COLOR IN HORSES.

From the Louisville Courier-JournalD
The color Of a horse is no indication
of the real value of the animal. Horse
owners have their preferences and their
prejudicles, but according to w. $ An
dcrson, assistant in horse huSnandry at
the Kentucky agricultural experiment sta
tion. 'tho statement cannot he mado too
emphatic that speed. intelligence Vigor
and other good traits are inherited indie
pendently of color
This view Is expressed in a bulletin
recently published by the experiment sta
ton on "Tho inheritance of coat colors
in horses Mr.. Anderson evidently has
made a comprehensive study of the sub
jet an his conclusions are decidedly in
tcresting. II" produces n convincing ar
ray of facts to show that there are laws
governing the inheritance of color in
horses and that horses of desired color
can be produced will
Horse colors, as recognized by the stud
books. are gray roam, dun, hay. brown.
black and chestnut The horses register
ed As brown. Mr.. Anderson says, vary
in shade from dark bay to black His
study of breeding records indicates that
that black is dominent to chestnut and
recessive to all others; that bay is domi-
nant to chestnut and black and rccessivc
to the three coordinate colors- gray. roam
and dun.
II is Mr. Andersons belief that the laws
governing the heredity of colors promise
to be one of the greatest value land an
indication of the method 'for further re-
search for the laws controlling the trans
mission Of gait speed style. conforma-
ton, intelligence. stamina, docility and
all the qualities which add value to the
horse" And as there are small bodies In
the germ cells which determine the color.
IT is only fair inference that there are
similar determiners in the germ cells for
the transmission of every valuable trait"
The possibility of scientific horse breed
ing are little short of marvellous if Mr..
Anderson's theory is correct. Assuredlv.

TWO WOMEN AND A FRUIT
GARDEN.
KATI; LANE.

The special care Of a fruit ga rden would
hardly seem to be exactly the kind of
work woman would find congenla; at
least so the writer believed until one dav
she came across a snug little farm of
women. The entire place was divided be-
tween a good-sized lawn. we'll surrounded
by shrubbery; flower garden, containing
ANIMALS. perennials, and wild flowers
drought from the neighboring fields ana
woods; an acre Of raspberries and black
berries a substantial vegetable "a rden,
and a fOur-acre orchard made up entire
" OF dwarf trees These included apples,
pears. ounces cherries, peaches. and
2lums.
Quality, not quantity, was the motto of
hese two women. and quality they had
n every line. The sales from Cottage
.arm consisted OF preserved berries, cher
ries, and jams, ounce marmalade, plum
butter, as well as peaches, apples, pears
and flowers. The only labor employed
was a woman to do the Homework and
man to help outside. The preservius
was done in a four-room portable house
to which water had been piped and the
cooking outfit was up to date in ever

ing had been installed. The orchard was
laid out in rows, the trees being set y
feet apart each way, with row of berry
canes between them. The plan of WORK,
as nearly as can he remembered was
something like this: The first Of the spring
program consisted in going over tn.
flower beds with hand cultivators; Will q
this was being done by the women the
man ploughed and planted the garden.
Next the crop Of clover, which had been
planted in the orchard the previous July,
was turned under and the ground cult
waited. The canes were also gone over and
tied to the wire trellis.
KEEPING BUSY.
BY now it was time to transplant the
flower seedlings, which had been started
In cod-frames also the spraying was
done with a one-horse compressed air
barrel sprayer; in fact, all the work en-
the place was done by one sturdy hors
and a small automobile. which did the
road work, Thus through the growing
season the work went on, and almost
every moment had its special duties. Tho
apples, pears. and peaches were sold to a
frulterer In nearby city, at top prices,
as well as the luscious blackberries, while
the flowers were all ordered by n summer
