LOVE AND THE AERoPLANE
Some Good Advice for Those Daring
Mortals Who Would Do Their
Counting Aioft.

Secure nice roony aeroplane, and
place in 1t an old-fashioned sofa or
armchair. Then put the girl in. get
in yourself and turn on the power.
Do not be IN any hurry. Get far
enough up so that you can be preoc-
cupied for a few moments without
landing.
1t is Just as well to strap the girl
In. She can't get away, of course, but
you can kiss a girl In an aeroplane
much easier if she is firmly secured.
Always keep one hand on the steer
ing apparatus and the other ON the
girl; but If worst comes to worst, let
go the steering apparatus.
The following schedule, IL adhered
to, will prevent ordinary accidents:
Five hundred feet up, hold girls
hand.
Six hundred feet up, arm around her
waist
Seven hundred feet. drop everything
and hold girl. working steering appa-
ratus with both feet.
Be careful, when you alight, not to
come down near church. In the ex-
element of the occasion you may for
get yourself and marry the girl.
Many fatal accidents have resulted In
this manner-2uck.

PERCHER0NS FOR FARM WORK
Two Stations and TWO Mares of Pure
Bred Type Used on Big Manure
Spreader In Virginia.
my 8. nd CLINToNA

CBy s. M CLINTON)
A little over a year ago / paid a
visit to a breeding farm In the IA
nous Valley of Virginia" where Per
cheron horses were raised, and was
struck with the fact that this breed
possessed admirable qualities as farm
horses, as well as city drafters.
Two stations and two mares were
working on a big manure-spreader,
being all driven by ore man. These
superb animals were pure-bred Per-
cherons, and averaged 1850 each.
The young stations were easily man
aged, although they were being used
In the stud.
The mares were splendid specimens
of the breed, and it was great sight
to see these four magnificent animals
working quietly together.
The compf Jtness of body, the
cleanness of limb and the splendid
structure of their feet, all go to make
the Percheron popular, both as a.
farm horse and a city drafter.
For farm work they do not need to
weigh 1850, as did those four pure
breeds just mentioned, these being

writer has seen several days pass

VACUUM CLEANER FOR HORSE

In this era Of vacuum cleaners for

the pipe as needed. Where hereto
