practice of breeding the farm mares
for fall colts should prove advantage
GUS; however, very few farmers have
made 1t success.
To be sure mare can rear her foal
very nicely during the winter and II
she fails to get with foal in the spring
there is no good reason why she
should be allowed to miss the whole
year, but as a general thing the spring
colts pay best
Spring is the natural season for
mares to bring forth their young.
This is not the most important reason.

MERCER FREEHOLDERS
READY FOR A BATTLE
LFrom 4 STAR correspondent.l

TRENTON, N. J., May 2s.-Another
legal fight between members of the
Board of Freeholders and the inval-
idated smaller board now seems prob
able, as the former organization is
expected to disregard the new law
which provides compensation for the
ousted freeholders and their APP
pointees.
A fight between the two factions is
practically assured If all or the major
ity of the freeholders hold the same
opinion of the situation as does their
director, Horace G. Hough, who dis
approves the payment of salaries to
the men who claim to have served the
county Mr.. Hough states that he
would willingly aid the small board
members in collecting the money
which they spent for campaign pur-
poses, but that he does not favor
compromising them for services rem
dered from the time they took of
flee until the time the Supreme Court
ousted them.

LONDON, May 29.-Anticipation of
an heir to the Dukedom of Roxburghe,
ten years after the marriage of Miss
