MANS DEBT TO THE
HORSE

OF all dumb brutes the horse Is the
one which most deserves the gratitude
OF man. 1t has been his docile and
willing servant for ages. 1t has eased
and aided him in the dull business
OF getting a living. 1t has played
greater part in human progress thar
many race OF men.
Until man had made the horse his
servitCr and ally the thing that we
now know as civilization was out OF
his reach. The mere labor OF getting
his daily bread consumed all of his
energies. But when the first pillow

man began to have leisure to plan and
dream. Life became to him less y
matter of muscle and more a matter
of mind. 1t was then that progress
really began.
The horse appeals very little to the

EGG EccENTRicl1IEs.

If eggs sold by the pound, It would
be better business to buy the big.
ones, for there is less proportionate
waste in shells. Two of the best
would weigh as much and contain
more nourishment than three of the
