Once-a long time ago
Tom had read in a newspaper
of how rich folk retire their
faithful horses when the au-
tumn of life creeps on; put
them out to pasture where
they end their days in work.
free contentment and plenty.
Jerry has been a good old
horse for u.s." Tom told his
wife at Christmas time, land
I'm going to give him a
darned good New Year pres

"A feed-bag?" asked Mrs.
Tom-who has no imagina-
ton, bless her.
mo Stree" replied Tom
grandly. I'm going to send
Jerry out to Jake Ander-
sons ranch to run wild; he
amt got to do any more
work for anybody. He's earn
ed vacation-for life."
Mrs. Tom agreed that it
would be Just lovely" and
the next day Tom Mccarthy
bought another horse, a fine
bay, for s11O to step into old
Jerry's place; or to occupy
his stall, at least.

Carthy, the teamster, owned
Jerry and they were friends
almost pals.
When Tom came out to-
the little barn on X street
to feed Jerry and Blackie,
the team that hauled Toms
van, it was always Jerry that
got the lions share of the
oats, and it was Jerry who
had an extra fork-full of
straw for his bed, perhaps.
Not that Tom was thought
less of Blackie, but he'd
had Jerry a long time, and
they were friends.
At that, we all play favor
ties in life.
So Jerry and Tom McCar-
thy worked together for nigh
unto a decade, which is a
broad span in the life of a
horse.
This winter it seemed to
Tom that Jerry was begin

how much Jerry would bring
at the sales stable.
Jerry was sold off at last,
when he was a year old.
Maybe he rubbed his
mouse-co!ored, velvety nose
against his mothers shoul-

battered him and led him
off; maybe not-for he was
only a horse.
So began Jerry's servitude
to Man.
Jerry was a good worker.
He didn't shirk at the heavy

The full force of the terrible
gale is centered in the very 10.

HORSES ARE
HARDEST HIT

Horses attached to heavy deliv-
cry wagons suffered most from
the storm today.
The hills of lower 9th, 18th
and 18th street brought many of
the patient beasts to the ground,
and some suffered sprained legs
in a brave effort to stick to their
jobs.
The pavement on 9th street
between Pacific avenue and O
street was recently corrugated
and helped give the horses a
foothold today.

LAYING TILE IN QUlCKSAND

Reply to NJ. f. Barton, Mishawaka,
Indiana: "Will you please give me a
little information on laying tile on
farm that has quicksand bottom.
also little advice on killing out
smartweed?"
This is quite a difficult proposition,
and we believe the only way that re-
suits can be obtained is to use some
durable timber and lay board in the
bottom OF the ditch on which the tile
can be laid to keep it from getting out
Of line. You would need a board
about the same width as the tile, that
Is, for 4-inch tile 1x4 board would
be sufficient. At the points where
the boards join short piece IL or IA
inches long should be placed below so
that there would not be a possibility
OF the tile becoming disjointed by one
end OF the board settling.
II you can get considerable fall
the sand will probably not bother in
nlling up the tile, but il you cannot
get fall of three or four inches per
100 feet, it would be best, il possible.
TO fill in about the tile with clay or
some other soil through which the
water would seep and at the same
time keep out the sand
AS to smartweed, we believe II you
get your land properly drained you
Will not be bothered with this pest,
as 1t only grows in soil that contains
TOO much water for the proper growth
OF ordinary crops. II draining does
not do 1t, we are sure that you can
get rid of 1t by cultivation. A few
crops OF corn will help rid your land
Of this pest.

M0LASSES AS A STOCK FEED

the sugar or carbohydrates, and the
conclusion of the Bulletin seems to be
that these can be bought more cheaply
