KING OF SIAM poke
ENGLISH FLUENTLY

John Barrett, who was for some
years the United States minister at
Bangkok, Siam. says that King Chula-
1ongkorn spoke English huently. and.
what is still more extraordinary, only
the purest classical English. More than
once. when I was obliged to present
to him travelling Americans who had
more money and political influence than
refinement and education, he would
seem astonished at some colloquial
word or phrase that they employed in
addressing him, and would ask me to
interpret its meaning. His knowledge
of good English was due to Mrs. Leon
owens. a Nova Scotian woman OF rare
merit, who was his teacher during his
youthful days."

Still Demand for Horses

That horses are being used in as
great degre IS ever Is evidenced by
the fact that the great Studebaker car
riage and wagon factories at South
Bend, Ind, are working 200 men on
horse drawn carriages. while the Stude-
baker repository in New York has Just
closed the best months sales since the
panic Of 1907, the number and value of
horse drawn vehicles disposed of in Oc-
tober having been the largest in several
years. Frederick A Lane. who has heen
identified with the Studebaker estab-
lishment in New York for II years. SAYS
there is a better demand and brighter
outlook for carriages this fall than he
has seen in a long time. In an inter
view Mr.. Lane recently said: I'm four
months we have sold close to 400 horse
drawn vehicles in New York, and, while
our margin of profit on sales has been
less than ever before. the fact that we
could find buyers for so many shows
that there is still q broad demand for
carriages. l do not find many who are
giving up automobiles and going back
to horses exclusively, but we do hear a
great many say that after buying car
they have found that they still need a
horse and runabout for getting around
on occasions when II isn't worth while
or convenient to use an automobile.
Then, again, there is need of a handy
wagon to carry baggage to and from
the station. and, finally, almost every
body comes back to the station rocka-
away for running to the depots.r-
Horse World.
The Indiana agricultural experiment
station has shown that dry fodder loses
% to IS per cent of it's nutrition, COM
pared with corn silage in feeding. That
ought TO commend the silage method of
saving the corn fodder to any one. If
one were losing that large a percentage
in handling his wheat, corn or other
cereals he would certainly change his
methods to something better when the
loss was shown to him.
