This is because of the large wagons
used and heavy loading for the docks.
Draft horses are used by wholesale
mercantile houses. packers, brewers,
coal dealers. contractors. lumbermen
and firms having heavy teaming work.
They are in demand in all large cities.
New York, Chicago. Boston, Philadel-
phia and Buffalo being especially ac-
tive in the trade. They are wanted for
export, but during the past few years
prices have been too high in the Unit
cd States to make expectation profit
able, and consequently but few draft
horses have been exported. The sup
ply is much short of the demand, caus-
ing sharp competition, and consequent
ly drafters are bringing good prices on
the open market.

Investigating GRANDPA.

A grandfather, well known in the
English house of commons, was chat
ting amicably with his little grand
daughter, who was snugly %ensconced on
his knee.
"What makes your hair so white,
grandpa?" the little miss queried.
81 am very old, my dear; l was in
the ark" replied his lordship, with a
painful disregard of the truth.
"Oh, you + NoahT
"No."
care you Shem, then?"
"No, l am not Shem."
care you Ham?"
"No."
s"Then," said the little one, who was
fast nearing the limit of her Biblical
knowledge, you must be Japheth."
A negative reply was given to this
query also, for the old gentleman in
wardly wondered what the outcome
would be. .....
"But, grandpa. if you are not Noah
or Shem or Ham or Japheth,you must
be a beast"

sought and are best secured by the
horse throwing weight into the collar
rather than by muscular eXertion of
the limbs. The drafter should be a
broad, massive individual with SYM
metry Of bone and muscle, standing
from 1913 to 17.2 hands high and in
good flesh weighing not less than LEGO
pounds for the lighter sorts. Since he
does his work by throwing weight into
the collar, the heavier the horse, other
things being equal, the more efficient
he will be. Along with weight he
should possess moderately heavy bone
with quality, indicating sufficient
strength and substance to carry his
body and not give the appearance of
being top heavy. His height should
result from depth of body rather than
length Of leg. In fact, as a rule, the me-
dunn short legged horses possess more
endurance than those with long legs.
He should be broad Of chest, with a
large girth and not cut up in the flank.
His legs should set we'll under his
body, for If they are otherwise and he
is very broad he will likely be inclined
to roll, causing laborious action. The
back and coupling should be short and

RIGHT F%ERTILIzING.

Handsome Profits and Often Enormous
Returns Follow.
A. Goss of Indiana reports some very
interesting data on the use Of fer
tilizers obtained by experience during
a number of years past in the southern
part of the state. His conclusions are
Of general value, however. One Of
them is that, while occasionally soils
are found that do not respond to fer
t%ilizers, usually some combination has
been found that has produced hand
some profits and not infrequently enor-
nous returns. There is, for example.
no question that the application of pot.
ash in considerable quantities on muck
soil is very profitable in connection
with the growing of corn and other
crops. 1t also seems certain that the
liberal use Of fertilizer on the potato
crop is highly profitable and that fer
tllizer will usually pay well on the
wheat and corn crops If used in the
proper proportions and right amounts.
The work that has been done empha-
sizes the fact, however, that in order
to secure the best results it is neces-
sary to understand the needs Of the
particular soil and crop to be used.
There is not the slightest doubt that a
large and profitable increase in crop
production could be brought about In
the state by a more systematic and In
telligent use Of fertilizers.
The turning under Of leguminous
crops vas found to be the cheapest
means of supplying gains and other
nonleguminous crops with nitrogen.
Experiments with untreated, rock
phosphate in comparison with acid
phosphate indicate that the untreated
phosphate is "a cheap and effective
source Of phosphorus where immedi-
ate returns are not required. For
quick returns acid phosphate or some
other readily available form should be
used" In these experiments heavy ap-
plications Of rock and acid phosphate
still showed marked results after three
years.

The Evil Eye.

The "evil eye" was one OF. the many
superstitions that at n time beset
humanity in the time Of its Ignorance.
It was believed throughout the middle
ages that certain persons had the pow
er of cursing you by their glances, of
subjecting you to the fascination which
unopposed, blighted and destroyed you.
Amulets of various forms were used
against this much dreaded power as
we'll as certain practices, such as laugh

FAvORs THE FORWARD PASS.
YnIe's Football Captain Prefers New
Play to Goal from Field.

Cincinnati. April 25-Rather the for
ward pass than the drop kick from the
field.
That's the preference of Robert Burch,
the Cincinnati lad who has been elected
captain Of Yales football eleven for next
year, and who is now home for the first
time since that election.
The football rules for next year are
practically the same as last seasons the
principal change being in the rule with
regard to the forward pass said he.
Under the revised rule the only man on
the team trying the forward pass who
has the right to recover the ball i'm case
of tumble is the man 20 whom the ball
tire opposing eleven has the right to get
the ball, so that, IL there Is a miscue on
the play Il is one man against eleven
for the recovery OF the ball
THE forward pass is a beautiful play,
and I like il far better than the drop
kicking Of goal from the field. or course.
that is spectacular play and looks
mighty pretty when 1T is successful. but
it's largely a matter of chance and luck
and doesn't show any particular science
or team work. On the other hand the
forward pass is spectacular and also re-
quires the best kind Of team work. There
is no more scientific play in football. Yale
used il to advantage many times last sea-
son. and will continue TO use il.
'Yale's eleven for next season will be
another typical team-light and fast
That's the kind OF team that has gem
orally represented Yale. and her success
on the grdlron iustihes the continuance
of that policy. Yale loses several OF her
best men this year, but will have a fine
team again next year for there Is lots
Of good material TO be had from what
was her second eleven last fan. These
players were mostly freshmen and there
fore ineligible last year. but can play
this coming season. The hardest task will
be To develop a quarter back to replace
Tad Jones, who was a wonder. and whose
place will be hard To fill. Yale also loses
both the regular ends and tackles as
well as two OF the substitute half backs. -
