The Shire horse Is essentially the
English farmers own. Across the
border the Clydesdale holds sway. 1t
Is flatterfng to the English breeder to
know that America and Canada are
now taking more Shires than they
have ever done before.
England today is being constantly
secured by American buyers for the
right kind Of Shire horses.
The English Shire horse has i'm
proved vastly Of recent years. in uni

has vastly better pasterns and quality
Of hair and bone.
The farmers brood mare-the rent
payer-is a real feminine type, name

to stallion OF great masculinity, pos

naturally a free mover, with fiat

Enqland's Oldest School.

A controversy has arisen In England
as to which school has the right to
claim greatest age. There are two
schools which were founded In the
early part Of the seventh century-the
Kings school, Rochester. and the
Kings school, Canterbury. Justus, on
his appointment to the see Of Roches-
ter in 604, made provision for a school
in connection with the cathedral. Au-
gustine established the Canterbury
school about the same time. st. Pc
ter's at York dates back to the elev.
enth century.

clined to get quality at the expense OF
weight and substance. Shows are the
best advertisement that the English
tenant-farmer has for getting rid Of
his wares to the landlord or the rich
breeder.
Shows In an English summer are as
plentiful as sparrows. They are held
upon the slightest provocation, where
two or three horse breeders are gath
cred together.
One of the most gratifying features
Of the Shire horse breeding in the old
country, Is that the rich man settles
in the locality. or suddenly becomes
prominent as a breeder of first-class
animals. He spends no end of money
on buying and maturing.
These often fall into the hands OF
the farmer cheaply. and very often
the farmer sells back their offspring
at considerable prices.
Shire service is cheap in England
when one considers the enormous out
lay Of some Of the breeders, and the
tenant farmer, or the farmer whose
land is only rented, has all the bene
fits of his rich proprietor's patronage
The old country may have old
fashioned ways, but the farmer
knows when he is well off and he
knows that to raise Shire horses sue
4 cessfully is to have a bank balance
and to have no haunting fears from
disastrous season.

Nejohborhood EXCHANGES.

The difficulty of exchanging tools
and labor with neighbors is in the
personality. Some men will expect
to use borrowed tools all through the
favorable weather and then return
them in a damaged condition too late
to be Of much use to the owner. In
borrowing labor this kind of neighbor
will work the hired man half to death
and then in returning the labor spend
half his time telling stories. In ex-
changing labor or anything else pick
out farmer who will practice the
golden rule.

Real COURAGE

He was the small son of a minister
and his mother was teaching him the
meaning of courage.
"Supposing," she said. there were
twelve boys in one bedroom. and
eleven got into bed at once, while the
other knelt down to say his prayers,
that boy would show true courage"
"Oh," said the young hopeful, IT
know something that would be more
courageous than that? Supposing
there were twelve ministers in one
bedroom. and one got into bed with
