 The tragedies of early married life were illustrated in an incident that occurred rot long ago in a Baltimore household
 A young wife sought out her mother-n- law with a most agonizing expression and threw herself into a chair with an outburst of grief.
 Has anything happened to Henry?' anxiously asked the mother-in-law.
 He's taken to staying out at nights!' walled the unhappy wife.
 Tt doesn't seem possible, How long las this been going on? How late does he stay away?'

QUALITIES OF
ARABIAN HORSE
Best A tn critics Claim tn ere
Never Was One OF That
Breed Spotted or Calico
in Color.

The best authorities on the Arabian
horse claim there never was a really
pure one of that breed that was spot
ted or calico in color. Even the cir
Gus men, however, have not nearly so
much use for the skewbald horse as
they once had. The small supply fills
their demand. They find that horses
of the draft breeds pull their wagons
better, while for ring uses the tougher
bone and sinew of the thoroughbred
or trotter recommend them. Still
some attractions die hard and a few
spotted freaks are always to be found
beneath every big canvass. The
Arabian horse may briefly be describ-
ed as thoroughbred on a small scale.
There are many fine specimens of the
breed in this country but more in
England. 1t is difficult to get really
good specimens out of the Sultan's do
mains. Not only is their expectation
prohibited by imperial decree, but
rivalry among the sheiks of the no
madic Arabians which own the best
bands is so keen that good stations
can hardly be bought at first hands
and no one wants to pay much money
for poor individual and then go deer
down in pocket two or three tine
more to place IL on ship board.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1912-06-21

A horse should be watered before
feeding, and never given a large guam
tity of water after a meal, for the
simple reason that the water will wash
the food out of the stomach before
stomach digestion has taken place,
and the food VIII not be well prepared
for absorption; and besides it is some
times the cause Of collie.
~ There is popular idea that a warm
nJse should not be allowed to drink
and unlike a great many other popu-
lar idea there is little truth in it.
II you vAter warm horse in the or
binary VIZ, letting him drink all that
he will, Np are likely to have foun-
dered hoFe on your hands. This is
especially SO if, at the time, the horse
is fatigued- Nevertheless, it is always
safe to allow him from six to ten swal-
lows, no matter how warm he Is. If
this be given on going into the stable
and he be allowed to stand and eat
hay for an hour and is then offered
water, he will not drink nearly so
hIuNA as hC mOulu uGu AOllS DSSu
given before.
The danger is not in the first swal,
low, as we often hear it asserted, but
tn the excessive quantities he will
drink if not restrained.
John Splan, the great trainer
writes:
"As to water, | think that a horse
should have all that he wants at all
times. "A man says: Why; will you
give your horse water before a race?
Yes, before the race, in the race, and
after the race, and any other time
that he wants to drink. When l say
give your horse all the water he wants
before the race, do not mean thai
you shall tie him in a warm stall
where he cannot get drink for five
or six hours On hot day, and theT
take him to the pump and give him al
that he wants. What l mean is t.
give him water often and, in that way
he will only take small quantity a
a time"
After long, continuous exertion the
system is greatly depleted of fluid
Nature calls for its replacement, anG
this is the cause of a thirst which
is so intense that, if the animal is no.
restrained at this time, he may drinl
much more than he needs.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1912-06-21

The custom, almost universally fol-
lowed, of giving the morning meal be-
fore water, is not very Objectionable,
either theoretically or practically. At
this time there is no depletion of fluid,
consequently the horse is not very
thirsty and does not drink rapidly or
excessively and apparently very little
evil results from this method. How
ever, the writer much prefers that the
horse should have an opportunity to
drink what is good for him before the
morning meal.
Personally, l much prefer keeping
horses, both summer and winter, in
an open shed, with large water tank
in the yard, to tying them by the
head in barn.
Not only in giving water to horses
must care be exercised but in every
other way.
Many good driving horse has his
years of usefulness cut short by being
left in the hands of some person who
does not know how to take care of a
horse or does not care what happens
to the horse that happens to come in
to his hands.
One of the most common ways of
| injuring a driving horse is by driving
! him hard in cool weather, and when
| the horse has been brought into a
sweat, leaving him uncovered and ex-
| posed to cold winds or to drafts in
a stable.
1t is seldom necessary to drive a
| horse so hard on a cool day that he
will be in a sweat. In warm weather
| it is different, as the horse, then
sweats with little exertion.
When the horse has been driven I'M
| til he is covered with foam and sweat,
he should be taken into stable, rub
bed down with whisps of hay or piece
of rough cloth, and then blanketed.
The neglect Of such precautions has
| resulted in many horse catching a
| cold that has proved serious.
Driving is a science itself, and there
| are many mature people who have not
learned how to drive a horse. They
have no idea as to the amount of work
he is able to perform without lessen
| ing his vitality.
1t must be remembered that horse
as well as a man, is limited as to what
he can do.

PRODUCING GOOD
CREAM AND MILK
Farmers Not SO Much to Blame
for Their CareIessness as
Price Paid for the
Poor Article.

The education of dairymen in the
milk is progressing. Some of the
large creameries, particularly those
of the west, are paying for cream &C
cording to its real value and are care
fully grading it.
Time was under sharp competition
when the creameries took all kinds of
cream just as it came and paid the
same price for good, bad and indiffer-
ent. 1t was not long before the
creameries found out that this did
not pay and now many of them are
separating the cream and grading it
according to condition. For instance,
number one consists of separator
cream which Is delivered twice a
week in winter and three times a
week in summer This must be rea-
sonably sweet and in good condition
and test at least 80 per cent butter
fat.
Cream graded as number two in
cludes all hand separator cream de-
liyered not less than once a week in
winter and twice in summer. 1t must
be reasonably clean, in good condition
and test not less than 20 per cent.
in butter fat, The lowest grade, num-
Der three, includes all gravity cream
and all hand separator cream which
tests less than 20 per cent. This
grade also includes all cream that is
~ 4
more than 20 per cent.
The creameries ought to have adopt
ed some system of this kind long ago
and 1t is their fault largely that they
have not been able to produce better
butter than they have. Much of the
creamery butter on the market is
mighty poor stuff and it comes from
mixing good and bad cream.
Farmers are not so much to blame

Downstairs

Copyright. 1912. by Associated Literary
Kendall held himself tense. From
somewhere in the great empty house
there had come the sound of foot
step.
His hand went out instinctively
toward the loaf of bread and the bit
of cheese which constituted his
breakfast At all events he must
hide these.
Again there was silence, and with
sigh of relief he returned to his
meal only to throw his head up again,
listening.
This time the sound was unmis-
taxable. There was some one in the
house.
Gathering up his provisions, he
stored them in the fireplace, crum.
ping a newspaper carelessly il front
of them, that they might be screened
| from view.
Then he crept to the top of the
stairs He was on the third floor
He seemed to look down through a
haze Of dusty pale green light to the
entrance hall. A woman stood there
She had a key in her hand. and ever
from that distance he could see that
she was pale and caTeworn.
Bring the little trunk in here" he
heard her say, suddenly and clearly
to some one outside; you can leave
1t in the hall"
She opened small pocketbool
and took out a coin. He saw a biz
hand reach out to grasp it; then thu
door closed, and the girl sat dow
on the little trunk and drew lonl
breath of relief.
Kendall stood, irresolute. He turn
ed back into his own barren room, "
don't care" he murmured.
He returned repeatedly to the to-
of the steps, however, and watches
the girl drag her trunk into wha
had once been a parlor He coul
hear her light footsteps moving t
and fro. Later in the day she wen
out, and he descended the stair

for their carelessness, as they have
been paid as much for poor cream as
good. OF course this sort of business
did not offer any inducement to send
good sweet, clean cream to market
and to send it often. Now that many

into this campaign of education the
