IMPORTED PERCHERONS
IN SOMERSET CO.
Harvey d. Eaton Tells Few Facts
About His Fine Horses

Harvey d. Eaton Esq. of Water
Vile, VINO has a fine farm in North
Cornville has told by request in re-
cent publication of The Maine Farmer,
something of his imported Percherons.
We are privileged to print the inter
esting article as follows:
In the spring of 1911, l needed
an additional horse for work on the
farm. Horses were being bought all
around me and all over the State,
but they were almost wholly grade
western gedings. Careful inquiry
revealed the fact that the sales of
these animals in this state amount
ed to about 100000 per year 1t
seemed to me best to buy a mare
with view to raising colts. |
bought a registered Percheron mare
that had been bred by the Dunhams
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1914-01-08

in Illinois, She was kept at work
but was bred to the Percheron stall
lion, Pioneer, at Skowhegan.
In December of that year, visited
the International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton at Chicago. 1t was an eye
opener. | realized that l had never
seen horses before. The immeasur-
able advance of the west over the east
in breeding live stock was rubbed in
hard Yet knew we could raise that
kind of stuff if We had the stock to
start with and would only make the
necessary effort. And as the direct
result, | bought another American
bred Percheron mare. The one first
bought was worked steadily at hard
farm work and numbering, up to May
|, 1912. and six hours later dropped
fine filly foal. After a few days, she
went back to work, but the foal thriv-
ed, so that the day it was eight months
old it weighed 1855 pounds. 1t is still
growing finely and has been broken
to harness.
In December 1912, | again visited
the International Exposition at Chi
cago. and was again impressed with
belief that similar stuff might be
raised in Maine | talked the matter
over with Finch Brothers, from whom
had bought my second mare, and
finally engaged them to import three
mares. They notified me when the
vessel was due at New York in Febru-
airy, 1913, and l met them there. They
had a large number and | bought four
mares in foal. Two of the mares lost
their colts through troubles which are
not likely to happen on my farm
again; the other two have raised colts.
also the second mare bought the year
before. Not long afterward, | en-
gagged Finch Brothers to bring me a
stallion and another pair of mares.
They reached New York, Nov Il. 1913,
and were in my barn Nov 20. The
stallion was foaled April 8, 1912, and
should be able to care for my mares
and perhaps few more next season.
The mares are both in foal, and with
four of the other mares should give
us six colts next spring.
In my judgment. Maine should be
raising horses for herself and all the
rest of New England. But there must
be good stock to start with, good
breeding and good feeding. We have
had some good stations, but their in
fluence has been almost wasted on
light mares, and poor feeding of colts
has finished the job. The worst
enemy of good breeding is the man

Perhaps the worst infant prodigy on
record was Christian Heinecker, born
at Lubbock in 1921. At ten months he
could speak and repeat every word
spoken to him, at twelve months he
knew by heart a great portion of the
Bible, at three years he spoke and
read French and Latin as easily as
his native tongue. In his fourth year
he employed himself in the study of
religion and church history, and his
fame as a scholar spread so that the
king OF Denmark sent for him, and
was astonished at his learning. Just
before he was Ave, however, Heineck-
err fell sick and died-and the world
breathed more freely.

tenching tools, hurriedly builds up an

tured trench and consolidates the po-
sition against possible counter at
tack The other half of the force
opens fire on the Germans in the next
line of trenches. A gain of some
times 100 yards is made in this way
during the night.
Young soldiers going for the first
time into the trenches declare that
the work is extremely enervating, but
they soon become accustomed to their
duties. Their excitement when leaY-
ing the trenches to attack the Ger
mans soon resolves itself, they say,
into a peculiar calmness. Each sol
dier, when he sees his opponents, ap-
pears to select the man who appar-
emily is making directly for him, with
weapon. He takes steady aim with
his rifle and if he misses he dashes
forward and engages his men in per

Galveston Texas, Dec. 31.-Increase
in ocean freight rates for cotton from

Before the war rates to Liverpool,
Havre and Bremen were approximate.
ly As cents per hundred; to BARGE
Iona and Genoa 65 cents, and to Goth

50 to S. cents. Present quotations to
these ports are: Liverpool, 81 per hum

l'Bremen, ss to ss.25: Gothenberg
$3.50: Barcelona and Genoa, s1.25.
For many years previous to the war
the highest ocean rate for cotton to
