driving horses, and the abolition by
law of betting at horse races has
lowered the prices of racing horses
the invention of motors has had no
effect whatever upon the demand and
values for draft horses. which are
higher today than ever before.
No special skill is needed to ira
and fit a draft horse for market as is
required with driving and race horses,
the successful raising and preparing
of the latter kinds being really a pro-
fession in itself. In fact, the greatest
injury ever done the horse industry
of the United States was the general
craze for speed of two or three de-
cades ago, which resulted in the de-
terioration in both size and working
qualities of farm horses throughout
the whole country. On the other hand,
no greater service can be rendered
horse users in both city and country
than to encourage farmers in every
state to raise improved draft horses,
and the latter will be rewarded in
many ways for so doing.
The more desirable and profitable
types of draft horses are much, more
easily produced by the average farmer
especially where the public authorities
aid him in procuring the service Of a
certified and registered draft stallion
of outstanding merit for his mares,
than would be trotting, pacing or run
hing stock, in the value of which the
fancy of the buyer and expert trainer
become such determining factors.
Practical usefulness is the main de-
termining factor in the market value
of draft horse. Aside from the in
itial service fee, it cost no more to
raise good draft horse than it does
to raise a steer of the same age while
the former gives his work in return
for his keep and when sold will bring
as much money as two or three steers,
These are very important considera-
tions which the practical farmer may
turn to his advantage and profit.
No better opportunity exists today
for American farmers to make money
than that afforded in raising improved
draft horses, and the state of New
Jersey is to be congratulated on the
progressive action IF it's legislators in
providing for the most votal element
in such improvement, which is an
adequate supply of well-chosen regis
tered draft stallicns whose services
may be had at very moderate fees
In making this appropriation the
New Jersey legislature has established
a most excellent and public spirited
precedent. which the legislators of
other states may well follow, and
which would win them the approval
and gratitude of voters generally
throughout the nation

horses. notably of draft horses In
France and Belgium and coach horses
in Germany, the state of New Jersey
has recently appropriated a liberal
sum for the purchase of pure-bred
draft stations to be properly distrl-
buted about the state, to enable farm
ers who have good draft mares to
raise more valuable colts.
The legislators of New Jersey are
to be commended for this wise policy,
which is in line also with the prIn-
ciples advocated by James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern Rail-
way system; John Splan. the noted
horseman, who in his address to farm
ers at the last International live stock
show at Chicago advised them to raise
more draft horses, and many other
prominent authorities, including the
heads of agricultural colleges through
out the United States.
The farmers of New Jersey cannot
do a better thing for their own in
terests than to patronize literally
these government-pr provided pure-bred
stations. The demand for draft
horses was never so great as it is to-
day. especially for draft horses of good
breeding, which factor gives improved
size. bone, action and quality.
Such horses as farmers having good
mares can raise with the aid of these
superior stations, will prove to be the
most profitable things produced on the
farm. The useful work which they can
do will not only pay a. large share of
their cost but is just the thing most
needed to develop their desirable mar
ket qualities, such as wind, muscle.
obedience and steady, free action in
walking, leaving mostly for profit the
handsome price obtained for that kind
of horses at market.
The supply of such horses is not
nearly equal to the demand at present
and buyers of the very best draft
horses for use in this country are
now in Europe trying to buy them
there, where the supply is none too
great for home demands.
The farmers throughout this country
seem not to have realized the situation
in the horse industry and in many in
stances have been obliged to send to
city markets to buy horses for their
own farm work.
If the supply of draft horses is now
materially below the demand, nOtWith-
standing the reduced volume of manu-
featuring and other business since the
panic of 1907, how will it be when the
full tide of manufacturing, ETC., is re-
sumed, as bids fair to be the cas-
before the present year is out?

Ices are beyond our means. a
friend said to me the other day. And
if one has in mind those sold by con-
PETITIONERS and caterers they are be-
yond the reach of most ordinary
housekeepers. But there is a cheap
WAY of procuring ices as well rs an
extensive one. and that is to make
them at home.
And in order to do this You need
neither expensive utensils nor costly
ingredients.
II YOU can conveniently afford an
inexpensive freezing apparatus, of
course il is better than a makeshift,
and there are excellent ones on the
market holding two quarts costing
only a small sum.
But in any ordinary house you wiz
find effective substitutes, and the only
expenditure need be for, the ice and
salt for the freezing mixture, and the
various ingredients for the ices them
selves
Apparatus required:
A freezing machine or freezing pot
and ice tub.
A spatula. An ice pick.
Homely substitutes:
A large milk can or zinc bath.
A bone paper knife.
A large darning needle.
Rules to Remember
l. Use good ingredients.
> Use rough ice (chipped smalD
and common salt, allowing one pound
of salt to seven pounds of ice.
8. Put the ice and salt in layers in
the freezer.
A. If the freezer is of tin, do not
keep the ice longer in it than is nee
essary. as it is apt to lose it's delicate
flavor. and sometimes becomes discol-
ored.
5. Avoid using copper utensils.
g. If the mixture is over-sweetened,
it will not freeze firmly: while the
other extreme causes it to freeze too
hard
I. Do not put the mixture to be
frozen into the freezer while it is still
warm; wait until it is cold. so as not
to waste the freezing mixture.
s. Scrape the ice mixture from the
sides of the pot frequently, and beat it
in smoothly; otherwise, the ice will
be rough and unevenly frozen.
g. Stop up any loose lid or likely
leakage in the vessel containing the
mixture to be frozen with lard; if this
is not done, the salt will penetrate
through and ruin it.
10. For the same reason carefully
wipe around the lid and edges when
opening the vessels.
Roughly speaing. there are three va

Strawberry Cream Ice.
| This is perhaps the most popular of
all. and if the fresh fruit is unobtain-
able, you can use instead pounl pot

very little sugar will be needed.
! Required:
One pound of strawberries.
Quarter of a pound of sugar.

A few drops of cochineaI.
A little lemon-juice.
Stalk the fruit, then rub it through

lemon juice into the puree.
Whip the cream until it viii just

into the fruit, and add enough ,,.-hi-
neal to make it a delicate pink shade.
Put the mixture into the fleeLing

Vanilla Ice.
This has custard for it's foundation
If a cheaper variety is preferred, less
en- the number of eggs; and for cheap
kind use some good custard- powder in
place of eggs; there is one excellent
make favored already with vanilla,
thus reducing the cost still more.
Required:
Six eggs
One quart of milk.
Quarter of pound of sugar
Vanilla to taste.
Bring the milk with the sugar in it
to the boil, then let it cool slightly,
next beat up the eggs. and strain them
into the milk
Pour this custard into a jug, place
it in a pan with boiling water to come
halfway up it, and stir it until the
custard thickens; it must not actu-
ally boil or it will curdle.
Strain it into a cold jug, let it cool
then flavor carefully with vanilla. Then
freeze as already directed.

Smiths testimony, that he had 70

proposition and Kelly left to get the
whiskey. He returned shortly with
Smiths 20 cents worth, took the 20

another house to drink it.
After they reached the house Smith
took drink out of his own bottle
and he said the drink put him to sleep.
