(By J. D.. DUMIRE.)
 The horse for the farmer is the draft bred horse. He is the horse that can be raised by the common farmer with little trouble and expense. He is in reach of almost every farmer in the country. It is profitable business on the farm to raise few good colts. say good colts, for it is just as easy to raise good ones as poor ones.
 It is just as easy to raise good horses as good cattle or good sheep or good hogs. It does not pay to raise poor ones-leave that for the other fellow. The farmers that raise good stock of any kind are the men that se- lect good sires. The men that have good herds and good fiocks are the men that select pure-blood sires from one or the other of the several pure breeds and stick to the breed of their choice, if in cattle it is Shorthorns in a few years his herd is all the same type and color.
 If it is Angus or Herefords, the re- suits are the same. If this is true of cattle and sheep, it is certainly true of the horse. Fellow farmers, select a sire from one of the pure breeds of draft horses-Percheron, Shire or Bel gian-it matters but little which breed.
 It is only a matter of choice to the breeder himself Be sure that the sire is good individual. Breed just such mares as you have. The better the dam the better the result. Always breed their produce to pure-bred sire of the same breed.
 In a short time your mares are all alike and of the same type and dispo- sition, all bearing family resem- blance. You will not have the disposi- tion of a broncho in one and the trot- ting horse in the other, but you will have class of horses that are easily handled, easily fitted for the market and an everyday market at home and abroad
 You need not spend any extra time and expense in looking after buyers; the buyers are always looking after this kind. If they get wire-cut or blemish they are the kind that are

useful to keep for any kind of farm work. A good mare with proper care will do just as much service on the farm and raise colt as will a geld ing, and you have the colts for the keep.
 Never allow the colt to follow the dam when in harness at work, as the colt will do much better if left in the barn, and the dam will be better off without the colt Give the little fel. low some oats and bran in it's trough it will soon learn to eat and forget it's dam.
 A colt is easily weaned, and if proper care Is taken 1t will not stop growing until it is matured. Breed in this way and in very short time 1t will be almost impossible to raise a poor colt. Look at the farmer who breeds one year to draft horse and the produce afterward bred to some cheap mongrel. His horses in ten years breeding are no better than when he began. The price of service fees should hardly be considered. It is the matured horse to be considered. It costs as much to raise low-priced horse as to raise high-priced one. It is all in the breeding.
 Always use pure-bred draft sire a better individual than the dam-and then you are sure of gaining. Select one breed or the other and stick to it and you will come out ahead and be on the right road to success in the horse-breeding business.

COW IS KEY
 TO SUCCESS
To Compete With OIeomar2arine Makers Oairymen Must study to Produce Butter Cheap1y
 as Possible.

Liberal feeding does not produce profitable results unless the food IS ol the proper kind. Successful dairying depends on good cows and balanced rations.
 If dairymen expect to compete witn the makers of oleomargarine they must study how to produce butter as cheaply as possible. Until consumers are educated to eat butter at hign prices they will turn to the substitute at about certain price for real put ter.
 It is estimated that one pound or butter Is the amount one person who is not obliged to restrict his appetite will consume in one week. It is also estimated that for the 8g,00o,000 peo- pie in this country we produce only

I SURELY NO PLACE FOR HER
in the Presence of Such Magic There Seemed But One Thing for
 Maid to Do.

Prof. Percival Lowell, the eminent Martian astronomer, said in recent interview in New York:
 "The Martian canals are not Pana- ma canals. The word canals you know, really means lines It shouldn't be taken literally, as the servant girl in Boston took the parlor magic.
 "An amateur magician in a Beacon street house was going through his tricks while maid passed in and out with refreshments.
 "The magician was reading letters placed under a rug as the maid brought in tray of lemon ices.
 What is this?' a spectator asked.
 "'That is B. the magician an- swered; and, sure enough, his answer was correct.
 "The maid looked with astonish- ment at the letter which had been hidden under the thick rug. She turned her gaze on the handsome young magician who had read it. Then, setting down her tray of ices, she hid her rosy face in her hands and ran out of the room.
 "'What's the good O me clothes? she cried"

'FI6HfEKS I|l HE I||)l]0HITY
Veteran Member Of Congregation Was Tired of Part He Had Been
 Playing.

Representative Harry Maynard of Virginia tells the story of how re- ligious old negro in his district put a stop to the exercise of Christian char ity in the congregation of which he was a member. It seems that it was a practise in the church to excom- municate for one year any member who had been guilty of blood fight" that is, any man who had attacked another with pistol or razor.
 At the end of the year, if the of fender wished reinstatement, he could go to the "mourners' bench" rise and declare his repentance, and be forgiven by the congregation. This went on for many years. At last a young darky who had been in particularly objectionable broil appeared for rein statement. The pastor made an elo quent appeal to the congregation and everybody began to shout and say Amen"
 It was at this point that the old negro arose and said hotly:
 Look hyah, pahson; eber since been membuh of dis congergashun dar ain been nothin' but fightin an fuhgivin'-an' I been doing all de fuhgivin'. Pse tired of it!"
 That broke up the meeting. lar Magazine.

Here is story about diplomatic negro waiter: also about two we'll known Kansas men, who can go by the names of Smith and Jones, just to tell the yarn.
 Smith and Jones look much alike and are frequently taken for each other. One day Smith was in a cer- tain big hotel not a thousand miles from Kansas City and went into the dining room for dinner. The negro waiter busily brushed off the crumbs and said: Why, how is you, MT. Jones, how is you? Is glad to see you. l hasn't seen you since I waited on your table when you all used to have 8 little game upstaihs."
 I'm fraid you are mistaken" said Smith, very quickly. My name isn't Jones. You have the wrong man.

 SAGE ADVICE
Knoxville Lady Tells How She Tried Advice of Her Neighbor and Experienced Great Im-
 provement.

Knoxville, Tenn.-"f you had seen me, before began to take Cardui, you would not think I was the same per son" writes Mrs. Mamie Towe, of 1O2 W. Main St., this city.
 "Six doctors failed to do me good, and my friends thought would die. I could hardly get out of bed or walk step.
 "At last an old lady advised me to take Cardui, and now can go most anywhere"
 The secret of lasting health is: regularity.
 If a clock does not tick regularly and evenly, it is out of order and soon wears out, or runs down. If all your functions are not regular and natural, you will soon wear out, and get old and run down.
 All ailing women need Cardui, as a gentle, refreshing tonic, and benefi. cial, curative medicine, especially adapted to their peculiar ailments.
 It is reliable, vegetable remedy for most all womanly ills.
 This is the secret of the wonderful success of Cardui during the past SC years, ill the relief and cure of ail ments peculiar to women.

Her Lauoh Broke.

She was a little fairy of seven, with eyes like diamonds and hair like spun gold, and she was romping with half dozen playmates. Touching fine looking youngster on the shoulder, she challenged him with, You can't catch me" Off they started, she twist ing and lodging with the dexterity of a half-back on football team, and he following her every movement in close pursuit. The excitement of the chase made her scream with laughter. The little fugitive finally brough up against fence, breathless and pant ing, and her pursuer, throwing his arms about her, shouted: There, I've caught you!" "Oh, yes" gasped the little fairy, "but it was cause my laugh broke and I couldn't run any more"

Fiaht Flies and Save Money.

Cows and horses that are kept busy fighting flies require more food to keep them in condition, and, indeed, it is impossible to keep them in proper condition.
 Advantage should be taken of the fact that flies constantly tend to seek the light places. A stable need not be absolutely dark in order to prevent an annoyance from fles, and in fact it is not thought best to keep the stables too dark
