The saddle Horse.

The business of raising and train
Ing saddle horses has long been given
careful attention in Kentucky, Tonnes
see, Missouri and the southern por-
tons of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
and, to a less degree of late years,
In many other parts of the country.
The work has been eminently success
full. and a distinct, prepotent, fairly
perfect breed of saddlers has been
created. American gated horses" are
the most popular throughout thu coun-
try, and their schooling has Seen
brought to high plane of perfection
OF recent years the walk. trot and
canter" saddle horse. such as IL popu-
lar throughout Great Britain, has
come more into vogue. This class Ia
cludes most of the hunters, but many
trotters have been exported for use
In the hunting field and have in Ulany
instances quite equaled the Irish hun
ter in the field. In the breeding OF
saddIers performers occasionally are
found among various blends OF blood,
but. for assured success in production,
mares of saddle-horse hood or OF trot-
ting blood, If of correct confor nation,
should be used in preference to all
others. and should always be mated
with q pure-bred, recorded saddle
horse.

Poultry Pasture.

1t is distressing to see poultry con-
fined in a small, bare yard. 1t is
very shortsighted way to manage. 1t
Is no more necessary to feed chickens
all the stuff they eat than 1t is to
feed cows in the stable the year round.
Chickens like to forage for part Of
their living, and it is great deal
cheaper and wonderful sight better
to let them do it. You may not have
a farm to let them range over, but
you can provide good-sized yard and
shut them out of 1t while green stuff
Is growing, then reverse the process
and plant something in the other part.
Vegetation induces moisture and
helps to collect supply of insects and
worms that the chickens like to feed
on. 1t supplies a mixed ration that
Is especially valuable to poultry

Managing the Mich COW.

The cow is not as delicate an an
imal as is the horse; nevertheless,
there are circumstances which exer-
else considerable influence on the
quality as well the quantity of milk
she produces. Weather has much to do
to lessen the percentage of cream and
to vary the amount of milk.
Either to be worried by flies on a
hot summers day or exposed to the
cold winds of fall or winter is sufi-
Client to cause COW to give but Dor.
ton of the milk she has within her.
Feeding, too. has much to do with the
quality of the milk. If COW Is fed
regularly on wellmatured hay, or ten.
der, succulent grass, she will produce
better than if she is compelled to eat
coarse and badly made grass or dusty
and rough heritage
But it must be remembered that an
overfed COW will not give an extra sup
ply of milk, nor will she produce milk
OF superior quality. Overlooking Ia
more likely to do injury to the COW.
An intelligent 'cowman" will know
just how much the COW needs, and he
VIII feed regularly and Systematically,
and In consequence the supply of milk
is more likely to be regular and con-
tinuous. This experienced person will
know exactly the period the animal
should be MIXED before calving. He
knows the evil of long milking; that
It Is detrimental to both the COW and
the offspring. He knows that a con-
tinuous strain on the constitution of
the COW Is made by robbing her of that
which should keep her in prime con.
dltion for calving, and which leaves
her In poor trim for some time after
the calf is born, resulting in weakly
young one.

Through the Storm


The final rupture came two years
after their marriage. Emily in re-
bellious anger told her husband that
she would no longer live in the same
house with his mother. "You must
choose between US" she said, her splen-
did voice vibrating with all the I'M
leashed emotion of her being. yet with
no falterlng in it. "If she stays,

Stephen Fair, harassed and bewil-
dered, was angry with the relentless
anger of a patient man, reused at
last.
Go, then" he said. sternly. "Pl
never turn my mother from my door
for any woman's within"
The stormy red went out of EN-
ily's face, leaving It like a marble
mask.

return

hold your marriage vow so lightly.
When your senses return you are well
come to come back to me. will never
ask you to-"
Without another word Emily turned
away. That night she went back to

her to be wronged and ill-used WON

So sweet path 1t is that /
And all the flowers love it;
The gracious goldenrod sways nigh
The asters bend above it.
In ruby or in golden cup
Its name the lichen pledges,
And crimson-berried vines creep up,
Bejeweling its edges.
The bees and crickets sing its songs,
The shadows kiss it lightly,
While butterflies in golden throngs
Fit up and down it brightly.
And little pines with jealous frown
Try here and there to hide 1t,
Lest failing stars should hasten down
To WOO it if they spied it.
And L. too, fain would keep its way
Safe hidden mid the grasses
Sweet path, dear path, down which each
day
My little true love passes.

Facts About The Ho+..

When the author of "Gil Bias" re-
marked some time ago that facts are
stubborn things" he delivered himself
OF a bit of wisdom which is just as
true to-day as it was then, IL not
more so. Facts have malicious habit
of upsetting the theories of the wisest
and best informed.
For instance, some of the overzeal-
Gus followers of Nautilus feared that
mankind soon would be stacked up six
deep all over the wide world and
starving to death at that This might
have come about, perhaps, had not
people and things interfered some
what.
Take also the case of the man who
affirmed In 1897 that the horse must
go-nay. that he was even then far
on his way. This man based his
prophecy OIL the fact that the average
price for the animal in that year had
dropped to $37 in the United States,
although 1t had been as high as SCI
in 1893. Although by 1900 the aver

$44. the automobile then was seen
coming down the boulevard at full
speed and the trolley car was gaining
by leaps and bounds. So the prophet
insisted that he was right. The horse
was doomed.
However, he seems to have been mis-
taken. According to the last annual
report of the Department of Agrieul-
ture there were 19,992,O00 horses In
the United States in 1908. They were
worth s1.S67 100000. In 1900 the
horses numbered only 1887 900 and
their aggregate value was 5000 900, 900.
Against the average value of $44 for
each horse in 1900, the average value
in 1908 was $92
