THE FAR PORT.

Down the tide of drifting years. Under sun and moon and star, Guided by our hopes and fears, Life's' frail boat drifts on afar Many ports where we would stay Seem so peaceful, fair and still But they hold us for d day, And we go nor know our will. Fairy isles ahead we see, Sun-kisseu, set in wondrous blue. When near their entertainments fec And we seek for regions new. But the new so soon is old, d desires so soon are gone; We lay waste the moments gold Some fresh hope to follow on.
  So the far port calls and caD(, With it's waters still unu d; This fair port, when twilig falls, we small reach on hfe'S 4ast tide.

The Elbert County tribune., 1913-03-21

A few words of advice to the farmer
who intends breeding his mares this
season may not be amiss. There ia
certainly room for improvement in
the way some men attend to this part
OF their work Seemingly. they do
not mix In enough brains and COM
mon senpe.
Each breeder should firmly impress
upon his mind the fact that he ia do
Ing the wrong thing when he breeds
small mare to a large horse, says a
writer in Farm Progress. True, the
large horse will bring the better price.
but the horse raised from a mare that
has been bred to a large sire is not
worth the price. even though 1t has
the size.
We might say that quality and fin
ish are the two most essential points
to be considered in horse and these
can be obtained only by proper mat
Ing. Mismating is what has filled the
country with SO many scrubs, and un-
til breeders give this matter more at
tention. there is likely to be little i'm
provement.
Over In England great many of
the breeders give their attention to
rearing cobs, but our breeders seem to
pay scant attention to the demands
for that sort of animals. The man
who owns a compact little mare of
less than thousand pounds weight
has the opportunity to raise q very
valuable animal If he will use little
discretion in choosing the sire.
By breeding to short-legged, com
pact and handsome sire he Gill be
able to secure an animal that is
stylish. of good bone and full OF ac-
ton.
On the other hand, II he choose a
big. stupid sire weighing ton or
more 1t will only be freak of nature
II he secures colt of any real value
1t will be almost certain to inherit
more of the weak points of both sire
and dam than 1t will of their good
points.
1t Ia contrary to the laws of nature
for the small mare to produce large
colt. Her capacity is such that the
foetus Is cramped and starved, hence
1t is foaled a large. raw-boned, un-
calmly colt. Even after foaling the
mare cannot furnish enough nourish-
ment. and the body is built up weak,
fiabby and without muscle.
Every breeder must admit that the
country is full of just such animals
as described above. nearly all OF

THOUGHT MAKES THE HOME
Most Liberal Expenditures, Without
Tastes, Can Not Be Made to Produce
the Charm Desired.

It Is not necessarily the large and
wealthy house that is the prettiest;
the cottage may far exceed it In
beauty and present the most perfect
picture of home, whereas the mansion
may be cold and formal. Most of US
visit the house that never appears to
be lived in. where there is no charm,
no taste, no warmth; yet the furni-
ture is good, there is no lack of money
to keep up a good appearance, and
there are servants to do the neces-
sary work.
The woman who insists on her
rooms always looking pretty will
spend a little money each week on
flowers or pot ferns. Small laurels
In pots look well and last we'll; they
also make economical window plants.
OF course window-box should find
a place on the ground floor sill If not
above. and be filed with evergreens In
winter and flowers in summer. Blue
tiles or green tiles look well In flow
er boxes.
Pictrue frames are often allowed
to hang on the walls in a disgraceful
condition especially white-painted
frames, and those can SO easily be
freshened up with a coat of enamel
paint, which should not be stinted
when required.
/ Then. again, the material of uphol-
stored furniture is sometimes as much
soiled as the picture frames, and its
unfit condition is a great offense to
the eye. 1t may not be convenient to
re-upholster, bu at any rate chintz or
cretonne loose covers could be pro-
vided.
Let all draperies used in the house
be clean. otherwise there> will be q
lack Of freshness about the house.
Send chair and soft covers and cur
tains to the wash before their soil
ed condition is overaggressive, and
bear the same rule in mind with re-
gard to cushion covers.
The pretty home is the one that is
clean and tasteful.
