To remove iron stains from marble
use a mixture of spirits of wine and
oxalic acid. Let the fluid remain only
a very short time, and wash it off with
warm water. Lemon juice will also
frequently remove iron stains. Apply
it directly from the lemon, wipe it off
in few minutes, and, if necessary,
make second application; then wash
the surface and wipe it dry.

Fish is thought by many to be at it's
best cold. 1t is beautiful to look at
when garnished delicately with cress,
lettuce or lemon. A whole salmon is
specially imposing, and even a pound

cuse. Soft-shelled crabs with tartare
sauce, brook trout with mayonnaise,
shrimps or even the plebeian mussel
served in its little shell make excellent

THE BAD POINTS OF A HORSE

in every PARTICULAR, and it may be
said that while there are twenty-five
bad points indicated, any ono of them
would be most fatal defect as far
as securing a fair price Is concerned.
There are many people who arc en-
gagged In breeding horses who, in the
first instance, place In the stud mares
OF impure blood, OF race blemish, or
OF hideous conformation. To these
mares in many instances are bred
stations with some marked defect, such
as ring bone, whistling or some other
hereditary trait. The result. Of
course, is bad colt. and bad colt,
no matter how well handled, produces
q bad horse for the market. and so the
result OF much time and considerab BILE
expense is rendered NIL.
The moral to all this is to start
right. The farmer should remember
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1907-12-22

that 1t Is cheaper In the long run TO
breed only healthy and sound stations
to we'll formed mares Of good constt-
tuition. in order that they may secure
u fair return on their Investment.
In many OF the States there is a
Breeders Association. which sends out
OF Its territory all mares OF impure
blood and those that are infected with
disease. SO that the rceders OF the To-
cality cannot. no matter II he desires
to do SO. use an impure strain. The
breeder would do we'll to examine care
fully the bad points OF the exceedingly
bad formed horse printed above. and
to use every endeavor to avoid having
such an animal in his paddocks. Such
an animal eats MS much as first-class
horse. requires as much attention as
good one. and is only fit to feed to
hounds In cold weather.
