oH1o's BRONZE PERcHERoN. /,

bronze figure of Percheron horse lately
presented to the Ohio State university
by the Socete Hippique Percheronne OF
France. The gift was made in recogni-
ton of the part Ohio men have played
for over a half century in importing
Percherons to America. Since the day
when the great stallion Louis Napoleon
was brought to Ohio in 1851 citizens of
this state have led as importers and
producers OF this valuable breed. The
figure has a total height of twenty-five
inches and is representative of a perfect
Percheron horse
that will develop into good drafters.
He takes pride in his horses: he loves
them. 1t seems to come natural to
him. He takes good care of the brood
mare. works her and feeds her care
fully, and here lies one of the main
factors that has brought the breed to
the high degree of perfection which it
holds today. When the colts are about
eighteen months old he assigns them to
some light work. They are hardy
and soon become accustomed to it and
enjoy Z. They are abHniantly fed
and with this exercise they acquire a
strong HEALTHY condition.

district for Wany centuries. In 1.3o.

Salt as a Fertilizer

alt has long been recognized as va.
liable fertilizing agent, especially for use
on light, sandy or worn-out land. 1t is
claimed that an oat crop on such soil is
more than doubled by the use of salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont have
been accustomed for many years to OBJ
tain their FertiliziRg 1t of c. s. Page
of Hyde Park, VT. The salt he sells is
that which has been used on Hides,
Skins, etc., in his hidehou>e and contains
more or less waste matter that really
adds to its fertilizing value. Last year
the demand far exceeded the supply and
Mr.. Pages stock was exhausted early in
the season, so that he was obliged to dis
appoint many farmers who sent in their
orders late. IL is advisable, therefore,
that farmers who intend using Pages Salt
this season should place their orders early.
The price this year is only $500 per

company makes an especially low rate on

TALK ABOUT
UNIVERSAL PEACE

Georgetown, May 20-In accord with
the general call, Peace Meeting was
held here last Sunday under the direc-
tion of the Relief Society and the Y. L.
NJ. /. A. of this place. A splendid pro-
gram was gotten up for the entertain
ment of those attending, There was a
good representation of the inhabitants,
and all seemed interested in the cause
of peace. There were several interest
ing speeches in favor of the peace move
ment now in vogue at the conferences
now periodically held at the Hague, in
Holland. A sketch of its introduction
was related, naming the three principal
questions that agitated the mind Of the
Gear of Russia. Nicholas End.
1st.-How can the burden of military
lam in times of peace be lightened?
2nd-How may any war begun be
amelioratedf
3rd-How may disputes be settled
without war;
All the questions were satisfactorily
answered by certain great financier Ia
Polish Jew, by the name of Jean de
Bloch in 1885, that the Gear was in
duced to take the initiative, and see
what could be done. Accordingly in
1893 representatives of 2t nations were
called together, and all responded but
one nation-Italy. Although England
, was not fayorably impressed, and did
i not take any active part, slll her rep
, resentatives were present, and to their
: honor, be 1t said, that during the last
conference of 1907, England was fully
educated TO the fact of the necessity q
such conference and did noble work
Although practically these conferences
have not proven successful, they, at ths
same-time. have not been failure By
any means.

{ devastation In human lives. and th'
: treasure involved in the carrying on O
i war, extending from individuals Il
communities and from communities t,
