lines can be had for a little extra
trouble and a little more money.

We do not think garden work
beneath the dignity of the finest
lady of our land.
6. Of those vegetables that
your family prefer, take a spec
ial pride in having the best va.
rietles, finest specimens and an
abundance of them. Have some
to can for winter use.
7. This is a great month for
setting the hens and taking off
the little chickens. There is
nothing like having fine varie
ty that you can take pride in,
and having plenty of them.
s. Do not neglect to plant
something for the hogs. They are
an important feature in the farm
economy.
9. If you expect to top-dress
your grain or grass, now is the
time to do it.
10. There was former custom
OF waiting for young plants to
reach certain age before begin.
ming to cultivate them, but now
the weeder, the harrow or the
garden rake can not commence
too soon. Rapid shallow cultiva-
ton and covering as wide an
area as possible as you go is the
way to do it. Stir the crust and
the dust.
II. Plant large melon patch.
The watermelon and canteloupe
are luxuries none should dem
themselves.
II. Plan to have something to
sell as well as plenty for home
consumption. We want you to
get in the habit of having as
many sources of revenue as pos
sible. There is nothing like it for
thriftness and progressiveness.--

/. April is the month for plan

so much by the heavy rains in
March, we trust the "Aprjl show
ers" will be light this year, so
that we may speed the Flow and

and food stuff and do not in
crease your cotton acreage.

down the cotton acreage, we say

preparing, manuring and plant.
ing your cotton, so as to make
as large a yield as possible, and
do not get in too big hurry
to do your planting right. "Haste
makes waste" here surely.
3 There is so much to do this
month, and we are all planning
to the limit, put upon us by the
scarcity Of labor, but we have a
wonderful aid in machinery. Let
the improved tools hel D you, and
learn to use them so as to do the
best work.
4. If you haven't planted your
Irish potatoes and bedded your
sweet.potatoes you should do so at
once. These are two important
crops and you can not raise too
many of either.
5. This is a busy month for
the gardener. There are forty
four varieties OF garden vegeta-
bles and nearly every one can be
planted here IN the South during
April. Make your garden so rich
and prepare it so well, that it
will require little hard work ;
then the ladies and children. can
keep everything growing nicely.

The mare that has any number
of generations Of maternal ances-
tors ofinferior quality and is her
self deficient in many points, is
absolutely unfit to perpetuate
her species, yet the stallion in
many cases IS blamed for the
failure of such mare to produce
colts which make good horses.
There is no real economy IN
making the feeding boxes for
the horses too small. They ought
to be sufficiently large so that the
grain will spread evenly over the
bottom, as this will prevent their
eating by guIping down rather
than eating slowly and slowly
masticating the food. Whenever
food is bolted, more or less of it
is wasted Live Stock Journal.

APT. KIMMEL TO LEAVE.

CAPT. KIMMEL TO LEAVE.
The following telegram was
received by President Bryan last
week:
Washington, D. c., Sept. 80,
President Washington State
College, Pullman, Wash.
"Order made relieving Captain
Kimmel from duty at College
and directing him to proceed
without delay to New York City
for duty as transport quarter
master, Cuban expedition.
The College keenly regrets to
lose Captain Kimmel. His
efforts on behalf of the Military
Department during the three
years of his stay here render
him worthy of the highest APP
probation of all who have the
welfare of the w. S. C. at heart.
The Evergreen joins with the
College in wishing Captain Kim
mel the highest degree of sue
cess in his new field of work.
The faculty rendered the Cap
tain and Mrs. Kimmel an infor-
NAL reception in Stevens Hall
last Tuesday night. Many men,
bers of the faculty were present,
refreshments were served, and
a pleasant time reported. Ever

SQUAD WORKING HARD.

The past week has been a
week of work for the football
squad. Though the showing
made is not of the brightest,
prospects are more favorable than
they were week ago for turn
ing out strong team. Of the
new men on the field there is
Fancher, who tried for quarter
at Whitman last year, but lost to
Smith; Buck at full and half, and
Brown at quarter. Buck is light
for full, and will have to work
hard if he expects to make either
position. Brown has "Prexie"
and Miner against him at quar-
ter, and though neither of the
two are particularly strong, he
will need to hustle or his hopes
will go glimmering.
While Lauritzen, Monty"
Cave, and Fariss have improved
since last year they still have a
lot to learn before first team
aspirations are realized. Laur-
items weight, although not
what might be wished, will en-
able him to hold down full if he
develops the qualities a fullback
requires. Monty" is showing
up at end and Cave is improving
as a half. Cave, however, will
have to forget Prep football for
the time being if he expects to
make the varsity. Fat" Fariss
at center is going to make
"Shorty" timber up his joints
this year; it will be an inter
esting case of angular projec-
lions bucking rotundity.
Nissen and Thayer are in the
game with their old time fervol
and both players are to be de-
pended upon. If they show up
as we'll as in past seasons then
work will be worth watching.
A word regarding promptness
in turning out for practice ap'
pears appropriate at this stage
of the game. The football season
is comparatively short and the
hours for practice few in number,
and as a result it is necessary
that the squads be out as soor
after four as possible. Wher
individuals linger along unit
four-thirty and later, the work OF
the team cannot come up to the
expectations of the coach, and Of
the student body. Evergreen.

SCHOOLS ARE NOT EXEMPT.

A decision was handed down
today by the state supreme court
in an important case of local and
state interest, chiefly because of
the fact that it had been an un-
settled law question considerably
discussed in many Of the cities
of the state being the decision
in the case of the Seattle school
district against the city OF
Seattle, in which the court holds
that the laws exempting public:
school property from payment OF
taxes does not exempt such prop
erty from payment of special I'M
provement taxes, such as street
improvements.
This case came from the at
tempt of the city authorities to
assess special taxes against SIX
lots owned by the school district
to pay proportional part OF the
e az of the extension OF
Howard avenue. The King
county court decided the tax
must be paid and the school dis,
trict appealed holding school
