The quantity Of the above necessary

bushels Of oats, one and three-fourths
gallons Of molasses and three and one
half quarts of llnseed meal. The lat

tional cost per month Of the above.
Horses that have been broken to har-
ness should be driven on the road

Colts not broken to harness should
be broken to lead to bride either by
the side or In front Of pony or
grooms running by their side. The
price Of we'll bred colts offered at pub
lie sale will largely depend upon what
they show in the sales ring. The best
gated colt In the world that has not
been educated and drilled to lead to
bride will make poor showing In
the ring. The statement that the
youngster is perfectly green and has
never been taught to lead will not help
the matter In the least. The purchaser
will pay for just what he sees and no
more.
A hint to the wise is sufficient The
better your animals show the more
money they Will bring. 1t is just as
important for farmers and small coun-
try breeders who have horses to sell to
put them in the best possible condition
as for those who send their animals to
the sales ring. City dealers who retail
TO customers are always ready to buy
animals that are fat and sleek.

THE BASlLISK.
How the Fabulous Monster Was Pic
tured by Ancient Writers.

tuFCo OJ NOClcnh
The basilisil was the most famous
Of the many fabulous monsters Of me-
diaeval folklore According to the
popular notion. y vas hatched by q
toad from an egs laid by the cock of
the common barnyard fowl. In the
ancient Di ture books It was usually
represented as an eight limbed ser
pent or dragon. sometimes with and
sometimes without wings. Its name
is derived from basillscos. meaning n
little king. and was applied because
the creature was figured with circle
Of white spots on its head which much
resembled n crown. The cockatrice, q
species Of basilisk, besides having q
crown, possessed q comb which was
an exact counterpart Of the cocks.
Pliny assures us that the basilisk
had a voice which "struck terror to
the hearts Of men, beasts and ser
penis" The Bible classes 1t with the
lion. the serpent and the dragon as
one Of the most formidable creatures.
Old writers-Pliny, Bascho and others
say that Its bite was mortal In every
case, that its breath was suffocatine
and that no plant would grow in the
vicinity Of its lair. Its dead body
was often suspended In belfries to pre-
vent swallows from building there.
