day Be Seen Any Day in the Bride
Paths of Central Park.
To the general public the word bron-
.ho suggests everything wild and Vi
:ious In horse fiesh One associates the
usefulness Of the broncho almost en-
drely with the rugged West. That this
wiry little animal could ever develop
the points OF a good park horse would
be received with much reservation by
most persons.
Yet some ten years or more of cross
breeding, says Country Life In America,
has accomplished this somewhat amaz-
ing result. To-day one can see on the
bride paths of Central Park the we'll
groomed broncho fraternizing as an
equal with the blue grass thoroughbred
and his number is co.s,antly growing.
To be sure, he is no longer the ham,
merhead with a pronounced eve neck,
almost as devoid OF flesh as skeleton.
He has developed a fine crest in this up
breeding and can show as fine neck
as any Kentucky-bred horse
His middle piece is no longer distend-
ed from much eating of grass food,
nor is he so loosely Joined to his quar-
ters as his prototype. q Higher living
has rounded him into a strikingly we'll
proportioned saddle horse. In his new
estate he subsists less on the fresh,
juicy grasses, and the new order grows
quite different animal

sfnax a. Windhrear..

Study of Wtndbreakas
An effort to determine the value OF
windbreaks on farms Is being made BY
the Forest Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture. AT pres
ent windbreaks are planted haphazard
and many do not believe In them, SO II
is time we had some definite informa
tion ON the subject. II there Is par
ticular kind of tree that makes a bet
ter protection to crops without doing
any harm we should know 1t. The
Forest Service proposes to find out
Just how much, If any, and when wind
breaks increase crop yields. Instru
ments will be used to measure heat and
cold, moisture and dryness, both above
and below ground; to register the force
Of the wind near the windbreaks and
some distance away; to measure light
intensity and take note. of the effects OF
shade; to register frosts at different
distances from the trees and to keeT
account of the effect Of windbreaks on
the snow which covers the ground to
leeward In winter. Many other meas
urements and tests will be made and
elaborate data will be collected by ex-
perts who will have charge of the In
yestigation. Corn will be the first crop
studied behind windbreaks. Corn is a
particularly good crop to experiment
with because 1t is easily injured by
hot, dry winds, will not stand shading
and is very sensitive to frosts.
II 1t Is found, as is generally sup
posed, that windbreaks are decided
advantage to crop yields, 1t will be an
easy matter for the farmer to plant
trees in, his fence rows or along the
sides Of. his fields toward the prevail
Ing winds and thus protect his crops as
well as produce valuable crop of tim
Der. In view of the fact that our tim
ber supply Is rapidly waning, 1t stands
every farmer In hand to plant some
trees and to maintain the wood lots
upon his farm, SO IL windbreaks can be
used to advantage, he can easily make
the trees he plants serve a double pul'
pose. The results of the investigation
will be awaited with interest.-Far

about the world production OF metals
In 1907:
The production of copper showed a
decrease for the first time In fifteen
years, the total being $4,000 tons, OF
which the United States produced 421..

Lead production was about 992. 500

Tin mines yielded 9S.700 tons: the
consumption was 101. 100. OF which the
United States used S9.700.
The production Of zinc was $500
tons 226,Sss from the United States
and 20S.700 from Germany. The United
States also led In the consumption az
226S3S tons, Germany using IT4,900

Fairy Pictures.

One way OF producing the blend is
doubling the film, and this Is the meth
cd most often adopted when sunernat-
ural appearances or disappearances
are depleted. For example, fairy ap.
pears to child, talks a moment, and
then disappears. First, film of the
scene, with the child In the foreground.
Is taken, the object being gradually
thrown out OF focus as the registration
proceeds. Next. a film of the scene
and the child with the fairy Is taken,
out OF focus at first and gradually
brought into focus. Then the two films
are placed one upon the other so that
they register exactly, and the result Is
the apparent gradual naturalization
of the fairy out of nothing The fairy

Farm Fowls.

Fowls on the farm should in the very
nature Of things be the most profitable
OF all fowls. They cost little to feed
and the space they range over costs no
more on account of the presence of the
fowls. Most of them have free range
and forage for their food, this is profit
able for the owner and enjoyable to the
fowls
Most farm flocks are too small. They
might easily be increased In size with
little effort and small expenditure II
has been said that fowl will pay a
dollar year clear profit under such
conditions as prevail on the average
farm If they are rightly housed and
cared for. This is surely large enough
profit to be interesting to any farmer
Usually the farm fowls do not. get cred
1t for all they really do, for the farmer
seldom figures In the eggs and other
poultry products used BY bis own fam
lily, which make quite an item In the
course of year.
Not only the quantity should be in.
creased, but also the quality. There are
vastly greater possibilities for profit In
pure-bred fowls than In scrubs. They
look better, weigh and lay better, and
really are better In every way.-Agri.

Where Our Vegetables Originated.
In 1856 the potato was introduced
into Europe by the Spaniards, who
found 1t in Chile. At almost the same
date It was introduced into England
by the English, who had found 1t cul.
tivated by the Indians Of North Amer
lea. The sweet potato and the arti-
choke are also American vegetables.
Satisfy is found growing wild over
Greece, Italy and Algeria. Turnips and
radishes came originally from Central
Europe. Cabbage. which is Of remote
origin, is believed to be a European
vegetable. Asparagus found its origin
In temperate Western Asia. Eggplant
came to us from India. The carrot
grows wild throughout Europe. Asia
Minor, Siberia China. Abyssinia, North
Africa and the Canary islands. The
tomato comes from Peru, the cucum-
Der from India and the pumpkin from
Guinea.

New towns have been built up. rail-
