INSTRUCT THE COLTS

The first year of colts life should

learn more easily when six months
old than when year old. 1t can al
SO be controlled more easily. Hence
it is wise to handle the colt earl. Its
early training should not stop with
breaking to the halter. It should be
handled until it will drive as well as
lead. To teach it all this and to
keep it from forgetting what it has
learned, is little trouble, but If it

Estimates Of Panama Canal Cost,
The proposal to increase the ap-

Panama Canal is not unexpected and
should not provoke serious criticism.
At even the largest price now sug-

AUTOMOBILE ON THE FARM.

Recently, in the presence of 8
humber of farm neighbors, Frank
Hardart, Jr., of Glenloch, Pa, gave
an exhibition of the use of his auto
mobile to grind corn, cut fodder and
otAer things where power was need
ed. He had lacked up the auto from
the ground, and used one of its
wheels revoIved by the auto engine
as driving wheel for.ths belt to
operate the feed grinder and fodder
cutter. It is likely that many uses
for the auto will be found when the
roads are too bad for travel, and
when power is needed and can be
utilized in the operation of farm ma.

WHAT WIFE SAYS GOES"
But It Sometimes is Bad For the
Painting.

When a property-owner knows
nothing about paint 1t is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the
painter. It would not be so IL the
property-owner would always hire a
skilled painter and then really leave
everything to him. But the house
owner so often fools himself on one
or the other of these things.
The skilled painter in every COM
munity has some of the most incom-
petent competitors that ever vexed a
| conscientious workman or contractor,
| and the incompetents get jobs gener-
ally by working cheap. In the next
place. when the skilled painter is
hired, they do not leave everything
to him, as so many property-owners
boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have this painters
mess around my house month" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of lot of wasted painting
money.
II the painter stays away a few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones work. I won't
stand it."
What chance does painter have to
do good work for man who is con-
tinually nagging at him and other
wise handicapping him without
meaning it, of course)? A poor, job
is the inevitable result of such inter-
ference.

TIE sALTAIR SPEEDWAY.

The plan of a number of the leading
automobilists of the city TO construct a
speedway TO Saltair is deserving of tie
best consideration. AS The Herald I'M
derstands it, the idea is for the auto
owners to raise the money by the sale
Of stock in company, which VII be
necessary to build the road. About
$4,000 will be required. The road will
be built along the north side of the
Saitair railroad track and will be
twelve miles in length, straight as the
fight of an eagle. On Friday evening
meeting of auto owners will be held
at the Commercial club. at which the
details Of the plan viii be gone into
With a view of reaching a final deci-
sion. II the plan Is adopted the speed

list of attractions OF salt Lake. The
track will afford the finest speedway
in America, with the possible exception
OF Ormonde beach. in Florida II is
the belief OF the projectors of the idea
that automobile and bicycle races can
be given on the speedway, which will
afford a handsome yearly return on the
investment. Whether profitable or not.
the idea is well worth consideration.
The automobile owners of Salt Lake
and the state are well TO do and can
easily afford the expenditure. UIti-
naately the purpose is to repair the
road from Saltair to Garfield. so that
