Does it pay to offer large purses for
races at the county fairs? Judging by
experience we say, yes. All the coun-
ty fairs that offered big purses this
year had the biggest crowds, the larg-
est fields OF horses and made the big
gest dividends. This answers the
question fully.

Horse Notes
Some Likely Youngsters.

George w. Leavitt Is greatly pleased

among which are some of the best

trotting- breeding state. Among them

lot of fine Cochato yearlings in one

he left homo he thought he owned the
best Cochato colt In Kentucky. but /
must admit that these FIVE yearlings
are just as good as mine. In fact
they are the best five that have ever

Partisan Sage, the Hair Grower, Is
Now Sold In America on Money
Back Plan.

It's a mighty good thing for the
women of America that Partisan Sage
can now be obtained In every town of
consequence.
No preparation for the hair has
done so much to stop falling hair and
eradicate dandruff and make womens
hair beautiful as Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is the only certain
destroyer of the dandruff microbe
which is the cause of 81 per cent of
hair troubles.
These pernicious, persistent and
destructive little devils thrive on the
ordinary hair tonics.
Parision Sage Is such an extraor-
binary and quick acting rejuvenator
that G. R. Fogg, who Is the agent In
Skowhegan, guarantees 1t to cure
dandruff, stop falling hair and itch
ing scalp in two weeks or money
back.
1t is a magnificent dressing for
women who desire luxuriant, lustrous
hair that compels admiration.
And a large bottle Of Partisan Sage
costs only 80 cents at G. r. Fogg's
and all over America. 2w47

Live Stock Suggestions.

1t has taken IS years OF intelligent
effort for breeders to get the Poland
China hog down to the splendid, easy
feeding, compact, well-hnished animal
that II Is today.
1t is estimated that the cost of
maintaining 100 breeding ewes In
good condition Is 81 per day, or one
cent per head when kept on corn
fodder, beets and oats.
Breeders like to have sheep with
plenty of meat on the under part OF
the body. A thick dock and thick,
strong neck are also necessary, by
which can be judged the amount OF
muscle along the back.
Salt and common tobacco leaves
and stems will, 1t Is claimed, keep
sheep from having stomach worms.
Most farmers who have tried 1t are
coming to believe that the increased
value of food by cooking is not worth
the trouble.

Now that the days are shorter yoa
will be doing chores sometimes after
dark. Make it rule never to set the
lantern down on the floor. Hang 1t
up where 1t will not be knocked over.
1t Ia an awful thing to have the barn
burn up. BY the way, harness snap
suspended from the ceiling by a bit
of old pump chain is a good thing to
hang the lantern on. Hang IL just
above the reach of your head.
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1909-12-02

The breeders who expect to be up
with the times must not neglect to
patronize the futurities, and when the
foal Is born to promptly keep its en-
try alive. Nothing indicates more
truly that the breeder is himself alive
than this fact A wise breeder under
stands that If he Is raising for the
market and expects to sell his colt
to the best buyers. he must do this,
for its puts a much larger value on
the colt that can show something.

In New Zealand handicaps are made
by time start instead of yard start as
here, and the horses are started by
the following method: At the start
ing post Ia a clock with big dial
marked with plain figures which Is
started at the word "go," and each
horseman starts when the hand of the
clock comes TO his handicap. This
Is the best method of starting time

Death of Fast Augusta Mare.

Horsemen in general will regret to
learn of the death of the chestnut
mare Nelsonita owned by ]. Manley
Nichols of Augusta, which occurred
last Friday after a short Illness from
pneumonia. Nelsonita was ten years
old and was one of the best known
race mares in that section OF the
State. She was sired by the great
Nelson out of a mare by Echo and
from both sire and dam she inherited
the blood of trotters. Her dam was
also the dam of Bertha Wilkes, trial
2.24; Jack Woolly, trial as Agar
old 2.21; Cremona, who won mark
of 2.20A at Topsham this fall; of
Phebeson, who though very fast has
not been marked; also of the black
mare recently sold by G. A. Stafford
of Hallowell and of the chestnut mare
owned by Dr. ]. d. Nutting, Jr., also
of Hallowell, both of which horses
are most promising steppers. Mel
sonita was very fast She had a mark
of 223A but could show much faster.
She was also a great brush horse and
was a familiar figure on the ice track
at Hallowell. Two years ago she won
the silver cup in the free-for-all class
on the ice, and on three different oc-
casions she showed a quarter in bet
ter than 30 seconds.

Growing colts should be allowed to
run out every day that the weather

There is no class of stock that can in

Philharmonic Society in manner which recalls
his advent among them as a guest" conductor
some years ago Then he stirred them into
pretty conmotion with the which he
conducted the Pathetic" symphony OF TschaikoW-

Nevertheless, Mr.. Safonoff's Interpretation, with

must have set many in yesterdays audience TO
wondering how much better orchestra that has

Boston, be made by making il permanent
