"a Happy New Year"
While confined to his bed, nursing
a shotgun wound in his leg, his gro
Gerry store in West Hickman caught
fire and burned TO the ground about
400 yesterday morning. None OF the
stock was saved, as the blaze had
made good Roadway when discover
ed.
He purchased this store about two
months ago from Jas. White-both
building and stock. He carried about
$500 insurance on the whole thing,
and will lose about the same amount.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
II is rumored that two men were in
the vicinity of the store few min
utes before the fire broke out. IL
is also said that these two men. who
were on horseback, were overheard
to say 'the d thing is caught al
right; let's CO." The men rode off.
We cannot vouch for this story, but
1t is the concensus of opinion that
store was set afire.

PLAN QUICK SERVICE
FOR SOUTHERN COTTON
Better Steamer Service Has
Has Been Arranged From
GOena to Gulf
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. Nov. In order to
handle more effectively the large cotton
trade between the southern states and
Italy, and to provide direct transporta-
ton for Italian products to ports and in
terror points i'm the south, a new steames
service has been arranged between Genoa
and ports on the Gulf of Mexico, accord
ing to United States Consul General
James a. Smith, of Genoa.
A contract for this service has been
entered into between the governing board
of the port of Genoa and the Alta Italia
and Creole lines of steamers by which a
regular service will be maintained by the
combination of these two lines under the
name of La Creola.
The new company obngates itself to ar
range with American railways so that
through bills OF lading to American ports
could be issued at Genoa.
Fourteen steamers, with a combined
tonnage of S6.S65, will be operated in the
service. Several other steamers will be
added, bringing the tonnage to 100000
The new lines will offer better facilities
than heretofore have existed for export
ers Of cotton and other merchandise from
southern states to Italy and adjoining
countries.

CARE OF THE BROOD MARE.
The Kind of Attention Given the Mare
Greatly Influences the Colt.
Nv 8. @. Miller.

ANY breeder of experience, knows well
that almost as much depends on the
brood mare as on the stallion in the
raising of any breed Of good horses.
Many colts take their conformation
from their mother, especially from their
shoulders back. For instance, If a mare
has wide, ragged hips, her colts are
most liable to inherit this tendency.
Many colts also inherit their dispositions
from their dams.
Brood mares should be sound, of quiet
disposition, strongly built and they
should be we'll cared for.
1t is a severe loss to ,the farmer who
pays S25 stud fee. loses two or three
months work Of his mare, and then
loses the colt at birth. or afterward.
and all from neglect of some sort.
The mare can be worked up to a week
or two before the colt is dropped. In
fact, she is better off for the regular
exercise, but she should be handled by
careful man, who will not excite her,
and she should have a roomy box stall
for sleeping quarters
Although many may disagree with me
am firmly convinced from nearly 80
years experience on breeding farms,
that it is a risky business PURCHASING
aged mares, who have spent the best
years Of their life doing work in the
cities, and trying to make brood mares
of them.
Even If they are only eight or ten
years old, it is an expensive experiment
The reason is obvious
In the first place when a mare has
arrived at that age, and has never had
colt her chnces Of getting in foal are
lessened each year.
Furthermore, it is safe to say that a
reasonable proportion of these mares
have clunked their colts, and for this
reason they have been sent from the
farms and sold in the cities, where they
can do excellent work. In choosing
brood mares, always buy young ones,
say from three to five years old, then
you should be able to count on all of
them getting in foal, or certainly nearly
every one, when, If you pick up a lot Of
secondhand mares, of uncertain age
your percentage of colts will be ex-
tremely uncertain.
One good, sound young mare, bought
from some reliable farmer, or breeder,
is worth more for breeding purposes
than half a dozen so-called bargains"
picked up in the city.

GOOD CROPS NECESSARY.

Who is most interested In a good crop
and a sure crop? The farmer, the man
ufacturer, the railroad man, merchant,
or the banker? The more l study the
problem the more 1t looks as though
the farmer is the best fixed to stand
poor crop, and that it hurts the others
more. The farmer looses less sleep over
it than any of the others and proper
tionately fewer farmers fail than any
of the other lines of business mention
ed In a time of poor crops. The farmer
can get his living from the farm, can
reduce expenses and economic in way
that the others cannot. From this it is
plain that it is of vital interest to all
that crops be a sure thing for each year,
and each of these industries which has
really grown out of the farm ought to
put forth their best effort to see that
the farmer handles his farm accord
ing to the best that we know of farm
ing.-G. r. p.
