One does not often hear Of aAirs mars
continuing to breed successfully until
they are twenty. whereas light brood
mares frequently produce foals when
over that age. And It is the same wieh
stations. Those belonging to the light
class win continue to sire good, robust
stock until into the early twentie0, II
they have not been overtaxed in their
youth, but with heavy-horse stres
their stud career must be reckoned q
very long one II 1t lasts till they reach
their goth year. More usually their
powers give out several years sooner.
1t is generally considered that foals
bred by very old mares Chat is. old as
breeding age goes) tend to be under
seized and weakly, but there are plen-
tiful exceptions to this. Stud books and
their records go to prove the last, and
there Is consequently no reason why a
mare OF proven value at the stud
should be discarded when she gets old.
There is, however, one disadvantage
often connected with old brood mares,
and this is that their milk flow
diminishes unduly quickly after foal-
ing; hence, in order to guard against
any adverse results arising from this
cause, 1t will be well to commence
hand feeding their foals rather ear
Her than is ordinarily done. If the
young foal Is given some oats and
bran, it will thrive nicely in spite
of the shrinkage in its dams milk.
To ensure regular breeding. on the
part Of mares. it is always desirable
TO nut them to the stud while they
are still in their early prime. or at
any rate before they become past
mark of month. The fact of their not
being bred from in their best years
not infrequenuy results in mares be-
coming permanently barren at a COM
paratively early stage in their lie.
and long before the natural breeding
faculties ought to become exhausted.
Such premature sterility may also be
due to the constitutional vigor having
been too much sapped by the years
Of unintermittent hard work which
the mare has undergone. Even II not
actually barren, aged maiden mares
are very frequently ususually diff
cult to get in foal. so that both much
patience and some management are
called for in order to achieve the
desired OBJECT. ana tHe "oist Va -
is, that when trouble OF this KIM Is
experienced the first time on breed
ing from an aged mare. she o1teh-
times proves herself al "3certa'n
breeder, and is just as likely to miss
as to become in foal again the next
time she Is put to the horse.
AS regards stations. colts OF draft
breed may be sparingly bred from at
years old, but the number OF
mares allowed must be strictly Inn
tied. so as not to impair their future
stud value. Colts belonging to the
light class are best not used till they
are years old. Four-year-old stat
lions may have a full list Of mares
tho in the case Of specially valuable
ones the number given them Is kept
restricted.

It is as If we had suddenly been

Of single touch OF natures green to

with masses Of fresh green, varied with
every design conceivable. Here 1t looks

and the hunger, the load OF worry. is
gone. The senses are bathed in sprays
Of pure, living beauty. The foliage has
come.
But man gets used to anything. good
or evil. The former becomes stale and
monotonous. The latter is first
There is little actual difference in the
foliage OF May and OF September but
in the autumn we cease to notice 1t.
How important. then. are the changes

be with foliage the whole year round
and nothing to look forward to! How
empty would life be if we were 80 sci

pleasing OF the senses. They can be
pleased, it is true. but what is beyond ?
Selfshness is it's own burial ground.
We are as pleased as little children
with the green and gold of spring. But
how soon are we tired Of 1t. The an

does not affect is a reminder that the
most exquisite of material things, the
masterpieces OF God himself, are insult

thing to gossip about or to find fault
with, can always find what he is look

But what life he lives. His soul
shrivels and withers until 1t Is shown
in his manner and looks. For such
person life has lost its SAVIOR. 1t be-
comes sour, misanthropic, whining. He
passes from bad to worse and sees no
good in anybody. His taxes are always
too high, no matter how low they may
be and he cusses his neighbor because
his neighbor is prosperous and enjoys
life"

An EP|THAPH

Beneath this stone there lies at
rest a man who always did his
best. The gods ordained that he
should move along a lowly, humble
groove. For him there was no
wealth or fame, he bore no proud
ancestral Dame, no palace doors
for him swung wide, but in his hut
he lived and died. His years were
many, and his toll brought riches
from the stubborn soil. but all
that wealth to them was brought
who owned land wheron he
wrought. He fashioned lumber
and the boards made shelter for
the languid lords. He fed the cows
and herded swine that other men
might noblv dine. From break of
dawn till close of -.day,uhe toiled
along his weary way, and took his
earnings in his hand to fatten
those who owned the land. His
feet we're scanned with brAmble
scars. that others might have
motor cars. This strip of ground
is his reward; twas giver by his
overload; it's six feet long and two
feet wide, and here they brought
him when he died. To labor hard
for fifty years. endure the burdens
and the tears, to have no grateful
no rs of rest. to toll, and bend,
and do your best, to grind. and
moil and delve and save, and at
last tu get-a grave! Poor souls
that in the darkness grope, and
weave and spin and have no hope!

HOW THE MOUNTAINS
WERE NAMED

Adirondacks -Derived from the
Canicnga (Mohawk) Iroquois 'ang-
uage, in which the original form is
"Ratirontaks," meaning bark
eaters"
Allegh envy A corruption of
the Delaware Indian name for
Allegheny and Ohio rivers, mean
ing of the name being lost.
Appalac HAN The name was
given by the Spaniards under De-
Soty, who derived it from the
name of neighboring tribe, the
Apalachi. Brinton holds it is
radical to be the Muscogee
"apala," great sea-" or great
ocean," and that "apalache" is a
compound of this word with the
Muscogee personal participle
"chi," and means chose by the
sea-"
Blue Ridge-So called from the
hue which frequently envelops its
distant SUBMITS.
CatskiIl-The mountains were
called "Katzbergs" by the Dutch,
from the number of wildcats
found in them, and the creek
which flows from the mountains,
was called "Katerskill," tom
cats" creek"
Ozark The faux arcs" was said
to refer to the bends in White
river and was applied to the Ozark
mountains, through which the
river pursues wandering course
in other words, to the mountains
at the bends of the river.

signifying "snow-clad range

PRACTICAL USE OF
~. -. THE NEW IDEA

The average reader may not be
aware of the prominence that
finger prints now play in the
capture of criminals, much less
the fact that right here in Ne
vada, bankers are employing thumb
prints to identify their patrons.
For example, if depositor Uf
Cook Banking company in Tonopah
desired to go to San Francisco or
Los Angeles and wanted to cash
paper in the city of the coast, the
Tonopah bank would have him
sign his name and place his thumb
on amin pad. such as is used for
rubber stamps, then leave the
imprint on the paper with their
signature. This slip of paper
would be sent to the hank on the
coast and when the man appeared
to daw his money, he would again
write his name and place the i'm
print of his thumb on a slip of
paper.
These would be compared with
the original from the Cook bank
and if the lines of the thumb i'm
print agreed the money would be
handed out.
Thus it will be seen that finger
prints are actually en,ering into
business and commercial life. 1t
may not be possible for us to
realize how much our personalities
impress themselves upon those
with whom we come in contact in
the daily walks of life, but it has
been demonstrated very clearly
that our finger prints are actually
left upon everything we touch

new RABBIT TRAP
FOR FARMERS

Here is a new method of trap
ping rabbits. According to the
North Side News the trap has been
tried near Jerome and been found
to work very successfully. This
trap can be built in connection
with specially built pen.
Build a pen of rabbit tight fenc-
ing three or four rods square, and
simply leave hole underneath it
which the rabbits will soon find.
Place bale of alfalfa or sheaf
Of grain on the inside, but do not
connect the tunnel of wire for two
or three days. Meantime some
rabbits will have found the hole
under tn e fence and proclamation
will have been made by the ruling
potentates'of the rabbits in that
neighborhood that mere man has
carelessy provided feast. After
a well worn trail is made to tie
opening in the fence. and the
opening has been worn smooth by
the passage of many bellies, add
the wire tunnel on the inside of
the fence.
This can be done by humping
up the wire and securing the edges
to the ground with wooden pegs.
A little dirt thrown on the edges
of the wire makes a finish to the
job. although it is not necessary.
The rabbits will continue to come
into the trap through the hole with
the tunnel extension, but when
they attemp to get out they run
around the enclosure close to the
fence and never again find the end
of the tunnel.-EXchange.
