"The statement that letters and

POLICE SAVE DRIVER

Herman Grossnlan, 1702 w.
Taylor street, non-union driver
on a Hearst's Chicago American
wagon, knocked down and injur-
ed a small unidentified boy at
West Erie and Wells streets, who
was spirited away before the po-
lice arrived.
Grossman did not stop to see
how badly his victim was injured,
but whipped up his horse and at
tempted to escape. Indignant
citizens crowded around the
Hearst driver, but the arrival of
police from the East Chicago ave.
station prevented any violence.
Six men of the neighborhood
were arrested on charges of
threatening the Hearst strike
breaker. The driver was not ar
rested.

What Are Cork Legs7


= One often meets with a description,
especially In some Of the older novels,
of men with cork legs, and upon read
ing the graphic accounts Of some OF
some Of these old sea dogs. for most
OF them were sailors. one would natu-
rally think they had artificial legs
made Of cork.
But artificial legs are never made
OF cork. They do not get their name
from the material Of which, but from
the place at which, they were made.
This was not the city bf Cork In Ire

London, which was the headquarters
for the artificial limb trade in the old
days. just as certain streets are known
as the locality for certain wholesale
businesses In our big cities today.

light weight mares and about one
third or one-Quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight mares"
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking, upon the ques-
ton being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding of
horses. What kind of mares should
I use? want to know all things con-
sidered. whether I should buy 1900
pound, 1,400 pound or a 1,70O pound
mare?' In other words, the land
owner as business man wanted to
know What would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative eff
cheney on the farm and what the rela-
tive market value of the colts pro-
duced, of these three classes Of mares.
Here is how he thinks out the mat
ter, and his thinking was based on ex-
tended observation and experience:
ALI three classes can, Of course. be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen.
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency. If we rate the LOO pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow
ance is made If the 1850 pound horse
is credited at 80 per cent, and the
1000 pound horse at 80 per cent. The
colts bred to a good draft sire will
average somewhere about 1900
pounds; colts from 1,450 pound mares
1000 to 100 pounds, and colts from
LOO pound mares, 1900 to 1000
pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years of age. The
same is true Of the medium weight
colts, but buyers are securing the
country for heavy colts. Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier.
or If carried until they are older and
then put on the market, the prices adj
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1900 pounds will not bring
j more than $40 to sits on the average,
because they come In competition
with the great glut Of common
| light drafters on the market. Those
weighing around 1850 pounds to LOO
pounds will bring 5000 to $240, and
heavy weight geldings will bring $500
to $3.50. The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

ALSACE sToRks ON DECREASE
Careful Supervision Of Birds Shows
They Are Rapidly Dying Out
Various Reasons Given.

Every year the number of storks tc
pc seen in Alsace becomes less. the
London Daily Globe states OF the
four nests perched on the big Chin
neys Of the old roofs of Strassburg,
only one has been occupied this year.
In many of the villages the great
migrators have ceased for long time
to relieve the landscape. and it seems
only q question of time when the
stork in Alsace will be memory.
Various are the causes assigned for
this desertion-the drainage Of the
marshes, the multiplication of tele.
phone and telegraph wires and the
smoke from factory chimneys.
In Germany for the better study OF
storks there has been created sort Of
service In connection with the educa-
ton department which tends to set up
an "etat civil" for each bird. or. in
other words, to register them after the
manner which obtains for citizens in
France.
Each bird is captured where posi-
BILE and metallic disk affixed to its
leg, and German officials, wherever
the birds are believed to migrate,
have instruction to send to the depart

concerning storks which are German
subjects. POSSIBLY this labelling may
have something to do with the scar.
city, By this system OF registration
the authorities have learned some
thing of the migratory habits Of the
bird; for instance, one was found dead
at the Cape Of Good Hope whose place
OF origin was eastern Prussia.

scarcity of the stork has been brought

The large central markets for the prod
acts Of the farm fails to affect the
sale OF single article directly on the
farm.
Probably the one thing which the
general run of horses that reach the
markets lack more often than any
other is size and incidentally there
fore weight It is stated from good
authority that there are more good
horses marketed in the Union Stock
Yards at Chicago than any other
place in the United States, and yet
If the 100000 horses marketed there
not more than $4,000 would weigh
over 1850 pounds, and not more than
5000 were what would be termed Al
horses. First class draft horses for
| the city trade should not weigh less
than 1000 pounds when in working
condition, and il they weigh 1,750
pounds they will satisfy all the better.
To carry such weights horses should
stand about 16 hands high or over
and should have conformations in
proportion.
The condition OF a horse is all i'm
iportant, both as to soundness and
thrift. Horses that have poor feet,
bad hooks, weak wind, or poor shout
iers are sticklers on the market. They
! sell very slowly and at very low
prices. So also do horses that are in
poor condition of thrift. Fat always
helps to sell horses quickly and at
good prices, for it makes them look
good and the horses, moreover, do not
need to be conditioned before they
can be put to work. A horse which
looks thin when it leaves the farm is
liable to look considerably thinner
after it has been shipped and arrives
at the sales stables. Fat horses ship
far better than thin, thriftless ones.
Then, too, the suspicion Of being a
poor doer on the best Of care is liable
to attach itself to the thin horse in
the mind OF the buyer, whereas when
he looks upon a well conditioned
horse no such suspicion occurs to him.
| Character is a valuable asset to
any horse that is placed on the mar
ket. and like size and weight is gen.
orally lacking in the usual stock OF
horses to be selected from In the
country. A horse that shows intelli-
gence. good breeding and those quail

weight and condition being otherwise
alike.
