a Bismarck Duel.

A duel in which Bismarck was once
engaged had a very amusing origin.
1t occurred when he was chief secre-
tar Of the Prussian legation at Crank
fort. lie went much into society and
one Christmas attended a big ball.
During the height Of the festivities
Bismarck attention was directed to
an exceedingly pompous individual who
strutted about the room. This was a
NJ. de Clancy, a noted French duelist.
Later on mis- important individual
took part in the dance, but having
omitted to leave his hat at the proper
place had perforce to hold it out al
most ut arms length while he danced.
The spectacle ticllled Bismarck i'm
mensely, and, as the Frenchman came
sailing majestically along, Bismarck
stepped forward and dropped a coin
into the hat. A duel was one Of the
next days events. Though it was with
pistols Bismarck escaped unhurt, while
his adversary was wounded.

BEST OIL FOR ROADS.
Results Of Test That Was Made In
Kansas.

Results Of a Test That Was Made In
Kansas.
A recent test of oils for rOadmaking
In Kansas showed that the reslduum
from the refinery was superior to any
of the crude oils, one gallon Of the re-
siduum being equal to two to four of
crude oil.
In order TO determine the value of
this material for roadmaking, says
Country Life In America, rOadbed
was prepared in sandy soil. After grad
jng it was plowed four and a half inch
es deep and narrowed.
4 harrow preceded and followed each
application of the residuum, which was
repeated until one gallon had been ap
piled to each square yard. The surface
was then smoothed and rolled.
After considerable use the surface Of
the road became dusty and another ap-
plicatiOn was made. Professor Dickens
reports that the road IS perfectly salts
factory, being firm, but not hard.
Another stretch Of road treated In
the same way sustained loads weigh
ing three tons and more during wet
weather without being damaged. Not

Cured. Oils containing less than 30
per cent of asphaltum are not fit for
road purposes.

System Needed.

Working the highways as commonly
done In many states Is very unprofit-
able expenditure of labor. Not that the
farmer and his teams do not do enough
work, but 1t is often unwlsely man
aged, says Motor News. Seldom do two
men in the district have the same ideas
Of how the road should be made or
mended. A pathmaster Or overseer
may be. elected one year who will fix
the road according to his ideas. Next
year some one else may be put In Of
fee who will proceed to undo what has
been done by doing things his way.
The result is that we have merely
been mending instead of making high
ways, and there are thousands of miles
Of road that are very little better than
the trails and paths followed by our
fOrefathers
Payment of the highway tax in mon-
ey will put and keep the highways In
better shape. If there are not too many
oficeholders to support.

CARRIAGE HORSES.
Development of the American Type
Rests LARGELY With Farmers.

Development of the American Type
Rests Largely With Farmers.
Since the Inauguration Of work for
the development from American ma
terial Of carriage hofse which would
breed true to type has come a move
ment to establish classes for such
horses at the national and state fairs.
The sentiment for this has grown rap
idly during the past year, and such
classes have been added to the pre-
MUM lists of fairs In Iowa and Ken
lucky, states from which large num-
bers Of American carriage horses are
marketed. On their own initiative the
Iowa state fair held at Des Moines,
the Kentucky state fair at Louisville
and the Blue Grass fair at Lexington,
KY, have offered prizes for American
carriage horses for the season Of 1907.
A uniform classification has been
made possible by a cooperative ar
rangement between the national bu-
reau of animal industry and the Ameri-
can Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders. The classification was work
ed out by the committee on heavy har-
ness horses of the association.
A cordial reception Of the classified
ton by the horse press and managers
of fairs is reported. Among the earli-
est to adopt the classification for 1907
were the interstate fair held in Kan
nj
held in Hutchinson.
Farmers Breed the Carriage Horses.
The adoption of the classification by
state fairs Is especially urged by those
interested in it for the reason that the
state fairs are in the closest touch
with farmers, that the farmers are the
breeders of most of the carriage horses
sold on the American markets and that
the value of the American horse for
carriage purposes is rarely appreciated
by the farmers who breed them. Hun
dreds OF horses are sold annually by
farmers at really insignificant prices
which after some months Of finishing
and handling are sold as carriage
horses at prices up into the thousands.
Furthermore, there is continual sale
of stations to supply this trade. These
horses are usually Of orjy moderate
value as speed producers, but are Of
excellent, carriage type. If kept entire
and properly mated they could be of
inestimable value as foundation sires
Of the American carriage horse.
When the farmers appreciate the in
trinsic value of the native light horse
for carriage purposes aud recognize
the worth of the stallion with good
conformation and quality, but only
moderate speed as sire Of carriage
horses the problem Of fixing the type
will be one of early solution.
