Growing Draft Horses.

A draft horse breeder and grower
from colt-hood gives some of his own
experience in draft horse management,
and especially developing them from
colts. In his recent address at Kan
sas breders' association he said:
With careful heed and attention the
first winter the smaller breeds of horses
like the trotters, will usually attain to
proper degree of development, with
out great deal OF extra attention
thereafter. But have found that it

Seodlesa Tomatoea.

Since 1899 Prof. Halsted of New Jer-
sey has been giving some attention to
seedless tomatoes At the very start
the fruit was large and was called the
Giant. The variety seems to be well

fruits, however are becoming smaller.
In the case Of another hybrid some
Of the fruits in each cluster do not at

go through the regular stages OF ripen-

that this Is quite common phenome-

EARLY SHOPPING.

Newspapers throughout the land,
this one included in the number, have
been particularly free with their advice
this year in urging their many read
ers to do their Christmas shopping
early. The theory of this counsel is
most excellent. Early shopping avoids
the inconvenience of crowds and is
presumed to tighten the labors of the
clerks in the stores.
This advice had been followed more
generally during the present holiday
season than ever before. But in &C
tual practice it would seem that early
shopping has certain decided disad-
vantages that the thrifty are bound
not to overlook. And it would also
appear that it does not tighten the
work of the clerks to a great extent.
The merchants kept their stores open
the usual number of extra hours each
evening for some time preceding
Christmas this year just as they have
in the past. The clerks were on duty
just as long and while perhaps they
might not have been so busy during
the last few shopping days as they
ordinarily would have been had not
early shopping been INDUCED in, this
ly. 1t is the long hours that makes
the Christmas trade laborious for the
clerks. AS a matter of fact the great
majority of them would prefer to be
busy all the time they are on duty. 1t
is not half so tiresome to work as it is
to loll around for something to turn
up. So the advantages to the clerks
seem to be small.
The great disadvantage in early
shopping, however. is due to the prac-
tice of the merchants in cutting prices
on novelties and purely Christmas
goods one-half and more during the
eleventh hour. This action on the
part of the merchants has brought
down upon the heads of the news
papers the protests of their sub
scribers who followed the advice to
do shopping early.

you do buy early but you pay dearly

in on the night before Christmas Its
duplicates had been marked down
to $780,
Many other protests of this sort
are being received but all Of them are
not so mild in tone or temperate in
language. And it would seem that the
early shoppers have a just grievance
The profits in Christmas novelties
toys and the like are large, running
from 40 to 60 per cent. It would seem
that if the merchants are in earnest
in their advocacy of early shopping
they should fix prices giving them a
smaller profit and maintain these
prices to the end, so that the early
shopper and the late shopper will re-
ceive the same identical treatment. 1t
is not conducive to a pleasant state of
mind for woman to pay three dollars
for something which her neighbor
buys a couple of weeks later for a dol
lar and a half. This strenuous cam
paign of education for early Christ
mas shopping, which has been con-
Quoted during the past few years,
will have been in vain if the
merchants do not treat all alike
Nobody is going to pay so handsomely
for the privilege of shopping early as
many have done this year.
