A Cosy Cot.

AS neat little home as one would see
in days travel is the house on Elm
street near the passenger depot recently
finished by c. c. Severance. The build
ing sets on little rise of land, and is
nicely located, both for comfort and
convenience. Though the building
would not look it from the outside, there
are eleven rooms there, and they are To-
Gated in such a manner that the most
good can be gotten out of every one
The first floor is fitted with hard wood
floors in each room and the kitchen is a
model of convenience; every detail has
been planned out, from the stationary
tubs and accessible pantry to the lockers
for the kitchen sundries that the lady of
the house likes to have in the culinary
department A device in the pantry al
lows Madame or her aide to swing out
the flower barrel on a hinge, taking none
of the weight
The large front entrance is connected
by wide stair with the second floor, as
well as with the parlor and dining-room.
Ample room for the stair is afforded by
small "ell' to the building, which pro-
vides for large passage way to the up
per floors without taking too much room
below.
Sunny chambers are on the second
floor, and the bath room is here with
everything up to.date.
The house has cellar underneath the
whole structure, and novelty in house
building is shown in the passage to the
cellar which is vast improvement on
the hatchway of bygone days, as the
entrance to the cellar is made through a
small and attractive lean-to that furnishes
a dry entrance below in all weathere, and
will not rot away.
The home was planned by Mr.. Sever
ance and put up under the able guidance
of Mr. Isaac Lavonche of this town.

it would seem practical to allow the NOM
inators in each race to select the handi-
cappers, this plan would relieve the rae
ing associations of all trouble. in the mat
ter, as the nominators could not find any
fault with their own handicappers.
We are glad to hear that Readville
will be again in the Grand Circuit, under
the able management of Mr.. Andy WEIGH,
the popular owner of Charter Oak Park
l would be hard blow to the New Eng
land horse breeders association to lose
their old home and incidentally to all the
breeders of New England. At the recent
Kentucky sale the last day was devoted
to the sale of saddle horses, and ia head
passed under the hammer at the remark
able average of 1912. 1t would seem
that our Vermont breeders of Morgans
would do well to devote little more
time to the development of the saddle
gaits in the horses, as in the old days the
Morgans had no superiors under saddle.
1t is rather a curious circumstance
that Controller, the holder of the har-
ness record of the world for ten miles,
27:231a, and of the wagon record of the
world at twenty miles, 1857, should
have been born on the Pacific coast and
carry large per cent Of Vermont Nor
gan blood. We have before us COPY of
affidavit of his breeder, Mr.. Charles
Greitman, certifying that he was sired by
Mayboy, son of John Nelson, and that
Controller was not sired by the horse
General Taylor. We have the statement
of the man who owned John Nelson be-
fore he went to California and showed
him at the New Jersey State Fair; that
he was by Trustee and his dam was
Vermont mare said to be by Sherman
Morgan. Molly st. Clair, the dam of
May was by the Morgan horse st.
Clair, that was bred in Illinois by Nor
gan horse from Vermont and from
Canadian dam. St. Clair was taken
across the plains to California in 1S49.
We have copy of stud bill of ST. Clair in
1856 from which we extract the follow
ing: "The celebrated full. bred Morgan
horse, St. Clair, will stand this season at
$40 for the single service, SIS for the sea
son, every day in the week Except Fri
days and Saturdays at Miller's Ranch,
four miles below Sacramento, east of
Sutterville; on Fridays and Saturdays at
Millers stable, Sacramento corner l and
Fourth streets, from the LIST of March to
the LIST of July 1856"
The above shows that st. Clair was adj
vertised as a Morgan before he became
celebrated, which at the time was never
questioned and has not been since by any
party who had any knowledge in regard
to it.
This statement not only came from re-.
peated advertisements of the horse, in
his early life in California, but also dir
ectly from the man who brought him
over the plain who had no interest in
misstating and did not misstate. All the
evidence connected with this horse will
appear in the American Stallion Register
under the head of St. Clair. All this
with plenty of supporting evidence
which we have as to the Morgan blood of
the dam of John Nelson gives Controller
strong infusion of Morgan breeding.

According to the Feby. Crop Reports,
issued by the U. S. government through
the Secretary of Agriculture, horse val
ues in the United States have increased
from $60.25 per head on Jany. LIST, 1907
to sos 81 on Jany. LIST, 1909. This is truly
encouraging to horse breeders. Accord.
ing to the same authority, it costs no
more to raise horses than cattle, while
the value of the horses exceeds that of
the cattle by more than SO per cent.
While the various racing associations
are discussing the problems arising from
the various phases of the handicapping
system which is to be pretty generally
