HoBs0N ON PEACE
Reiterates His Belief With Roosevelt
That Peace Societies Jeopardize Ma
tional Welfare.

Greensboro, N. c., Oct. 15.--The prin-
cipal address before the North Carolina
Peace society, in session here, was de-
livered today by Capt. Richmond p.
Hobson, who took a bold stand against
the work Of peace societies as usually
performed.
Reminding his hearers that he had
the privilege Of placing in President
Roosevelts hands the published report
of the last meeting of the North Caro-
lima Peace society, Captain Hobson de-
clared that he was entirely in accord
with the president when on that occa-
sion he said that peace societies mere
ly jeopardize the national welfare, and
are profoundly hostile to American ma
tional life, if they obstruct the gov
ernment in providing ample military
and naval power to meet conditions IN
the actual world of today"
The president, he said, previously
hals-s-'s-- -aborated his views in these

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

1t is fact not generally known that
Of all farm products poultry stands
6fth in value. 1t is estimated that
..he cash derived from the sale of poub
try and eggs amounts to half a billion
dollars annually. 1t is believed that
this amount is being rapidly Increased
each year, due to the fact that farmers
are beginning to realize the profits
there are in well cared for. flock of
hens. When all poultry keepers fully
appreciate how easy it is to increase
the productiyeness of their fowls, it
is fair to assume that this branch Of
farm products will advance well toward
first place in relative value. The fol
lowing letter from c. d. ChattertOn of
West Brookfield. VT, indicates the way
In which some are increasing their
egg production. He says: II have used

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

HOW many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails In that
far-away country-Africa-e
the Congo district. II is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night. tossing about, nervous, with
GOLD feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetss
ay bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City, Pa, writes: Il had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. ! had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise It
helped me at onoeI gave me a splendid
appetite, and now / sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, 1t will
do for every rundown. nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.

FAMOUS STOCK FARM.
Mr.. J. W. Neal Writes Entertain
jpuIy of RambIes in the West.


Weary of work and full of personal
satisfaction over the winning of the
$50, 900 American Trotting Derby by an
indianapolis bred and owned horse, l,
in the early days of September, conclud-
ed to take a real vacation-the first and
only one since l entered The Western
Horseman Office twenty years ago-and,
packing my grip, ''hiked out" for the
Rocky Range of Montana.
was lured toward Montana not only
TO feast my eyes on the rugged beauty
of the "snowy range" and to tread some
of the beautiful valleys and romantic
gulches which for half a century past
have made Montana famous as paradise
for stockmen and mine prospectors, but
more especially to familiarize myself
with some famous horse-breeding es-
s"speaking acquaintance, at long range,
for mang years, the real goal of my pill
grimage being the renowned ranch,
Brook Nook, the property of c. y. Lar
rabee, Home Park, Madison County,
Montana.
Leaving the main line of the Northern
Pacific at Whitehall, some thirty miles
this side of Butte, "shied" off to the
south, up grade, through the beautiful
Ruby River valley, and did not progress
far until horse matters of interest began
making their appearance, the first his
toric landmark in this line being the old
Armstrong horse ranch, near Twin
Bridges, at which was bred and raised
the renowned Spokane, for many years
holder of the worlds one mile running
record.
In days gone by the Armstrong horse
ranch not only produced Spokane and
other famous 'gallopers," but was also
bred trotters, many members of which
won both fame and money on the trot-
ting turf. But Armstrong Park long
since lost its identity as a horse ranch,
and as such now lives in memory only.
On up the Ruby valley some dozen
miles beyond Alder, the railroad termi
nal, and some miles west of the valley
public road, lays snugly and pictur-
esquely nestled in the valley and foot
hills a truly pioneer trotting horse ranch

widely known Western speed sire, Com
modore Belmont 1910, son of Belmont g.
and Miss Gratz, by Commodore. son Of
Mambrino, sire of Abdallah /. Commo
dore Belmont was taken from Kentucky
where he was bred, to Montana many
years ago by Colonel Raymond, ther
owner and proprietor of Belmont Park
and besides becoming the sire of sever
standard trotters, including Meteor, 2:174
and the dams of twenty standard per
formers, including the trotting stallion
Monterey, ? :09l, he beautifully supplied
Montana, Washington, Oregon. Idaho
and even California with Foundation
stock" which has proven of inestimablt
value 10 these sections. Commodore
Belmont is long since dead, as is also hi
princely owner, and Belmont Park
though still grand estate, is no longe
on the trctting horse map.

LABORER FATALLY
WOUNDED IN BRAWL.
